Happy Anniversary to Us!

Wow it seems to have come and gone so quickly! I can't believe that we have already been married for 1 year. How bizarre! It was August 23, 2008, 1 year ago yesterday, that Bryan and I were sealed in the Mount Timpanogas Temple. I still am crazy in love with this cute boy! He has been the most wonderful, loving, adorable husband this year, and I couldn't have asked for more. I feel like I have learned so much in this short time we have had together. I love you hunny!

Bryan surprised me with everything. First, we got up at 4:15 in the morning to go on a Hot Air balloon ride. That was sooo cool. We flew over the vineyards and citrus orchards in temecula, as well as a lot of beautiful homes, and even Lake Skinner. Then we had a pretty rough landing, but all was great! After that we went to Ihop and shared a meal. Later in the day, we went to a speed racing track, where we got in little go-carts and raced around a little windey track with a lot of sweaty boys. HAHA it was a lot of fun though. Then we went to a mall in downtown San Diego, and just walked around for a little bit, and then went to the most ridiculously priced Brazilian restaurant EVER before going to WICKED!!!! It was my second time seeing it, and I absolutely loved the cast here. It was a wonderful celebration of our year together. Here are some pictures of the fun day!

I love you Bryan!

My Trip to Utah and Life Lately

I've been pretty busy in these last few weeks! I definately have slacked off a bit on blogging, and I have a lot to catch up on. I flew to Utah last week to find a new apartment for Bryan and I. I HATE HATE HATE looking for married housing in Provo, but, alas, I did find one, and it is right next door to where we were living in that mold infested apartment last year. Not to scare you away from coming to visit! These apartments are much nicer and are more updated, although just a little smaller than our last apartment. While I was in Utah, Jayni and I got to go to the Draper Temple and do a session, and it was so beautiful! It is such a gorgeous temple, and I had so much fun going with Jayni!Ahhh so sunny!!

I also got to play with my one of my cute nieces (Annie) and my new nephew Austin! They are so adorable. I wanted to take some pictures of them, and Annie wanted to take pictures with the camera too. She kept saying "OK, Annies turn". Then I finally let her have her turn and she kept holding it up to her eye and saying "No you have to look through this little hole". She was like "Jayni! Look over here and smile" and then she'd take a picture of the ceiling, and then look at the picture and say, "Oh no, I better get closer"!! It was so funny :D

I told Annie to make a Silly Face and she made this face haha such a cutie

I also bought a nice big chair from RC Willey because we had to throw away one of our molded couches!! Anyways, I am so excited to have it in my home now, and I also got some new pillows when I was in Utah.

We had a dinner with some of the wives in the office this summer. I think they are all so cute and fun, and I will miss them after this summer! We just chatted and made dinner and had fun together. Later our husbands came and joined us. I have a good one of the girls, but help me out! Once you girls post pictures of the big group, let me know so I can have a copy!

Bryan also had a few procedures done, because he hasn't been feeling well lately. That was quite exciting as he is very funny when on drugs! When the nurse told me to help him get dressed, she shut the curtain, and he started flipping up his little apron thingy, and I looked at him with my "stern" eyes, and said "Bryan not right here! We have to get you dressed!!" He just giggled and grabbed me and was like, "Come lay by me!" Oh goodness, the struggle with this boy. Anyways, we got him dressed and the nurse told me to go get the car, and she would bring him right down. I went and got the car, and waited about 10 minutes before I started wondering where he could be. I went to go find them when the nurse and Bryan came rolling out of the elevator. She said, "Well Bryan decided to lock himself in the bathroom." Bryan looked at me and kinda annoyed, and said "She just kept knocking and knocking". Hahaha oh my. So we left, and he just kept saying he was starving, and told me the nurses told him he could eat anything and kept begging me to take him to In N Out. I said, "No hunny, I talked to two nurses and they both said you could eat BLAND food." He didn't like that very much! It was quite the ordeal.

Later that night, I babysat my cousin Gerilyns 3 youngest while she and Seth went to the temple. They were quite a handfull, especially in my little apartment with NO toys! It was very hard, but they were sooo cute and a lot of fun! The first thing they asked was if I had legos or Barbies, but all I had was MADAGASCAR, which is definately one of my favorite movies. After that night, I told Bryan that it was good that we waited til I was done dancing to have little babies, because they were very busy! Normally I talk about babies all the time, but Bryan teased me and said that I didn't talk about babies that whole day. Haha. What fun times.

Sopping Wet

Bryan and I come to Hemet every weekend to spend time with Bryans Family. We are living in San Diego, but enjoy the hour drive to be in hemet for a day and a half. There are always so many adventures that happen here! Today................................. was a special one :D. I made this amazing chocolate cake (I shouldn't lie to you all.... it was soooo good) with homemade ice cream for his family. We then played a sweet game of sequence, which we won as a team! Whoo!! Next thing you know, I am feeling a little rambunctious (yes I checked the spelling) and started provoking Bryan to wrestle. I always like to think that I can beat him because he has that weak spot that all men do! But then again, I secrectly love that he CAN beat me, otherwise I would feel a little sad... I'm glad hes a strong man! Anywho... the shirt I was wearing ripped and so I got a little heated, and went and changed into a t-shirt. We went outside, by the pool I might add, and I threatened to throw him in the pool.... I should have known better! Of course he has a strong, fast grip that is going to pull me in too! Sarah, Bryan's sister, was trying to help me, but she went in first. There was no turning back! I grabbed hold of Bryan because I wasn't going to let him escape this wonderful wet excursion, and in we went, clothes and all. I must admit, I got after Bryan a little bit, but it was my fault in the first place! Now I feel really bad because shortly after, Bryan starting throwing up dinner and dessert over the hill! Man... this boy just can't stay healthy... but I provoked this one in the first place. What exciting adventures we are having here! I love Bryan and his willingness to "wrestle" me, even though he could easily beat me in a second. Haha, what lovely times. :D

Life in San Diego

These are some pictures from when we were at the beach with Bryans Family a few weeks ago, as well as some family pictures that we took for our fourth of july cards.

Sewing Time!

Well here is the skirt that I made a few weeks ago. This is a first attempt at making something all by myself! No teacher, no sister, no mama, nothin. So I didn't have a zipper foot, and if I could change anything about the skirt, I would fix the zipper. I would like to make another that would just be a black pencil skirt, no ruffle. I like wearing this with my purple peep toe stilletos :D Enjoy!

Hahaha Bryan said this view makes me look "busty". I frowned and then smiled and said its because this shirt is ruffly!! Just smile a bit, because, lets admit, that was a funny comment.

The Bachlorette

I am so angry about her choice tonight!! I can't believe that she actually chose Wes. I really hate him a lot, a lot, a lot. Tell me your thoughts on this matter.

My Mind at the Moment

Ok so here are a few thoughts on my mind for you:

1. My air conditioning is BROKEN!! The end of the world is coming swiftly. I'm not kidding... San Diego can be a humid place, and with out air condidioning, we kind of sweat a lot when we are at home. LOVELY. I have, however, called our maintenence people, and they supposedly fixed it, but they obviously didn't do a very good job, because I came home from work all excited, and it was still broken. So much for relaxation! Man.....

2. I really like the song "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson, and I just bought it on itunes, which means I will probably get sick of it soon, because i'll be listening to it nonstop for a few days. Dang it! Why do I do this to myself? I don't know.

3. I love making things. I just love crafts, and lately (I know this is so bad, and bryan especially hates it because I'm not even expecting and I get so excited about this) I've been into finding cute baby patterns. There are so many cute things out there! I did make a skirt for myself recently, and I'm going to admit that it is pretty much hott! I will post pictures shortly.

4. My plants are growing and it is so exciting! I took pictures for your enjoyment, however you probably won't think it's as cool as me. Everyday I find a new and exciting little veggie growing!
