Well, it's summer and we still like our little fluff-ball Royal. He's a fun dog that loves to play but isn't too much work. I also tried to go on a run with him and he lasted about 4 blocks until he wanted to walk, so him and Natali and are great running buddies. </div>

Our tradition of going to see fireworks up in Allen on the weekend before the 4th of July is always fun. Natali had to fly to Germany for work and would miss the 4th of July this year so it was nice to be able to go with her so she could still see some fireworks. And Royal is not afraid at all of the fireworks which is nice. He just wants to run around and lick everyone's face, and he would if we didn't keep him on a short leash. </div>

So while Natali was off in Germany, Royal and I walked over to our neighborhood 4th of July parade. It was pretty hot out, but Royal seemed to enjoy seeing all the people walk by. </div>

So while Natali was getting massaged and sitting in the spa, before she left she had committed to hosting a work summer get-together at our house. It was a 4 course dinner, where appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks were each at a different house. Well we were the dinner house, and I prepared all the food. We hired some help the day of to help cook but I did all the prep work and most of the cooking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We prepared Huli-Huli chicken, Hawaiian Pork with rice, baked veggies, and grilled pineapple. I had to prep everything the night before and it was quite the undertaking. I called my mom and got a bunch of her tips for everything and luckily it seemed to have turned out really well. We decorated the backyard with Tiki torches and sprayed for mosquitoes and luckily we had great weather and no mosquitoes. </div>

On of my (failed) projects over the summer was to try to get some tomatoes and cucumbers to grow. We have a lot of shade in our backyard so my thought was to build a grow box on wheels and move it so that it would be in the sun for longer... Well it didn't work. It was too heavy to move, the wheels were too small, and the backyard was too muddy. Gotta think of something better for next year. </div>

Natali here. I'm handling this blogpost instead of Reed since some of the photos are from my own time in Germany before Reed came out to join me. 2017 was full of many trips to Germany for work but this post will focus on one of my two week work trips in May that I extended by half a week so that Reed and I could travel around a bit. In my first week in Frankfurt, they were having their annual "Green Sauce Festival." The festival is all about celebrating this famous creamy green sauce that goes on meat, potatoes, and pretty much anything. Don't even ask me what's in it because I have no idea but it's delicious. Isn't this meal below just about the most German-looking meal you have ever seen? I got this at the Green Sauce Festival and it was delicious.</div>

One of my first stops every time I'm in Europe is at a supermarket for cheese and chocolate. There is just something about Europe, cheese and chocolate that really brings me a silly amount of happiness. I remember one night towards the beginning of this trip when I found myself sitting in my cozy bed in the hotel room with chocolate in one hand and cheese in the other and I thought to myself "I can't believe I'm getting paid to be on this trip...this is the life." ;-D.</div>

It can get lonely on work trips but sometimes it can be nice to get some quiet alone time. During this trip, I ate at an incredible french restaurant alone and it was one of the most incredible meals of my life. There is something kind of cool about just eating in silence and focusing only on the delicious flavors of the meal. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Over the weekend on this trip, I also was able to get away from Frankfurt to experience the legendary Brenner's Spa in Baden Baden. The spa was awesome but the best part was the beautiful pool (pictured below) that opened up into a garden right next to the river that runs through Baden Baden. Baden Baden translates to "bath bath" and it's actually a very famous spa and bath house town. But be careful, all the spas have dual-gender areas and if you accidentally venture into them (like I did), you may see some sights you NEVER wanted to see (and those sights might still give you nightmares years later haha). Below are some pictures from spa day and tour of Baden Baden.</span></div>

And now for the fun part when Reed came to join me in Germany.... We started in Frankfurt but Frankfurt is not very picturesque so soon after Reed arrived, we headed out to Strasbourg in France. Reed found a charming little bed and breakfast for us to stay in outside of Strasbourg while we explored some of the adorable towns along the Alsace wine route.</div>

First up on our Alsace win tour was Riquewihr. It's a very cute little fairytale town with both French and German influences. It definitely felt more touristy than some of the other towns we saw but it's great for pictures so we took a lot! Here are some of our favorites:</div>

Many of these little fairy-tale style towns are top destinations for the Christmas market tourists in the winter so they often have little Christmas stores like the one above open all year long and the decorations are always gorgeous. As shown below, we stopped for a "small" lunch before moving on. We got cheese and potato dishes (with a little salad), as those are pretty safe bets in these areas.</div>

After Riquewihr, we moved on to Eguisheim. If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping in this town and walking around because it is adorable and the perfect French fairytale town. Also, as you can see below, they have insanely large birds nesting at the tops of their churches that are also pretty cool to see haha.</div>

After Eguisheim, we went down to one of the most beautiful French cities I've ever seen: Colmar. If we did this trip again, we would stay in Colmar instead of Strasbourg. We thought it was a lot cuter and did not feel like we had even close to enough time to see it (though that was partly due to the fact that we did this whole trip in just a few days since I'd already been gone for two weeks when Reed arrived).</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">After Heidelberg, we drove to Rothenberg aub der Tauber. We made it just in time for the Night Watchman Tour. He was great. He told us about the history of Rothenberg and the stories were fascinating. It is such a beautiful little town and I highly recommend spending the night there because they close the city gates at night so the only tourists there are the ones actually staying within the walls. It makes for some beautiful night photos.</span></div>

That night we headed to Wurzburg. In Wurzburg, we ate at an incredibly delicious restaurant that had no menu--you just ate whatever the chef was making that day. It was so fun and yummy! Then later that night, I tried to take some night photos and was getting frustrated that cars kept pulling into my shot. But then I realized I could probably do something cool with that so here is my night bus shot that I'm pretty proud of :-):</div>

On April 19th, I turned 30!!! Holy cow I'm getting old. Natali totally spoiled me. First she set up a big get-together at Top Golf with a bunch of friends and had a delicious cake there. She also spoiled me with presents giving me some awesome Noise Canceling headphones as well as a drone to get some awesome video footage! </div>

After 18 months of serving the people in France, Tracie came home! So we headed to St George to see her again! We are sure going to miss reading all the great stories and experiences that Tracie shared every week, but glad she made it home. </div>

At the end of April I headed to Arizona for the annual Black River trip to do some fishing and camping and have a good time. I got to play around with my new drone and made a pretty sweet video. Also, I am trying to get into some more photo editing so I tried some different edits on the pictures. Some I think I went a little too far, but it is fun to play around with different edits and see how awesome everything is. </div>

And another annual tradition: the crawfish broil that a few friends put on. I'll have to get some better pictures next year but they have these huge pots with crawfish, potatoes, corn, and sausage and they cook them all together with some awesome seasonings and then dump them out on the table and everyone comes and devours it all. It is amazing. </div>

Christmas is Natali's favorite time of year. She starts playing Christmas music in November (I try to get her to play Thanksgiving music but that never works) and starts asking about putting up the tree as soon as Halloween is over. This year, I was able to hold off until after Thanksgiving so that was a win for me ;). </div>

My parents flew out to see us at the beginning of December. We had to continue our annual tradition of going to look at the Ice Sculptures at the Gaylord Texan and took them to go see everything. The theme was scenes from the classic movie "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." It is always amazing to see all the scenes made completely of ICE!!! And don't forget that we get to wear the stylish blue coats they give us so we don't freeze. </div>

By the end of it all, we were all freezing and ready to get out. But the end is the best part. A crystal clear ice Nativity scene. It is so peaceful and amazing to see the large scale Nativity Scene in something so pure and clean (very symbolic if you ask me). Sadly pictures don't do the real scene justice. The detail and magnitude of the scene are amazing. </div>

One of the reasons my parents came out to visit was to pick up the little Mazda that Natali had named Alice. Natali was sad to say goodbye to Alice. Her parents bought her the car as a reward for getting a full-ride scholarship to BYU and maintaining it so she had a LOT of memories in this car. </div>

The other preparation was getting him trained to fit in his little airline carrier. We worked with him for a few weeks before we left so he liked going in the little bag. It got to a point where if we had the bag out, Royal would just go and sit inside of it, so mission accomplished. </div>

Well looking back through our pictures and about 90% of them are of Royal. You could probably say we are a little obsessed. He also has his own Instagram account so if you want to follow him you can follow him <a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalthepomsky/">@RoyalthePomsky</a> and see all of his pictures there as well. <span id="goog_1733993479"></span></div>

Fall was coming around and that also meant football season was back! BYU's first game happened to be at the University of Phoenix Stadium against Arizona, so a bunch of us Crosbys decided to get together and go to the game. We had some time before the game so we went to Top Golf and had some food and played some golf. Dad, Mark and Kaemon, Chad, Bret and Kingston, Barry, Ryne and I all had a great time swinging some golf clubs around and enjoying the Arizona fall heat. </div>

Natali and I decided to take a long weekend and went to Washington D.C. to see the sights. There is so much to see everywhere you turn. I do want to say that when we were planning the trip I saw that a lot of the sites were along the National Mall. On a map, it seems so small and close together. Once you get there, you realize that it is HUGE and if you plan to walk back and forth a bunch during your stay then you are going to get very tired. So, strategic planning is definitely recommended. </div>

We booked a food tour, but it also included some history of the city, focusing in the Georgetown area. The food tour included going to a taco restaurant, a crepe restaurant, a Korean restaurant, and ending in grabbing some dessert at Baked and Wired. The gem of the food tour was definitely the taco restaurant, called Chaia. It is a vegetarian taco place, which may not sound appealing at first, but it was delicious. So delicious that we had to go back the next day and order more food. Definitely one of those unique places we would never try on our own but will definitely go back if we ever go back to DC. The creamy kale and potato taco was just amazing. </div>

We then headed over to the Newseum to check it out. Our favorite exhibit had to be the collection of Pullitzer Prize photos as well as background info and insights into what went into the pictures. It was amazing to read what the photographers had to do in order to get the picture, and it made the picture even that much more amazing. Other exhibits included the history as well as parts of the Berlin wall and an interactive news room where you become the reporter, </div>

Next on the list was the Capital Building and the Library of Congress. We had to wait a little in a line to get in, but eventually we made our way in and took a tour of the Capitol Building. Then we headed over to the Library of Congress through one of the underground tunnels. Apparently twice a year, they open the main reading room to the public and it just so happened that we were visiting on one of those days so we went in and took advantage of it being open. Natali even got some reading of her own in. </div>

We took a stroll over to Arlington area and went to see the US Marine Corps War Memorial and the Arlington Cemetery. It is a very humbling experience to see the iconic memorial, and then head over and see the rows and rows of gravestones of the men and women that gave everything for this country. It is a little overwhelming and definitely a good reminder of how we have all the fredoms and rights that we have. </div>

And the last stop was a stop at the Museum of American History that had all sorts of random things stored away for us to see. Natali really wanted to see the Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz. They had other things like Apolo Ohno's skates, Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves, and a bronze cast of Abraham Lincoln's face. We had a great time visiting DC and definitely need to come back as there is SO much more to see. </div>

Back in Dallas we got some visitors when Randi and Shane came out to see us! We had to take Shane to see all the sites that Randi had been talking all about from her visits. So, of course we went to the Stockyards and also to the Texas State Fair to get all the fried food we could handle. At the Stockyards Randi needed to buy a hat, but the only one she could find that fit her had a bottle opener on it. we sure had a lot of fun because of that hat. </div>

So Natali and I had been debating whether or not we should add a little puppy to our family. I've wanted to get a dog since we moved into the house. But I wanted a manly dog, and Natali wanted a little purse dog. So, we started looking at Pomskies (half pomeranian/half husky) because I love huskies. So I started sending pictures of pomskies to Natali, and eventually we decided to start looking. We came across these pictures of this little guy...</div>

And after just a few pictures and a little video that they sent, we just had to get him. So we took the plunge (with a little nudging from Randi I might add). The problem was that he was in Wisconsin. So, they suggested a puppy nanny fly out to Dallas and bring him to us. Here he is on his first big adventure.<br />

We were very nervous picking him up, especially Natali. She thought maybe we were making a big mistake and maybe she wouldn't even like him and then what would we do... But here we are at the airport and the first moments with him... </div>

After some discussion, we decided the best name for him was Royal. So I present to you, Royal the Pomsky. Warning, this post is a picture overload of fluff and cuteness. If you can't handle that, stop now. You have been warned. </div>

So here are a few facts about Royal:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Royal is a 2nd Generation Pomsky, which means both of his parents were pomskies. This is pretty rare, but it helps keep the size down so Royal had a higher chance of being on the smaller size of pomskies. The first picture is his dad, and the 2nd picture is his mom on the right.</div>

3. The first night with Royal rolled around and he was one tuckered out little guy. He was so cuddly and just curled up in our arms and slept. Natali was so happy thinking that we got a really cuddly puppy, but it didn't last long. It seems it was a one night occurrence. In fact, he doesn't often like to cuddle (unless he is licking your face) and when he does it is short lived, but he does seem to be getting a little more cuddly as he grows up. But we still love him even though he is not a cuddler ;-)</div>

6. After the first day of following me around, Royal decided I wasn't as cool as he initially thought. He found a new favorite person, Natali. Boy does he love her. She is pretty dang fond of him too. When Royal hears the door open when Natali comes home he just waits at the top of the stairs. Every night it is a big reunion and Royal acts like he hasn't seen her in weeks. </div>

11. Royal's Favorite days are Saturdays. He loves going on walks, going to the dog park (he was a little nervous at first), and going out to see people. He is a little superstar and gets stopped everywhere he goes (people literally ask to take selfies with him). We went to an outdoor art festival and we couldn't walk 10 steps without being stopped. We also came across this BIG dog and Royal was not sure what to think about it. </div>

Natali's favorite part of Saturdays is at the end of the day after we go out and Royal gets tired. On the car ride back, Royal gets really cuddly and falls asleep in her arms. </div>

12. One thing Natali was really hoping that Royal would howl like a wolf. So we tried and tried to get him to howl but nothing worked. One day we were trying to teach him a new trick to "dance" and he started howling up a storm. After that, he would howl whenever we would say "Dance". Eventually we were able to change it so that he howls when you ask "What do you think of France?" He is the cutest little howler.</div>

First trip to the Vet. He was such a good boy. He weighed only about 6 pounds on his first visit--he has fattened up bit since then...though the additional weight definitely comes at least in part from quite a lot of added fluff ;-).</div>

And because I couldn't decide which pictures to put, here are a bunch of other cute pictures of Royal in his puppy days. He is just adorable. He sure stole our hearts from the first day he came into our lives. He is super sweet and just loves to meet new people. He thinks everyone he meets is a new best friend :-).</div>

Well, after getting a cowboy hat and some cowboy boots and a cowboy belt buckle, I needed an opportunity to wear them. Luckily, Natali's law firm had an event out in Fort Worth when we went to the world's largest honky tonk, Billy Bobs. If you've never heard of or been to Billy Bobs, it is a huge dance hall with all kinds of events, concerts, and other things to do. So we went and got our square dance on, watched a little rodeo, and then went to the concert. </div>

Ever since we have been married Natali has been wanting to get a piano. When we bought the house, we always planned to put a baby grand piano in the front room. So we found this beautiful baby grand online and got it inside the house. An added bonus is that this piano has a PianoDisc IQ Player, meaning that it can play music through an Ipad or computer. It is pretty awesome!<br />

And Randi came out again to visit. We are starting to run out of things to do with her, but we can usually find something. Here we are at the downtown Dallas cattle drive.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Dinner in Sorrento</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We drove to Sorrento and made reservations at a seafood restaurant right on the coast. GPS in Europe is always interesting, especially once you get into smaller towns. You never know whether you are driving on an actual road or just a walkway as they both look about the same and the GPS sometimes can't tell the difference. Well getting to the restaurant was one of the times it sent us in a direction and wanted us to drive and a walking path rather than a road. We had reservations so Natali jumped out while I backtracked and tried to find a road and a place to park. I was rushed but I found a place to park.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The restaurant was very fresh seafood. Natali picked out the crab she wanted to eat and I picked a catch of the day that was delicious. We were feeling a little adventurous and decided to try the mussels as well. Natali loved eating them like a French person and picking them out with another mussel shell.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't get out of the restaurant until about 10:30 and we headed back to the car. I had to park a little off up the hill, and I want to remind everyone that I was in a RUSH so I kind of parked in the first place I could find. When we got to the parking lot, all we found was a large wall and a huge metal gate that was CLOSED!!! Nobody was in sight and there was no sign or anything we could find to contact someone on how to open the gate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We didn't know what to do, we were tired, and ALL of our luggage was still in the car so we couldn't even just leave it until the morning. We thought we caught somewhat of a break when an Australian couple walked down the hill and told us there was an entrance to the parking lot but it was up at the top of the hill at a hotel but there was a path down that led to the parking lot. We were very skeptical, but we had no other leads or ideas so we hiked up the hill to the hotel. But when we go to the hotel, they had no idea what we were talking about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So Natali sat down in the lobby of the hotel, while I tried to find that path that the couple told us about. By this time it is close to midnight and I am starting to panic a little. I look for the path and finally find something that appeared to head in that direction. I thought I had found it! I could see the parking lot getting closer and then I exited the path... onto the road back where we started right in front of the closed metal gate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At this point I just thought we were out of luck and were just going to have to wait until the door opened in the morning. Then I had one last idea. There was another hotel a little closer to the restaurant. So I decided to talk to them and just see if they knew anything. Well... it turned out that was their parking lot and they could open the gate! I asked how much it would cost and they asked when I had parked and then told me it would be 4 Euros. I told them after that I would have paid as many Euros as they had asked to get the car at that point because I was desperate. But they gladly opened it and I was able to go pick up Natali and head back to our place for the rest of the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, moral of the story, be careful where you park in Europe. Being in a hurry could cost you later. </div>

The next day we got onto a boat and went over to visit the island of Capri. The island is a little piece of paradise. It is very small, but it has steep cliffs and lots of greenery all over. We started our sightseeing on the island by getting on a chairlift and heading up to the top of the mountain where we would see some amazing views. </div>

We headed back down in order to get on a boat tour that we had pre-booked. We were very excited about it, but we had no idea just how AMAZING it would truly be. We had a boat all to ourselves with a guide driving us around pointing out all of the beautiful things that we would have missed as well as telling us some history of the island. I really can't describe just how amazing it is so I will let the pictures do the speaking for me. </div>

The rock cliffs around the island were breathtaking. Many of them went straight up hundreds of feet into the air, looming over us as we drove past.<br />

And then in the rock faces the waves have created all of these nooks and crannies of various sizes. Being in a relatively small boat, our guide took us right up next to and often inside these places. The color of the water was amazing, and then there was often other rock colors that stood out creating a beautiful, picturesque scene.<br />

The rock formations were just incredible. This one had a hole right in the middle of it that was large enough for boats to drive through.<br />

But our guide was able to drive us right up and into the grotto/cave and show us a different side to it all. The lights reflecting off the water and the different shades of blue and green were so unique. Again, I'll let the pictures do more of the talking.<br />

We arrived at the most famous of all the grottos on the island, the Blue Grotto. Most of the time there are little boats that you pay to get into that will take you inside of the Blue Grotto. When the waves get too big they have to stop doing it because there is not a lot of room at the entrance of the cave to get through. Well the waves were too big that do so they were not running the little boats. Our guide was awesome though and offered to stop for a bit and allowed me to jump in and swim into the grotto myself. It was hard to capture just how amazing it was in there, but even though there is only a small entrance, it opens up into a large room. Being able to be in there all by myself was both amazing and eery. The way the light hits and bounces off the walls is hard to explain. Natali was going to join me, but decided the water was too cold for her to jump in.. her loss.<br />

The entrance has a chain to help you get in and out with all the waves coming in. It was one of the most unique and awesome things I have ever done.<br />

After getting back on land, we headed back to Sorrento and were able to do a little shopping at some of the little shops as we walked around the area. We wish we would have had a little more time to look around as Sorrento had a pretty amazing selection of unique little shops. One of those was this lady that made custom leather sandals. Natali got to pick out the colors and design of the sandal, and then the lady made it right then.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">To Rome</span></u></b><br />
<br />
May 26-27<br />
And what would a trip to Italy be without a trip to Rome? We were able to stay right in the heart of the city which made it that much easier to sight-see, especially at night. No matter how many times we go, it seems like there is an endless amount of things to see. The basilicas never get old, and every single one is different and so impressive. And after you've had your fill of those, you can just go to any number of museums and be captivated by the art and history of this ancient city.<br />

My favorite part of Rome just might be the always running, aqueduct-fed drinking fountains. Always cold and refreshing.<br />

We decided to try out a food tour as we had heard great things about them. And Italian food is already amazing so we were very excited to see what they had to offer. We chose one in a less touristy part of the city, hoping to get more of a local food feel. We started out with appetizers including cheese, different cuts of meat like prosciutto, and even small pieces of pizza.<br />

We then moved on to the main course which was pasta of course, 3 different kinds to be exact! Luckily we had walked enough between the previous stops so that we still had room at the end. Everything was delicious!<br />

Natali's favorite part of the whole night was easily the Pomodoro pasta that the chef (and owner) brought out inside of this huge block of cheese! It was simple, yet so rich and full of flavor. Natali has been on a hunt ever since to try to duplicate this Pomodoro.<br />

And of course you have to head over to the Trevi Fountain at night. Natali has had a lot of success with throwing a coin into the fountain as they say if you do then it will one day bring you back. Well it has been true so far.<br />

The next day we headed over to the Trastevere area. It also has more of a local feel to it that we really like. Of course, two of the best parts of being in Rome are the food and the gelato, so we took advantage of both of those.<br />

We found a cool little hidden gem in Rome called the Quartier Coppede. It is a little, hidden away neighborhood named after the architect Gino Coppede. He meshed all different kinds of architectural styles to create some of the most unique architecture that I have ever seen. It is a very welcome change of pace from the bustle of the more touristy parts of Rome.<br />

We also went back to the Vatican museum. This is our favorite sculpture from the Vatican. Also, if you are doing the Vatican for the first time make sure you go with a group tour or else you will miss so many of the details throughout the Vatican.<br />

We traveled back to France and had scheduled to go out to a little area called Lille where it just so happened that Natali's little sister Tracie was currently serving as a missionary. We were lucky enough that we were able to meet up with her. It was awesome to see her after hearing all of her stories and amazing things she had been doing in France. Tracie and her companion showed us all around the town's sights and introduced us to the local delicacies.<br />

We ran across some of the elders in the area as well so we invited them to join us for a meal. We had a great time visiting with them all, and of course had to grab some gelato as well afterwards.<br />

Sadly, we eventually had to go. Natali and Tracie couldn't quite get on the same page about how they were feeling about the farewell. Eventually they got it together.<br />

Well back in January of 2016, we came across a deal where we could fly to Europe in Business class for 60,000 points plus a little cash. The catch was that we had to act that day if we wanted the deal. So, we booked a flight to Paris with the end goal of eventually making our way over to the Amalfi Coast. BTW, if you want to find deals on flights or if you want tips on how to use miles, go to millionmilesecrets.com or follow him on Twitter. It is definitely worth looking into. </div>

So Natali had been to Europe flying in Business Class when her work sent her over there, so I had been hearing how great it was. Well, let me tell you that it did not disappoint. There is something special about being able to eat a hot fudge Sunday while traveling 30,000 feet in the air and 100s of miles per hour. </div>

After arriving in Paris and getting situated at the hotel (we stayed for FREE at a 5-Star, $1000/night in the heart of Paris due to a credit card bonus) we headed to find some food and see some sights. Below is the Palais Garnier. There were lots of people sitting on the steps in front and different entertainers and performers trying to make some cash that made it all very interesting. </div>

The next stop on the list was the Louvre Museum, but on the way over we walked through the Jardin des Tuileries. It is amazing the size of the gardens and the statues and other things that are right in the heart of a big city like Paris. One of the statues that caught our eye was this statue depicting the Good Samaritan.<br />
<br />
We thought the symbolism of it was just perfect. Here it sat, often covered in pigeons, passed unnoticed by thousands of people every day in their busy lives, yet out in the middle of a public park for all to see if they take the time. It is a beautiful, moving piece of art. Later we went inside the Louvre and saw other beautiful sculptures and artwork, but this was our favorite thing we saw that day.<br />

We made it over to the Louvre finally. You can't really describe the enormity and seemingly endless art that fills the museum. You can spend days and days trying to see everything inside. We have a short attention span and our favorite thing to see is the sculptures so that is what we focused on. Of course, I enjoy trying to copy what the statue is doing, and I found some great statues to try to copy this time.<br />

The winged Victoria is probably the most famous sculpture in the Louvre. You can only imagine how amazing it would be if it stood whole and unblemished, but there is something special about seeing something that you know has been broken and blemished over the years, yet remains strong and beautiful just the way it is. </div>

One of our favorite places in Paris is the Latin Quarter, even though it is very touristy and always busy. It is fun to walk around and people watch and also get some good food.<br />

And you can't go to Paris without getting a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower (have I mentioned lately that we love our Gorilla-Pod? We couldn't take pictures of ourselves on vacations most of the time without it!). At this point we were running on fumes and Natali was about to lay down on the grass and go to sleep, but we pushed close enough to the Eiffel Tower to get this picture.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">To Naples/Pompeii</span></u></b><br />
<br />
May 22<br />
The next day we flew over to Naples and rented a car. We arrived at an odd time that made it difficult to find lunch. Most of Europe is pretty strict on their lunchtime hours. Most restaurants will open from 11 AM until 2 PM for lunch, and if you miss that window then you better be okay waiting until dinner time or else go buy some chips from a grocery store (hopefully you can find one of those open). So here we were, 2:55 PM, haven't eaten lunch yet, somewhere in Naples walking around hoping to somehow find a restaurant that is still open. Just before we were about to give up, we took one more corner and found this little piece of heaven on earth... at least that is what it felt like because we were SO hungry. We had some great pizza and the people were so nice. Side note, 5 minutes after we sat down, a noticeably pregnant woman and her husband came to the restaurant to try to eat, and the server refused and said they were closed. So they are very strict about their hours, and don't expect special treatment even if you are pregnant!<br />

We couldn't go through Naples and over to the Amalfi Coast without passing through Pompeii and looking at the history and architecture that remained there. It is very impressive to see the size of some of the sculptures and buildings. Sadly the mummified bodies were being cleaned so we were not able to see those.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">To Ravello</span></u></b><br />
<br />
The drive over to Ravello was amazing. It's a shame that there were not more lookout points to take pictures, but we were able to pull over and take a couple.<br />

We arrived in Ravello a little late and it was a challenge finding our destination for the night. We booked an amazing place in Ravello that was a sort of Bed and Breakfast but was a little bit off the beaten path. How far off the beaten path you ask... 286 steps off the beaten path to be exact. And not little steps. These are steep, butt burning steps. And that is just to get from the main road down to the house. To get from the house, all the way to Ravello, it is about a 15 or 20 minute walk up stairs.<br />
<br />
So, we get to Ravello and have not eaten dinner. After hauling the luggage down to the room, we then decide to walk up to Ravello to try to find something to eat. Natali was very close to giving up multiple times, but we finally got up to Ravello and went to the little Italian restaurant that was recommended to us by another guest as well as the owners of the B&B, and boy were we glad we went there. The Caprese Salad was one of the most amazing things that I have ever put in my mouth. It is worth a trip just to eat this salad. More about the restaurant later... but dinner was amazing and we got to walk a little bit of it off as we hiked back down to the casita.<br />
<br />
The place we stayed at was amazing. It was this property on the side of the mountain, with great views of the ocean, that was covered in beautiful flowers and lemon trees and all sorts of other things. The next morning after enjoying a great breakfast, we just walked around for a few hours and took pictures. The hosts were amazing and showed us around and let us just wonder around. If you want to look it up, we found it <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2801859">here</a>.<br />

Let me just say that while the backdrop was beautiful, it isn't anything compared to my beautiful wife. Dang she is sexy! Sorry for the overload of Natali pictures, but I couldn't decide which ones to use so you have to look at all of them.<br />

Now, back to the little restaurant. We ended up going back the next day because it was SO good. The owner is a little lady that doesn't hardly any English but she comes out and speaks to all of the people that come into the restaurant. She recognized us from the night before and we had to take a picture with her. I got a little kiss on the cheek as well as a cheek tug and a memory that will last forever.<br />

Ravello is a charming little town that is perfect for taking pictures. It was a little foggy and cloudy, but we still enjoyed walking around and seeing everything it had to offer including some gardens and the big church in the middle of the town square.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">To Positano</span></u></b><br />
<br />
May 23<br />
The next day we headed to a little town called Positano. That sentence seems like it was so easy... but it wasn't. Driving in the Amalfi Coast is not for the faint of heart. Every moment is intense and scary yet awesome all at the same time. Not knowing whether a bus is going to be rumbling around the corner or what was around the next bend was definitely something to remember. I attached a GoPro to the top of my car to try to capture just how crazy it is, but it just doesn't do it justice. Natali's most used words in the car were "We're not gonna fit, there's no way we fit..." Luckily, we were able to fit every time.<br />
<br />
Positano was beautiful. I would recommend if you have a car to drive as far down as you can before you park. We were a little scared so we ended up parking way to high up and had to walk all the way down to the beach... and then all the way back up too.

For Austyn's birthday present, Randi brought her out to Dallas to have some fun and eat some good food. We were so happy that she chose to come visit us as he birthday present, but we felt a lot of pressure to make sure she had a good time. Austyn is quite the cowgirl so of course we had to take her out to the Fort Worth stockyards to see the rodeo. Austyn at one point even went down and joined in the fun as they tried to catch a calf that they let loose. She got close, but she'll have to come back again to actually catch it next time.<br />

One perk of living in a big city is that there are always cool things to do. One of those things that Natali loves is when famous musicals tour through Dallas. Natali LOVES Wicked so when se saw it was coming through on tour she decided to pick up some tickets. Natali's best friend Renee came along as well.<br />

As you can see, Mark and I were pretty serious when we were hiding the eggs. The kids had a lot of fun finding the eggs in all sorts of places both high and low. </div>

Alright, back to trying to catch up on this blog again so we will be taking a trip down memory lane, back to Christmas 2015. Christmas is the best time of year. And being the first year in our new home, we had a lot of fun getting the house decorated for Christmas. We got a new tree, new decorations, and bought lights to go up on the house. This is Natali's favorite view of the living room.</div>

Christmas time also means holiday work parties. Natali's work always throws a Christmas party that is a lot of fun. Natali gets to buy a new holiday dress and get all dressed up for a night. The other guy she is with cleans up pretty well too ;)</div>

Christmas lights are also a great holiday tradition. This is our favorite tree here in Dallas. We call it the tree of life.<br />

This year Dan and Launa and Jayden came to visit us and spend Christmas with us. We got to go to see ICE together which is always a lot of fun.<br />

Natali had a great idea for a Christmas tradition where we get ornaments that represent big things that happened in the last year. Here is an ornament of our house. See if you can find Smoochie hanging out somewhere on it.<br />
<br />

After Christmas, Jayden took off to see Jaimee and the rest of us flew over to New Orleans to eat some food and see some sights. We got to fly in Dan's new plane and we felt like we were flying in style.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikni2_95vlSKfHcabo55P34YdUfLw6Spu7Ch3CPAK58BRSFYDhmdFrwdGj6MOT0CC2QAuQ2ezeM2XJdDvn8AcE12uHIlKIGPIlmITlM5885DCfh2vv1utCFWWC3DmUAhH5f1jszZmuJ0c/s1600/IMG_2007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikni2_95vlSKfHcabo55P34YdUfLw6Spu7Ch3CPAK58BRSFYDhmdFrwdGj6MOT0CC2QAuQ2ezeM2XJdDvn8AcE12uHIlKIGPIlmITlM5885DCfh2vv1utCFWWC3DmUAhH5f1jszZmuJ0c/s800/IMG_2007.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Of course, the most important person on the plane is the co-pilot. Good thing Dan had a good one on the flight so we arrived safely.<br />

The main part of the tour was going to one of the cemeteries. It was amazing to see and hear the stories of who was buried there and why the cemeteries in the area look like this.<br />

Randi started coming out to do Natali's hair, so we had to show her all around Dallas. Randi came prepared with he cowboy boots and cowboy shirt and belt buckle. She kept asking us where all the cowboys were while walking around Dallas. Well, Dallas doesn't have a ton of people walking around in cowboy boots and wranglers, so we decided to take her to the cowboys. First we went and saw the horses at Las Colinas. </div>

Well the Wyson's had a crazy idea to go to Costa Rica with ALL (well almost all) of the Wyson kids and their families. It is not an easy feat to try to organize and coordinate travel plans for that many people. Somehow we all arrived at Costa Rica at relatively the same time and were able to drive the hour and a half to Manuel Antonio together without many problems at all. Pretty amazing when you consider we had 15 people coming from different parts of the country. </div>

We rented a large van that took us all from the airport down the windy road in the rain all the way to the vacation rental that we had all to ourselves. It was rainy and there were times we thought we were going to die, but we made it.<br />

We stayed in a place called Casa Tolteca. It was situated right in the rain forest, had lots of rooms to stay in, great views, a private pool, and monkeys! Every morning a big pack would come out and get right up on the balconies looking for food (or whatever else they could grab!). It was a great place we could all hang out and relax. Every afternoon around the same time, the clouds would gather and it would start raining. Every single day like clockwork. One of the best things about staying in the house were the nights that a family would come and cook meals for everyone. The food was amazing.<br />

Costa Rica is a great place to visit with a LOT of activities. We were there for almost a week so we got to do a lot of different things. We were able to go ride on the Zip-Lines, white water rafting, horseback riding, and hiking through the Manuel Antonio National Park<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">The Zip-Lines</span></u></b><br />
The other more adventurous group went on a more extreme zip-line run that included repelling down a waterfall, a free-fall drop, and other zip-lines. Us chickens did a different zip-line run that was not quite as adventurous, but still awesome. There were about 12 zip-line runs, ranging from a few hundred feet to the longest of over 1000 feet long.<br />

We got the whole group to go and do some white water rafting. It was awesome. We all went through the "training" of what to do, put on our safety gear, divided up into rafts, and were soon drifting down the river at 100 MPH (OK, not quite that fast, but some of those rapids sneak up on you).<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Horseback Riding</span></u></b><br />
This was on Natali's must-do list: horseback riding through the rainforest. The day started out beautiful. Blue skies, coconut trees all around, and just perfect for riding horses. We were paired up with our horse for the day and were lead down the trail into the rainforest. At the end of the trail there was a waterfall with a little pool where we were able to relax and swim.<br />

And then the afternoon cam, and of course the rains. It was pretty relaxing, riding through the rain and just enjoying all of the pretty scenery.<br />

There isn't much to describe here so I will let the pictures do most of the talking. We walked along the trail with great views and scenery, Jaimee got to feed some more monkeys, and we even stopped a the beach for a little bit for some fun in the sun (well before the rains came back anyways).<br />

A group of us decided to go try a local restaurant. So we walked until we found this place with an airplane sticking out of the front. You know the place has to be good if it includes parts of a real airplane. It was a fun little night out.<br />

So, one last quick story of how Sam almost died. First of all, we had bought these awesome matching shirts so we had to get a picture of us wearing them because we are awesome. Well what wasn't so awesome was Sam and I decided to go and find some gelato. Well we take off walking down the street and pass a couple places but we want to keep looking so we keep walking. After a while we decided to head back and just try one of the places we had passed. Well I guess we had walked further than we thought. By the time we got to the gelato place, it was pouring. Of course we still had to get the gelato, so we buy it, eat some, and then decide to RUN back to the house. Again, it was further than we thought. So we are eating gelato while running in the tropical rainstorm in sandals and shorts. We got back and within a couple hours Sam was lying in bed with chills and a fever. Luckily he didn't die. I felt fine so apparently I am way tougher than Sam ;).<br />

Lucas loves animals so much that we just had to take him the the Dallas Aquarium. It is not your regular aquarium though because it takes you through the top part that has all kinds of land animals like monkeys and sloths and then you go down and get to see the fish and then end by walking through the shark tunnel. </div>

It all started out with a "man's weekend" in Utah with some college buddies. We stayed in a camp trailer at a campground that had a pool, basketball court, and a pickleball court. If you have never tried playing pickleball, I would definitely recommend it, especially if you are trying to play it in 20 mph winds. Awesome weekend with some great friends. Below is a picture of Sam, me, Phil, Danny, and Rich after eating some great Mexican food. </div>

We were able to spend a lot of time with some Jeff and Renee, some good friends here in Dallas. We took a painting class together, went to the Greek festival, and had a water balloon fight at their house before taking advantage of their community pool. It has been so great to make such fun friends.<br />

We are so proud of this girl for making the decision to serve the Lord. Putting off school, career, dating, and everything else is not an easy thing to do. She will be in Paris, France for 18 months!<br />

In June 2015 we traveled with the whole Wyson clan to Puerto Rico for a family vacation. We had a whole little villa to ourselves right on the beach. The trip was filled with snorkeling, swimming, boogie boarding, site seeing, hiking in caves, and just hanging out.<br />
<br />
The beach was just awesome.<br />

The Monday after we got back from Puerto Rico, Natali was having some abdominal pains. She really didn't want to go into the hospital, but finally at 8:00 PM I convinced her to go. It was lucky we did, as her appendix was close to bursting. She was in surgery the next morning, and by about 8:00 AM the next day she was appendix-less.<br />

Then on March 31, 2015, Natali and I bought a house! We were going to open houses on our own for quite a while. We decided to get more serious about looking so we contacted our good friend Everett Shell who is a realtor in Dallas (and helped us find our apartment here too). Two days after talking to him an amazing house came on the market in the area that we were looking. We put an offer down and the rest is history. Everett was great throughout the whole process, so if you are looking for a house in the Dallas area, definitely talk to Everett.<br />

Dan, Launa, Tracie, and Jayden came to visit. We had been wanting to go and see the pumpkin patch at the Dallas Arboretum so we took everyone to go see the 70,000+ pumpkins!<br />

Fall also means anniversary time, and this year was our five year anniversary! Crazy how fast time flies. Even after 5 years I still can say that I am the luckiest guy alive. I married a beautiful, smart, funny, amazing woman and she has only gotten more beautiful, smarter, funnier, and more amazing every year.<br />
<br />
I wanted to do something special so we started out with dinner at The French Room in Dallas. It was the most amazing meal I have ever tried, and the room was spectacular as well.<br />

And at the end they always have the Nativity carved out of clear ice. It is a shame it is at the very end because by the time you get to it everyone is freezing and ready to get to warmer climates. But it is always great to take a moment, no matter how cold, and think about the real meaning of Christmas. Christ's life was not comfortable, it was not easy or normal. But He willingly passed through all of His trials so that we might have everything that He never had in this mortal life. And it all started in a lowly manger, many years ago.<br />

And Christmas cannot be Christmas in the Wyson house without a gingerbread house competition. Well, I use gingerbread, house, and competition all very loosely in this case as this has become an over-the-top, all-day, crazy event that results in very creative ways to incorporate a gingerbread house into some bigger, more amazing scene.<br />
<br />
For example, an Incan Temple by Dana and Jason. And yes, if you are wondering, that is a whole lot of Ramen noodles under all that frosting.<br />

And the REAL reason why there aren't any dinosaurs anymore. Their short little arms didn't allow them to climb on board. Poor Rex.<br />

In 2014 I had the opportunity to travel to Frankfurt Germany a couple times to take witness interviews for some internal investigation work I was doing. Of course the main purpose of the trip was work but I was able to stay an extra day to see some sites on my first trip and also was lucky enough to be there during the famous Christmas festivals so I was able to enjoy those a bit at night after the interviews were finished. Here are a few photos from around Frankfurt during my first trip and then taking one of those red tourist buses around :-). First up, here is the hotel I stayed in (The Steinberger Hotel):<br />

Well it's definitely not as fun without Reed but certainly better than sitting in my office in Dallas all day and I certainly enjoyed flying first class (my firm bought business but I seem to have pretty incredible travel luck and got upgraded both times! Though business still would be awesome to Europe...). Hopefully looking forward to more exciting work trips in my future. Maybe one of these times Reed can meet up with me ;-).Natalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07011556840906047773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350033779291757404.post-21928143256279246772016-02-28T20:29:00.002-08:002016-02-28T20:29:26.907-08:00Summer 2014 - Part 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a special visitor all the way from France! Audrey was visiting some friends in Louisiana for the summer and was able to come out to Dallas to spend a week with us. Tracie came out to spend time with her and us as well. We had a great time showing them around Dallas, seeing some sites and eating some good food. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ate at our favorite pizza place, Cane Rosso, walked around the American Airlines Center, saw the Old Red Dallas County Courthouse, the Grassy Knoll, and the Dallas Museum of Art. It was a lot of fun showing them around.</div>

Shortly after, Audrey's little sister Clemence flew into St George to stay with the Wyson's for about a month. We traveled to Salt Lake for Jared and Sydney's wedding which was great. We stayed up in Park City, spent some time around Temple square, rode the Alpine Mountain Coaster, and had a great time in Utah.<br />

It was Clemence's first time out on the boat so she was a little scared at first. She worked up the courage and decided to go on her knees at first.<br />

Then, she got really brave and decided to try it for real, as long as I got in and helped her. After some failed attempts, she finally got up and left me in the dust (as you can see below). She was sooo excited.<br />

Back in Dallas, I decided to put some of my free time to good use. BYU was doing a thing where they dropped a "BYU Box" in different cities every day before the football season. I parked downtown waiting for the drop and I was able to snag it in front of the American Airlines Center after some snazzy driving (and possibly some illegal parking).<br />

We decided to go over to Fort Worth and check out what it had to offer. If you visit Dallas, but want to get a little bit more cowboy feel, the place to go is the Fort Worth Stockyards. They have Rodeos every weekend, trick riding shows, and long horn cattle drives through the streets. There are also all kinds of shops and restaurants to check out.<br />

Natali and I headed down to Austin to catch the BYU v. Texas game. Before the game we were able to catch some sights and eat some food. We found a great restaurant right on the river with some great Hawaiian-Mexican food (yes, that is a thing and it is amazing). <br />

Then we headed to the game. And yes, it was awesome. I had never heard 100,000 fans as quiet as that day. It was amazing to be there in person and see Taysom's legendary hurdle over the Texas defender.<br />

We apologize for writing about things that happened two years ago. I don't know who I am apologizing to because, let's be honest. the people that are reading this are Natali every few weeks to remember the good times when she is having a bad day (Love you Nat), Mom and Dad (Hi Mom and Dad!), and all you other people that must be bored out of your minds if you are reading our catchup blog from 2 years ago (thanks for coming!).<br />

One thing that Natali and I love about Summer is heading to the cheese shop, grabbing a baguette and a couple of cheeses, and heading down to Turtle Creek with a picnic blanket and eating the cheese while watching the turtles and ducks. It is exactly what Natali needs to relax after a long week of work.<br />

Of course, summer can't officially come until the annual trip to Black River. This year, Mark, Dad, Ryne, myself, and Barry all headed out early Thursday morning to catch some fish out in the wilds of Arizona.</div>

We have to hike about a mile to the campsite, crossing the river many times. It is very important to cross the river in the right spots, I know this from experience. The very first crossing of the river I crossed about 5 feet further upriver than I should have. Bad idea. I slowly stepped into the river with my pack on and when I took another step, my foot didn't find the bottom of the river where it should have been. Luckily I had my pack unbuckled and I frantically tried to keep it above my head but my feet still could not find the bottom of the river. I finally got my footing and headed, drenched from head to foot, to the other side of the river. Let me just say, I am grateful for the waterproof sack my sleeping back was in or else the rest of the trip could have been miserable. The rest of the group seemed to have a good laugh at it.<br />
<br />
It was hard to get Dad out of the river. No time to put the pack down when there are fish to catch.<br />

We called ahead and had the cows prepare our campsite so that the grass was nice and trimmed when we got there. They did a good job, but left a few presents before they finished the job. Always good to get camp set up, a nice fire, and some hot food in the belly.<br />

Dad with another catfish. As he was bringing it in, a bass seemed like he felt left out and was following right behind the catfish. Ryne threw out his line about 5 feet from shore, and the bass never felt left out again. </div>

The biggest catch of the trip went to Ryne on one of his last casts of the trip. Ryne was fishing close to the truck when he started reeling in and felt like he caught a the BIG one. As it got closer he saw that it was not just one fish, but a bunch of fish. It turns out Dad had a bunch of catfish and bass on a stringer and he had lost it without knowing it. Ryne had somehow snagged the stringer 50 yards downstream from where Dad was currently fishing. And there you have it, the Black River miracle. </div>

So in May, we decided to take a mini trip down to Houston to go and see some good friends of ours, Diana, Jason, and little Blake. They had moved to Houston to do a 1 year training after Jason graduated from medical school before he started his residency in Colorado. We had a great time hanging out with them (well Natali had to do some work which was NOT fun for her, but overall it was great!). </div>

We headed down to the pond close to their place to feed the ducks and enjoy the great weather.<br />

We have found a few places around Dallas that we love to go on Saturday. One of these places is Grapevine. Our favorite place there is a oil and balsamic vinegar tasting place where they let you try all different kinds of infused olive oils and different flavors of balsamic vinegar. They have all kinds of other shops on the main street and it is a very quaint little Texas town. Natali says we go back for the pictures, olive oils and vinegars, and the shops, but I think she might have a crush on this cowboy that can be found on the same bench every time we go. </div>

We decided to look around at all the fireworks shows around Dallas (and there are a LOT) and found one at Ranger's stadium. It was perfect. The stadium played music to go along with the fireworks show and they had concessions where we got some nachos. Food, patriotic music, and fireworks. What more could you ask for? </div>

After the firework show, many people stayed and spent the night sleeping on the baseball field. I tried to convince Natali it was a good idea, but she could not be convinced, and seeing how bad she blows up when she gets bitten by a mosquito, it was definitely a good thing we did not stay any longer. </div>

In March 2014, Natali and I decided to take a trip to Oahu while Kirk and Kari and their boys were still living there. Sadly, it's been soo long that we are not 100% sure on the names of the different hikes and places we went, but we do know that we had an awesome time and saw some awesome things. Natali has to have beautiful pictures to really make a vacation great, and Hawaii is the perfect place for amazing pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the first places we went to was the Pali lookout which had some amazing views. Everything was so green everywhere you looked, I can see why Kari never wanted to leave. </div>

We love going and looking at waterfalls. There is just something special about seeing and hearing water rushing over a cliff in the middle of beautiful scenery. Kari gave us some great tips of places to go and we headed off to find a couple waterfalls. This first one was pretty hidden, and we took the wrong trail a few times and our shoes were caked in mud by the end, but the scenery was worth it.</div>

We continued to Waimea Falls Park. Natali found out that this is one of the places that the jungle scenes in the Hunger Games was filmed, so we had to check it out. If you have seen the Hunger Games series, you probably recognize the stream in the third picture below. The whole park is beautiful and definitely worth visiting.<br />

We were able to spend some time with Kari and the boys which was really great. We decided to head to a little beach and play in the water. Rivers was a little fish splashing in the water, while Kari and Natali enjoyed working on their tans. Kari knew all the best places to go and was an awesome host/travel agent.<br />

Of course you cannot go to Oahu without heading over to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We caught a few shows and then stayed for dinner. It is awesome to see all the different cultures of the different islands. Each one is very unique and amazing. The boat shows were awesome, and then we were able to go and see some of the different areas around to learn more about each culture.<br />

We were looking for something a little different to do and decided to go take pictures at the Byodo-In Temple. They had ponds full of fish surrounding the temple and some friendly peacocks that were just posing for pictures it seemed. <br />

It was fun being able to go out with Kari and her kids. They kept us laughing and entertained whenever we were around them. We bribed Rivers with Pringles to take this picture. He gave us an extra big smile for extra chips! We figured someone has to corrupt those kids with junk food every once in a while! ;-)<br />

It still gets cold enough to justify drinking hot chocolate and cuddling up inside but it's not so cold that you HAVE to do that or have to worry about driving during snow storms. Since we no longer have to be shut-ins during the winter, we have found that season much more enjoyable. One fun thing some of the members do in our ward is a crawfish boil (pictured below). They used to live in Louisiana where that is pretty common so they decided to bring the tradition to Dallas with them and we were lucky enough to get an invite to the boil. It sure is fun for us to be learning all these great Southern traditions. Also pictured below are these amazing horse sculptures near Dallas called the "Mustangs of Las Colinas." The water has little fountains on just under their hooves so it looks like they are actually running across the water. It's really one of the most incredible sculpture scenes I have seen and even better that it's so close! If you come visit, we will take you to see these for sure :-).<br />

The two next pictures are of little black birds called Grackles that are all over Dallas. You really never see a Grackle alone or in a small group. They always seem to be all together at one place and mostly they are out in the early evenings. They can get a bit loud in these big groups but it's really an amazing sight to see. If you look closely at these pictures you will notice the phone line looks a little thick or has little black bumps all over it. Those are all Grackles. Isn't it crazy?! I have seen a lot of birds before but until moving to Dallas I had never seen anything like this. Some nights if I get off while the sun is still up (which is very rare), Reed and I will wander around in the car to find where the Grackles are hanging out. I just LOVE watching them. <br />

One of our new favorite Christmas traditions since moving to Dallas is being able to drive around and see Christmas lights in the Park Cities. The homes in that area are already incredible but you add in the Christmas lights and it's pretty breathtaking. We call the white tree in the second photo the Tree of Life :-). And it is really incredible to see with white lights wrapped around every single little twig of the tree. And of course it's all the better from our warm car blasting Christmas music in the background. We have also loved having a great view of the lights around the city from our apartment. Especially the giant Christmas tree across the street from us. That is going to be something I'll really miss when we move into our new home.<br />

And here is our 2013 Christmas picture taken on the balcony of our beautiful apartment. What a view huh?! And of course, what is Christmas without some Confit de Canard? You can tell Smoochie clearly agrees with me that duck is the best Christmas dinner ;-) (notice her swinging from my necklace to steal some).<br />

Later on in January, Dana and Jason came to visit. We had a blast with them. We went to the Dallas Museum of Art (the picture just below this is of the Mural outside the art museum). And then we went to the zoo and a Mavericks game. Oh and we ate maybe like 6 different meals each day they were here :-) (plus fried pickles as per the then-pregnant woman's request :-)). If you haven't gained a little weight after visiting Dallas, you just haven't done it right ;-).<br />

I'm including this next picture just as a way of keeping this blog honest. Although it may look like all we do is have fun, in reality my life consists almost entirely of sitting in front of my laptop working. But we do try to play pretty hard on those rare occasions when I can get away in order to make up for all the hard work :-).</div>

Since moving to Dallas, we have been having a great time. Here are some of the fun things we have been doing.<br />
<br />
First, we got addicted to caprese salads in Europe so we tried to make our own at home. We bought some olive oil and balsamic vinegar in Europe and found some great mozzarella cheese to go with them and now we can have delicious, fresh, caprese salads whenever we want.<br />

Natali settled into her job, and always looks so cute when she goes into work.<br />

We kept hearing about the Texas State Fair so we took a night off and went and we were not disappointed. The fair is full of activities, rides, shows, and FOOD. The fair rates all of the food and provides a list of the top 10 items for the year, almost all of which are deep fried.<br />
<br />
So we started out going to the ostrich races. They let them run around for a while, and then they had actual races. It brought back lots of memories of when my family raised ostriches.<br />

Now, the food. Natali and I just started off at the top of the top 10 list and ate as many as we could. I was in heaven. So we started with the classic corny dog.<br />

<br />Our 4 year anniversary came around on the 24th of October. We had spent most of our money in Europe and spent the rest on fried food at the fair so we kept it pretty low key. Natali got some pretty flowers at work from her (not-so) secret admirer. Crazy that we have been married for 4 years and I love her even more than the day we got married.<br />

We were eating a lot of caprese salads and decided we needed to find a place with good olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We found a great place in Grapevine that had a ton of samples and all kinds of flavors of oils and vinegars. We had a great time taste testing all of the different flavors and ended up buying all kinds of oils and vinegars.<br />

We were looking to watch a movie and ended up at a theater that had bean bags and couches instead of regular seats. Natali was a little grossed out, but I enjoyed a comfy seat while watching the movie.<br />

Our apartment is a quick 8 minute walk from the American Airline's Center, so we decided to catch a Josh Groban concert. Natali was so excited and totally loved it. We also got to go and see Harry Conick Jr at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. <br />

Then Thanksgiving rolled around. Since we had to stay here, Dan, Launa, Sam, Jared, Tracie, and Jayden all flew out to visit us and spend the holiday with us. Our apartment is great, but it wasn't really meant for 8 people. We had 2 air mattresses, the couch, and both beds full of people. Natali and I cooked our first turkey dinner, and it turned out... edible. It was a little hectic, but it was a great holiday. Sadly, the only pictures we got of it all was of the girls when they went shopping while us boys went to Top Golf.<br />

Natali loves this big tree at the mall. It is int he middle of an ice skating rink and is part of Natali's new holiday traditions. <br />
