.:COME ON DOWN:.
At the first of May we went down to Vegas to watch the Supercross race. While we were there we thought we have to go see some shows.  So I voiced the opinion of going to The Price is Right. My brother went to it with some of his friends and said it was a blast. So we got our tickets and headed to the show. Before you go into the show if you would like a chance to be called on stage you have to go stand in this line and pretty much say “hey I wanna be called up” and they ask you a few questions and so on. So we sit down and wait for the show and our host so happens to be Jerry Springer, which by the way was a awesome host! He was hilarious!...The show gets started and they call the first round of contestants down and everyone is just going crazy having a ball. So the next round comes around and they call out a few names and then we all hear “JENNA DARRINGTON” me and Drew look at each other and I am just beat red! So I get down there and pick my little microphone box to bid on the item they have and it is a really nice watch. I was the second person to bid on the item the 1st guy bid 350.00 I was 250.00 and so one. After everyone was done bidding we hear this “DING DING” and Jerry tells us that this means someone has the exact bid. So they make us wait as we all look around and they yell the correct bid is $250.00. I about passed out I was so nervous, excited SHOCKED!!! So I go on up the stage and Jerry is asking me all of these question about where I live, what I do, what my family does. Of course I say I am from Burley, ID and my family farms and he has the whole audience give an applause for the farmers he said “if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t eat” thank you Jerry ;) So after that they open up the doors and there is a Pool Table and a set of golf clubs and the game is Piggy Bank. So as I am guessing my numbers 0-9 I get the pool table one first which means I won it!! I just started jumping up and down and walk off stage because I get nervous haha. After I walk off the producer walks up to me and says come and meet with me after the show. The Vegas show is a little different than the TV show I didn’t get to spin the wheel or do the showcase because they try and let more people get an opportunity to be on stage and experience it. After the show I went and met with the producer they wanted to try and cash me out on the pool table and watch. Which they would have only gave me $500.00 and the pool table is worth $1300.00 I don’t think so. So I cashed in on the watch because it was ugly and I collected my $100.00 from getting the exact bid. They told me it would take up to 9 months to receive the pool table. Well I think I got lucky because my pool table came about 2 weeks ago! I am so bummed they didn’t allow cameras in the theatre but I got some of my dad and Drew putting the pool table together! By the way thanks mom and dad for letting me store it in your house until I get one big enough J

So for Christmas last year (2010) my parents got us a trip to Cancun and we were all just about ready to go and Nikki and Blair get the call that they are going to be parents and get to adopt. Well when Crews due date was, was when we were suppose to fly out. So my parents cancelled the trip and we decided to go back this year. CAN I JUST SAY!!! I WANT TO GO BACK! There is nothing wrong with waking up to a beach view and people serving you. I loved Cancun and I seriously cannot wait to go back. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of going somewhere for a warm vacation! We flew out of Salt Lake on a Sunday and had to be at t airport and 4:30AM! And who would have thought that the airport is pretty busy that early…well way busier than I was expecting. So we got on our plane and headed out to Mexico we landed and headed to our hotel. My parents have been to Cancun a quite a few times over the years and they asked all of us what is the first thing you guys wanna do when we get there and all of us kids said with no hesitation was “GO TO THE BEACH” so that is exactly what we did, got our swim suits on and headed down to the beach…Thank you mom and dad so much for taking us there we had an absolute blast you guys are the best :)
Here is a few pics of our week in Cancun…
Here is the family at Explor
It was alot of fun we got to go swimming
and canoeing in caves and go zip lining through the
Jungle. Im so glad we did it

While we were there we went on a tour to Tulum.
We went on a book of mormon tour that gives a twist
 of the ruins in book of mormon times.
It was a great experience.
On the tour he took us snorkeling and to a cenote.


This is the few from our hotel.
There is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING wrong with this view haha


While we were at Tulum.
It sits right on the beach


Since we were at the beach
we couldn’t leave without building a sand castle!


Just playin in the water! I love the ocean

...cAn I jUsT SAy...


Wow…can I just tell you how much I love this man. He left me for 3 days to go on a riding trip with his brothers Jeff and Brian…and can I just say I am missing him like crazy!!!...He is absolutely my best friend and I love him with my whole heart! I am so so happy I get to be with him for eternity. I really am so lucky to have him. He is always there when I need him no matter what(unless its harvest then I just don’t ask haha jk even then he is). I know I drive him up the freaking wall all the time especially lately, because I have just been driving him nuts to get us in a house to move into. But he always knows how to make me so feel so happy when I am feeling so down. This past month I have been having a really hard time with some things and he just listens to me and comforts me. He is the most positive person I know and is always happy…unless I am spending money J(ha I just had to throw something like that in.) But seriously he is amazing and I love him with all my heart. He is my best friend and our marriage is the best thing that has ever happened. He is such a strong priesthood holder and he really cherishes that he is one as do I. He is amazing I just can’t say it enough…I love you Drew.
So I have a new addiction…and it is called PINTERST!! I have been doing it for awhile but it is becoming a serious problem! Haha that is all I want to do is look at it full time. There is so many crafts on there that I want to try so bad or a recipe of some kind! It is so fun! It’s fun to talk to my sister in laws Char and Ami about it because we always ask or tell each other did you see that on PINTEREST! I am always telling Drew “I wanna do this and that and make this” haha good thing he is a trooper but i don't think he minds when he gets some yummy treat or something new for dinner :)

-1 Year Anniversary-


Its crazy to think that one year ago July 9th I married my best friend! Drew is the most amazing man I know. I love him so much! He is always there for me and takes such good care of me! About a month before our anniversary I told Drew we better do something fun for our 1 year! and he just kept on saying ok we can go to dinner and I would just tell him It is our first anniversary we are doing something fun and WE ARE NOT STAYING IN BURLEY OR ANY OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS!....I gave him hints maybe go to Sun Valley, Salt Lake, Boise, Island Park etc…. I knew we couldn't go very far because he is a busy man. So for about 3 weeks I would ask him probably everyday.."So where we going?" he would always just say "I don't know what you are talking about"….with a big cheesy smirk on his face. Well the weekend of our anniversary was Declo Days…and I will admit I didn't know this existed till about 2 or so years ago…Anyway the Declo Cheerleaders had their mini-cheer camp and the girls would perform in the parade and after the parade we had a booth for the girls so I needed to stay and help out with that and the whole morning I had asked "Drew where are we going I need to know do I pack a lot, or not really, do I need to pack certain things?"…He would not give me any hints till we were back from the parade. By this time I was for sure we were going to Salt Lake and staying in the Hotel we stayed at the Day we got married…So he finally told me you can pack your swimsuit and just regular clothes…So we got packed VERY fast. As we were driving down the highway I was surprised when he didn't turn right to go on the freeway to Salt Lake…instead he turned left…So I was for sure we were going to Sun Valley. Well we got on the interstate and I kept asking we are we going what are we doing? Still…he gave me no hints! So we are driving and we pass the Twin Exit to go to Sun Valley so then I was ok! Boise! FINALLY I KNOW!!...He started laughing and said ok I will tell you…"Have you ever heard of a place called thousand springs?" I looked at him and said yes Trying to act really excited! But inside I was kinda bummed…I didn’t want to spend our 1 year anniversary in Hagerman, Idaho but I got over it and new it was going to be fun know matter what…Well then we pass the Wendall exist to go to Hagerman and he was freaking out because he wasn't paying attention. So he sais "oh we will just get the next exit"…So a few miles down the road there is another exit…we missed it! So then I new exactly where we were going after there wasn't anymore exits!So We ended up in Boise and I was so so so excited I hadn't been to Boise in about 8 months so here is some of the fun things we did while we were there….

This is where we stayed for the weekend...It was such a nice hotel and we got to sleep in which was even better ;)
After we checked into our hotel we went to Olive garden because Drew knows its my favorite!

After we got back from eating we decided to go swimming at the Hotel when we go back i noticed a bag on the bed...I was like what is this..I opened it and there was a ring box and this is what was in it!...I was so suprised because we kinda said we wouldn't get anything for eachother because the trip was gonna be enough...I love this ring and i wear everyday! thank you so much Drew! you really did suprise me!!


Sunday we went to Roaring Springs...I haven't been there FOREVER! probably 6 or 7 years...It was so much fun!!

After Roaring Springs we went back to the hotel hurry and got ready so we could get something to eat and make it to a movie! I had never eaten at this place! but it was SO GOOD!!
After we ate Dinner we went and saw horrible bosses!...It was hilarious!
After we got out of that movie we weren't tired and we were trying to figure out what else we could do it was only about 9:00...so we sat there for a minute and thought..."Hey! why not another movie"
So we went and saw Bad Teacher...we were both pretty disapointed but it was still fun we went to see two movies back to back!
Monday was our last day in town...So Drew took me shopping(which this has never happened)...it was so much fun.

This weekend was seriously one of the best weekends ever. Me and Drew had hardly seen eachother the past month we were both so busy! it was so nice to have a weekend to ourselves i loved it! Thanks again Drew i love you!
