Australia, February 2007

In February, Israel and I went to Australia. We spent a week in Sydney and a few days in a Northern city called Cairns, off the Great Barrier Reef. It was an amazing trip. We saw kangaroos, platypus, koala bears, crocodiles and beautiful sea life. We took a two hour boat ride out to the Reef and Israel and I went scuba diving and explored the ocean floor. We had a great time!

Melissa...
I am happy to see that you have a blog. So, I have some news...we just found out yesterday that we are moving to Australia. Jared accepted a job with Novell. We are just waiting on his visa. If it all goes through we should be in Sydney in December. What was it like there? How are you feeling? How many weeks are you now?

April Conference Breakfast

Image
Every April and October, our family gets together at my parents' house during the LDS General Conference on Sunday morning for a big breakfast. The food is great and I love seeing some of my cousins who live in the area. Israel has missed it since he joined the choir, but we enjoy watching him on TV. Here are a few of the group shots that were taken today in between conference sessions. We miss those of our family who live far away or who couldn't make it. xoxo

Beatles Birthday Weekend!

Image
To celebrate my birthday, my sister Jessica and I went down to Vegas to see the Beatles Love show at the Mirage. It was an amazing show and we had a great weekend. We stayed with my friend, Andrea, who is Tamara's little sister. On Friday night we went to Chevy's (my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant) and then went to see the water show at the Bellagio. On Saturday we went the buffet at the Wynn and had a quick shopping trip at our favorite store, H&M. Then we rushed off to the show and afterwards we celebrated with non-alcoholic Pina Coladas at Caesar's Palace. I had one of the best birthday's ever. It was such a quick trip but it was really fun to have a girl's weekend together--our first ever! I am so lucky to have the best sister in the world!!!
