So at work every once in awhile the AC starts to smell really bad. They've had AC repair people, and electricians come, check it out, many time but they could never find something wrong. Well today the vent closest to me went up in smoke!
It started smelling again and I thought oh great. But when I looked up there was smoke coming out of the vents and a girl running around the office saying everyone evacuate. Call 911. So my boss called the fire department, and everyone went across the street.
The diagnose the ac was just burning, but we were allowed to go home an hour early cause of all the smoke. I thought the firemen were blocking my way out and I wouldn't be able to leave. Luckily though the car next to me wasn't there and one of the fire fighters helped me back out. Since we are a billing office we were all hoping are work would go up in flames but it didn't, so I guess I'll go in and finish it all tomorrow.

4th of July in Sedona!
So I had a 3 day weekend and wanted to go to Sedona. I hadn't been there since I was a teenager, when we went up for the day to go to slide rock. One of the benefits of my Dads job was being able to fly free so why drive for 2 hours up to Sedona when you can go to Disney Land instead.
Since Ryans parents were also going up there we all went together.
I have to mention before all the Sedona fun that we did make a stop in Mesa to see Eclipse with my family. Love the movie. My favorite so far.
Anyways back to Sedona. We woke up early on Saturday morning and stopped by the resort. Becky and Kevin were already up there since they had Friday off. We changed into our swimsuits and drove to slide rock. The parking lot was full and there cars lined up waiting for others to leave so they could get in. We weren't going to do that. SO we parked along the side of the road and walked. When we go there we found out it was $50 dollar ticket to park there so Jeff and Ryan went to move the car. They found a hotel and payed to park there and they dropped them off then picked them up at the end of the day so nice!!
On Sunday we had a nice sacrament meeting before continuing on to Jerome, an old mining and ghost town then a nice hike on airport road!
Unfortunately Kevin had to work on Monday so Jeff and Kevin missed out on Out of Africa! There we went on a Safari ride were we feed some animals, watched a tiger splash show, petted a snake, and had a lot of fun! Here are the pictures!

Rattlers+River+Diamondbacks!
The month of June has been a busy month. 2 girls I work with quit so there has been a lot of overtime. But I'm ok with it because got a permanent position now. I don't have to worry about being laid off. Yea!!!
Even with working a lot we found time to go visit family and friends in Mesa. Friday night we met up with Ryan's family at US airways arena to watch a the Rattlers arena football game. Much better than the last football game I went to. It was indoors, with seats not bleachers. The game was a close one, right at the end the other team scored to make them one point behind and I thought it might go into overtime if they got the extra point. Luckily they decided to go for 2 points and either win it or loose it. I was glad, I was ready to leave and as it turned out they missed the extra point so no overtime and we won!!!
Saturday, we planned to go float down the river! We wanted to wake up early and go at like 9, to hopefully miss the crowds and drunks. Our plan worked out well when we got there they were having pirate day so the first 500 people could go visit 6 booths get a free drink and be able to get $5 off. It was great. So Kari, Alyssa, Heather, Ryan and I all floated down the river for 5 hours. Ryan was a leech and made all of us girls pull him on the slow parts. I mean come on Ryan you go to the gym every day use those muscles. Lol, Just kidding love you.
So now that we are home and I am the only one that is pink.... We met my parents at Tia Roas. YUM best Mexican food restaurant. Can't go to the Vally without stopping there!
We Finished off the night by going to the Diamondbacks game. They won of course!!! During the 7th inning stretch we went over by the organ to sing it and were on the jumbo tron!!!
Then we had to wake up early to drive back to Tucson to teach are wonderful primary children.
All and all a great weekend with little sleep.

Memorial Weekend Road Trip
Alyssa, Heather, Ryan and I went to Vegas for Memorial Weekend. Ryan's friend Josh lived there and he was able to hangout with us most of the time. I took pictures of all the hotlels we visited.
Treasure Island. I made everyone go to the show Sirens of the TI. Little did I know we were on the side were a bunch of girls were singing and dancing. Next we know to be on the side were the pirate ship sinks.
The Vinitan. It was super nice inside. We had dinner (at the food court we can't afford $100 dinners). Then saw the show The Blue Man Group. While they were introducing all the famous people that were there, on screen, Ryan Pett's name pops up saying everyone Thank Ryan he is just an average guy of no particular importance. It was great!
Of course we had to stop by the M&M factory. Yumm!
A stroll down the Brooklyn Bridge Vegas style with a ride on NY NY
The coke Factory. We tasted 16 different coke products sold in other countries. Don't drink the soda from Italy!
View from the top! We took a ride on the straopher roller coaster which was overlooking the strip!
Waiting for the show at Caesars palace. We finally found it after 3 stops!
The Belagio had a great water show and gardens!

Motorcyles
Ryan and I took a motorcycle safety class this weekend. He had mentioned to me before that he wanted a motorcycle and asked if I would be opposed to it. I have nothing against it so I said I don't care if you get one. Then about a month ago he brought it up again. I figured it would be like the time before, and he wanted one in the future. He has always been against to having 2 cars, but apparently motorcycles are different. He needed it to get to work this summer. He spent a couple of weeks trying to convince me that he would be safe, buy a helmet, go the speed limit, and take a safety class. Then one day I said, Who are you trying to convince to buy this motorcycle I already told you I trust you. Are you trying to convince yourself its ok. Then the truth came. His mom is heavily against motorcycles. She thinks there unsafe and he was afraid to tell her. So instead he tells everyone else. When he calls his sister Clarissa it goes like this, "Can you keep a secret. Kristin and I pause.... are getting a motorcycle. We'll don't worry, during that pause she thought I was pregnant. Nope not yet!
My parents trust everyone but me to driving a motorcycle. They really don't even like me driving cars and are surprised that Ryan lets me drive. When they find out I'm also talking the motorcycle safety class with Ryan, my Dad laughs and my mom informs Ryan, "I don't want Kristin Driving she can ride behind you.
We took the class. Ryan did excellent and passed and got his license. I however only got my permit. Oh well after sitting on the bike Ryan bought its too bit and I don't want to drive it.
So Ryan took the class, got his license, and bought his motorcycle. Only one problem his parents didn't know. How does he tell them.
He puts pictures up on facebook and texts his mom to go look at facebook. So here is the pictures that she saw:

Parting Tucson Style
Trent and Alyssa also came to visit one weekend. We took them on a tour of UofA and we went to Sabion Canyon. I knew we should of brought our swimsuits but everyone told me the water came from Mt Lemon so it was still to cold to get. We'll even if it was cold hiking in the heat would make it feel great. Oh well we know for next time. It didn't stop us from taking off our shoes and walking through the creek though.
The Dessert!
Walking through the creek!
I need water shoes
The Damn! There were little kids sliding down this too bad we didn't have towels, water or swimsuits. So unprepared. Oh well it was fun!
