MAY
The month of may was bitter sweet. May 2 was our 4th anniversary! We celebrated by having an awesome dinner and time down by the beach of course- best time ever! May 16 Jeremy went to Detroit, MI to work on his film- OZ: The Great and Powerful. You'll be unhappy to know that it was 2 days before my birthday. Thanks Sam Raimi- I blame you. So all in all my birthDAY sucked, but the gifts I received were awesome and the facebook posts were sweet, plus some special birthday texts and phone calls were welcomely received! I made the best of it. Jeremy did buy me some freaking awesome shoes:

| Happy 25th Birthday to Me! |
TOMS!! SPARKLY ONES JUST LIKE THESE!!! They are my favorite pair of shoes ever! I wear them all the time with everything! And I mean everything!
May 24 one of my favorite ladys came to see me- SHARON ANNE HUBBELL! We played on the beach and yes, I got pounded by the Ocean in Laguna Beach. Do not mess with the ocean- it will win. Promise. I don't know what happened to the pictures of us- but you can bet they were super HOT! We also played with her friend Ian who lived in Santa Monica and was going to school- but he got accepted to a school in San Fran! Good luck! Durring the Sharon trip we had planned a week to go and spend in Utah so we could visit our families. I had a great time with them! and had a fantastic sushi meal with Emily Ann! It was a great week!
JUNE
June was my first trip out to Detroit to see Jeremy. It was fun but he had to work a lot and so we didn't really get to spend too much time with together. But we were hungry for lovin! So you can imagine how that went :) OH YEAH! HA! Keep it clean people, keep it clean....
At the end of June my sister's little family came out and made a first night stop in San Diego so they could take Conner to Sea World- the little guy loved Shamu! He was super excited to see me, but when he actually realized what "Corie" was, he was a little shy. Poor lil' guy didn't take to the sand to well- the whole day at Sea World his eye was all goopy and puffy from the sand getting into it (sick) but he was such a sweetheart! When they came to LA I got to spend a lot of one on one time with him so his parents could go out and have some "alone" time. We had some fun! He's an easy kid to watch and loves to Help with everything and as long as you let him, and acutally involve him he is perfectly content with you. We hit it off- I'd say we're pretty much BFFs now. Sorry no pics for this one either- they were all on my old phone.... DANG IT!
JULY
I ended up following my sisters family back to Utah to kick off July. I spent the fourth with my family and the kids were so dang cute! AND YES I HAVE PICTURES! ENJOY!

So this was not the actual 4th of July- this is just a carnival before. The actual 4th we went to the Fireworks at Sandy city which were pretty good, and again pictures on the old phone.
After the 4th the next weekend I attended an Osborne Family Reunion. That's right I went to Jeremy's family reunion without Jeremy. I participated and was social (go me!) and I'm pretty sure I just moved into first place as the favorite in-law BOONAN! We went up to this resort at Brianhead that Carla (Jeremy's aunt) put together for all of us. It was incredible! If you ever need a place with lots of beds and has a lot of fun things to do- TONS OF SPACE!- this is the place you need! It was very nice. It did POUR most of the time but we had fun! I like to think my beading was the hit of the reunion (ha at least in the top 3 crafts- ok so there were only 3 anyways. BUT mine was unexpected and not planned- people just got interested and I don't mind sharing!) Here's a picture.. yep just one...
 |
| Peter was my best friend- we had to share a bed. |
The last day of the reunion for me was a wedding for Jeremy's cousing Danny and his fiance Amanda.
 |
| The Happy Couple |
 |
| Our dinner table. When Peter was done eating his dad was like "ok bed time!" He looked at him with these big blue eyes and the saddest look and said "But i wanna do the wedding..." It was so sad.... at least he had a bag of candy. |
AND TO CONTINUE WITH JULY-- busy busy month, when I was driving back to LA my friend Tyler came with me! We had to stop for a night in Vegas because Emily Ann was going to fly in and finish the rest of the drive to LA with us and we were going to have a fantastic weekend! WHICH IT WAS Emily did the best blogging about it. I can't even compare because again- no pictures except a few beach ones:
 |
| Tyler on the Doogie Board (I know its a boogie board but Conner calls is Doogie!) |
 |
| HOT miss Emily! |
 |
| Word cannot express how much I laughed! |
I loved having these two here with me. They were the perfect guests! So easy to entertain and easy to please! They were going about helping make decisions and being so gracious when my apartment was full of fruit flies upon their arrival (some air head left out a bag of fruit- CORIE ANNE and an open yogurt- CRISTIN DEE!!) They were so great and I miss them being here with me... We must plan another trip and soon!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!! I decided it was time to see Jeremy again- I found a cheap flight into Chicago and spent a weekend with Steph, Ron and the kids. It was a 5 hour drive for Jeremy but he came down and saw the twins for the first time! Steph bought us some Cubs tickets and I finally got to go to Wriggley Field!! Pics? Do you have Pictures you ask? Why yes I do!

It was a super fun trip to see this awesome family and to see their new house. Chicago is one of my most favorite cities! I will be visiting again! After Chicago we went back to Detroit- again bitter sweet, Bitter- its Detroit and Jeremy's work hours were HORRENDOUS! 12 hours + 2 was the rule. Sweet- because we got to be together and on the weekends with no work it was fantastic! My favorite weekend was when we went to Frankemurth. It's a Bevarian town with a cool outlet mall where I got this little beauty:
 |
| COACH! <3 |
And it also has the biggest Christmas store in the WORLD! It was like 3 football fields long! Pretty awesome!
 |
| There's my man! |
I must say one of the best nights was when he got back relatively early (like 8:30/9 PM) and we were able to to see Midnight in Paris. Definitely found a top in my top 5 favorites. Best movie of the summer so far! We had an accidental private screening since it was a late monday night. It was nice. I enjoyed my trip (when he was actually there with me at least) I can't wait for him to come back to LA for a visit at least.
AUGUST
And to finally catch up here's the end.... My final stop was of course Utah. I just can't stay away too long. Emily and I planned on running a 5K. It was a Sandy Midnight Moon Run! We finished in about 36 mins! Her mom Lory joined us and it was great! We did so well and I am so proud of all three of us! I want to do it again with her! She is my inspiration!
