Good Times

It's been a while, but no excuses, I just haven't been into the blogging. I haven't even been reading other blogs. But I figured I would give a quick run down of what we've been up to.

Monday, was the 4th of July, as you all know. Brad and I couldn't find really much of anything happening in Monterey. Come to find out the Monterey area really sucks when it comes to celebrating 4th of July, so don't come, it's not worth it. We ended up in Spreckles, which is a super cute small town and they had a festival and parade in the morning. It was fun, it kept us busy in the morning.


Monterey is also probably one of the only places on the continental US that you can wear jeans and a sweatshirt all day on the 4th of July. So, I guess if you want a break from the hot places you live, then it's a good place to vacation in the summer. After the parade, we went a saw Green Lantern. I enjoyed it. It kept me entertained and I pretty much love Ryan Reynolds, so extra plus for me. Oh, and if you haven't seen the movie yet, you should stay after for the first credits because it sets up the sequel, but once the rolling credits start you can leave, nothing else comes up after that.

Last weekend was also the first weekend of our new hobby. If you haven't figured out by now, Brad and I are pretty much adrenaline junkies, if we can't die doing it then it's not really something we want to do (just kidding mom...kind of...). So, our latest interest, breathing under water.

Yep, we are taking scuba diving lessons to be open water certified for up to 60 feet! We have two more weekends worth of classes then we have our first official ocean dive, which I am both excited for and scared out of my mind for! It's hard to take pictures since we're in the water together, but I managed to get a few from last weekend.


Saturday after our first lesson we headed to a Soccer game in San Jose for the Earthquakes. They had fireworks after the game which is good since we didn't get to see fireworks at any other point that weekend. It was interesting. I was very educated about Soccer, since this was my first ever game, professional or otherwise.


The month of June was full too, we had a friend's wedding, followed by Rodeo weekend, then Father's day which Brad and I were separated. Brad was running the Wasatch Ragnar with family and friends. I was celebrating my niece and nephew's birthdays and Father's day with my family. We then went to see a performance by Brian Regan which was fun. And that pretty much brings us up to date.

This weekend we are headed to Santa Cruz tonight for the free music and to hopefully pick up our scuba equipment for our class. Saturday we will be at Laguna Seca for a race. Then Sunday I leave for training for a week. Good times!
