My First Post

Yes i finally decided to start a blog. I've been wondering for a few weeks how i should start it cause i really just want to start blogging and skip the intro most of you already know me. In "you" I'm actually hoping people will read this.. haha.
First off i am married to the most wonderful husband in the world, Shaun. Shaun grew up in morgan/west point and graduated from Clearfield High. He is the oldest in his family and has 7 sisters! He served a mission in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He is fluent in Spanish, Making me laugh, Snow/Skateboarding, and being the life of the party. We met on a WSU crosswalk and a year later that's where he proposed to me. :) We then got married 7 months later in the SLC Temple on June 10, 2010.


I grew up and graduated from Layton High.  I love to play softball, started playing at T-Ball and didn't stop til 2 years ago. I am the baby of the family. I have 1 brother and 3 sisters.  I got a scholarship to WSU for softball which was the best ever!

In March of 2011 we had our first baby..  She is a miniature daschund with black and red spots. We love her so much. We named her Olive after our cute saying "Olivejuice". (If you mouth those words it looks like you say "I Love You" but you're really saying olivejuice if they ask right?)  She is our baby and will be 2 years old October 4, actually the same day as Shaun and I's very first date back in 2008. 
I love this picture. Olive is posed to perfectly. She is the best dog ever! Her favorite things include walks, treats, naps, her yoshi toy, her boyfriend HURK, chasing/doing run bys, and playing with her friends!

Whats really cool is Shaun and I are both graduating this spring together. He's getting a bachelors in Sales and Spanish and a emphasis in financial planning. He currently works at New York Life doing retirement planning, family protection and life insurance etc. He basically loves his job.
I will graduate with an AAS degree in Radiology and hopefully will going back to school this august for Sonography and graduate with my bachelors in Dec 2013.

As McBrides we love to go on adventures. Snowboard as much as we can. Make smoothies and french toast! Play pickleball. Have game nights with friends and family, especially play settlers of catan! And mostly we love to TRAVEL! Here are just some of the places we've been since we've been married!.

And hopefully a thousand more to go!
