Here's the ScooP with Pics to come!

I have had many a person requesting an Ad and Cher update so here goes!

May 2nd I graduated from the University of Utah!!! Woot Woot!!! This day was such a happy and sereal day! Last fall was filled with many trials and has been the most difficult part of my life thus far. I had some overly cruel professors that took it upon themselves to strip away every last part of my pride, confidence, and self-esteem day after day...*sigh*... I could never of made it through without my dear madre, the comforting shoulder of my loving husband who allowed me to break down daily and nightly, in between and after classes, day after day, for months on end, nor without my heavenly father that gave me the strength to keep going. It was a dark and dreary part of my life which I have tried to forget (not very effectively as you can tell!). For those of you out there that think a Bachelors rocks "I did it!!!" And I wish every brave soul best of luck that chooses to move on to graduate courses!

What's graduation without a little 'PARTAY'!!! ??? !!!

After graduation spiraled a whole slew of events:

On May 5th, Cinco de Marci, we surprised sexy little Marci with a cinco de Marci party for her birthday! Her family and friends were all there and it was a grand old time! We went to Cafe Rio and then did cake & ice cream at Shannon's casa! Marci I love you and Happy BIRTHDAY girl (again)!!!

Not even a week later we had a bachelorette party for Ashlee Hansen! I shant expand upon this except it was goooood times (wink wink)!

The following Saturday Ashlee invited us to go to the Salt Lake Temple! It was a very special day and I am so glad that I was able to be there! I LOVE YOU ASH!

SOFT BALL SEASON...err not!

Adam's time as a soft ball star for this season came to an end abruptley on Monday, May 19th when he slid into second base and broke his hand (Yes he was safe!). Way to sacrifice one for the team Ad! He did not however inform me of this until after the game...such a boy. We spent the rest of the evening at the E.R.

On the 22nd of May at 4:00 a.m. Adam and I left our casa to go pick up our friends Nick and Kari for a fun week in CALIFORNIA!!!! The months of planning truly paid off and it was such a blast!!! We began our trip at the Pantages theatre in L.A. to see WICKED!!! We had the most unbelievable seats (2nd row-orchestra) and my heart has never been fuller! I couldn't get the smile off my face or stop the butterflies from coming! This definitely spiraled our vacation in an out-of-control fun time that never stopped! As this was Nick's first time to Disneyland and Kari & I's first time back in several years we did everything! Most of us (3 of 4) had never been to California Adventure so we began our day there and ended it in Disneyland! It was magical, but freezing and between all of the rides we would stop at each shop and try on sweatshirts and hats in an attempt to get warm.

The next day was Saturday and so we drove to San Diego to go to the San Diego Temple! It was truly as amazing as they say--- inside and out!!! We spend a few hours there and could have stayed the entire day!

After the temple we stopped at the Oceanside Harbor and had lunch at the local fish n' chips market! It was so beautiful and picturesque! Adam and Nick both got the fish n' chips and each piece was literally over a foot long! It was insane!

We then drove back to our hotel in Anaheim and chilled out for awhile then went to dinner with my friend (I call her my cousin cause she feels like one) Jennifer and her hubbie Brandon who now live in Texas but were in Orange County the same time we were! We went to Newport Beach and ate at the Newport Grill which was right out on the pier! It was so beautiful and completely ideal! We ate as the sunset and were able to see seals, 3 dolphins, a small shark (Adam knows which kind) that a fisherman caught below us, crabs, and tons of fish that were being caught by all these Filipinos on the dock below us!!! It was in one word: AMAZING!!! And the food was tasty too!

The next morning we went to DIN-E-LAND all day! It was so much fun! We hit all the great rides in fabulous time (thanks to Adams fast legs which ran and got us fast passes and many thanks to Nick's long legs which got him and five guests a complimentary pass to any ride of his choice!)! We chose Splash Mtn. and had Nick sit in front! He got super soaked! We all did and we were all still soaked hours later! For those of you who have been to Disneyland before and have ridden The Pirates of the Caribean ride you will probably recall the restaraunt that you pass while on the ride! It has always been one of mine and Kari's dreams to eat at this restraunt and on this day that dream came true! The ambiance was great, the gumbo-delicious, the prices-expensive, the memories-CLASSIC!!


On our final full day in Cali we drove to Laguna beach and we (well Kari and Nick) played in the water! Adam still has his cast on and was forbidden to get it wet, so we sat on the beach and relaxed while the Ellis's frolic-ed in the rampant waves!

It was truly a fantastic trip! It was all that I had hoped it could be and so much more!***I suppose this is enough of an update for now!
