And we are STILL ALIVE!

I know, I know I am sooo horrible at posting! When we were dating I thought there would be so many cool and exciting things to post about once we got married and I was wrong.. ha it's just like normal life.. only we live in the same house and sleep in the same bed. Since my last post there have been a few exciting things that happened tho! I did end up getting a new job (3 months ago.. ha I'm awful I know!) It's at a new dental office in Costa Mesa so ALOT closer to home! (15 min compared to an hour and 15 min..) Which helps ALOT especially with not having to pay $4 a day to take the toll road and gas prices these days. The V8 & Hemi don't help with that either. Dan & I have planned a few little weekend trips coming up that we are really looking forward to! We want to be able to do some of these little "get aways" before we have one "on the way". We have been told by countless people to get little trips in before we start trying to have any kids because it makes it alot more difficult once they are here, and with only one income. So this weekend we are headed to PALM SPRINGS!! It's only about 2 hours away but about 20 degrees hotter!! I'm so excited!! Then Memorial Day weekend I will be going to Minnesota to meet my new nephew (who will hopefully make his grand appearance in the next day or 2!!) After I get back the next weekend we will be heading to VEGAS!! I love Vegas! (which again in about 20 degrees warmer than here). The next weekend Dan is going to Atlanta for work. Then in July we are going to the East coast for 10 days! I am SOOO looking forward to this trip!! I have been to New York twice but once was for New Years and once for Christmas so it was COLD & I didn't get the full New York experience! So we are staying with Dan's parents in New Jersey and making some trips up to New York to see Ellis Island, ground zero and times square & go to a Yankees game at the new stadium!! YESS DEREK JETER!!! Then we will be driving down to DC for the 4th to watch the fireworks at the Monument. I've heard of a few people doing this and decided we MUST do this!! I'm sooo excited!! I LOVE the fourth of July!! Then in August we are wanting to go up to San Francisco.. it's not planned yet so we'll see.. But once we do all these trips hopefully I will post about them.. no promises. ;)
Anyway on another note I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! I am so thankful for both my Amazing Mother & Mother-in-law! I feel so blessed to have those two wonderful women in my life, and so look forward to the day when I have children & will know they have the best Grandmas ever!! Saturday Dan took me to a "non" Mother's Day dinner, we went to this place at the South Coast Plaza called Anqi. It was AMAZING! We had some fillet pot stickers to start and then I had the rack of lamb with marble potatoes and a golden curry sauce, and Dan had short ribs with sweet potato polenta and plum sauce. It was so so good! Then at church on Sunday they had the men take over for the women in Primary so Dan, with one of our our home teachers, taught my Ctr 4 class. He had so much fun with them, and like a little mom I missed them like crazy and ran from the relief society room to class room so I could see them before they left, so silly I know!
ONE last exciting piece of info! DAN & I SET OUR TEMPLE SEALING DATE!! We will be sealed September 24, 2011 in the San Diego temple!! We can't wait!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day and I will try to be better at posting!!
