Since January, not a whole lot has happened. We did go on a couple vacations this summer. I'll start there.
Our first vacation was our first Mexico trip! Neither of us had ever been out of the country until this trip. It was an adventure. Not really, but it was fun. I never had a passport up until a few months after we were married. We initially wanted to go on a cruise for our honeymoon, but since I didn't have a passport, that didn't help. So we decided on something else and I later got my passport. So since Adam starts school back up in August, we wanted to go somewhere nice before we get busy and our lives start changing. We went to Rocky Point and rented a house from a couple that are from Tucson, AZ. It was great. The house was like 2 blocks from the beach and it was a legit house.. not a condo. We got a smokin deal too! We stayed a weekend fri-sun. It was just enough time for us. We just hung low on the first night.. walked to the beach and checked that out, ate dinner, and hung out at the house. 
The second day, we went to the Old-town shopping area. The people there are ALWAYS trying to sell you something.. everywhere. We'd be at dinner in a restaurant and someone would approach your table with a bunch of knick-knacks trying to get you to buy something. It was slightly annoying, but it comes with the town. A couple of places we ate at were Mary's Seafood, Lucky's Cantina, and anther place next to Mary's that I don't remember the name. I want to say it was senior something..?? We had a few virgin pina coladas and fun drinks like that too. I tried flounder for the first time. I didn't mind it.
Fish doesn't make me gag anymore (with some good ketchup or something of
course).. but I would still rather spend my money on something else.
Anyway, so other than eating, we went to the Sandy beach and hung out
there and rented a jetski/skidoo for like a half hour. It was fun. The first
time Adam rode a jetski was a couple years ago at a lake trip that my old job
took us on and he ended up getting a ticket for driving on the wrong side of
the lake. Ridiculous, right? Anyways, so he had a bitter experience before and
was pleasantly surprised this time. I'm sort of scared of deep ocean water. Too
many shark videos probably. But anyway, so when we are riding on the jetski, we
are definitely far enough out that you can't see the bottom of the ocean
anymore. I was fine (as long as I didn't think about it) until we see these
fish jumping out of the water. After a few hours after we finished riding, I
couldn't help but think.. those fish were trying to escape something.. in the
water. I know, I'm such a nerd. But it's a valid thought.
We were going to rent a couple horses and ride on the beach too, but that didn't happen. Here's why. By the time we hunted down a guy with some horses to rent, me- being the horsewoman that I am.. noticed the horses hooves. THE WORST I have ever seen. Those poor babies. They looked exhausted.. and that's why. This picture is one that I pulled from the internet, but this is exactly how those horses hooves looked. It made me sick. The guy who was ponying the horses around was an older Hispanic man. I asked him "Don't their feet hurt?" and he just said "Ya. Thirty Dolla!" Obviously he had no idea what I was saying. We just did the horses a favor and declined. We did see another guy that had horses to rent as we were leaving that seemed to be healthier, but we were leaving so we didn't ride.After hanging at the beach for a while, we went home and got cleaned up. We just hung out at home till dinner because I wasn't feeling good. The next morning, we packed up and left. No trouble at the border either.
A few weeks after that, we had my moms family reunion up in Pinetop, AZ. My grand parents live up there right next door to my aunt and uncle. So, the family had a big sleepover between the two houses. On the way up we had to stop at the burger house! Adam had never been there before. He wasn't that impressed. I guess it's a childhood memory thing that makes it better. But I sure missed it. We mostly just hung out and visited.. played pounce (aka nerts--a card game... and if you haven't hear of it.. you're missing out) and some frisbee game that my brother Tanner got. We also all played softball with everyone which was really fun, but WAY too short! We started a little late and it got too dark so we had to stop. But it was still really fun! I definitely always love being back on the field. I played softball all growing up and the league I played in decided to cut the age limit so I was only able to play till I was like 16. I miss it.
We have so many photographers in our family. I hadn't realized it till this weekend just how many we have. So of course, we had family pictures taken. Which I'm ok with. Me and Adam are kind of bad at remembering to take pictures. So I'll take the excuse. That pretty much sums up our summer vacations so far.
Adam starts school in August. So far, it's looking like he's taking online classes for the ASU MBA program. It's either that or the Tempe campus. With him working full time along with being in school, online classes are probably going to fit best, but we'll see. This program is a "2 year" program, but is really only 22 months-ish. I'm not counting down or anything. ;) So after we figure out where this will leave us financially, we'll be able to plan when we can get a house of our own and the fun stuff that comes with that. I'm hoping sooner than later. I'm just really excited to decorate my house. I think I'm going to like interior design. I've thought about going to school for that, but I doubt there's a very big demand for that.. so it's just a dream.
Me and Adam are trying to be more active now-a-days. Adam is always into working out, but me.. not so much. I don't like exercising just to work out. I like being active if I'm doing something like sports or something. I just don't like focusing on it while it's happening. But I'll get over that. We hiked the mini mountain over off of Brown and Power in mesa this last weekend. We have really good timing on deciding to be active.. when it's 115 degrees outside. But yeah, it was death out there. I am so out of shape. But we're trying to work up to cooler mountains. I'm going to take some time, but I'll get there. Typical duck-face selfie.That's pretty much all there is going on here! Until next time.
