Thanks to Leap Year
Honeymoon
Here is Burke trying to figure out where we are and the where the nearest gas station would be
They were even nice enough to put a sign out for us to so we knew where we were :)
So we finally found a person in the Kelso Depot Visiting Center that told us a gas station was just down the road a little ways. I wish I had a picture...when we got there the gas nosels were chained up and the only gas available was emergency gas and it was $5.00 a gallon. Needless to say we bought one gallon. Anywho, this experience is definatley memorable and we did make it to California safe and sound.
On our way from Palm Springs to Disneyland we ran into a few crazy things that we just laughed at. First there was what looked like a farm (a valley) full of windmills. Then we pulled off to get some breakfast and saw these massive dinasours that we had to get pictures with! It was a very sunny day so I was in a skirt but in a wind channel so there is me holding my skirt down :).
Once we got to Anaheim we went to the beach! Of course we were used to winter weather in Provo so we took advantage of the sun and put our swimming suits on...we got the weirdest looks all day. We made a doliphin in the sand, walked around, and burke tried to trick me into getting in the water (He was successful up to my mid thigh). It was a great time!Now to the happiest place on earth...Disneyland! It was everything I imagined it to be. It was so fun to be there together and go on the rides. There were large lines that day but it was still worth it! My favorite one was Space Mountain. I wanted to go on it again but the line took nearly an hour to get through. We stayed there all day so we could watched the fireworks by the castle. They were incredible and by far the best we had ever seen. Because it was at Christmas time, all the rides were done holiday and there was fake snow at the end of the fireworks! It was so amazing and very magical!

Est. Decmeber 29, 2007
I would have to say that we both married into great families. They are so fun to be around. Every time we go home it is so hard to leave. Hopefully someday we will be able to at least move closer or actually to St. George. Since I am almost finished at BYU and Burke is going to UVU we will be here till December and then if Burke decides he wants to stay we will be here for longer :). We do have a little family up here so that makes it easier and it would be hard to leave them that's for sure.
