St George Marathon

In October we got to go down and see Talli run the St George Marathon. It was so good to see their family we just don't see them enough! The whole family was able to go thanks to Jer! So it was a fun little getaway for the Poulsen Family. And man I have a new found respect for all those runners there is no way I could do what they did! Mostly because I lack the motivation to run haha!

Halloween 09

So a few weeks before Halloween we went to a Masquerade Ball and it was so fun! It was pretty much the only dressing up we really did this year unfortunately but we had a blast! On Halloween we just hung out with a bunch of people a played Mafia probably 7 times it was awesome! We were just having too much fun to stop.

My Birthday in Vegas!

So Josh totally surprised me with a Vegas weekend getaway back in Sept. for my birthday! He is the best husband ever and I had no idea he was even planning anything! I thought we were going camping that weekend and then he surprised me with all these tickets and fun things for our Vegas getaway. He woke me up with breakfast in bed and one of those big huge cards that plays music, and in the card was my little package of fun! We went to drop Boston off at my moms only to come outside and find Andy and Dustee in my back seat all packed and ready to go with us! That was once again another surprise. I only wish more people could have joined us because it was such a blast! Josh got us tickets to go see Phantom which was so good! Then we went to a comedy show one day, and the next day we went to the Mirage to see the dolphin and lion exhibit which were both so much fun. Those animals are so fun to watch they were all so active and playful it was the best. We spent the remainder of our time going to random casino's to get their free players cards so that we could have free slot play. We all ended up winning at at least one of the casino's we went to it was so hilarious! We also paid a visit to good old Freemont Street which was a crazy adventure in and of itself! Dust and I became very familiar with black jack for the first time, and we also became very big fans of the game! Good thing we have self control and know when to walk away. We definitely both walked away with money! It was a blast! Best birthday ever! Who says your 23rd birthday is a boring one, mine sure wasn't!

New York Trip

So I know I'm totally horrible at updating my blog but here is the other half of our Boston trip. After Boston we went to the big apple and did everything our feet would let us do. It was a lot of walking. But we went on this 6 hour walking tour that was given by a local and he just had so much knowledge of New York it was unbelievable he was so fun to listen to. We went to some fun restaurants, hung out in times square, and did some shopping of course. The highlight for me was probably Wicked! It was so amazing I only wish we could have seen more than one broadway show while we were there because it was so worth it! Then of course the Statue of Liberty was awesome. We did the audio tour on Liberty Island and it was fun to hear more about her history and the history of our early settlers in the US. My only advice about New York is don't go in the summer!! I don't handle humidity very well and it was so hot and humid I really thought I was going to die! Especially down underground in the subways you really feel like you are going to suffocate its not very fun! So go in the fall or spring you will be happier that way!

Boston Trip!!

Josh's dream vacation finally came true and we got to go to Boston to see the Red Sox play! I have never seen someone be so in love with something in my life! He was on cloud nine and I could hardly get him away from that stadium! It was so fun to be there at Fenway. We got to take a tour of the stadium and go up on the Green Monster and watch batting practice and everything it was awesome. We of course spent a lot of time at the store on Yawkey Way and bought some fun merchandise. And then of course we stayed for the game it was amazing to be there. Boston is such a fun city too we got to take a segway tour of the city and it was probably the most fun thing I have ever done! If you ever go on vacation and they have segway tours where you are going do it! Those are such a blast and it was so fun to learn the history of Boston. There is so much cool history back east!
