Mackinac Island

For our 2 year anniversary Steven and I went to the famous Mackinac Island. It is nestled off the shores of the upper peninsula of Lake Huron.

No cars are allowed. You get around by foot, horse, or bike. We tried a little of each. In fact, their taxis are horse-drawn carriages

Arch Rock, We love the water of the Lake Huron; it is so blue!
Our little bed and breakfast we stayed at. They had some great breakfast. I think I was mostly a fan of their oatmeal.

The governor's mansion. Maybe I should convince Steven to become governor of Michigan some day.
Lots of horses and lots of horse poo. They were really good about keeping things cleaned up with professional pooper-scoopers.

Check out that hottie!

Kirtland and Lansing

We loved having Steven's parents up here. They spoiled us to death, and we loved every minute of it.

Yay for pedicures!
This tree is outside of the Rose Gardens of Frances park. I loved it!
Kirtland Temple
The love birds in Kirtland.

Outside of the Newell K. Whitney store. Can you Believe it, at one time before the church restored it to its original state it use to be a bar!

Linda and Ricardo came up at the beginning of May. We were estatic that family wanted to come and see our new home. For our first tourist spot we went to the Henry Ford Museum. They have all kinds of great stuff there. If you are ever in Detroit I would highly recommend it. Here are some picts.

Working on a good ol' Ford Model T
The museum had different eras portrayed. I think Linda found hers. She is sure a pro at making yummy, "lardy" food.

This is for you Adam! I hope you like the bungalow we picked out for you
Say no to KKK!
Where do I go?

Celebrate Good Times!!!

Steven got a brand new mountain bike for our anniversary, and he loves it! Sometimes I go in the room and see him just staring at the bike or polishing it; I think it's his new baby. We love going on bike rides at Birchfield park. He's quite the go getter going down hills, but of course I am way better at eating the dirt on my way down, but Steven says I'm a pro at the technical stuff. Thanks Babe.Michigan is a great place for gardening, soooooo here is our garden! We are growing chives, oregano, basil, rosemary, and mint.

What better way to celebrate the spring than with a BBQ! We just got our new BBQ grill and have had so much fun with it. A couple of weeks ago we had our friends over, the Melos, and had some delicious turkey burgers. mmmmmm
And of course the highlight of it all......One year down of law school! Good job boys!
So what do we do to celebrate.... go scope out Lake Michigan....

Adam is going on a mission to Argentina.

We are going home for the 4th of July, to AZ!!!!

Eak! I've been Tagged

Eak! I've been tagged. I'd better post because I think this is the 2nd time Thanks to Amber Jarvis and Carriane. Things you may not know about me:

#1: I love to sleep. I think since I hit high school my favorite past time has been sleeping. I can easily pull off a 3-4 hour nap on a Sunday afternoon. And now thanks to working nights it's a great excuse to sleep all day.

#2: After I have a good long work out I like to check my muscles out in the mirror. Concededed...maybe, but don't worry,they aren't much to brag about.

#3: I love to make people smile. I just love it when I get a grouchy old patient at work and by then end of the night he smiles instead of yells at me when I come in. :)

#4: I'm a sweet freek, especially chocolate.

#5: Sometimes when I'm in the car by myself or with Steven, I dance and sing to the top of my lungs. Well, I guess I can't dance with my legs, but I have some pretty good shoulder and arm moves.

#6: In college my roommates would have to hide my peanut butter from me because I would eat so much I would either get constipated or get tummy aches. Thanks old roomy's!

I know there is supposed to be 7, but I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. :)

Me in my fancy robe with my facial lady

Facial

My husband is a stud! After working a long night he comes and picks me up from work and then leaves a tape recorder in the car for me to listen to. On it he tells me how good looking I am and smart and fun, and how proud he is of me for working so hard. He then tells me that he did something I would never do for myself, schedule a facial. I did not have to do anything, just show up. It was paid for and he even put the route in on the navigation system! I could not believe my ears! He scheduled it at an AVEDA beauty school. I was so impressed. I was expecting the salon to be in an older buiding where they had rows of people lined up getting their faces rubbed, but it was nothing like that at all. When I arrived I found a very upscale stylish salon. Probably one of the nicest I had ever been in. I was led to my own private dressing room where I changed into a bath robe. I was then let into a private room with dim lit lights and soft nature music where my facial lady rubbed my feet while I filled a sheet asking questions about my skin. Then she gave me the most amazing facial in the whole world. I even got to pick my aromas. She massaged, cleansed, and rubbed oils and lotions on my face, shoulders, arms, hands, and feet. It was fabulous! I felt like I was some rich lady who ruled the world! The whole process was like 1.5 hours. So any men out there who may be reading this, if you want to impress your wife, chances are this will definitely do the trick.
