Rewind<<<<

Ok so after many threats, here is my update, finally.....Where to start? Jordan and I finally got married on June 14th and honeymooned in Bora Bora (its in the south Pacific-by Fiji, Australia...) What an incredible place, these pictures don't even do it justice. We had an amazing trip, incredible diving (HUGE barracudas, eels, lots of sharks (grey tip & lemon) and lots of sun and relaxation. We stayed in an over water bungalow that has a balcony that looks over the ocean, part of your floor is glass so you can see the marine life swim from your own room, and your balcony has steps right down to the water to snorkel from your deck. I could go on and on about the wedding and honeymoon, but if your like me, long posts get boring-so Ill keep it short and sweet and let the pics do the talking. We moved to Los Angeles a couple weeks later so I could go to University of Southern California for nurse anesthesia. I had about 4 weeks before I started school to get settled and play. We had a couple visitors and I spent my days shopping, reading at the beach, and discovering SoCal with Monroe. I started school and it has been game on from day 1. My typical day goes something like this. Get up at 6, sit in traffic for 1 hour to go 20 miles, school from 8-2, pull my hair out, study from 3-10, bang head against wall, pass out and then do it all over again. I just keep telling myself in 2 years it will all be worth it. So far LA has been great. (don't tell my mom I said that-it induces tears) Weather is amazing, endless things to do, and DELICIOUS food. Although I have missed Cafe Rio lately. We went to our first movie premier which was interesting, basically all you have to do to fit in in Hollywood is wear black and do some drugs (that was our take at the premier). We have been shopping on Rodeo, watched movies in the Hollywood cemetery, ate our first cupcake at Sprinkles ($4 a whack and a 30 min. wait-but delicious!), Dodgers games, beach volleyball, festivals, outdoor concerts in the middle of downtown and much more... Jordan is doing well, he is adjusting to his new job. For those of you that didn't know, he was able to transfer within the company, and now helps oversee 15 different retirement communities in SoCal. He works as long as I study so it has worked out nicely.

Bora Bora. Picture says it all...(bow chi cha bow wow;)

Our second group of visitors-momma dub, Heather and Angel. We had too much fun...The first night our goal-"blow our wad" and were so sick the next day, we were miserable at the beach, and barely recovered for this day of shopping in Beverly Hills. Armatures...

Monroe at a Malibu beach, she loves it. She gets all sandy and then rubs her face in the sand thinking it will come off...I think she finally realizes that beach=bath time (she hates the later)

Saying goodbye was harder then I thought. I cried all the way to Fillmore...

Golfing in Bear Lake a couple of weeks before moving. We had a reception up there after the honeymoon. (that's where Jordan's from)

Boating on Bear Lake with Monroe AKA- Stinky, Stinks, Monroeski. I don't know what I would do without this dog. If you don't like dogs, I guarantee you would if you met her-just ask my mom. She didn't even like or pet our dogs growing up, Monroe now sleeps on her bed when visiting.

So welcome to Bora Bora...These are the little bungalows we stayed in. I would flip burgers if I could wake up to this every morning.

Soaking in the sun from our private balcony. Tahiti is a french colony so the language barrier was sometimes challenging, but many spoke English. Along with the french colony came topless women. I gave it a whirl per Jordan's request and to indulge myself in the culture, it was short lived. Way too uncomfortable. There's just something about the wind blowing on your "cookies" that's doesn't feel right.

We rented a scooter this day and strapped our snorkel gear to our backs and spent the day exploring the island.

This is the only wedding pic I have in my possession, still waiting for my book. Sorry...
