Upcoming Plans for us!!

March 27th......Our Friends come to visit!!!


Our wonderful friends, Mike and Ashley, are coming out to visit us for one week!! We are sooo excited for them to come! We had so much fun with them over Christmas vacation! And they will be here for my birthday too!! They are going to stay with Jon and I, in the spare bedroom. Jon and I bought aquarium passes to the Monterey Aquarium, which is known as the best in the United States! And because we bought a year pass, we can get our friends in for free! Mike is going to bring his motorcycle out and we are all going to go for rides out here by the coast! It is the best view for a bike ride!!




April 1st......Michelle's Birthday!

I will be turning 24 !!!




April 2nd.....Michelle's Spanish Speaking Exam (Which is the final for the course)

I am sooooo incredibly nervous for this day! I can speak great just having casual conversation, but as soon as I go into a test, I get nervous and it effects my speaking. I have to get above a certain score, to get a diploma from the course. Everyone will graduate, regardless if they pass these tests or not, but in order to get a diploma, one must get certain scores!! SCARY!!!


April 7th.....Michelle's Listening and Reading Exam (Final also...)



Each of these tests is 3 hours long!!! It is very very difficult and long. Out of all the languages taught at DLI, It is said that the Spanish and Arabic tests are the hardest of all. (In other words, the Spanish test is harder than Chinese, Ruissian, Thai, Persian, French, etc!!! CRAZY!!!) Again, with this test, you have to get above a certain score to get a diploma. So the 3 main areas tested are: Speaking, Reading, and Listening.


April 12th........Jon's Birthday!!





He will be turning 31 !!!!!


April 16th.....My family will be here!! And I GRADUATE from SPANISH!!!


To be honest, I am DREADING this day. I have loved my spanish class, the teachers, and the people in it! I am going to cry when this course is over. I will miss everyone! Luckily, my best friend Cristina does not leave Monterey until June. Which is going to be another day I am going to dread!! I really dont want this day to come. lol. I am going to be SAD!!!!! But so glad that I had this wonderful opportunity that I will never get again! And I am so happy that I can now speak spanish!!
May 1st........Break time for Jon!!

Jon's course does not end until October, therefore, they have a class break that goes from May 1st thru May 10th. We are not sure what we are going to do over this break time, Maybe go home to Utah? Im not sure! But we are looking forward to this break time to spend together!!

Sometime in May, after Jon's break........LONDON (and bordering countries!) with my Family!!!!


I am soooooo excited for this! My mom has been putting together this vacation for us! Unfortunately, Jon will be back in school and will not be able to go! :( I am going to miss him, but he will get lots of nice presents from me! Not all of my family is going, just my mom and 2 sisters for now, my older brother may come but not sure! We found a great deal for flight there, and hotel. Plus we are finding that it is very cheap to go by train to bordering countries!! We will be there roughly one week! I am so excited and can hardly wait for this trip!! I have never been to Europe!

A tribute to my hubby! Not the normal kind...

I cant blame Jon for looking goofy here, because I look like a statue in the background!!



It does not matter the occassion (wedding day!) Jon always gets creative!



This one is not too embarrassing!




I dealt with this the ENTIRE time my mom was trying to take our engagement pictures! My mom could not stop laughing!!! I was trying to be all serious, but Jon had another plan!





Just another abnormal picture.....



Although he is patiently waiting for his food at the restaurant, Im wondering if he ordered the kids meal macarroni with milk in a sippy cup!



He looks WHITE.............Im TOO tan!



The funny thing about Jon is, when he is doing something that is funny-but not on purpose- I always ask him if I can run grab the camera and take a picture. He always tells me NO! As soon as I come back, he starts posing and TRYING to be funny!! I think he likes the attention. In this picture, he was simply wearing this apron, I thought it was funny and when I started taking pictures, he started acting silly on purpose! lol.





Just a normal outing with the Love's in public......






In every photo we have someone take for us, I ALWAYS try to be cute and normal, and Jon ALWAYS ruins it!!!


I'm sorry, I had to put this one on..... lol. It IS embarrassing for me!!



There are SOOO many reasons why I love my husband, but near the top of my list is his sense of humor!!! I get all of my exercise from laughing at him! He is ALWAYS doing something funny! ALWAYS! You would never ever guess that he will be turning a whopping 31 years old next month! Jon is so easy going, relaxed, and funnier than heck!! Anytime we are around family, friends, neighbors, Jon is always the goofy guy! He is a people person. I LOVE that about him. As you can see in some of the pictures, we ARE in public. Sometimes this calls for me to have to settle the man down. He has told me before how much he loves making me laugh, he never ever fails!! I live everyday looking forward to what he will do next!! I think he is going to be a WONDERFUL dad when we have kids! I had a TON of other pictures, but I had to get them approved by Jon, and he said no to the others!! ha ha! Its probably a good thing. He is a good sport by letting me put these ones on!
