My sister.

We may be opposites in some things....I tend to be a quite the pushover. Amber...well, she has more courage than anyone I know, even though she may not see it. And....if you think I'm funny (which...of course I'm practically a comedian).....she can have me dying on the floor laughing in a matter of seconds. I'm talking record breaking. 

Not to mention, if you have ever been around Amber, you know she has a knack for thinking up some of the most bizarre words that you can't help but love. And food combinations? I can't even get started with that one. I'll just leave that at the words....hot tamales and cheese wiz.

She's eccentric. An amazing cook. Beautiful. Selfless. An incredible mom. And apologizes way too much. She gives everything for her family. She can make my cheeks go red in the flash of a second. She is my main source for what's going on in the world. Above all though...she's my best friend, and she's always helped me to feel like I could conquer the world, no matter what I was facing. 

Happy Birthday my dear! When most people would have tried to ditch their un-cool little sister....thanks for keeping me in tow. And even though we currently have a gap of 573 miles....thanks for always being there for me. I have no doubt that Heavenly Father knew how much I was going to need you! 

Here is to the big 2-4! 

When I grow up, I hope to be a little more like you!


I just had to include this one! I have no doubts they're just as grateful for you!

June already?

Wow, how did that happen! Sometimes it definitely seems like you blink and suddenly a couple months have gone by! I can't believe it's already the middle of June!

Life has been going pretty well here in the Land of Vegas, just keeping up with the rush of school and work. I realize more and more frequently how blessed we truly are living here. I also daily remind myself how wondrous air conditioning is (props to you pioneers for living without it!).

In the past month....We both celebrated our birthdays (I've finally legally enter adulthood..whooo!) We've spent lots of time traveling in the car. Date nights. Finishing school....only to start up summer semester. A new promotion at work. A trip to Utah. And beginning to grow accustomed to a desert heated summer. Instead of writing a long monologue of all of the great things we've been up to the past month, here are some pictures to enjoy!

I'm still happily married to this dream boat. All geared up for Iron Man!


 Best movie watching experience ever. I could have slept in those seats!

Date night! Ice cream and air plane watching!


 Oh how we've missed Utah! Green mountains!!
 We absolutely loved spending time with family (especially endless games of tag!  However....in those moments.....we forgot to take pictures! So...this is the scenic portion of our Utah trip.
Next lead role for James Bond. 
Meet Jordan. She's incredible! One of our greatest friends down here!

We're really great at loosing our sunglasses. That's ok...bring it on scorching sun.

Also, a big shout out to our family....for everything they've helped us to do. Even when it's just a simple phone call from hours away. We love you guys! As for the summer.....it's here whether I'm ready or not!
