UPDATE!

Sorry to all for the delay in an update. I have not come across the adapter to the camera that allows me to download pictures from the camera! So sorry no pictures yet!

We are settling in our new home! I am pretty much out of boxes, yeah! My family helped us move out here, thank goodness. Our caravan of vehicles took us about 16-17 hours (which we did in two days) to get here to Topeka, and then another 5 hours to unload!

We took a day to chill, and then we went up to Nauvoo, which was another 5 hours, but we had a great time, touring, and attending the temple (BEAUTIFUL!)

We spent a day in Kansas City shopping!

And the sad day came, when the family had to leave, the saddest part about it was Brilee bawling as she watched them all drive away in the car! Not fun at all!!

So anyways, Brilee and I are getting ourselves familiar with Topeka. The people are great! The library is fabulous, Brilee could stay there all day!

There is a group out her called the JRC (Jay Reuban Clarke Society) which is a group for LDS law students and their families. Without them I would have gone crazy, I have made some great friends. The Wives get together for playgroup, and girls night, so that has been good!

Where we live it is very walker/runner friendly, and everyone exercises out here, it's great! So I am trying to keep up with the running, but it's not working out that great, I think I rather just go walking! I like to take Brilee out in the mornings, we went up to a nice neighborhood above where we live and they acutally have decent hills! I am actually kind of sore from going up and down them.

Anyways, that is an update about what's happening, and I will work on finding the adapter so I can post some pictures!!

Key Largo

Our last night on vacation our waitress was kind enough

to take our picture on the dock. They had the best key

lime pie I have ever tasted!

This is a huge moth, and I mean huge! It was on our

snorkeling boat, and as I got done taking it's picture

it decided to fly and land directly on my head!

We stayed a day after the cruise in Miami, so we rented a car and drove down to the first key, which is Key Largo. We had a great time snorkeling seeing all sorts of fish, and a reef shark, and tons of little annoying jelly fish.

Nassau, Bahamas

Our last stop on the cruise was Nassau, which is the capital of  the Bahamas. They have one of the largest hotel/resorts called Paradise Island. We were able to go interact with dolphins, and see the huge aquarium.

Coco Cay

Our first stop on the cruise was coco cay a little island in the bahamas, the water was nice and warm, the food was good, and it was fun just to relax.

Happy Vacation/Anniversary!

So we got talked into going on a tour of Miami's bay, and

you get to see all these famous peoples mansion, the silly things

we do! There was so many of them I could only remember this house

when I was looking through the picture, it is Jackie Chans house!

We did have a good time cruisin the bay in the

evening breeze!

So we have been able to earn a few point by using our credit card, and we decided to take one last big trip before we are stuck in law school for a few years, and since our 4th wedding anniversary is coming up in August, we thought we would take a little trip to Miami and the Bahamas, just the two of us! We had a blast, and only missed Brilee the last couple days. We were able to stay in Miami a couple days before our three night cruise that took us to Coco Cay, and Nassau. I recommend a cruise to everybody, just plan on gaining a few pounds!

Yea for Stacie!!!

All the girlfriends striking a pose, Stacie looked

gorgeous in her dress!
All the tracksters!

My awesome Friend Stacie just got married this month, it was such a wonderful day, and so fun to be with all my good friends. Stacie got married in the Draper temple, and then had a wonderful dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial in Salt Lake. It was good to see everyone again.

The Fourth of July!

Brilee's first experience with a sparkler, she 

really enjoyed it.
Our sweet neighbor Marilyn, and my Mom.
The GIRLS!!!
Cute little cousins, aren't they cute!

It's true everyone really celebrates the fourth of July because it's my birthday! I can't believe one more year has come and gone, I am the big 25 this year. I love having my birthday on the fourth there is always so much to do. We were able to go to the parade in North Ogden, I went shopping with my sisters, and had a wonderful dinner with my husband, and little girl, and then to top off the night We had family over for cake and ice cream, and had our own firework show, It was a blast!!

Camping in the Rain!

Andrea, Brilee, and Grandma on our little hike, 

which was short lived, due to the nasty mosquitos.

Don't we look rested from a good night of good

old camping!
She is just so cute!!!

We were able to go camping with my family on July 2nd up on Monte Cristo. Despite all the rain during the evening, and the mosquitos all day and night we had a good time. We had a yummy dutch of dinner with cobbler, yummy!

Totally Insane!

YEA! The finish line we all got to run in with 

our last girl.
Me and Cristina!
Ashley and Stacie in our cute shirts!
All of us before the race posing in our hot outfits, one

of the girls made us sparkly skirts to wear over our spandex!

If you ever want to do something where you are up for 24 hours straight, being smashed into a van full of sweaty girls, and running from Logan to Park City then you should do the Ragnar Relay. It's a race made up of teams of 12 people and you each run 3 different legs and you make the trek from Logan to Park City which is 188 miles! It was a ton of fun to get together with all the former Weber State runners, in my van we had two of the girls pumping, and one girl that is 4 1/2 months pregnant, and with all our girls we probably have like 20-25 kids between us, so I think we did pretty good! We called our team the Blaisdell Beauties in honor of our coach who put up with all of us. It was a blast except that I am so stinkin sore! We also were the first women's team so that was pretty sweet!

It's Official We are moving to.......

This is our townhouse we will be renting for at least the next

13 months.
This is in Kansas City in front of a cool fountain, they had

a really nice upscale outdoor mall.
This is a picture of Kansas City Skyline.
This is by Topeka Kansas it was actually a lot prettier

then I thought it was going to be. They have lots of bodies of water

lots of trees, and tons of parks, so that will be nice!

Topeka Kansas. Brian will be attending Washburn University Law School. We are pretty excited. We made a trip back there a few weeks ago, and checked everything out, and we even have a townhouse ready for us when we get there. We will be leaving the first week in August!!
