Mexico...

So, Zach and I went on a trip to Mexico. He surfed the first part and the last part we did what I wanted to do. It was nice to get away and relax. Here are a few pics of the sunsets in Mexico.




On the last couple of days, I chose to do the canopy zip-line tour. It was really awesome. We zip-lined from mountain to mountain while crossing over the river. It was really beautiful and fun. The people working the zip-line were a bunch of young hispanic guys and everytime I landed they would always say, "Good job Princess." It made me laugh.













After the canopy tour, we went to their "Animal House." They only had a few animals but it was still fun. The first three pics is of squirrel monkeys. Then Zach with a Boa. I forgot the name of the animal in the last pic. It had the face of an opossum and the body of a racoon. It was weird looking. That is the only animal that I did not hold. Then there were some more monkeys (we didnt get a pic of them). They were little and black with white hair coming out of their ears. They bit Zach and I though because we wouldnt give them the carrot. They did not want to share the carrot, they wanted it all the themselves. HeHe!





When we slept in the hammocks, at night there would be dozens of these crabs that would come to the beach, lay their eggs, and then go back to the beach. When we woke up in the morning, there were so many crab tracks in the sand. They crawled right under our hammocks. Good thing they cant climb. :) Some crabs were still up on the beach where we were in the morning. There was one crab that got into our friend's board bag.





We went to this place where the boys surfed and there was this family who had a little palapa on the beach and this was their goat. He was one month old. How cute is he?....I called him Goatie. He had little horns on his head and he loved for you to scratch them.





So this is our sleeping quarters for the first 5 nights. Yes, we slept in hammocks. It was actually really comfortable. The wind from off the ocean kept us cool. It rained every night there, but we stayed dry because we were under that palapa. There was one really bad storm where the wind was blowing the rain on us, so we went into our tent for a few hours and then got right back in the hammocks. :) We slept in hammocks to save money. It was only $3 a day. :) The last couple of nights we slept in a hotel.






At the hotel we stayed at the last couple of days made this elephant out of our towels. I thought that was pretty clever!!



Here are some pics taken from the beach!! The first pics is when we were driving.






House SOLD....

Well, our house finally sold. It was on the market for almor 4 weeks. I cant believe how fast it got sold. I am going to miss this house because I was able to decorate it the way I wanted it. But, I will not miss the outrageous house note. :) If you are wondering where we will be living, we are going to be moving in with my parents for a couple of months and then into his uncles house.

Things have been so hecktic here with packing and moving, school, and work. It almost feels like we didnt go on vacation because since we have been back we have been so busy.

For school, I am taking 2 online classes and 2 regular classes. I dont think any of my classes will be too hard, but the online classes will be time consuming. More to come later....

Here is our beautiful house that we just sold. :(

Moving?...

Hello everyone! Well, alot has happend in the past couple of days. Zach and I signed the papers Thurs. to have our house put up for sale and by Sat. we already had a couple looking at the house. We dont know if they want it yet or not. If they do, then things will start moving fast and be really hecktic because school starts back up for me in at the end of August. We will see what happens.
Zach and I went to the temple yesterday. It was a really good session. We try to make it a point to go at least once a month. We love to go.
Yesterday we went to my nephew's b-day party. He turned 3 yrs. old. He's so cute. It is always a good time when we get together with our families.
As far as my job goes. I am taking CEU hours so I can renew my license. I am learning alot of different stretches and other modalities. The more I know, the better I can be at my job.
Thats all for now. I will try to keep everyone updated on the house situation.
Love you all.

A little about us...












So just to give you all an update on what is going on with Zach and I.....First off Zach and I have been married for over a year and a half. It will be 2 years in Sept. YAY! We are going to Mexico in August for an early anniversary present. While we are there we hope to do many things. One thing I am really excited about is the zip-line from mountain to mountain. We have a dog named Dillinger. He is the best dog I have ever had. He is a Red Heeler and he is about 6 yr. old. He does not play with toys, but he loves to go for walks and pee on everything he sees even if he is all out of pee, he still lifts his leg anyway. It is so funny. He loves to go to the deer lease with us and run beside the 4-wheelers. He is out of shape right now so sometimes we will load him up on the back of the 4-wheeler.
Zach has a new job. He is still a sales rep. but for a different company. He loves his new job because his phone is not ringing off the hook like his last job. This company is very laid back. He has been working hard on the east side of Houston (the industrial side). Besides his job, he loves to surf as we all know. He went on a trip to Nicaragua in May with his brother. They had a good time.
I am working right now waiting for school to start in August. I cant wait to be done with school. I have about 2 years left. Besides school and work, I love to go to the beach with Zach and film him while he surfs. I love to play volleyball. I love to ride 4-wheeler and my newest hobby is hunting. Last year Zach and I got on a deer lease and we love to hunt. We did not shoot anything last year, but we will this year. Last year we had a chance to shoot a doe, but we let her go. It is so awesome to be sitting in a deer blind at 5:15 in the morning and see the sun come up and the birds start to come out. It is cold sometimes, but just to see the animals come out in the morning is a really neat experience. Another hobby that Zach and I love to do together is play tennis. We went to academy and bought tennis rackets and balls. We play at our neighborhood's tennis courts. We love to play even though we both are not very good at it. HeHe.
Zach and I bought our first house on Oct. 1 of last year. We havent been in this house for a year and we are about to put it up on the market. It is a really nice 2 story, 2400 sq. foot house but the house note is outrageous and the HOA wont let us keep our low-boy trailer (to haul our 4-wheelers) in the driveway. Plus, they wont let Zach have his big mudding truck in the driveway either. There are so many restictions that we dont like. We are looking at his uncles house which sits on about 6 acres. We will see what happens though.
