ON THE ROAD AGAIN!!!

SHANE AND LIA

ROBERT AND I WERE OFF TO ANOTHER ONE OF OUR GREAT ADVENTURES. WE WENT TO PHOENIX THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR AN OLD FRIEND OF ROBERT'S WEDDING, AND WHILE WE WERE THERE MY HUSBAND TALKED ME INTO GOING TO THE PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY TO WATCH THE NATIONWIDE NASCAR RACE AND GO INTO THE PITS AND SEE ALL THE DRIVERS AND CARS. IT WAS PRETTY FUN, VERY LOUD BUT I ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE. ALSO, WHILE WE WERE THERE WE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE MESA TEMPLE, WHICH WAS FUN BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ROBERT AND I HAD GONE SINCE WE WERE SEALED. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE WEDDING ROBERT GOT TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND CATCH WITH WHAT EVERYONE WAS DOING NOW. WE FINISHED OUR TRIP BY GOING TO TWO OF THE LARGEST OUTDOOR SPORTING GOODS STORE IN THE WORLD, CABELA'S AND BASS PRO SHOP. IT WAS A LONG DRIVE BUT WE HADN'T BEEN ANYWHERE JUST THE TWO OF US SINCE OUR HONEYMOON, ALMOST A YEAR AGO, IT WAS VERY RELAXING BUT IT IS BACK TO THE REAL WORLD.

LAKE HAVASU

EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I REMEMBER GOING TO LAKE HAVASU AND VISITING MY GRANDPARENTS FOR A WEEK. SOME OF MY GREATEST MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD WERE MADE ON THESE TRIPS. LAST MARCH I HAD THE CHANCE OF SHARING THIS SPECIAL MEMORY WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. AND THIS PAST MARCH WE GOT TO GO BACK FOR ROUND TWO AND THE FIRST TIME AS A MARRIED COUPLE. WE HAD SUCH A BLAST, WE GOT TO SPEND TIME WITH MOST OF MY FAMILY (WE MISSED MY BROTHER AND SARAH DUE TO FAMILY ILLNESS.) THE TRIP WAS FILLED WITH LOTS OF ACTIVITY, WAKE BOARDING, TUBING, AND OFF ROADING. ONE DAY WE WOULD BE WALKING UNDER THE LONDON BRIDGE, AND THE NEXT DAY WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE AT AN OASIS CALLED AVI, AND FEEDING A DONKEY IN A GHOST TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A GUN FIGHT. LASTLY, RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE BOAT IN LAUGHLIN AND CARRYING FOUR CANS OF GASOLINE THROUGH A CASINO. YES, THAT IS RIGHT THERE IS NEVER A DULL MOMENT WHEN VACATIONING WITH THE SMITH FAMILY.
