Washington





So, I decided I have a pretty good life. I get to go to so many new places all of the time. For the last few years anyway. The last few weeks I have really appreciated the "vacations" I get to take. I have come to the conclusion that I don't take enough pictures and I don't soak up every moment. I want to become more "touristy" when I visit all of these wonderful places, because for all I know I may never get to go back. So this weekend we went to Spokane, Washington. Rylan was entered in a PBR there. He did awesome. The crowd went crazy when he rode, and the judges thought he did well too! So that was neat....But I was quite disappointed in the people there. Whenever I would ask somebody about Forks, they looked at me like I was crazy. Then I would tell them, "You know, in the book Twilight" nobody knew what I was talking about.
I wish I had taken some more pictures. Especially of the trees, they were just like the ones in the movie (You are thinking, duh! Lana the movie was made in Washington!) But it was really cool because those big trees are EVERYWHERE!! It took me back to the moment when Edward and Bella are standing up in the very top of the tree. (I am not obsessed... ok, just a little) Anyways, back to the trip...All-in-all it was fun. It was cold, but it is always interesting to see new places. Here are some random pictures I took. Please excuse the no-make-up or hair thing, I like to travel comfy. Oh yeah.. Next stop El Paso, Texas.

New Orleans/Biloxi






I had the oppurtunity to go on a well deserved vacation. It was much needed. It was a really great trip. The temperatures were in the high seventies, I won $375 gambling, (an addiction I will never get over)we went to a CBR in Biloxi that Rylan was entered in, which was so much fun, and UTAH won! It was so much fun telling people we were from Utah, because they were mostly Alabama fans. We went to the beach, which I could live at forever, and we stayed at one of the nicest places I have ever been in my life. It was only four days, but it was the funnest four days I have had in a really long time!
