Soldier Update

Dallin has been in Texas at officer training camp for almost 3 weeks now. It is really hot and he has long days, but he has really liked it for the most part. He has had a great experience from the military and feels like they teach good values. I am proud of him.
I am just roaming around Salt Lake, St. George, and Vegas.
I miss Dallin like crazy, but it has been fun to see so much family.
These pictures are from our father's day picnic/hike.











3 weeks until I head to Texas to pick Dallin up and bring him home.
Woohoo!

And then there was one

Dallin left for Texas on Friday afternoon. I only made a small scene at the airport. He will be gone for 6 weeks, which seems like a long time. Lucky for me, I have an awesome family and in-laws to keep me company until July 24th. Utah, here I come!

Cabo San Lucas

 We just got back from the most incredible trip we have ever been on. Our friend's dad has a gorgeous house in Cabo, so we spent 16 days there celebrating these guys being finished with their first year of medical school. We have the greatest friends ever... it was seriously so awesome. 

The house was on a hillside overlooking the ocean, and was in a gated community with a private beach. It had an awesome pool and hot tub, and we each got our own room and bathroom. There was a costco close by, so we cooked most of our meals at the house, which ended up being really cheap.


We spent a lot of time at the private beach... we were usually the only people there. The boys loved playing in the waves and skimboarding. We spent one day at the public beach, which was super busy. We ate mangos there and went for a ride on a water-weeny. My favorite beach was sunset beach... and we went twice! There are sea lions everywhere, cool rocks to climb and jump off of, and the waves are super calm. We went to church both Sundays we were there. We had the missionaries over for dinner one Sunday, and the other we had a member come with her two cute daughters. One day we drove to a waterfall. It was this pretty oasis of fresh water in the middle of a random desert... it was super cool. One of our friends is a surfer, so we spent one day at Zipper's beach and rented surf boards and paddleboards. It was so fun! We ate dinner that night at a cute grill on the beach. We spent a lot of time shopping and had fun bargaining with people at the flea market.

My 23rd birthday fell while we were there. I went on the most scenic run of my life in the morning, then Dallin took me on a moped ride through the city, then to a lunch overlooking the ocean. It was lovely, except I threw up suddenly and the only place I had to run was to the ocean because I didn't have time to find a bathroom. I am pretty sure I ruined a lot of people's romantic lunches... oops. We went to the beach later, then we had steak for my birthday dinner. My favorite! It is also the only thing that I have had a craving for at all since I have been pregnant... random. Anyways, we had the yummiest cake later and went to watch the sunset on the beach. Pretty ideal birthday.

I am usually pretty ready to come home when vacations are over, but we were really sad to leave. It was such a fun vacation with the greatest people. Until next time, Cabo.
