Christmas

This year was Christmas time with the Palmer family. It was my first Christmas away from Texas! We spent Christmas Eve with Jake's dad and had tons of food! We did coconut shrimp, flank steak, chicken salad sandwiches, vinaigrette salad, and yummy Oreo balls. We all sat around the fire and played catch phrase, It's my new favorite game! I forgot how fun it was :)

On Christmas day we spent time with Jake's mom and got to see Beck and Grace have so much fun with opening presents! Jake got me all new snow clothes and a New GPS!! He did such a great job. Jake was also so happy to get new snow boarding boots (Thanks mom and dad!) and a new DeWalt drill! After the morning we went sledding, which was really fun to be able to do since I haven't seen that much snow on Christmas day!

I was so much fun to be able to spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I love this time of the year ( minus the cold) and always look forward to spending time with family :)

Thanksgiving in Park City

I Have alot of catching up to do!!

For Thanksgiving Jake and I went to Park City and spent the Holiday with my family! It was so much fun! We stayed in this amazing cabin! It had a big game room with a ping pong/pool table, Movie room, and amazing kitchen, Hot tub, every shower was a steam shower, work out/ poker room, 2 look out decks, and enough space for my big family :) Jake and I stayed in the the bunk bed room with Brittany and the Hodsons. We loved it :) It was so great to spend time with Jacquelyn, Josh and Lincoln, since they live in Texas. Thanks giving is one of my favorite holidays cause I love all the yummy food! My mom of course put on a great spread and I'm so grateful for such an amazing time we had!

The Final Countdown!!!

So we are FINALLY near the end of this endless summer! I made a little chain countdown for Jake. Every day he comes home he gets to pull off the number of sales he got! His actual goal is 305, but I put 310 just for extra motivation! I cant wait to leave California and hang up this chapter of our lives.

Bridge Jump

Stopped to take a picture

Walking down the rail road tracks

were here! and as you can see I'm sitting down cause there is no way im jumping!

The next step is jumping!

We were all at In-n-out burger and we asked his guy what is there to do around here in Modesto. He said there is a really cool bridge jump we could go to. So that day the boys in the office went to see what it was like and spend half the day there (instead of working)! So the next day they brought us! When we go there we have to walk along rail road tracks that were about 35-40 feet high! It was so scary! So once we made it to the place were you jumped i told myself I wasn't going to do it because it was soooo high! So as you can see peer pressure got the best of my and I did it! It was so fun, but the water was FREEEZING! I probably wont go back to this bridge, but at least I can say I did it! ;)

Santa Cruz

Cute little houses

We thought it would be fun to take a picture in a pyramid! haha, these girls are so much fun!

Jake buried to his neck!

The boys playing ultimate frizbee with the Santa Cruz boardwalk in the background!

Pretty sunset

So I just barley got some pictures from Santa Cruz! We went the second weekend we were out here in California. I was alot of fun, we found a cute little beach where the girls could lay out at and the boys played numerous of different games! Jake decided to have the others bury him in the sand and see if he could get out without any help! He put some goggles on to protect his eyes and it reminded of when my dad put goggles on to protect his eyes when he chainsawed the tree in my parents back yard! Haha!

Santa Cruz is such a cute little town. They have small little shops and the houses are all painted different colors, the town reminded me alot of Mykonos Greece! After the beach we went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, there were tons of rides and beach to play on! It really is so fun to be able to go somewhere different every weekend and create all these different memories!

Anniversary

My beautiful flowers


Oakland Temple, It's such a pretty place!

McCovey Cove

San Francisco from Alcatraz

I cant believe it's been a whole year! What an amazing year, i couldn't have asked for a better man to spend eternity with! He makes me so happy! We went to San Francisco and spend 2 days there. We went to Alcatraz, it was so interesting. I went when I was little and i didn't really remember much so it was cool to be able to go back. After that we went to the Hotel and got dresses for dinner and the play. We went to this amazing restaurant called First Crush! I got the rib eye and Jake got the Lamb, it was honestly the best food we have had at a restaurant in a LONG time! If your ever there we definitely recommend it! After dinner we headed over to the Orpheum Theatre and went to see Wicked!!! I was amazing!!!:) The next day we went to the Giants game! It was such a great game! The Giants were behind the whole game then in the 6th inning they hit a Grand Slam!! After that the Rockies couldn't come back and The Giants won 9-5. It was such a cool stadium right on McCovey Cove, I'm so glad i can check that one off my list :) It was such a great weekend and I'm so glad i got to spend it with Jake! I love you!
