I keep telling myself Im going to give Amy and Kevin a break but how can I stay away when I know the little one is there!!!! She is just so sweet and fun to stare at, I just love her to death!!!! She is just so beautiful like mommy and daddy :)
Congrats AMY and KEVIN!!!!
My niece finally decided to join the family!!!! She came yesterday at 6:27 p.m. weighing in at 6 lbs 6 oz and 19 1/2 inches long... She is so tiny and adorable!!!! Amy was in labor for a little over 12 hours and had already forgotten all the work it took to get the little one out... Amy is doing great and Kevin couldn't be happier... This is a really proud moment in the Palmer clan... We all love her so much!!!!
India was an experience unlike anything I have ever done and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! India took a piece of my heart and I miss being there SOOO much!!! I want to go back right now!!!! We also we to Nepal which was fun!!! The Himalayas were gigantic!!! It was breathtaking when we finally got to see them!!! Im so grateful to be able to go to India... I love traveling and hope to continue to do it as much as I possibly can!!!
We visited Temples and had to follow there customs, of course by making the "visitors" wear bright orange it helped us stand out more than we already did :)
We had so much fun on the Rickshaws... They could go anywhere and did go anywhere... sometimes it was a little scary... 
The train station was something else... people got on and off the train there... some people slept there... and some people lived there... pretty much people lived wherever...
I thought the train was a fun experience... a little dirty and the toilet was horrible... I mean what do you expect... Its no "luxury" train... that was part of the fun!!
Udaipur was gorgeous... its the venice of India, The palaces were built on lakes... AMAZING!!!
It was fun seeing all the gorgeous buildings!!! They were so old but still looked really amazing!!!
Riding elephants was a blast!!! It was not a smooth ride though... It was really bumpy!!! 
It was so much fun having all the girls there!!! Grandma even rode the elephant!!
Another gorgeous palace... marble and precious stones... wish that was how my apartment looked
Monkeys were everywhere!!! It was crazy... you would be walking around and suddenly one would run past you... It never got old seeing them... Our tour guides would just laugh at us cause we would get so excited!!!
The Taj Mahal was spectacular!!! I have high expectations of my future husband one day... he better building something better than this to prove his love to me :)
This is the Stupa (in the background) where Buddha gave his first sermon... and the rest is History...
On the holy Ganges River getting ready to send our wishes afloat down the river!!! really such an amazing place to visit!!! 
walking the little streets of Varanasi... being followed by people trying to sell stuff... ALWAYS!!! they never went away!!!
Getting a Henna tattoo!!!
Mine on my arm and Amy's is on her foot...
The Place were Ghandi was assassinated... He is such an amazing man and did nothing but good for the world... I can't believe someone would kill him... It was such a moving experience to be there... You could feel his goodness!!!
Getting on the plane to fly past Mount Everest and the Himalayans...
So excited!!! 
Seeing Mount Everest was such a huge moment for me... I have loved Mount Everest since I was little and seeing it was so unreal to me... Seeing it made the dream of hiking it come alive again!!! So I guess I better start training and saving up!!!
Sending my prayers up to the heaven... Who knew praying was so easy... You just spin a wheel... I would pray more if it was that easy!!!
All the Temples in Nepal had a Asian feel to them... Notice how they look like Pagodas???!!!
Tallest Hindu Temple in Nepal...
Last meal!!! I sure will miss the Indian food!!!
This is literally how people lived (not all) they would sleep wherever they could... tables, stairs, their rickshaws or cars, on top of trucks and sometimes just on the sidewalk... It was crazy and such an eye opener to me...
Im so grateful for my "easy" life and Im so grateful for my mom, sister (pregnant!!!), grandma, aunt and cousins that joined me on a trip I had been planning for months and dreaming of for years!!! Thanks girls... I had a blast!!!
Today was a really sad day in my life... My rabbit Lilie who I love more than anything else in the world went to bunny heaven today... I knew this day was coming since she hadn't been eating much lately and had a belly ache... but preparing myself for what I knew was coming didn't help either... She still had her fun personality and was running around every chance she got... But when I woke up this morning I knew the battle was ending... I held her one last time and said my goodbyes and I just pet her so she would stay calm through all the death stuff that happens (watching a pet die is HORRIBLE!!! Steer clear of it if possible!!!) and when she finally did pass on I lost it... Literally... Losing a pet is horrible... Its a huge loss in your heart... I have had Lilie since she was a baby and she has kept me company in my little apartment for the last five years... I will miss her SOOOOOO much!!! At least with the knowledge of the end coming I spent a lot of extra time playing with her and petting her and giving her lots and lots of kisses... I love you Lilie!!! All the other bunnies better be good to you!!!
Lake Powell is a trip I always look forward to and love!!! I love relaxing, I love the sun, I love cliff jumping, I love the sand, I love the big rock walls, I love the games, I love the music, I love the water, and thanks to our new Malibu I love the boat and I now like surfing behind it... This was another amazing trip with my family and friends... I had so much fun with everyone that went especially my little Alli and Samye... Good Times!!!
So this weekend came the best news of my life... IM FINALLY GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!! Amy and her husband Kevin announced that they are having a baby girl in December... I was beyond excited and can't even wait for the months to fly by until I get to finally see her... I am so excited for Kevin and Amy and this new chapter in their marriage and life... Good luck with everything!!! Let the baby shopping begin!!!
