This last weekend

This last weekend was 

AWESOME

WONDERFUL

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED.

Friday night after work, we headed

up to Lehi to hang out with my

brother and sister-in-law.  

On the way, we picked up dinner

for all of us...we pulled off at a 

convenient little spot right off of 

exit 123 in Murray.  It has a Cafe

Rio and a ZUPAS right next to 

each other...Best night EVER!

Then we drove to Lehi, hung

out, played games and talked. 

Then we were woken up in the

morning by a couple of cuties who

heard there was a surprise waiting 

for them in the basement. (Thanks Casey.)

The next day was fruit filled Crepes 

MMM...(thanks Trace), Chiropractor

visit, which meant a Tai Pan Trading 

visit for me while I was waiting, then

another stop off at ZUPAS for lunch.

We are a bit obsessed with the Cauliflower

soup.  Then we drove to Park City and 

shopped and just hung out together.  

After Park City, we drove to Salt

Lake, stopped off at the English

Market for James, then hung out

at the Gateway and bought more

awesome stuff.  After we met

 out besties at Sawadees for some

delish Thai food.  Then it was off 

to D and T's for Dessert and movie.

Then we made the long trip home.  

Sometimes, it is just good to get 

out and see stuff and just

HANG OUT and be together.

It was a good weekend.

Sorry no pictures today.

One resolution

Alright, I've got plenty of resolutions and things

to work on this coming year, but a-lot of those

are personal, thank you very much.  But I 

will share one thing with you, because it

may benefit you.  Or you may not care. 

Backstory:

I was going back through my blog the

other day, reading old posts (basically

James and I's diary of since we've been

married) and I realized that the past few 

months or so, we haven't done much of

anything crazy or fun like we did our 

first year.

I hardly have any new pictures posted 

and I hardly ever break out my camera 

when it's just the two of us anymore.

I didn't even take my camera out of 

the bag during christmas this year. 

UGH! Pathetic, I know!  I am kicking

myself now...

I realize that we've been busy with school,

 work, and granted it is winter (who wants 

to go outside if they don't have to??).  But

it still makes me sad.  Last year, we did tons 

of stuff (not all of it big, but we even made the 

little things we did fun and a big production.)  

I miss that.  So my new resolution for this 

year is to bring my camera to document 

James and I's 2nd full year of marriage.  

I am going to make us take more little road

trips to see new things, document our life

in our tiny little apartment in a college town,

and take pictures with our families. 

That is my new years gift to you!  
You. are. welcome.
:)

Revisiting an old classic

I have made an important 

Re-discovery 

yesterday. 

I was home all morning before work, 

cleaning, folding laundry, throwing

dinner in the crockpot, you know that

sort of stuff.

It was quiet, so I put on this old movie

for some background noise.

I had almost kind of forgotten about it.

Now, I will boldly say that it could quite

possibly be in my top 3 favorite movies 

of all time.  It is a classic.

It may or may not have been on 

repeat the the whole morning.

January Blues

I'm dreaming...

-OF SUN!  Please oh please, can Summer just get here already???  I love Logan, but these winters might be the death of me!  


-For my dishes to do themselves.


-For Christmas to take down itself. (Okay, I've just been super lazy lately.)


-For the weekend to get here.

Can't wait for...


-WPPI Photography conference with Kristin and Belinda. YAY!!


-To use up some gift cards from Christmas...TJ MAXX and Maurices HERE I COME!

-James and I to actually go somewhere and do something so I can have pictures to document my life and my blog not be so boring.

-Teresa to have her baby already!  March just get here! (Love u T-pie.)

-Outside photography season.

-SUN.  Did I say that one already?

And because it is January and there is no end in sight for the BLASTED COLD, here are some picks of good times with our friend the sun this past summer. 

 The first few pics are from floating the provo river. It was one of the funnest things ever. There was a huge group of us and we all hung on together almost the whole trip.  Awesome.  

Here is me and the Mister.

These next pics are from one of our trips to 

Bear Lake with friends.

Here is Nick, the Merman.

The creators of Nick the Merman

And of course...Raspberry Shakes after!

(Who am I kidding. It was OREO ok.  Oreo.  

And it was delicious.)  

Winter.  You are not my friend.

Summer, I will be waiting for you.
