Oh how I miss this boy...what a beautiful sight :)

Zions National Park

My friend Jason invited me to go to Zions National park with a bunch of people this weekend. We were supposed to hike Buckskin Gulch on the Arizona/utah border..but the weather made us change our plans.. You don't want to be caught in the canyon with the chance of flash flooding. We ended up camping in Zions and then hiking Observation Point which was also in the park...4 miles up, and 4 miles back.. Wow... Worth it though!

A little taste of Heaven...

California was so much fun! John has been a few times, so he was able to navigate all around showing me all the hot spots! We stayed in Santa Monica/LA with a friend, and was literally minutes from the beach.
The first day we got there we hit up Venice Beach.. A-maz-ing!!! I think I seriously could live on the beach all day, everyday! Then we went to the Boardwalk on Venice beach and were trying to score some sweet deals... talk about all kinds of people!!! Wow... is all I can say. I was then able to see around Beverly Hills, Hollywood, LA...
Friday we went to Six Flags which was a lot of fun! A lot of pretty intense rides, and not that long of a wait :) And saturday I literally found where I am going to move one day.. We went down to Orange County and saw Downtown Disney, Laguna Beach, and Huntington Beach... John's best friend got a group together and we then went to Huntington Beach and had a bonfire... John and I were able to fulfill the saying "long walks on the beach" ;)... we might have gotten a little lost along the way.. jk. The trip was pretty much amazing!!!

CALIFORNIA!!!

This is just a SMALL preview of what is to come.. I don't usually do previews to future posts.. but quite frankly, this is a must do! John is taking me to California for my first time ever this week, and boy, it's going to be an awesome vacation!!!! Were going to the beach, LA area, Santa Monica Pier, BEACH, Six Flags, BEACH BEACH BEACH!!! Don't be jealous Mom :)

We are staying in LA for 4 days...I always wanted to bike down these paths along side the beach... so we are going to either bike/rollerblade down on the boardwalk on Venice Beach... I think this is as close to Heaven as I am going to get...

Don't be Jealous....

One of the best feelings in the world is getting flowers delievered to you at work... One surprise that I have always loved.. John sent me these beautiful roses to my job, and I absolutely loved them :)

He must have been feeling guilty for something, because then I got these yesterday on my bed... Just waiting for me... He knows my favorite flowers are star lilies. Aren't they so pretty!!!
