Weekend Getaway

Last weekend we went to Las Vegas and Zions. We wanted to do something fun for Curt's birthday and also spend time with his family. So, we all packed up and went on a road trip.

Our first stop was Hoover Dam. It took us a lot longer than expected to get there due to traffic, so when we got there we just had to take a couple pictures and then go back to Vegas for our show. Even though we were only there for a short time, I was really glad we went. It was extremely windy, as you can probably tell from my crazy hair.


Next stop was our hotel. I know if I don't mention our amazing hotel, my father-in-law would never let me live it down :). He did a great job finding us a super nice place to stay and we all just wanted to stay there the rest of the trip. It was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 2 kitchens, etc. I didn't get to take any pictures, but hopefully we can stay there again next time we go to Vegas.

Then we got ready and headed out to go see Phantom of the Opera. Me, Curt, and Kailey had already seen it once, but we were more than willing to go see it again. It was really fun seeing it with Curt's parents who hadn't seen it before. The show was just as good as the first time. If you haven't seen it yet, put it on your to do list.


The next day we stopped in Zions and went on a really pretty hike to the emerald pools. I really enjoyed taking pictures there, everything was so beautiful. I took lots of pictures, but here are just a few.













We all had a lot of fun, and I was really glad Curt and I were able to go. We just wished the trip was longer and that Jake and Jen could have joined us.

Happy Birthday Curt!

Today is Curt's birthday and he is now 26! He is getting "old" but thankfully for me, he is getting better looking with age :). We ended up celebrating his birthday this past weekend, and I will be posting pictures soon. I love celebrating Curt's birthday! I look forward to it more than mine. It is the only time he let's me really spoil him. He is such an amazing husband and I am so glad I am the person he chose to spend forever with. I feel so lucky to be the one that gets to celebrate all of his future birthdays with him. Happy Birthday Lovey!

We Love Germany!

Germany was absolutely AMAZING!!! It was even better than I thought it was going to be. It was so fun to go there with Curt. I could seriously move there tomorrow. The food was incredible!!! I ate soooo much! I miss the food and am already looking forward to when I can go back and eat all my favorite things. I had no idea how beautiful it was there. The pictures don't show how pretty it really is. It is gorgeous there! I could have taken a million landscape pictures but I tried to refrain myself. I obviously took a ton of pictures. There is only about half of them in the slideshow below, and there are a lot. So if you really care about us, you will stay and watch the whole thing. :) I could go on and on about Germany and how much we both love it, but I won't. Everyone needs to go there! I promise you will love it too. :)

Happy Anniversary to Us!

4 years ago today I married the love of my life. Some times it feels like it was just yesterday, and then other times it feels like I have been with Curt my whole life. He makes me so happy and we have sooo much fun together. We feel very blessed to have each other and to have an amazing marriage. I am looking forward to all the many anniversaries we will get to celebrate. I love you Curt!

Breaking the Bank

Meet our piggy bank. When Curt was on his mission, a member gave him this piggy bank to save money in so he could go back to Germany. We had been saving and saving, and I couldn't believe the time had come.

We were finally able to break our piggy bank!

Why did we break it? Well, it didn't have one of those holes where you can just take out the money. I guess in Germany they don't make them like that. Plus Curt was really excited to have us break it and accomplish our goal. It was really fun!

Tomorrow we're leavin' on a jet plane! Auf Wiedersehen!

Cute Little Couple

When I went looking for the picture of Curt in his lederhosen (see the post below), I ended up finding these two cuties. I think these pictures say it all.

Happy Birthday JT!

Today is my little brother's birthday, and he is turning 6 years old! When did he all of the sudden grow up?! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. JT sure has added a little something to our family. He is so funny and extremely smart. He just got some pictures taken of him and the one below is one of my favorites. He is going to be quite the ladies man, especially since it is already starting at his school. :) Happy Birthday JT! Love you!
