Wow it's been a really really really long time!

It has been a really, really long time since I posted!

I don't have any excuses except that Life has been busy!!

I have many many things to be happy about....

I completed my bootcamp at the gym and lost 10lbs and 14 inches in 2 weeks...yay go me!

I celebrated my 34th birthday and was Baptized 4 days later.

Such an emotional week!!

I spent a week in Monterey at a Science Institute. I had a blast whale watching, taking a transect survey at the Tide Pools, disecting fish, and more!

My coworker and friend Gorett was my roommate.

The kids loved this tank.

Wayne brought the kids up on the last day and we met up at the aquarium. It was Michael's and Kara's 2nd time time there (well Michael was only 12 days old the first time) and their first time visiting the ocean.

Kara had been to the ocean before but doesn't remember it at all.
