San Diego

So last week my doctors that I work for gave me the opportunity to go to San Diego with them and a few of my co workers to attend a Endodontic Convention. Here is a little view from my hotel room on the 1st night.

And here is a little picture of the Bay. So needless to say we taken care of very well.

Here are the two guys I owe a HUGE thank you to for letting me come with them. They also surprised us on Thursday morning with a sail boat ride around the bay. I had such a good time I didn't even get sick!!

Here our sail is up and we are ready to ride the water. Our captain of our boat was full of information all about the air craft carriers that were stationed. He new a lot about all the little museums and places that not many people new about. He made the boat ride very interesting!!

On Friday a couple of the girls and I had the opportunity to go to mission beach and play in the Ocean. We had so much fun playing in the sand and the water. Trust me it was all not like this. Our mornings were pretty open however our afternoons were packed with classes. So we made the most of our mornings when we could.

Here is all of us getting ready to go on our boat ride on Thursday morning.

Again I owe a HUGE thank you to my doctors for letting me go and learn at the convention. As well as have some fun in San Diego.

Update

So I was recently told by my co-worker that I need to update my blog...As you can see I have not done so in quite some time...So here it is.

One of my biggest update of my life is that I bought a house in August last year. I now live in Mesa in a Two bedroom townhouse with my cousin Nicole. I LOVE owning my own house. It is so fun to decorate it the way I would like and not have to worry about my land lord getting mad at me. I am now in the process of doing my back yard! If it were not for my oldest brother Ryan it wouldn't have gotten done...Well it would have, I just would have paid a lot more money. He has saved me so much in the money and he even did all the labor for me as well. I owe him so much and love him dearly. So this is a HUGE thank you to my BIG brother.

Here he is such a handsome devil.

I also owe a HUGE thank you to my parents they came every weekend to dig trenches, lay cement, and lay rock. They came and did all the hard labor along side my brother and I. I also owe a thank you to all my other family members who came and helped me through those fun weekends.

So here are a few pictures of my humble abode.

This was me on the day the I received my keys to my house.

Here are a few before pictures of my back yard, well its more of a space then a yard!!

And here it is after!! I am so happy that it is all done!!

In January my second oldest brother and sister in law gave me a brand new nephew. He is so cute. I love looking at him and squeezing his little legs. With this new addition He makes six nieces and nephews. I love being an aunt, it is so much fun and brings me so much joy in my life. It is also great birth control when I babysit. I learn that I am not ready to go from 0 to 2 or 4 kids in an instant. I love to babysit them all but I would definitely am not as patient as my two wonderful sisters in law.


Here are some pictures of my beautiful family.

Here is Ryan, Jessica, Avery, and Gage.

Here is Robert, Brandee, Eden, Reighns, Rimington, and Riggin.

Last year for my 22 birthday my parents gave me a puppy. Her name is Allie Mae Stokes. She is so much fun to have around. We have our days where she still likes to chew things up just to get attention from me and those days I am not so sure on why I got her. But then when she looks up at me and gets so excited when I come home I could not even imagine giving her up. She is so full of life and never runs out of energy. So here she is when she was a puppy and how she has grown in just a year.

Here is Allie when we got her as a puppy.

Here is Allie and my sisters dog Mari, they are the best of friends and never go anywhere with out each other.
