BAM!!! I'm Back!

By -
So I haven't been on the blog in a while, more than a while.  But the weather is getting colder and it gets dark way to soon for my liking, so I think the blog and I will get to be friends again.  Just a quick recap of the spring, summer, and and fall:

Porter lost 40 lbs. and competed in is first ever amateur Muay Thai Kickboxing match.  He lost, but he is back in the ring this Saturday for his second fight!  So everyone better be cheering for Le Mustache!


I am still in Grad School at Westminster studied Adult Ed.  I'm working on my Thesis right now which is on Gamification of Corporate Trainings.  I basally want to look at how to make adult education fun and meaningful at the same time.  There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel, I graduate in May!



We had an amazing garden this year all thanks to a magical little thing called irrigation.  Porter and I designed and installed our own system.  It was sweet, quite literally, we ate some may yummies from our little garden spot.  This picture was taken in spring, it was a jungle by the time fall rolled around.


We installed a Deck on the back of our house (why did we wait so long?).  It's amazing and we love it!


I directed "Grease" at YTU this summer.  It was very cute and I loved the dancing.  We did it in a Rockabilly style, and the kids looked great.


Porter and I have been doing a lot of swing dancing and will probably do more in the winter.

My MacBook died.  It was horrible.  Oh and I broke the screen on my iPhone a few weeks prior.  Luckily we were able to salvage my important documents (like school papers and thesis stuff).  I was so sad and stressed that week.  I use my computer for work, school, everything!  My hard drive went bad. So, now I'm a little paranoid about technology, especially my computer.


Oh yeah, we went to England!  It was amazing, and I'm ready to go back.  Our friends Ali and Jon got married there (Porter officiated).  The wedding was perfect, and I'm so happy we could be apart of it.


We went to the first ever SLC Comic Con (this deserves a post of it's own).  It was fabulous, and so crowded, almost 50,000 people, wow!  We cosplayed at Alice and the Mad Hatter and a Rockabilly styled Mario and Peach.


So those are the major events from the time I've been away.  Hopefully I will post more about the random shenanigans from my life.

St. George Spring Break

Just like the rest of the world, we haven't traveled in a year. We all have been going stir crazy and really wanted to get out for a quick get away over spring break. We thought about the beach, but opted for a destination we could drive too: St. George, Utah. Southern Utah is magical. There really is no other place on earth like it. The red rock desert mixed with exotic land formations and the occasional pop of green foliage make for a unique and exiting adventure.  We had never actually stayed in St. George. I did a bunch of research of where to stay, where to eat and what to do. I think it turned out really well if I do say so myself.  We stayed at the Las Palmas Resort in Condo 1801 . This resort and condo are awesome! The complex has lots of pools and hot tubs. Plus there are play grounds everywhere. We were on the bottom floor and our patio opened up right to playground. We would just open the door and let the girls go play while we enjoyed dinner and a glass of wine on the

Italian Babymoon 2016: Venice

Venice.  This was the final stop on the Italian Babymoon.  We flew in to Rome, and flew out of Venice.  I really liked the way we planned this.  We didn't have to circle back to Rome to catch a flight, which was awesome!  We decided to go to Venice because it is kind of one of those places you just have to see.  It was cool, but not my favorite part of Italy.  It feels completely different compared to the other areas we visited.  Also, everything is way more expensive.  So just be prepared to pay a lot more for the same stuff you had in Florence.  However, we did have a lovely time. Water taxi, canal boat, or walking over many little bridges is how you get around.  Porter and I road the water taxi around a bunch to see the sights.  It's a great way to get a lay of the land. There is one large canal the taxis go around called The Grand Canal, then countless little canals that the little boats go through.  It was crazy to think that people would walk out their front

Italian Babymoon 2016: Florence

You Guys!  It's been a hot minute hasn't it?   So life with a baby is crazy, which is normal I think.  I completely abandoned my blog.  And middle saga no less.  I still have 2 posts to go on the Babymoon.  Never mind that the baby bump in this first picture is now almost a toddler, but I digress.  I have so many more posts to share of our travels and life.  So let's get to it.   Florence was our 3rd stop in Italy.  I was so excited to see the sculptures, and eat the gelato.  However, when we got to our hotel room, I was in love.  Our bed was gorgeous, and the best thing was the fact that they had air conditioning!!!  I just wanted to lay in the nice cool bed and sleep.  The bump was looking quite on point, so I had to snap a picture of the bump and the room.  We stayed at Art Atelier .  When Porter was finally able to rouse me from my lovely nap we jumped up to head out the door.  However, Porter jumped a little too much and his phone went flying.
