Spring Break


Aaron and I wanted to go somewhere like New York, or on a cruise for Spring Break but decided that wasn't really in the budget. Plus we thought it would be nice to spend time with family. Lucky for us Aaron's family was going to Disneyland which is by far our favorite vacation spot and--for those of you who don't know--where Aaron proposed to me. It was such a blessing to get to spend time together with his family. I wish I would have taken some more pictures, but here are a couple from Splash Mountain.

Thank goodness for ponchos, who would have thought!? The Helvig's are always prepared (and by Helvig's I'm talking about the in-laws). My favorite were the "cheating" comments we got from the other people in line who were obviously bummed they hadn't thought to bring ponchos.

Aren't they cute! I love Doug and Patty. Sorry Alana, for some reason we didn't get a picture of you :(



The is "our" beach. The day after Aaron proposed we sat here and talked about our future for hours. So special! And above are the seagulls who are trying to get their beaks on a piece of my burrito.



I am pretty impressed with this shot! It only took us 40 tries to get the sun in the right spot. Good thing I have supper long monkey arms!

Hey, I saw your blog on Katie V's and wanted to tell you that I just got a per dium position at MVRRH and I heard that you're doing your externship there! (Hopefully that's true.) Anyway, I start training next week so we'll be learning the ropes together. I hope we get to work together some but I don't know what my schedule will be like there yet. Congratulations on graduating soon!

That looks like so much fun! Especially since that's where he proposed. How are things?? Life any less hectic right now? I haven't been up to Flag but hopefully I'll get to see you semi-soon!
