update, Update, UPDATE!

I have neglected my blog long enough. It is time for an UPDATE! Lots of stuff, so I will try to condense it a bit!

1. ROXY
Since I last posted, our pup has grown up quite a bit and she sure has made life more interesting around here. She is still pretty small, about 10 pounds. Her fur is also turning brown... it is totally weird. She looks browner every day, but her head is still pretty black. I just hope she doesn't have a brown body and a black head... that would be hideous... seriously!
I am proud to say that she has not had an accident in the house in about a month (knock on wood) :)!! She is a super smart little pup too. About a month ago, we, well mostly I, taught her how to sit, lay, and shake. She also finally learned how to walk on a lease. I don't know why it was so difficult for her, but she refused until she saw my parents dog walking on a lease. I guess she just suddenly realized it was the cool thing to do! Thanks Cooper!

Roxy loves play time with Cooper and loves to bite him. When we were gone to Phoenix for our anniversary, my brother was generous enough to watch Roxy. When we came home and picked her up, my parents' dog was SOOOO sad. He cried like I have never seen him cry before. He put his tail between his legs and looked pathetic. Ever since then, if I ever go over to my parents' without Roxy, Cooper is totally sad and follows me around like I am going to pull her out of my pocket. My mom also says that Cooper spends most of his days sitting by the window looking out hoping that someone will bring Roxy by to play.

2. BYE-BYE RED-G... HELLO WHITE JEEP!
After much, I mean MUCH, searching Rob finally found a new jeep that he liked. Rob decided to play it safe and get the same vehicle, but newer '98 with less miles. His Red Jeep was just getting TOO old. It had something like 230,000 miles on it, so it was time to UPDATE! We got a really good deal on the jeep and it was already lifted and had big tires, which is just what Rob wanted! Rob was getting really sad about selling Red-G, but it just happened that Justin decided to buy it off him, which made the sale super easy! Justin decided to buy it to drive to UA so he wouldn't put so many miles on his mustang! I thought it was genesis considering how many miles I put on my car since starting college. Rob is OBSESSED with his jeep to say the least. I think he love it more than me sometimes... ha!

(Sorry this is the one picture that I have with the White Jeep KINDA in it)

3. CALIFORNIA
I LOVE San Diego! I would be perfectly content living there for the rest of my life... that is if I had a bazillion dollars. Until then, vacationing there is PERFECT! Growing up my family was often found vacationing in San Diego right before the summer ended, but we have not gone for the last couple of years. This was the first time we have gone as a family since Rob and I have been married and it was SO fun! We tried out a new place this summer, Oceanside, and it was great! We had lots of fun enjoying the beach, boogie-boarding (which was especially AWESOME this summer thanks the the great waves), riding cool bikes, going to the temple, shopping, and spending our last week of stress-free summer with the family + Nathan! THANKS Mom and Dad for making this trip possible! We will always remember the memories that we have made together!

4. SCHOOL
School is back in session! Rob and I are back into a routine, which is nice, but school work is never that exciting! FINALLY I am a senior and I don't feel quite like I thought I would. I am excited, but I am little sad too (NEVER thought that I would say that). I love school, regardless of my complaining and it is such a big part of my life... I will feel lost without it! So far both Rob and I are enjoying our classes, so hopefully all goes well with that!

5. BIRTHDAYS!
As many of you know September, actually the first week in September, is birthday week in our house!! Mine was on Tuesday and Rob's is on Saturday!! Rob is turning the big 2-5!! We are excited about the lower insurance and cheap rental cars (since we ALWAYS need one.. not)! Rob took me out for my birthday last weekend. We went to Blanco (YUM), shopping, and to the gaslight! It was a fun night! On my actual birthday, I went shopping and out to eat... two of my favorite things! This weekend will be filled with fun events in celebration of Rob's birthday, so stay tuned for that!



This turned out to be super long... I tired to cut stuff out the best I could. If you read all the way to the end I hope you enjoyed!
