DISNEYLAND July 29-August 4

DISNEYLAND- Hendricks Family Reunion 2013

I got to go to my favorite place on earth with my favorite person on earth! I'm a lucky gal! We were at California Adventure and Disneyland from sun up to sun down for 4.5 days! It was exhausting, but I loved every minute of it!

Here are some pictures from our adventures:

Space Mountain..."space goggles"

Kelly pulled the sword out of the stone! Just kidding....but with his giant muscles he probably could have :)

Wakeboarding

Before our big Disneyland trip, and after moving Kasey and Amber to Spokane, we went  to Vantage and spent the evening wake boarding! Guess what?! I got up on my first try!!

Awww....cheesy, but I'm pretty sure he was proud of me! 

Yeahhhhhhh that's me

THE END IS HERE!

The semester is over!!! Hooray! One left! There is light at the end of the tunnel! This fall I will be doing my internship through BYU-Idaho at Kennedy Elementary school! I'm really excited, I love those kiddos! This semester has been crazy, 19 credits, planning a wedding (not too much, but still, the stress was there!), being Relief Society president (which was really fun), and working for the first block. I learned a lot of things this semester in all the different areas of my life-relationships, leadership, studying, etc. It was probably my most busy and stressful semester and I hated it most of the time (I do NOT recommend long distance relationships, Skype is nice, but it is still terrible!).

Here are my final grades, I feel pretty good about them, I guess that in those 2 classes I should have tried a little harder, but oh well! I tried! GO ME! Maybe next semester I will get a 4.0! 

4th of July Weekend-God Bless 'Murica

After counting down the days, it was FINALLY the day that Kelly came to visit! We had a fun weekend, super chill, but fun filled. On Wednesday we went to dinner at The Snakebite with the Pearce's. On Thursday, the 4th of July, we went to the parade with Fin and Junie, then swimming at the Sandbar with Kasey and Amber, and then we went and watched the Melaluca fireworks in Idaho Falls!

Waiting for the fireworks to start this is our "we're so excited" face!

On Friday, my parents came up and we went to the Tetons to go canoeing, Kelly had never been there before and I'm sure he got an earful about how it's the best place on earth! 

 Chillin' in the kayak! 

I have the cutest parents!

The "love boat".... I don't think Jess ever got in it...

Jess hangin' out in the canoe

Lewis and Clark style!!! Look at them Tetons (the mountains) :)

On Saturday we went down to Idaho Falls to register for our wedding! We picked out the colors we wanted for our quaint home...which we don't actually have yet... but it's going to be dang cute! If you're curious, this is what we've registered for...

I also went to my first Demolition Derby! It was a blast! Kelly went and participated in the mud run where you have to run through mud and have a chance at grabbing some money, he got a whole dollar bill!! Woot, woot!

Let Summer Begin!

FRIDAY!!!
I have the best major/minor ever, it was an assignment for me to play in the mud! I dragged Bri along to play with me so that I would know someone there... here we are partyin' it up in the mud!







SATURDAY is a special day it's the day we get ready for Sunday  THAT WE PARTY!!! Just kidding... kind of. Today was jam packed full of adventure! For my Program Management class my group (Hannah, Arleen, and Lang) put on a hike through the school. There were 20 people who paid $5 to come hike with us! We went up Moose Canyon to the Snake River outlook! It turned out really well!

I got home at 1:30, at 2 Bri and I went to Haley's soccer game (it was so hot, I thought I was going to melt). Then at 3 we went and floated the river. It was so hot at first, but at the end we were FREEEEEEZING and starving. We got home an hour late for our next adventure at the ropes course, but we still had a blast! 

 Here I am on the giant rope swing! I didn't touch the rope the whole time! It was freaky, but awesome!

Ok, I didn't hold on until I started slowing down... but that's just to take the weight off of the cords that were digging into my upper upper upper thighs...if ya catch my drift!

Here I am on the tower! Like a boss!

After all of these adventures Bri and I went and helped Virgil (Rat's fiance) at his firework stand, it was pretty exciting!

Home for the Weekend

On Friday I got home and Mom and I went out to a couple of my friends wedding receptions--just to get ideas for my own! Then we came home and had a girls night where we slept in her bed and watched "You've Got Mail". On Saturday we went up to Birch Creek Golf Course and took a tour, then we boooooked it for the wedding reception, it's going to be great! Then we went wedding dress shopping (again) and I found a dress! Thank you Rita at Belle's Bridal, you're the best wedding-dress-picker-outter! On Saturday night we went over to the Adam's house for Curtis' birthday celebration, Jo made some great cheesecake! 

Most of us cousins got together to say goodbye to Tanner and say hello to to Matt. It was great to be all together and reflect on the good ole days. 

 Jess fell asleep and I tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't wake up...so I took funny pictures of her sleeping and sent them to her--she had no idea what was happening! 

D.A. is my new buddy, I love this kiddo and apparently he loves me too. Jess decided to take pictures of him while he was sleeping and then told me to turn around and smile! Love you Lil' D!

Girls Weekend!

Every year all the girls in my family get together and go on a little vacation. This year we all went to the Pearce's house in Meridian.We had lots of fun shopping, eating, and playing.

Heading to BODO

Rockin' the microvan!

Dinner at Mai Thai

Lil' D is the first and last boy to ever come with us on our girls getaway

Trying on wedding dresses--I didn't get one, but I thought about it!

If it wasn't $900 I probably would have gotten this with a few adjustments made to it....
