So bad...

I just realized how bad i am at posting things....mostly because i don't have that interesting of a life that people would want to read about :)

But just to update on how things are going....they are GREAT!! Hector and I are so happy and In Love, we will be moving into our house together hopefully next week!! We are so excited to start this new adventure together! All of the rooms have been re-decorated (thanks to my sis-n-law Gretchen) and as of next Friday- NEW CARPET IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!!! It's going to make all the difference in the world- no more bachelor pad!

The beginning of June mom took all of us (7) people to Hawaii to see my family and my little cousin graduate!! We had such a wonderful time together!! We got to do a lot of relaxing and spending time with the family, getting a tan and drinking!!! It was a wonderful trip!!

I have also been paddling again this summer which i really enjoy! I did my first race and Hector was such a good sport and came to support me. Although he said it was nice to see me race, he never wants to go again....can't say i blame him. its an all day event and unless your on a team, it is very boring to watch!

well, hopefully the next time I'm posting, its pictures of our house and we will be all moved in!! :) Stay tuned!

Our new Toy

Hector and I bought our first "big" Purchase together!!
2010 Polaris Razor
It goes in the sand, dirt, water and snow. It is so much fun!! We already added the roof and windshield, and we have doors and better seat belts coming soon!! If your ever up for a ride give us a call.....any excuse to take it out :)

Hector and I

So I thought I would post some pictures of Hector and I from our last trip in Idaho and Wyoming! 16 people went and we all had an amazing time!! Were were in Alpine Wyoming for 4 days, where we had the chance to visit Jackson Hole Wyoming as well! it was so beautiful! We stayed in little Cabins and were able to ride our snowmobile straight from our cabin to the mountains!




Our Second Stop was Island Park Idaho for 3 days! While in Island Park, we drove to West Yellowstone for the evening and did a little shopping! the town was pretty quite!

We rode to a place called Mesa Falls which was absolutely beautiful!!
