An update on our lives





So in the past six months not much has gone on. We Honeymooned in San Francisco where it rained the entire time, the cable cars broke down and we walked miles everyday, but it was a blast. It was actually so much fun we are going again in a few weeks. We are hoping for no rain this time though and we already have everything mapped out that we want to do.







Back in May we went to Newport and Laguna with my Family and most of the Hendrix Family. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone and spending time with them. We really enjoyed swimming with the boys and hot tubbing with everyone at the Super 8. Poor Kaden was sick the entire time though and didnt enjoy himself like me and Sarah did. We loved getting our nails done while Kaden was napping and dragging him around shopping to all the cute little boutiques. We found some amazing deals down there. I got a pair of sanadl that are now my favorites for ten bucks and super cute dress that ended up being to big for seventeen. Its nice being the smallest in the family though, i just sold the dress to Sarah. We also did some fun shopping at the South Coast Plaza ha and this is when Kaden dressed up for us. I dont know what got into him but little Katie has decided he is always in a better mood when he has his yellow pants on. Other high lights of the trip were crab hunting in Laguna at the tide pools, watching kaden out shoot my dad on an overpriced game at knotts berryfarm, riding the rollercoasters at knott's, seeing camille, and watching Justice pet the lobsters at Red Lobster.









Our last trip was to Fish Lake with the Kaden's family and the Alger side. I had a blast. We took my little sister Katie with us and she had fun as well. Kaden was a little grumpy most of the weekend because we took Tiffany too and dogs were not allowed to stay in our lovely "Rustic Cabin." That was a little stressful but we never got caught. We took a boat up with us though that didn't work and I think that is what ruined most of Kadens weekend along with the rain that we got. Overall though we caught enough fish to fill our freezer and Katie and I didn't even need Kadens help baiting our worms. Unfortunatley we didn't get to take any pictures because we forgot our camera.

Besides our few trips we have not done much. We traveled to Provo one weekend and stayed a night in Vegas at the Palazo one weekend but besides that we just hang out. We have had a few movie marathons right now we are in middle of watching all the pirates movies but we lost the second one so its on hold until we find it. We go out to dinner quite a bit. Our favorite new restaruant is Samuri 21 in Mesquite. Kaden has a fun time there laughing at the chefts and their ridiculous jokes. We are avid book hunters now. Its become probably our best shared hobby at the moment. Kaden loves old church books and I love almost all books so we have started searching old book stores for good finds. We have found some amazing books so far. Just a couple weeks ago we found a store that has first edition Whitman, Blake, and Dickinson and they are all signed. I was in love. But i dont make enough to buy a book like that. They were almost 40,000 a peice. They also had an original pamphlet of common sense and not the new Glen Beck one, the actual Thomas Paine one. When we aren't doing some of these things together we are usually working. Both of us are working full time. Kaden is for Wheeler Electric and I am a Supervisor for the pools at the Casa Blanca. School starts again in a few weeks though. I am very excited. It has been nice having the summer off but i am definitily ready to go back.

To Blog or Not To Blog

It has been awhile now since Kaden and I were married and when we were first married i was very opposed to placing our life online. That was until i somehow became obsessed with updating my status on facebook (thanks to my oh so exciting job.) So i have now decided to join the blogging club even though our lives aren't all that interesting I am sure i can find plenty of things to talk about. Today is the first time i have had time to sit down and actually write a post since i decided to start up or blog a few weeks ago. Kaden is out of town, hunting of course, and i finally have the day off.
