Spring Break and Disneyland

This last week was fantastic! Zac was on Spring Break and so was Michelle! Mom, Dad and Michelle came out and stayed with us. Zac and I had so much fun showing them around San Diego. We took them to our favorite beach, Scripps Beach, because it is nice and close and usually not very crowded.


We had to write Lindsey a little note, since she wasn't here to enjoy the warm sunshine.

I love Arizona sunsets, but I think San Diego has some pretty great ones too.

I love this silly girl. I remember when she was born and Grandma and Grandpa Heap got me out of Kindergarten to go to the hospital to see her. I remember how tiny she was. She sure is special and brings a smile to everyone's face that meets her. My life is eternally blessed because Michelle is my sister. 



I think the San Diego Temple is one of the most beautiful temples/buildings I have ever seen. Even though it was closed for cleaning, it was great to walk around the grounds.


Mom and Dad were super nice and took Zac and I along to Disneyland. I had been to Disneyland once before but for only a half of a day. I felt just like a little kid again. I felt as if my childhood was finally complete. The best part was that we didn't have to wait in any lines because of Michelle. Disneyland is truly magical. I got to see all the Disney Princesses, Mary Poppins, Simba, Mickey Mouse, Aladdin, and Peter Pan.  I am pretty sure that was the most magical moment of my life. :) It was pretty much AMAZING! 





Next up...Disney California Adventure! 
Michelle was super excited for this park because this park contains Cars Land! Cars Land was pretty awesome. It looked just like the movie. It had a lot of fun rides and Michelle even got to meet Mater and Lightening McQueen. I don't think Michelle could have been much happier than at that moment. 



Michelle has found her boyfriend 



Thanks Mom and Dad for sharing your spring break with us and taking us to Disneyland!

Post Barbie Age

Yesterday I turned 23! 23 is kind of an uneventful age. There are no real milestones associated with this age. Growing up, I never really imaged life after the age of 22. Lindsey put it well in her b-day card to me. 20 and 22 were our prime barbie ages. So I don't even have any pretend experience at this age. I am officially older than my barbies.
 I had a great day. I got to spend all day with my love. He made me breakfast, dinner and my traditional green birthday cake. Sundays are turning into my favorite day of the week. :) This year I was blessed with so many wonderful cards and messages from friends and family. I have never felt so loved. So thank you for the sweet and thoughtful cards and messages. They mean the world to me.
As I get older I realize more and more that my family and friends and the relationships I have with them are more important than anything else. I have been blessed all my life with a great supportive family and wonderful friends.
Enough mushy stuff :) Zac took Saturday night off from studying to take me out to eat. One thing I love about San Diego is that it has great Mexican food! He took me to Casa Guadalajara (we remembered that it came highly recommended by Eric and Elise) and Zac and I both agree that it is worthy of their recommendation.


I feel like my cake this year looked more like a mini campfire than a birthday cake with candles. Haha. I also got spoiled rotten with great cards, lots of money $$ and great gifts. 


Zac's mom made me this super cute jewelry holder. I absolutely love it! I needed something like this especially after working at Forever 21 and doubling my total amount of jewelry. :)


My birthday present from Zac was a new digital camera. Saturday was a gorgeous day, so I decided to go on a little photo safari with my new toy. San Diego sure is beautiful right now. Flowers are blooming and the grass is green and the sun is always shining.

Date With Myself

So sorry for being so bad recently about blogging. I just haven't had anything really to blog about. Zac is way past neck deep into school work, meaning the only time I see him is on Sunday. So I hang out by myself a lot and don't really having anything to take pictures of. Even though Zac was awesome and got me an early birthday present. He bought me a new digital camera!
Well, last night I was tired of not doing anything so I took myself out on a date. We first hit up the mall and did some early birthday shopping. Next, we made dinner together then ended the night snuggled on the couch watching a chick flick. I think it was a successful date. I think I will have to take myself out again next week. This relationship is looking to go long term. :) Either that or I just need to find friends.
Anywho, work is going great! I love it. And now that we are back on Day Light Savings it will actually still be light enough outside to do stuff when I get home from work.
 I am also in the middle of a dilemma. I found an indoor soccer team! woohoo, but I don't know anyone on the team and the game times will be hard for me to make. Our ward is also putting together a city league volleyball team which plays at the same time as the soccer league. Volleyball or Soccer. Tough decisions.
