JUNE 26, 2008

(I started writing this on JUNE 26) Today it has been exactly one year since we have been married. In other words, today is our 1 year anniversary. The morning started out with Jason sneaking out of the house and coming back with roses! I then made him a delicious breakfast, and we watched the simpsons. (hehe) We went to the store to buy me a book for school and then went to Lehi to get some food.
For those of you who don't know, Jason served his mission in California. He has been talking about this place called el pollo loco, and how amazing it was, for as long as I can remember. Conveniently an El Pollo Loco opened in Lehi TODAY! We drove up there and went inside... Not such a good idea! There were people everywhere inside! There was not an open seat and there were people standing around just waiting. The line was to the door (the farthest door) and people waiting in another for the food to be ready. We waited about 20 minutes in the line to order our food. We were fine waiting. We ordered our food and waited. People behind us in line went through and about twenty minutes later (at the most) they had their food and we were still waiting. We waited and waited. 45 minutes later our food was finally ready! Jason and I were so upset. Not because we had to wait, we would have been fine if everyone had to wait as long as we did, but people who ordered after us got their food before us. It was really upsetting! The food was amazing! We will go back, but not for at least a month. We have learned our lesson, when we go back, we will go through the drive-thru.
We went home pulled the top of our cake out of the freezer and watched the NBA draft.

Graduation & memories

The past week has filled my mind with a ton of memories. Janna graduated from high school and I was filled with memories of my own graduation. The actual graduation, the senior all night party, the friends and family. During my senior year in high school I was working at the Brick Oven, saving all of the money I earned so that we (my sisters, my mom, and I) could afford to go to South Africa to pick up Tanner (my brother) from his mission. I remember not being able to tell my siblings that we would be going, and I remember finally breaking the wonderful news to them on Christmas morning. I remember the Eiffel tower, the Metro, the Louvre, and Kate and I spending the night in Paris while Janna, Penny, and my mom flew to South Africa. I remember all of the houses in South Africa (each about the size of a shed), the many faces of people Tanner taught, and the game park. I remember going to London with Tanner, Janna, Kate, Penny, and my mom; The London Bridge, the Tower of London, Buckingham palace, Big Ben, and the Underground. I remember thinking about how amazing it was to have been to those places, I had spent a lot of time in the past dreaming of going to those places. Reading books about them and when we actually went I realized that no matter how good those books were, words simply could not describe the feeling of being there. I completely agree with the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words," but even then, I don't think any words can really describe the memories of something. Which brings me to another memory that came to me last week. At the end of April last year Janna and I had gotten to go to Hawaii. It was amazing, and since I can't think of any better words than amazing right now I will post some pictures of that memory.


This was at the end of an amazing hike. This is Janna and Keli'i about to jump into the pool.
