i don't see what anyone can see in anyone else

one year ago

(saturday)

i put on this dress

made this headband

put on these shoes

and went HERE

all so that i could marry this guy

my best friend

it was a BEAUTIFUL day, and the happiest of my life

i couldn't imagine a better husband

and am so glad i get to have him

FOREVER

for our anniversary this last weekend,

we went back

and the day was just as beautiful,

and i was just as happy.

we went to dinner at texas roadhouse

and i got this beauty

(so i no longer have to covet my little sister's)

and we ate 1-year-old frozen wedding cake.

it was such a fun weekend and i loved spending it alone

with joey.

i love you babe,

to infinity and beyond

8 dresses

with my new job, i am working 3 12-hour shifts,

which leaves me 4 days off a week.

what's a girl to do with all that time?

i've been expanding my wardrobe,

1 dress at a time.

most of my fabric starts out as vintage sheets,

i just love the colors and patterns.

(not to mention ALL this fabric only cost $12!

this was for my niece cali's 2nd birthday

ruffle trim neckline and elastic sleeves

neckline

my second one for me

pleats down the front

wrap dress

(my easter dress :))

my favorite part,

the ruffle neckline

i am in the middle of an 8 day break from work

and when my dad asked what i was going to do i told him,

"make 8 dresses :)"

happiest place on earth

two weeks ago joey and i went to disneyland

with some of my family.

we road-tripped it out there, and had a lot of fun.

we stopped at outlets for shopping,

and wanted to go on our favorite roller coaster along the way

unfortunately.......

we hit it on the wrong day of the week

(but we made sure to stop on our way home:))

we spent the first night in huntington beach,

and went to our FAVORITE ihop for breakfast the next day.

we then showed joey all of our favorite places along

pacific coast highway.

our first stop was balboa island, where we met a fellow cougs fan.

then on to treasure island beach in laguna, and it was a BEAUTIFUL day!

complete with lots of beach babes.

we also went to gina's pizza.

i forgot to take a picture of the delicious pizza, but it's our favorite!

we also went to san clemente pier to watch the surfers.

we stayed the rest of the time in anahiem, just a few blocks from disneyland,

which was of course where we went the next day.

for those of you who have not been since

WORLd OF COLOR

i highly recommend going asap,

it is AMAZING!!

now if the weather here would just warm up i wouldn't be so eager to go right back!

so long, so long.

our dear dear friends

the METCALF'S

are leaving us and moving to California at the end of the month.

(ryan got a dream job, and is super cool)

Jo and I have been friends since Elementary School.

We have been through A LOT together.

We were even roomies our Freshman year at Utah State.

We have grown very close, and I am sad to see her go!

They are the first of our friends to actually "grow-up" and leave,

and I am still finding it strange.

We love hanging out with her and her hubby Ryan,

along with the GOULDINGS as well.

I am still in denial

and secretly wish we could all share this grand adventure together.

I see many visits to the Golden State in the future,

but will miss them nonetheless!

(take us with you!)

rise and shout

well we had quite the week!!

on wednesday, i discovered i got a much wanted/needed/perfect

job i have been interviewing for for the last month or so

working at

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center/American Fork Hospital

as a PCT (CNA)

and we couldn't be happier!

I have orientation for the hospital TOMORROW!!!!

On Thursday, we were saddened by the BYU basketball team

losing the game to Florida, IN OVERTIME nonetheless.

I detest overtime.

However, we heard the team was going to be coming home, flying into

the Provo Airport

(don't worry, I didn't know there was an airport in Provo for long either)

Anyway, we went to see the team, and actually got a ball and hat signed,

and even got interviewed by Ch. 13 news!

Here are some pictures of the day too

for your enjoyment :)

But This was of course the highlight of the morning!!

We've had fun going to all the home games with my dad this year,

and hope next year's team is as fun to watch as they were this year!
