Maui, Hawaii!!!!!!!!

The Rigby's took the whole family (all 9 of us) to Maui for a week! It was my first time going to Hawaii EVER! It was so amazing!!!!

We went on the most amazing boat trip around Lana'i. The captain of the boat was absolutely crazy and full of energy, even more energy than Brett! We saw some of the most beautiful sights ever and stopped to snorkel 3 times. It was my favorite part of the trip!

Our last day at the beach, Brett and I were laying on the beach watching the huge waves and one of them washed all the way up the shore and soaked us and our towels. Brennan, Melissa, Brett, and I built a moat and a sand wall around where we were laying and all 9 of us laid in it and were the only people on the beach because of how high the tide was. Building the wall was really fun!

Brett and I went out to a romantic sunset dinner. I loved watching the waves and the beautiful sunset!

I got to go to my first luau! The food was great and the show was amazing. There was a guy who danced with fire and I loved watching the girls hula... only because I tried to do it and failed miserably.

We hiked up to a beautiful waterfall.

Mike did a double backflip off the 40 foot cliff even though everyone told him not to. He hit his feet on the bottom and Brett had to carry him down the hike and he had to go to the ER. He ended up being fine, just really bruised up.

We also got to go on an amazing helicopter ride over Moloka'i! We saw where Jurrasic Park was filmed and some amazing waterfalls. It was my first ride in a helicopter and it was so much fun!

All in all, my first Hawaii experience was amazing and I had so much fun! I want to go back right now!!!!!

Update

APRIL FOOLS JOKE..... Brett didn't like it very much, I thought it was hilarious. No I am not pregnant.

Leah and I have been best friends for about a year and realized that we had never taken a picture together. The one above is our first pic together, and below is our second and third, haha. Brett slept over in Park City to go skiing so we had a really fun sleepover. It consisted of, italian food, ice cream, makeovers, and twilight. So fun!



My family and Brett's family all went skiing together last Saturday and then we went out to dinner. It was a lot of fun

We went skiing and I wanted Brett to take a video of me so that I could watch it and see what I was doing wrong. He didn't go down far enough so I couldn't get enough speed to even turn at all so I screamed "It's not fast enough!!!" Brett thought this was the best video ever because he says he has never heard me say it's not fast enough he always hears me screaming, "TOO FAST TOO FAST!" hahaha

This is a real video of me skiing. I don't know why we took videos on the last (4th to last haha) run of the day because my legs were shot, but here is a little taste of what I have learned to do in the past year...

Brett and I will be graduating this Friday and I will probably post more pics then! For now, we are just studying ALL DAY and trying to live through finals!!!!!!

Jumping extravaganza!

So Brett and I got a bunch of friends together to go to this trampoline gym. There were a bunch of trampolines and a rope that go into this foam pit (that smells like sweaty feet). There were also sumo suits and a bunch of other fun toys. There are many more pictures, but I think these pretty much sum up the whole night. I had just gotten shots in my feet so I couldn't do much, but I still had fun hanging out with my sister-in-law Melissa, my BFF Chantelle, and my friend Valerie... and of course the Rigby boys made the night very interesting.

Only 1 person broke their nose, and Brett was only bleeding from his chin and arms. Needless to say, it was a really fun night!

Update

I am still convinced that our lives aren't interesting enough to upkeep a blog! I guess I gave into peer pressure when I started it! I figured I would just give a little update on what's happening in the Rigby household:

We are both graduating from BYU in April and are so excited!!!! My whole family is coming into town, including my sister, her husband and her 3 kids, which I am ecstatic about!

Brett and I are going to Florida to live with my parents for 2 months from May-June so that I can take a pre-requisite for physical therapy school at a community college. Brett will be studying for the LSAT and volunteering, and hopefully he will be able to relax and have fun.

We are planning on driving to Florida and stopping at a bunch of fun places on the way like Nauvoo, so we are really excited about that.

We are trying to figure out what kind of food storage to get and realizing that it is so expensive! But, we are trying to work something out so that we can get our 1 year supply.

Brett got a sort of calling in our ward as the sunday school class president. He introduces the teacher and asks people to say prayers.

I have been working out really hard and have lost about 9-10 lbs and still going! I can only tell a little bit by the way my pants fit, but Brett says he can tell... so I hope all my hard work is paying off!

Brett and I went to dinner and bowling with our friends who live below us, Erin and Sam and had a lot of fun!


Anyway, hope all is well with everyone!

Valentine's Day!

First of all... I am trying to go back to being blonde, and this is my first attempt.

Brett and I had a great Valentine's day. The whole weekend was a secret to me and he refused to tell me anything. Here are some highlights.


Brett got me an ipod touch for Valentine's!....
and soon thereafter realized it might have been a bad idea because it consumed my life the whole weekend.

I had my first experience at snow blowing. It was fun.



We played in the snow for a few hours and Brett showed me the old sled run he and his brothers made behind their house.
On our way out for a Valentine's dinner.


Brett took me to Layton and we stayed in his parents house while they were in Vegas. We went out to a nice romantic dinner and had a lot of fun playing in the snow and relaxing. I love my boy!!!!!!!!!

4th folder, 4th pic

Zsana Baumann tagged me to do the following

Here are the rules:
1. Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on the computer
2. Select the 4th picture in the folder
3. Explain the picture
4. Tag 4 people to do the same
5. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc)


So I guess I cheated a little bit because my 4th folder only had 3 pictures so I chose my 5th folder. Mine isn't as interesting as Zsanas, but this is a few nights before Halloween when I was trying to figure out my Marilyn Monroe makeup. I told Brett to come into the bathroom so I could leave a kiss mark on his cheek. I had to convince him for about 10 minutes to let me do it because he is a germ freak and didn't want lipstick on his cheek, but he eventually said yes and posed for a couple of pics just like this one. I was a little bit upset after Halloween because I did my makeup the same for Halloween day, but forgot the Marilyn mole!!! Oh well.

I tag: Mindy Burns, Melissa Rigby, Jessica Chavez, and Leah McCormick.

Skiing!

So I FINALLY gave in to Bretts requests for me to come skiing with him this season. We went on Saturday and had a lot of fun. Yes I said skiing was fun... only because 1. Brett stayed with me the whole time 2. Brett didn't trick me into going on hard runs and instead let me ski the easy ones the whole time, and 3. It was a warm and beautiful day. Oh yeah and 4. Brett gave me a massage after.

Brett was so sweet. He always makes sure I am warm enough and he will buckle my boots for me, tuck in my pants, zip up my jacket, clean off my goggles, carry my skis, etc. Pretty much anything to get me to go skiing with him. I really loved going with him even though I feel bad he doesn't get to do his rodeos and backflips... or whatever they are called. Anyway, I thought I should post this as proof that I spent my Saturday skiing.
