Spring Break San Diego Vacation Sea World Day 2

So our next day in San Diego we went to Sea World which is one of my favorite places to go while there and I was so excited to take Jared for his first time! The first show we watched was the dolphin show, which I loved cause my second favorite animal next to the elephant is the dolphin:)

Then we went to the polar section of the park and saw all the animals that live in the ice cold parts of the planet. The polar bear was not very happy that day and was wailing and pacing the whole time we watched him.

The next show we went to was my favorite show that Sea World does and it is Seymore and Clyde the sea lions. I was really disappointed because they used to have this big old walrus in the show and he must have dies or something cause he was not there. But they still had the cute little otter:)

While waiting for the Shamu show to start we enjoyed another one of my favorites, CHURROS!!!! YUM! We sat in the super soak splash zone and we did not get one drop of water on us the entire show!

This is Jared and I before we went on the Atlantis ride:)

and then this is us soaking wet after:)

To finish our day we went to Jared's favorite the shark caves. He could stay in there for hours and just watch the sharks swim around.

and that completed our day at Sea World!

Spring Break San Diego Vacation San Diego Zoo Day 1

I know these are a few months late but for Spring Break this year we went to San Diego to visit Jared's brother Jacob and to get away from our crazy lives back home in Cedar City. The first day we were there we went to the San Diego wild animal park which is like a branch off the zoo with mostly african animals.

Me and Jared waiting in the car for Jacob so we can go to the zoo!:)

They were walking a cheetah through the park on a leash next to a dog! You don't see that every day!

Mom and baby rhino. Aw!!! they were so cute!

Mom and baby zebra! this baby was born less than 24 hours ago. I could not believe we got to see a baby zebra that young!

Of course Baby giraffe's and some cool birds:)

A very rare rhino that has double horns and has to get one of them trimmed by the vet because the top one puts too much weight on the bottom one.

Mom and baby zebra again:) this is a litte better picture than the one before.

These big fellas were used anchiently in competitions to see who could raise the bull with the biggest horns.

And then I am not going to explain alot of the other animals but I will put pictures of them cause they are fun to look at:)
And then there was the warthog that they had trained to sit and do all sorts of tricks!!1 Hakuna Matata

And then last but not least at the zoo, we got to see my favorite animal EVER! ELEPHANTS!!! they were so fun to watch and had the cutest little babies that love to play. I could have stood there and watched them for hours and hours and hours!!!!!

This big guy was so fun to watch spray water on himself. I have never seen an elephant really do that!

Here is my favorite tiny little baby elephant. He was way smaller than all the other baby elephants and was so cute and fun to watch:)

This last one the little baby started running towards this big one spraying himself off with water and he scared the little baby back to his mommy. I LOVE elephants:)!!!

And then to end our day at the San Diego Zoo I made Jared pretend he was a bat:) hahahaha

Ice Trees on the way to Clearfield

On our way to see Jared's family after he proposed we stopped in Beaver to get some squeaky cheese from the dairy and  ran into these way cool ice trees.

I am getting old look at those crows feet! ha ha

We Are Engaged!

All of you all probably already know but we are engaged and are getting married on July 15, 2011!!!! and then leaving the country to go on our honeymoon to CANCUN!!! I am counting down the days! 112 more to go! YAY!!
So here is the story of how Jared proposed and how unromantic I made the moment :) ha ha ha
On January 7th 2011 I was working at the hospital and Jared's car was broken or something so we were sharing mine at the time and so he had to come get me from work. When I called him and told him I was ready he told me he had run out of gas and that he would be a little while so I just sat there patiently completely believing that he ran out of gas cause my ghetto car does that frequently! So he came and got me and we went to my house and when I walked in there were candles all over the living room and kitchen and some beautiful pink roses on the counter.

I thought Jared was just being cute so I started hugging and kissing him and he kept like trying to push me away and I could not figure out why and then he got down on one knee and the first words out of my mouth were "Jared if you think this is a joke, I don't think it;s very funny!" so then he just kept talking and I don't remember exactly what he said but it was sooooooo........... cute:) and then he pulled out the ring and I started crying and he asked me to marry him and I said YES!!! I was honestly so surprised I was not expecting it to happen anytime soon.

This is my absolutely beautiful ring! I love it so much:)
After he proposed we went to dinner with our friends Bridget and Travis Larson for Bridget's birthday. We went to Milt's steakhouse and there was some nice bucks eating right outside the window of where we were eating.

I can't wait to be married to my best friend!!!
