Fun in SoCal

I thought this blog background best describes where we are living. Life is good here in Lake Elsinore. We love our ward. The people here are great! We are having a slight problem with our credit right now. We wanted to try to get this house and when our Lender ran our credit report it had a few extra's on there that didn't belong to Brian or I.....a mortgage to name one. It doesn't look like credit fraud or anything like a stolen identity because when I called on the Hooter's card...yes, that is right, a Hooter's card....they nice gentleman couldn't pull up info with my SSN or Brian's SSN. So, that is good right. Geesh. We just want to buy this cute starter house. Is that too much to ask?

But, other than that, we are good and having fun. One of my Provo roommates and her husband came out a couple of weeks ago and that was fun to see Joleene and Dan. We spent the day down in San Diego. We have also been having fun game nights with our friends Jennifer (one of my mission comps) and her husband Karl. They are our best friends and we really enjoy spending time with them and their cute little girls!

Brian and I are happy here in our little corner of SoCal.

Mormon Battalion Historic Site in Old Town San Diego

Great, Great, Great Grandpa Karren

Fun Weekend

Brian and I went to San Diego this weekend. The weather was beautiful. We spent some time at the Mormon Batallion site. It was incredible. The tour was quite fun and inter-active. Brian got to pan for fools gold at the end and we got our picture taken. The spirit was strong and I got to look at the roster and found Thomas Karren (my great, great, great grandfather) and there was a picture and bio on him. Very special to see that. Also found a Samuel Lewis that I think might be a relation, not sure. My dad is looking into it hopefully. ;)

We also walked around Old Town San Diego. Loved it!! It was great. Amazing buildings and fun vendors lining the street. I am in love with San Diego!

I will be posting pictures either later today or tomorrow.

Kings game with the Lewis Clan

We had a good time...the whole fam went!

Jerome continued....

Ok, so I don't know what is wrong with my stupid blog but it would not let me write about the pictures we took at the mine and Ghost Town in Jerome. Brian was in HEAVEN with all the old cars. It was pretty cool!

If you have ever been to Jackson California than you have been to Jerome Arizona. It totally reminded me of that. They look a lot alike. Except Jerome is literally on the side of a mountain with an amazing view.

We had a fun day!

Prescott and Jerome Arizona

After Spring Training (we tried to get into an Angels game also but it was sold out...bummer) we headed up to Prescott to visit with Brian's Uncle Gary and Aunt Roz (we met Brian's parents up there). Prescott is a very pretty town. I really loved it there. They had the most incredible view from their house. They took us to Jerome (supposed to be a Ghost Town) to check out the old mine there. Pretty cool.....more pics! :)
These pics are from the balcony on the back of Gary and Roz's house....amazing view of Prescott!

I love this picture because you can see thru the house and see Thumb Butte that is on the other side of Prescott.A cool lake just outside of Prescott.

Spring Training

Brian and I went to a Cubs spring training game last month and had a BLAST! Here are some pictures that we took during the game........
