We don't have the internet at our house right now, we are switching providers. So I will update again when that gets fixed! Not really a whole lot to tell you about right now anyway, life is the same old boring stuff!

Valentines Day!

I have nothing really exciting to blog about this week...so I will just update you on the lives of Jared & Melanie.
Valentines came and went! We decided that we wouldn't get anything for each other this year because we had a great trip to Disneyland, and our dinner at the Blue Bayou was our present to each other. We did have Steve & Susie over for dinner and we made yummy homemade pizza. Jennie (Jared's sister) gave me a great recipe for homemade dough that is so good (if you want the recipe let me know), afterward we watched "Transformers".
I have this nasty cold so Sunday I felt like staying home from church which we did, we then went to Jared's parents to watch the NBA All-Star game even though none of our Utah Jazz players were in it! I had Monday off and stayed on the couch most of the day because of my cold...hopefully it will go away soon!

A new niece!

We got a sweet new baby niece on Monday. My brother Jeff & his wife Becca had a baby girl..and I was able to make it home from our trip. She is so cute with her little double chin & chubby cheeks. She weighed almost 11 pounds! I can't believe that she came out of her Mama. Congrats to Jeff and Becca and welcome to this crazy world Breda--we love you!

Disneyland

Friday January 30th and drove to Mesquite to stay overnight at my Dad's.

On Saturday we got up and drove to California, when we got there we went to Downtown Disney and met up with our friends Tyler & Marilyn for some dinner at the ESPN Zone.

Sunday we had our first day at Disneyland with Tyler & Marilyn. We went to lunch at the Blue Bayou restaurant that you can see when you are riding the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Jared and I stayed until the park closed at 11:00.

Monday we went to Disneyland for our second day. The park stayed open until 8:00 that night be were so pretty tired by 6:00 and called it a night. We got out the GPS and found us an In-N-Out for dinner, and a Trader Joes for stuff to bring back.

Tuesday we went to Santa Monica Pier, Malibu and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it was a once a lifetime trip. I guess I was expecting more on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it was in a rundown area and kind of scary..Jared laughed at me when I would get jumpy. We did pass through Bel Air and UCLA. We also went and had lunch at Knotts Berry Farm, yummy stuff!

Wednesday we went to Disneyland for our 3rd day, my favorite ride in California Adventure was the "Toy Story" ride, it was awesome! If you are going to Disneyland soon make sure you go on that one!

Thursday we went to eat at Johnny Rockets and then we wanted to go to a open air mall that we could get to from the bus. We waited at Disneyland for the bus for like an hour..this mall was suppose to have this really cool surf shop, which was gone! We then had to wait for another hour to get back to the our hotel...and it was raining! I had to buy an umbrella at Old Navy. It was an experience! Jared's parents made us a great dinner of Tri-tip that night.

Friday we had our final day at Disneyland. AND once again it was raining. We both bought some ponchos so we stayed kind of dry. Small World opened up this day and that was fun to ride and see the new things they had added. We stayed for a few hours and then went back to the hotel to dry out. For lunch we went to eat at the "Claim Jumper" where Jared got this huge sandwich..I wish I had a picture of how big it was. We then went back to Disneyland for a few hours and saw the "Aladdin" show for the 2nd time, went on Small World again and made it back to our room around 8:00.

Saturday we drove a day in the rain to get to Mesquite and then went to a great dinner at the buffet with my Dad.

We had a great trip! It was fun to be able to take our time at Disneyland and not rush around trying to get on everything in one day. Jared thinks next time we should just go for three days..that might be a few years!~
