Family Picnic

Once a year my work has a Family Picnic for all of the associates and their families. This year they rented out Big Surf for the Arizona associates and it was so much fun. This was like my 5th company picnic, but I have never enjoyed it as much as I did this year. Probably because I didn't have Abraham with me in all of the previous ones :)

I will say this is NOT an attractive picture of either of us...at all. We were at a water park...what do you expect? And who knows why my husband's face looks...I don't even know, just not like his face. BUT we are both independently chose to rock soccer jerseys, his is the Chivas from Guadalajara, Mexico and mine is from the Mexico Selection. We are so cool ;)

It was so fun to have Abraham there because he had never been to an water park before. We approached one of the slides and he said to me, "Madison, we are going to jump from up there? What if I break my leg? Or drown? I can't swim!" I reminded him that yes, he can swim, he chose to go swimming just hours after our sealing in the temple. So, we climbed lots of stairs to the top and rode a double tube down the slide. He screamed all the way down, it was so cute. After we crash landed into the water at the end of the slide I asked him if he liked it and his response was, "LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!!!" I love my little foreigner. Everything is an adventure with him. Even things that I have been doing for years, like going to the water park, are new and exciting with him. 

I hope life continues to be this exciting and we can continue to appreciate the simple things, such as:

Screaming all the way down the tube slide

The way your stomach feels when you drop straight down the tall slide without a tube

Learning how to mount a raft in the wave pool

The moment you realize the pool is only 5 feet deep and you can stand easily and jump on the raft

Returning to the tube slide hours after the first experience and finding your hat, still floating in the water at the bottom

Realizing you lost the hat in the first place

Not winning anything at the raffle, again

Eating way too much free burgers, chili dogs and watermelon

Just being together and not needing anything else

I love my husband so much it's ridiculous. I know we are still in the honeymoon stage, but I want things to stay like this forever. Well, not exactly. I want thing to be like this except I will be graduated and won't have to work, and maybe there will be kids involved...but LATER, much later. For now we will keep enjoying the simple things of being married. 

Love, Madison
