Vacation

I am officially ready for a vacation right about now! John and I have a cruise planned with his parents and his sister Emily in September but September can't seem to get here fast enough! I wish our cruise were happening on July 13, 2007.

In addition to our cruise we are planning to go to Equador sometime in November. John served his mission is Equador and he just can't wait to take me there! I'll be sure to take tons of pictures because I'm sure you're all dying to see how I do in a place like Equador! John is very lucky he has such an adventurous wife!

Anyway, here are some pictures of my favorite vacations. Is anyone going any place exciting this summer?

Hawaii









Grand Cayman (Our Honeymoon)





St. Maarten






Santa Domingo







Home Sweet Home

Filet-O-Fish

I've recently discovered "you tube" and very recently discovered this hilarious ad by McDonalds (thanks Krystal!)
As many of you know, my degree is in Advertising and I can be pretty discriminating when it comes to ads I see, however, I have to give this one two enthusiastic thumbs up! Good work McDonalds.
What do you think?

Happy 4th of July!

Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, not only for the fireworks and red white and blue sugar cookies, but also because it gives us a chance to really reflect on how much we have to be grateful for. We live in a land of incredible opportunity and freedom. I am very happy and proud to be an American!
This year for the 4th, we went to the beach with a bunch of friends to watch the fireworks. The weather was a bit dreary but it didn't rain and that's the important thing! There were still fireworks! It was a lot of fun.

John and some of the guys were playing this game I couldn't quite figure out. Looked exciting though.

All the girls and a few really cute babies!

Fireworks!
