To late to post this....

But I don't care! :)

Here are some highlights from our New Years Mexico trip! It was a blast as always. These pics are in no certain order.

At the Pacifica!

La Golondrina

Mitch and I climbed up here...in bare feet! I paid for it later but it was worth it simply because...

...OF THIS VIEW

Sunset Beach

New years eve watching fireworks. "Utes are the best kissers"

And of course the famous arch

Oh how I miss these gorgeous sunrises...I want to paint this!

And the gorgeous sunsets

Mariachi bands at dinner every night

Chasing seagulls with the little girls

Sushi!

Us four went deep sea fishing

We didn't catch anything...but had this entertainment with the leftover bait!

Sea Lions jumping right on the edge of the boat

Pelicans close enough to touch

This is the view we had in the morning as we were going out to fish. All the fishing boats going out to fish into the sunrise

What a fun trip with everyone!

December happenings

1. My birthday

On my birthday morning I woke up to an edible arrangement and the beginning clue to a scavenger hunt.

The clue led me out to the parking lot to find this car in the parking lot. yes! (it was "rented" for the day from Mitch's friend. Thanks JR!


Throughout the day I followed all the clues and they all led to some fun activity. One of which was Fat Cats in Provo where I bowled 25 frames of bowling in honor of turning 25. We took the scenic route through the mountains for more fun drive time for me to enjoy driving the Porsche.


It was a great day and Mitch made it even better!



2. On Christmas we got to talk to Nathan who is on his mission in Florida.

3. We went to the Festival of Trees bid night and then later went back on the last night to introduce Jenn and Leo to it. They were hooked and will be back next year!


4. Mitch and I got ugly Christmas sweaters and were able to wear them to the family party! They were a hit!

5. Our Cabo trip!!!

A post with pictures coming soon!

I'm Ready to Go!

I think I am having a post-graduate crisis. A post-graduate crisis is when you fear the complacency and monotony of what is considered a normal adult life. I felt this after I graduated high school but leaving home for two years to serve an LDS mission in Brazil easily cured that and in fact might have made this one even worse. I have been graduated from the University of Utah for 19 months now and I have been craving another adventure like crazy. I have been desperately trying to plan a trip to get back to Brazil for either the World Cup or Olympics. It is very far away and still unlikely. I am still looking for something adventurous to satisfy my craving.

We are fortunate every year to go to Cabo San Lucas and escape to the Mexican Pacific. This is by far one of the greatest places to visit in the world. The best part is, even if you go there on a cruise you can't even take in all the amazing things about that place. This year more than any other year I think I am ready to go on a adventure to Mexico. My favorite part about Mexico now is getting to take my amazing wife Tiffany with me every year and show her a good time and all the secrets behind this amazing place. I think the most exciting thing about being married to Tiffany is that I know whatever crazy adventure I can imagine up for us to do, she is always there to either talk some sense in to me or jump on board with me. Let's go! Because we are always ready to go!

Christmas Countdown

See you in 2 years Nathan!

Recently we went to Las Vegas to see Nathan one last time before he went to the MTC. It was good to spend time with the family, especially Nathan.

I am so proud of him! He has been in the MTC about a week now and in a couple weeks he will be going to Tallahassee, Florida for 2 years to serve. My little brother has grown up so fast!

Mitch and I didn't carve pumpkins last year, so Nathan, Mitch, and I carved pumpkins!

Mitch's, Mine, and Nathan's

We got to see Nathan get set apart as a missionary while we were there. This of course was a spiritual and tear-jerking experience.

He looks like a great missionary, doesn't he?

Here's to Nathan and the next two years!
