Leaving Virginia!

I can't believe the summer has come and gone! I am so glad that Adam had a great summer and that I did not have to sell! Adam is amazing and I love him so much. We are so excited for the adventures ahead of us! We packed our car, gave my bike and a bunch of random of things to Kelly, and headed home! Now we are loving being home for a few days and just getting ready for China!

Washington D.C.

We went to D.C. and went to the natural history museum. After that we started to walk towards the Lincoln Memorial and it started to sprinkle. No big deal! The rain here usually doesn't last long. Well we got to the Washington Memorial and it started to pour so we turned around and headed back to the metro. You can tell by the time we got to the metro we were soaking wet!!

Charleston

Me, Kacie, Ashley and Braxton went to Charleston for the weekend to visit the boys. It was so fun to be with Adam. We chilled, watched the Olympics, went to the mall, did laundry, and ate out way too much!

River Riders!!

Me, Emmy, and Stacy went to Harpers Ferry to white water tube down the shenadoah river! haha We had a blast as we floated along and enjoyed the scenery, it was amazing and the water was so warm! And we had to tie our flip flops to us so that we wouldn't lose them down the river!

***CHINA***

We finally got everything ready to go to China! Tickets, Passports, and Visas! Crazy that we will be flying to China in less than 3 1/2 weeks!

Beach fun!

Mike, Jess, and Me hitting the waves!

~Me and Adam~

The *GIRLS*

On our way to the beach-Adam taping up our window!!! ghetto fabulous
Adam basically wanted 3 things for his birthday! Sushi, the beach, and all you can eat ribs and crab. So Saturday on his birthday along with his presents he got sushi, then Sunday we packed up and headed to the beach! It was a blast!! We hit the waves till our bottoms came off-literally! Adam and Mike both got fried. Then we went to Harpoons Hanna's to eat again, and of course they ate as much rib and crab as they could. It is so yummy!

~Adams Birthday~

Adam worked all day on his birthday but I woke up early and made him breakfast! And then that night we went to this sushi buffet, and Adam was in heaven! You can see in the picutre below that Adam doesn't mess around when it comes to sushi!!

One year ago..........

It has been a year since Adam came home from his mission! Adam and I dated for two years before his mission and then we wrote each other the two years on his mission. We met the first day of class our senior year and it was love!! or lust.....he was hott and mysterious! haha and then when we got to know each other, truly it was love. He is my better half, my rock, my life, my soul mate. The day he came home from his mission was a roller coaster as I flew in that morning to Jackson Hole from Virginia where I was selling alarms, I had my Mom, A, Kayson and the girls pick me up. My mom drove like a maniac(I think she was more nervous than I was!)and we still missed him getting off the plane in Idaho Falls! and it was sooooo awkward at first!! But then it all fell into place and it was like he never left. We were happily married in the SLC temple 5 months later and today is our 7 month blissful anniversary of marriage!!!
