CALIFORNIA

This is a few weeks overdue but oh well. Better late than never right? Well we had a BLAST in California... Joe loved Disneyland :) he told me the other day randomly... "Disneyland was so magical." Tehe. Space Mountain was our favorite! The Tower of Terror at California Adventure I LOVE. But Joe very much did not. Haha.
Then we went to the beach. It was so nice! Not too crowded, kind of cold and windy, but not too bad. The water was nice once you got in.
Knott's Berry Farm was fun, but after being at Disneyland, it looked like the biggest trashland ever. There was junk everywhere. In the line for a ride, if you looked down in between the bushes and the railing, you could barely see the ground it was so littered with crap. It was nasty. But the rides were fun. Joe didn't like the dropping rides... he wasn't fond of the sick feeling you get in your stomach. He even blacked out for a second on the Silver Bullet haha. I even almost did on the Excelerator... it shot up and back down so fast I saw a tunnel. But it was fun! I love roller coasters. I just wish we would have gone to Knott's first, before Disneyland. It wasn't as fun because we just wanted to go back to Disneyland.
Here are some pictures. Mostly from Disneyland, and some from the beach.

On the Dumbo ride! Hehe.Trying to pull the sword out of the stone... Joe's favorite movie!The beach! <3

July already?

I wish I was better at writting on here. A lot has happened. Well, a lot is happening now. Summers are crazy, especially if you are a part of my family. Just to catch up... we moved out of apartment #4 into #1, which is SO much bigger... both the living room and the kitchen are bigger seperately than the whole living room/kitchen area in #4. And there's an extra bedroom for all our necessary crap... and maybe for another person eventually. Unless we move before that happens. But anyway, Joe's sister Summer and her hubby Joseph and baby Shane moved into #4 a couple months ago after we moved over into #1. It's been really fun hanging out with them. That Shane is just the most adorable thing. He's 9 months now I think... he's getting so big. I love him!
Also, my hair is blonde now. For REAL blonde. Summer did it for me a couple months ago... At first it was a really crazy change and I wasn't sure about it... but I'm used to it now and I like it. It's started to grow out... I've got to do something with it soon because it's going to start looking really bad because my hair is so dark naturally.
I got a job... well I started in... february I think. At my uncle Tracy Montierth's optometry office in Safford. The office attached to our apartment building. It's pretty nice cuz I just walk down the stairs and I'm there basically. It's boring though. I'm not really a desk-job person... But it's a job and I get money.
Tomorrow is July, and in July iiiiiis.... DISNEYLAND!!! I'm so so so excited! Joe has never been and we're gonna have FUN! We're also going to Knott's Berry Farm! I love that place. Joe's never been there either. He's never been anywhere. Also in July is a family reunion. I'm excited :) I'm excited I'm excited. July is gonna be awesome.
I think I covered most of what's happened lately. Oh yeah... we got turtles. Summer and Joseph and me and Joe. They named their's Venus de Milo, the girl ninja turtle, so we named ours Leonardo. Then I found out that Venus and Leo are like, lover ninja turtles. Bahaha. But their turtle kept getting out of the tub thing and got lost. They still havn't found it. It's probably rotting somewhere in their apartment... or walked off the balcony... Our turtle died yesterday :( I don't know what happened. I had just bought a new pan thing for water because the one in there got a hole in it somehow so the water just drained out into the dirt so it couldn't swim. I put the new one filled with water in the tub and put the turtle in it and he just floated.... it was so sad! Poor Leo. Oh also, Joe got promoted at Home Depot! (FINALLY!) Hooray :)

My blonde hair...Then I cut my bangs.

Dead Leo before he was dead...

Renaissance Festival

Yesterday Joe and I went to the Renaissance Festival! My legs and feets are sore from walking around so much. But it was really fun. Here are some pictures.

Joe was extremely excited, despite the look on his face.

Look at my cute husband. I lub him. Teehee.

Joe callenging a knight.

This magician guy was awesome. He just stood on that ball and did some really cool magic tricks. I liked his beak mask.

The turkey leg. Mmmmm....

That was our knight in the jousting tournament. The good guy. I wish I got a picture of his face... he was adorable. He looked like Martin Short. Haha.

The fairy. She was so cute!

This "funeral cart" rode by... they were playing music. It was awesome haha.

This little goat at the petting zoo was just staring at me so I took a picture. He's so cute!

These were our souvenir renaissance mugs. Cuz we have to get a mug everywhere we go. Isn't that the coolest mug ever? Joe thought it was boring so he got this giant one with the dragon and knight on it...

Twenty-Three

Last thursday (Jan 20th) was Joe's 23rd birthday. We had a little party at my parents' house.

His lemon cupcakes with lemon frosting.

Opening up his motorcycle cover.

His new UofA hat I found at Dollar General for 7 bucks.

TIKI!

My conversation with subconscious Joe last night.

Joe: OH!!
Me: What??
Joe: Mmmmm....
Me: What?
Joe: Tiki. (I thought he said Stinky cuz he kind of mumbled it.)
Me: What? Stinky?
Joe: Nooo... TIKI.
Me: Tiki?
Joe: Mmmm-hmmm.
Me: Where?

Then he started pointing to the wall. Guess I'll never know.

Cuddly Joe

Funny things happened the last couple nights. I havn't heard from subconcious Joe in a while so this was suprising and pretty hilarious. First one, two nights ago, he said: "There were hands that were ducks." Not sure what that was about. but the next one was way better! Last night, he rolled over to the edge of the bed, stuck his bottom out, mumbled something unintelligible, and farted LOUD. Then he said, "Yep." I was holding my breath so I wouldn't wake him up from laughing so hard! Then he grabbed the blanket, pulld it up around his head and cuddled with it. It was very cute... hehe.

Blonde

I've been fighting the internal battle over whether dying my hair blonde is a good thing to do or not for quite some time. The insane side finally won two days ago and this is what came of it.
It's more red than I wanted it to be. But other than that I like it. That and the fact that there's some spots that kind of got missed. Joe's the one that helped me do it and that was possibly a mistake... but I didn't want to tell my family until I visited them, so I didn't want my mom or my sister to help me do it. And I've never done it myself before so I needed help. He did a pretty good job though, the reason there's missed places is because we ran out of dye. But I'll need to dye it again in not too long because my roots are gonna start coming in and then it'll look horrible... so I'm not that worried about it. I'll just get two boxes next time I guess. I just wish it wasn't so red. That will probably fade though, red always fades really fast. I was also really scared that it wasn't gonna look good on me. But I like it. I'll always love my dark hair the best... but I like to try different things. You think it looks good? I might try it lighter sometime... it's not that light. It's more light reddish brown than blonde... Also I sometime want to try dying the under bottom half of my hair darker. Maybe. I've gotta try everything! It's really weird cuz I used to be so scared of dying my hair... now I love it! I love trying different things.
