SAN FRANCISCO

luke and i went on a vacation to visit my sister, bro-in law and the little nugget growing inside my sissy. san francisco is beautiful. it is lively and full of ups and downs- streets i mean! we spent a lot of time walking the streets of san francisco and figuring out the transportation system, not to mention sampling chocolate at ghirardelli square! one of my favorite parts of the trip was feeling my lil nephew kicking inside monica's belly. can i live closer to her, please?? thanks g and monica for having us and showing us around the city!

SIX MONTHS

Last week we celebrated our 6 month anniversary...crazy fast! Marrying Luke was the best and easiest decision I've ever made. Here are six of our favorite wedding photos. Love you, babe!

WEDDING DAY

Our wedding day was lovely and perfect! The whole time leading up to the wedding we prayed for good weather and we were blessed with the most gorgeous day in March. Luke and I got married on March 8th in the Logan, Utah Temple, our hometown Temple. I started the day with hair and makeup while my sweet Luke slept a little longer :). Lucky for the guys they don't have to deal with all of the hussle and bussle of bobby pins and hair spray! Finally, I was ready and 15 minutes late...of course! We met in front of the Temple with our families and seeing Luke for the first time that day was so special. He was about to be all mine. Giddy, I tell ya! I'm incredibly greatful for Temple ordinances that make it possible for us to be with our families forever. Learn more about Latter-Day Saint Temples here. A big thank you to our families and friends for making our day so special. We love you. And thank you to our wonderful photographer Britt Cascio for capturing our day so perfectly. Now I'll let the pictures do the talking...

GRADUATION DAY

As many of you know, I officially graduated in December of last year (2013) but since USU doesn't have a graduation ceremony in the Fall and since my sweet mom wanted a picture like this:

We decided that I'd venture back to my old stomping grounds and walk in this Spring's commencement ceremony. It was weird. But it was also fun! My favorite part was walking from the Quad to the Spectrum; Aggie pride was everywhere. I loved it. I'll never forget my time at Utah State! I hope to go back not just for Aggie games but when our kids graduate ;). 

NINJA CHOP

A few weeks ago I introduced Luke to FRUIT NINJA and needless to say he LOVED it. Yesterday we were hanging out and so confidently he says to me "I want to play Ninja Chop!". I died. It was hilarious and I wish you could have seen his eyes light up when I downloaded it on his iPod. Haha, this boy cracks me up!

WE'LL BE JUST FINE

This post is mostly for my momma. To show her that even though we planned many cooking sessions and I always backed out on them, I still managed to learn something! And also we haven't cooked frozen pizza...yet! But dang it we have cooked Ramen noodles so...  I think we'll be just fine on the cooking department. Have I mentioned that my husband is a mighty cook? Some of my favorites  -he makes some dang good waffles/pancakes and bacon on Sundays, delicious fried rice, fettucini alfredo, and chicken-that boy knows how to cook chicken! He also knows the way to my heart by letting me buy bags of dark chocolate.

This went on to being a really, really runny salsa so we didn't eat it...trial and error, folks.
