My Latest Obsession


About a month ago, Ryan and I decided to go on a hike at Usery Pass. Since that day, I have become completely obsessed with hiking! On the weekdays I sit at my desk dreaming about hiking. And on Saturdays, I wake up early out our of sheer excitment to get on the mountain. According to Ryan, "I have a problem." ;-)


On Saturday I went hiking with a few of my friends and was so ancy to get up on the mountain I actually went early and hiked the trail once before everyone else got there. I don't know if it's the fresh air or the combo of that and the amazing workout, but I absolutely LOVE hiking! On Sunday morning I even tried to convince Ryan that hiking is a "Sabbath Day activity" (apparently he doesn't agree). So if you've wondered why my blogging has been a bit sluggish lately (which you probably didn't even notice), it's merely because I've been a little preoccupied with my new "obsession."

Vegas Made Me Do It...

Last weekend Ryan and his brothers had planned a weekend trip to Vegas to watch a basketball tournament. Since it had been a while since we were last together, I figured it would be a good time to plan a weekend get-together with some of my old roommates. We got to Vegas on Friday night and left late Monday night. We were pretty amazed by how much free stuff 4 girls can get in Vegas. Apparently, not having boys around has its perks. ;-) Here are some of the highlights from the trip:

Dinner with the boys


Exploring the hotels


Unfortunately, my camera battery died early in the trip so I don't have most of the pics. Hopefully I'll be able to post more pics as I get them from the other girls. Overall, the trip was a blast and it was fun getting to spend time with family and friends. Hopefully next time EVERYONE will be able to be there and we won't have to wait 3 years to make it happen!

The Perfect Day...

Yesterday was what I would consider an absolutely "perfect day." After sleeping in, Ryan and I got ready for the day and headed to the fruit market for some fresh fruit. After returning home and cutting up our newly purchased fruit, we headed off to Usery Pass for a hike. After a 2-3 hour hike in the perfect 85 degree Arizona weather, we came home and Ryan watched a basketball game with his brother while I sat by the pool surfing the web. After a couple of hours of relaxing by the pool in the most comfortable patio furniture in the world, we got ready and spent the evening exploring Phoenix with friends on the new Valley Metro Light Rail. Although I'm sure all of this doesn't sound exciting to most, it's pretty much what I would consider the "perfect day." If only every day could be like that...
