Elizabeth

Elizabeth LOVES dogs.  When we were in Colorado this last weekend she wanted to play with Dixie, our cousin's dog the entire time.  She only says a few words that anyone could understand and now one of them is "Dixie".   Here at the lake she was giving Dixie kisses through the door of the kennel. 

Here's one with her cousin Samantha, she loved the baby.

She's such a nut, she always is wearing my shoes and Dad's hat.  She is our crazy one, I love her free spirit!

Bennett's 1st trip to the Dentist

LOOK at this COOL kiddo, he was so good at the dentist.  He wanted me to get lots of pictures (or at least thats what I say so I don't look like a sappy Mom!) so here are a few of his first CAVITY FREE dentist visit.

He loved the X-Ray's, thought it was pretty cool.

The dentist is getting pretty fancy these days, he had the choice of like a hundred flavors for his cleaning.  He choose Bubble Gum.  Yummy!

You can laugh at me....I guess I'm that Mom.  Even the dentist laughed at me.  I wanted a picture with the Dentist and the hygienist, Veronica (she was awesome!).  I asked them if they ever get people wanting a picture.....maybe twice a year.  I just look on the bright side, I'm not the only one!

Bennett got to enter his name into a drawing to pick out a big toy they have on display for being in the
"Cavity Free Club."  

Last ride on the Great Bear

Our last weekend in Hershey Olivia and I went to Hershey Park at 9:30 PM to get in one last ride on the Great Bear, my favorite roller coaster before we left Pennsylvania. 

Olivia's fav candy!

Odds and Ins and Updates

First of all we are finally living in our house in Albuquerque, we don't have internet yet (don't tell anyone that I am sitting at the school on the corner on an unsecured network....gasp!)   We are set to close on the house on the 23rd.  Thats the day before Steve starts residency and the day after I get back from Spokane for my Brother Rob's culinary school graduation!  Congrats Rob! He has always been the BEST cook, ever since we were just kiddos! 

Just a little history of our last month.  May 18th we left Hershey....drove 5 days with the family, Steven's parents and sister Olivia across the country.  Drove mostly with the girls in the car (Olivia, Jenny, Elizabeth and myself) Did  a lot of wedding planning with a crabby bride to be =)  Ahhhhh to be so young again!   Not quite a bridezilla but close!   Then we go to ABQ stayed in a La Quinta for a few days, put all of our stuff in storage because we didn't have our house yet and decided it would be better to spend our wide open days in Utah eating Cafe Rio hanging out with friends and family than sitting in the La Quinta!   So we headed up to Salt Lake for a little over a week.   Then we got word we could move in the first of June to our house so we headed to ABQ to move in on the 2nd on June.  Justin and Ashlee (Steve's brother and his wife) and their two kiddos drove with us and  helped SOOOOOO much.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!  They really were so generous and helpful and made such a stressful time so much better.  We really couldn't have done it without them!


And here we are today....just hanging out exploring the area.  I found a gym to join that has Les Mills and Body Combat is really new there.  I went the other day and it was fun, but interesting to see all of the people do combat for the first time-ish.   Those of you who know me know that next to the love of my family, the gospel, and friends.....LES MILLS is right up there!   My goal has always been to teach Body Combat.   So I am going to try to reach this goal this year here in ABQ.   I am really excited!


Secondly I have started back up on Kristi Approved now that I actually have a kitchen to cook in and we are a little more settled.  I was happy to weigh in the first day at 148-8 and I am now on day 3 of week 5.   My goal for this first week is to see 146 on the scale!   I found that I really don't like one of the meals and there really isn't a optional meal for that specific meal (they usually give you another meal to try if you don't care for the one on the menu), but this one just has you switch out tuna for chicken....oh well, an apple and string cheese it is!  I am really excited for a little bit of routine again. 


Thanks for listening to our pretty uneventful life of the The Wrights.

We made it to Albuquerque

We made it to Albuquerque.  Yea!  We still don't have a place to go, so we are trying to figure stuff out with our house...one way or another we should know by the end of next week. 


For now we are holding tight and trying our best to be patient.  

Our drive across the country was a lot of fun, long at times, but good.  We had the company of Steve's Mom, Dad, and sister Olivia.  Olivia is getting married August 12th so we got a lot of her wedding planned out.  We got to see downtown Nashville, which was pretty cool.  The scenery was really pretty too.

Now we just hold tight, enjoy the warm weather.
