Vacation Time

We recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon and St. George. While out we made several stops along the way. My favorite stop was in a fine dinning restaurant in Phoenix. We were seated by the biggest tweaker in the entire metropolitan area. Did i mention this was a Denny's, anyway not important we ordered our side salads and drinks while looking over the exceptional menu. wow we were really living it large while on vacation. We were finally asked what we would like to eat and when a request for no onions on a burger was made the response from our tweaker friend was,"this is Denny's hun, not sizzler" did she really set sizzler on such a pedestal? can you say red flag! anyway things progressively got worse we ate the food that was brought forgot about the food that never came went without drinks, utensils, napkins, and all other luxury's paid the bill and left. While walking out to the cars we talked about our less than pleasant experience we were not more than two feet from our car when i heard a shrill rotten gum line voice. it was our tweaker, she firmly stated you all didn't leave my tip! O....im still not sure how to respond. I thought i was participating in a drug deal.

Not to worry this dinner experience did not set any sort of tone for the remainder of the tip. We had a great time. My family was kind enough to humor me as i unloaded my motorcycle to make the trip from Phoenix to Flagstaff.
We Eventually made it to the grand canyon where we look at a large hole. really!! We had a great time, Steve Jenk's really enjoyed the view's it was fun to be there with the Jenks family. Denise was kinda done after the 3rd. stop it could have had to do with the fact that she was 7.5 months prego but who really knew. Ive been married for two years and Ive learned the biggest marriage saver don't try and understand. now you would think i would learn to not blog about this.....In all reality Denise was a great sport and participating in all activities which was alot of fun. we both enjoyed the time together and the spectacular views. St.
St. George was really awesome it was great to be with family, I'm extremely grateful to Grandma Snow for gathering the family each year. What a cool lady. there is alot more to tell however im a bloggin virgin and im board at this point so until next time.

Our New Place!

Ryan and I have just moved into a new place we are no longer living with Mary Lou Ryan's Grandma. We are so grateful for her for letting use stay with her for the first 8 months of our marriage. We couldn't have done it without her. But we decided it was time for us to get a place of our own and we love it. Our new place has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big living room, dinning area and a nice size kitchen with a laundry room next to that. Plus we have tones of storage that we have no idea what we are going to do with. A garage for Ryan and all of his tools and toys. The backyard is a great size for Toby to run around and get all of his energy out. Our new place has become the hang out spot for my side of the family since my mom is renting the front of her house out. It has been nice to make it our own place and use all of the things we got from the wedding that we were not able to use before.

New Addition to our Family!

So Friday May 8th Ryan and I got a PUPPY and his name is Toby, he is so cute. Jon, Lisa and Kyle were all with us when we got him. Kyle told us that night that if we didn't get him then he would because he was falling for him too. Ryan new that night that we were going to get him because he could tell in my eyes, but he liked him just as much. We just love his personality he loves to cuddle and sit on our laps while watching TV. When he is running around in the house or outside he trips over his ears it is so cute. He already has a favorite and that would be Ryan. Whenever he comes home from work he goes right to him no mater what he is in the middle of doing. When we are watching TV he wants to cuddle with Ryan, and he loves it. Ryan has tough him how to play fetch and he will bring it right back to the person who throw it. Right now we are trying to potty train him but don't know exactly how we are going to do that. If anyone has any advice please share we would love to hear it. I will try to put a picture up tomorrow I will have to get a CD made and upload it from work. Right now Ryan and I don't have internet at our new place.

Our first Christmas as Mr. and Mrs. Lang

This year was mine and Ryan's first Christmas together as a married couple. Pat my youngest brother asked if he could spend it with us and we were more then happy to have him with us. Christmas Eve we went to Ryan's parents to spend sometime with them and had a nativity done by Tiffany's family, they were so cute. Then Christmas morning we opened gifts at our house with Pat then went over to the Lang's for breakfast. After we were done with that we headed out to my sisters to spend some time with my family for the holidays. It is always nice being with family for the holidays. Pictures will be posted soon, I need to figure out how to put them up.
