Fat Man's Misery Hike - Kade Ence

Italia

ITALY!!!! Was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced, and I have seen some pretty awesome stuff. I could literally write a novel about the things I have experienced but I think I will let the pictures do the talking since there are about a million. We went to Florence, Venice, Pompeii, and Rome and words can't express how wonderful the experience was. I will just say the sites were out-of-this-world, the food was incredible, and the company couldn't have been better!
(P.S. Sorry it took me so long to post. We have been crazy busy!)
Here are a few of my fav's and I am including a link to my facebook if you want to see the rest. If you want to hear any more about the trip just ask me. I LOVE to talk about it but I don't want to bore anyone!:) Click here to see pictures

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Wow! I cannot believe it has been 4 years. How time flies. Well, since we are leaving for Italy on Thursday we really didn't want to go all out on our anniversary. So, we went to dinner at Scaldoni's and then continued the tradition of going to Chili's for dessert for some molten chocolate cake. After, we played volleyball, since that is really one of our favorite things to do together. Pretty lame I guess, but I loved it! K, here comes the mushy stuff... I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband that is there for me and provides so well for me and loves me. I know when I look in his eyes that he truly, deeply loves me and I hope he can see the same in me. The End!

Jewelry

So..Anyone who know's me very well knows how much I LOVE jewelry. My true love is the real stuff, but I also like playing with cute fun stuff too. We have a friend who makes jewelry and she is coming down. It is one of the moms of a teammate of Liz's up at Utah State so that is how we know her. She is INCREDIBLY talented and her peices are so affordable (pretty much everything is between $5 and $30) We have actually had her down before but I just wanted to let everyone know through the blogging world. She is amazing and it is so fun. She also does custom stuff so if you have something in mind and don't see it there you can just tell her and she will mail to you within the week. It is going to be at my parents house on Saturday May 15th and it will just be an open house from around 2:00 to 5:00 but if you have plans we can work with you. We will be hanging out there all day so just let me know. Leave a comment if you want the address or need my # for directions. (My page isn't private and I didn't want the whole world to know where they live and my number) Hope you all can make it!

My dream come true...

Well, as most of you probably know, Kade and I have traveled the world. It is what we love to do. It was ingrained in me as a child because I was so blessed to have parents who took me around the world to visit new cultures, learn more about my heritage, and pretty much just have a blast together. Kade started coming along with us while we were dating and has been hooked ever since. So, we both love to travel, especially out of the country, and we have been so lucky to have seen some amazing places thus far. But of course, Malorie is always wanting more. I have been telling Kade for a few years now, basically since we've been married, that I really, really want to go to Italy before we have kids. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time and I figured if I didn't go before then who knows when I would be able to go. Well, we went to a lot of other places and have had some amazing adventures and so I had basically given up on my dream and figured I would just make Kade take me when we were old and decrepit. But lo and behold, thanks to Kade and my WONDERFUL family my dream is coming true!!!! We leave for Italy on May 27th. It will be me, Kade, and my whole fam. Kade and I are STARTING to entertain the thought of having children SOMEDAY. So we all figured this could be like our last little hoorah. I know you are all probably mad at me for taking an hour to say something that could be said in one sentence but I am just so grateful for everyone in my life that is always trying to make me happy and I wanted to express that. Kade and my family are so good to me and I love them all so much. I also need to make a shout out to Teri for pushing me to try and go. Love ya Ter! Well, I guess the bottom line is it has been a little while since we went on a big trip and I couldn't be more excited about this one. Sorry for rambling. Peace out.
