Florida!

so i figured i better catch up on our summer events because we have alot of upcoming fun things that i know i am going to want to blog about...

on the july 15th i drove down to utah (yet again) for some soccer games and a GIRL'S WEEKEND with derek's mother and sisters. we stayed at a hotel in west valley and had some fun bonding time! since i had a soccer game saturday morning i met up with Sandy, Allie, and Bridgette at the hotel and from there we went and got full body massages and facials! WOW needless to say i think i am addicted :) it felt so good! then we went shopping and had dinner at zupas. After dinner we headed to the Jordan Commons to see Harry Potter 7: pt 1. Sunday morning i had to wake up early and Sandy drove me to the airport so i could catch my flight to florida!!!

Regan wanted to come along!

I had never been to florida so i was super excited that my new job was sending me there for a training. We stayed at the Hilton at Disney Resort and were literally across the street from downtown disney (yes i went there practically every night)

Our traning was centered around KAGAN cooperative learning. I learned alot of good techniques that i am going to implement into my high school teaching!

So now for the fun part... i did alot of laying by the pool, tanning, and eating out at fancysmancy restaurants but also was able to make it to Disney's Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom on wednesday:



we saw the bug's life 3D short clip! it was so cool :)



 On friday we went to universal studios, mostly to see harry potter land, but the other stuff was pretty cool too!
