well i forgot to tell you all that i did pass my test. i can't believe i forgot, but then again... i can. so i passed my test and am now waiting yet again for a piece of paper and my school to get things into gear. no more job offers have come, but without my little paper, i can't really go looking. blast!
the REAL SLC soccer game on the 18th (adam's birthday) was a lot of fun. zach was able to get work rearranged so we could go. REAL played Chicago and won! this was a record game because it now is 23 consecutive home wins for any major league soccer team. GO REAL SLC!!!
Dad & Eliz were kind enough to dog sit Rei Rei for us and i am happy to report that she was a very good dog for them. we get to pick her up today after zach gets off work at 5. we just got back from california. we finally took our honeymoon!
mom & dad Smith got us a week in Dolphins Cove in Anaheim and we loved it! We got checked in on monday and went to bed fairly early so we could enjoy Disneyland/California Adventure. zach & i walked 1 mile to Disneyland. we had fantastic 2, 2-day park hoppers thanks to becky & hyrum. poor zach got sick on thursday so we stayed at the resort and played in the pool & got ice cream and made strawberry/banana shakes. friday we went to La Jolla Cove to go snorkeling. It was beautiful and even though the waves were a bit rough to actually see well, we still had fun. saturday we went back to becky & hyrum's to get mom & dad smith to journey back to la verkin and then this morning ogden. dang the week went too fast.
can i just say i love connections. because hyrum is a disney animator, we got an extra free button in disneyland that has "happily ever after" on it. the other button we got just for honeymooning in disneyland said "just married" and they gave both of us our own buttons. we actually only got the free buttons on the second day because the first day (tuesday) was still crazy busy from the weekend. it wasn't too bad, but the wait line for galaxy ghost (space mountain decked out for halloween) was an hour without the fast pass. this was also in part to the ride being shut down for most of the day. but the people in disneyland were even more nice (if that's possible) when you have a button on your shirt that says you are celebrating something special with disneyland. and disneyland at halloween is really amazing! i've never been to disneyland other than during the summer breaks. and really, i want to go see what they do for christmas, but that won't happen for a few years at least. but who knows. the wonderful world of color is a must see in california adventure. it is the newest night show with water, lights, and fire. by far cooler than other shows done in the park. if you get the chance, you have to go see it!
this past week was a much needed, great getaway. it went too quickly, but it was such fun. i took a lot of pictures. you can see them on facebook. i was able to get them on there, but i can't figure out how to get them on the blog. i'll get them on though. for now, i leave cause conference is going to be back on soon. and then we get to go pick up rei rei. i hope she missed us cause we missed her. and i hope she won't act out for us being gone a whole week.
