So I cut my hair....and I love it!

I decided to cut my hair. I was getting sick of it long and I always love it short so here is a picture of my new hair. I feel very sassy with this new cut. ha ha.

Also the other picture is of what Bella does anytime you are on the floor. She thinks she is a lap dog. Silly Lab! And yes that is AE installing our new dishwasher! We had a little more money than we thought saved so we bought one and it is amazing. ha ha

Fun in the Windy City

We had a blast in Chicago and everytime we visit a city a swear I was meant to be a city girl. I would live in Chicago in a heart beat. We loved every minute of our trip and it ended too soon.

This is AE's cousin and her husband that we stayed with. Thank you so much Ben and Lexi!! We had a blast and you guys were great hosts. Lexi you are the cutest 6 months prego I have ever seen. I can't wait to meet your little girl.

Every fourth of July Chicago does this great thing called "Taste of Chicago" You pay so much money and get to taste all these great food for pretty inexpenisve. It was amazing!





The picture of the city through a window is the view we saw all week through Ben and Lexi's place...Amazing I know.




We went to a Cub's game where thy won 9 - 5. It was an amazing experience and cubs fans are the best. I thought it was so cool that they still had the old score board where people actually sit up in it and physically change the score by hand. Wrigley field and Fenway park are the only baseball fields still like this (which is cool because those are the two greatest baseball teams :))


We did a session at the Chicago temple.




We watched fireworks on the third at Grant park and Over Lake Michigan on the fourth. Amazing fireworks. If you have never seen 1 million people in one sitting you should watch fireworks at grant park (where Obama gave his winning speech). It is an interesting experience.








Over all we ate great food! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the deep dish pizza we ate. If you are ever in Chicago you have to eat at Giordano's. They have the most amazing deep dish pizza and also the corner bakery where I ate a great salad. We saw lots of great buildings and saw some great people. The picture of us with the family is the Lambournes. We used to live by them and it was so good to see them. Their girls are so big and so adorable. Oh and does the third to last picture look familiar? That is where Batman drives his bullet bike in the Dark knight. That street was right by their place. Pretty cool.

We loved our trip and hope to go back soon! Again thank you Ben and Lexi for housing us for four days. We had a blast!

our cruise ship and the people we met along the way

ok I promise I am almost done with cruise posts infact this is the last one. We met some amazing people and ate the most amazing food. Princess cruises is a good cruise ship and I would book through them again.

Our room guy lined my shoes up. It was hilarious and he was so nice.


These were two of the couples we met. We had so much fun with them and they both said they adopted us for the week as grandchildren.

Victoria

Victoria,Canada was by far my favorite place on our cruise and I would live here in a heart beat. They had the cutest coolest old houses and the town just had the best feel to it. It was beautiful and so romantic. We will be going back for sure.





Above are the cute houses and the cool castle we went in. Believe it or not all of the houses look like this cute huh?!



We went to the wax museum and met some celebrities. They had all these leaders from different religions in one section and we thought it was funny that they had Brigham Young over Joseph Smith.

Skagway

I am finishing up our cruise posts and then will get to Chicago. Our third stop was Skagway Alaska. This was the cutest little town. I don't think I could live here but I would definitly visit again. They had some of the most amazing hikes. The picture of the cemetary was a really old cemetary that had the cool waterfall that you see in the picture above behind it. We went on a pretty tough hike that had a lake at the top of the mountain....we weren't as prepared as we could have been. ha ha
