1st ANNIVERSARY

                                        HAPPY ANNIVERSAY MR. AND MRS. SHIRA!

This year we both learned to be unslefish and to take care of each others needs.
We didn't have much planned until I got my paycheck. I texted Mitch and said Lets get away this weekend, of course he agreed.

Part one to our weekend. Fri 8/24

    My husband is a big meat eater and has never been to Tucanos... so guess where we went? He was in HEAVEN! He even started passing up the chicken cause he just wanted the beef. I on the other hand had both and asked they keep the pineapples coming. One of the men coming around with the meat I happend to know and we enjoyed chatting with him. With no room for desert we went to Macys and bought 2 Martinellis and The Hunger Games.
Part two Sat 8/25

     After Mitch ran some errands he picked me up from work and we packed up a bag. By 3pm we were on our way to Logan UT. Once near Logan we got stuck on the Highway due to a big accident, So we didn't arrive to our destination until 5.
     Our favorite place is called THE ANNIVERSAY INN. We recomend it to all who want a getaway.  When we parked I noticed smoke coming from the engine, turns out the Radiator hose blew a hole and was leaking in the perfect spot to make it smoke. So we ignore it while we sign in and go to our room.

We stayed in the Pirate room, it was so COOL!!! One wall appeard to have had a cannon ball go through it and get stuck on the opposite wall. We had our own private staircase. the bed by the door and bathroom, Jet tub in the middle of the room and TV on the far side. It was AWESOME!!






Shortly after seeing the room we left to buy a new hose and on our way to the auto shop the brakes started to grind. GREAT! now we have to get new brakes! We were worried and unhappy.
One quick stop to the Logan temple grounds and we were content. Mitch bought me a gift. A Willow tree figure titled HOME. I love it!

Back at the Inn we had the complimentary sparkling cider and watched Hunger Games which I fell asleep watching. When I woke up we ate at IHOP!! Then returned and neither of us slept very well, It was not our bed.




Sun 8/26 Our Anniversary
 Breakfast in bed,  and then a martinelli with cheese cake while we watched a movie of our wedding day. What a great way to start our anniversary. After we got ready for the day signed out we picked a random church and went to their sacrament. Following we made a stop at our brothers inlaws house to visit and fix our car.
Upon arrival to our surprise Mitchels bro Bryson was in UT with his two kids!!! We really enjoyed eating dinner with them and playing with our neice and nephew. We also went down to what they call the Hollow (area with a stream and trees). At the Hollow we had smores.
We are so greatful to have had the chance to visit with them and go on our getaway. It may be a long time before we get to do something like that again.

Ketch up

Just wanting to "ketch up" on my blog.

Mitch is hard working at Dowdle Folk Art, They have him working a lot of over time doing shipping and deliveries and getting things ready for shows.  thats okay though because I have started a temporary job until the baby is born at Devcon security so i'm pretty busy as well. I just finished two weeks of training for customer service and am still getting used to the ropes.

At our last doc appointment the baby's heart rate went down by 10 so now it is at about 153. My sister vanna says slow rate is a boy and a fast rate is a girl. We will just have to wait and see. Sept 11th we will find out the gender and it cant come any faster!!!!

Mitchel's+me, Mom, And 4 brothers+ friend all went to LAGOON!!! it was planned before we found out we are prego so I went anyway. luckily I got a free ticket so I didn't have to pay to sit around. I enjoyed watching everyone have fun and observe those at the park. Don't worry I didn't do anything crazy at the park, my doc said no. So I went on the rides allowed such as the Ferris Wheel, the terror ride, count dracs ride, the ride that takes you across the park and swimming. I went on rattle snake rapids and yes I did go a little crazy and rode the bat one time and was done.
We all had a great time at lagoon.
In my opinion I think Lagoon needs to rid themselves of their Smoke stations. they are placed in dumb places where you can't avoid them. I wish people would step outside the park to smoke.

Sat my Sisters Cookie+ fam, and Ldybug+hubby, all met at City Creek Center to chill and eat because none of us had ever been there. We had a great time,  I truly cherish the moments with my sisters.

Our 1st Anniversary is coming up fast, there is so much we would like to do but not alot of money to spend or time with my work sched. We will see what happens though.

Hope this post wasn't too boring.

Scuba Diving

This past Saturday we had a Henderson Family Reunion at a LDS camp site in Heber, where I got to meet more family and get to know others better.
Yummy food was involved as well as an interesting program full of songs and bird stories, grandpas old acordian, movies of bush jumping, and banjo playing. Games like frisbee, baseball, football, penny hunt for the little kids as well as nail polish. It was quite fun and nice to see family.

Our cousin Rob and his wife Heather had extra spots open, for a group going scuba diving at a place called The Crater. It is located in Midway inside an old volcano. So Mitch, Kade, cousin Tyce and friend all got to go Scuba Diving. As badly as I wanted to join I only got to soak my feet in the hot spring water.
The instructor Ed was pretty cool. Usually you are only supposed to go about 40 feet down, these guys went 55feet down and the farthest you can go is about 60feet. Kades Goggles lense broke at about 40feet down so the instructor gave him his and returned to the surface for more. At one point of time they saw the instructor swim through some rings so they all thought it was play time and split up! :) the instructor had to keep flashing his light to get all their attention, but he sure enjoyed this group!!
I hope that someday I get to join these guys in doing this.
