a year in review

When I look back at this time last year I would have never thought the things that happened would have happened. I fell in love, got engaged, traveled a ton, accomplished goals, made new friends, deepened relationships and survived three semesters of school, watched a ton of Utah sports and many many more things. 

The best part of this year though was making this guy my husband. It was the most perfect day and we have so much fun. I couldn't imagine anyone else by my side. 

This year could also be described as the year of travel. It started out with a trip to Disneyland with all my siblings, niece, nephews and parents. It was such a fun trip and the first family vacation we have taken in years. Then meghan, Karli and I headed to seattle for a few days. It was much needed and so fun to see a new city. We then went to idaho, back to disneyland (where I got engaged), Wyoming a few times, europe, hawaii, and back to Wyoming (these trips were made possible through frugal living and point saving).

Bring on 2015.

zoo lights

i had mixed feelings at first about zoo lights but decided that $7 was worth it to go see even more christmas lights. it was actually really impressive. we went with my best friend luke and had so much fun. most the animals were asleep, but we were able to see the cutest cat i have ever seen. it was pretty crowded so i would avoid weekend nights of course, but towards the end of the night hardly anyone was there and we could see whatever we wanted.

we saw santa numero dos as well

of course the night would not have been complete without a trip on the carousel (sorry for the blur we were just having so much fun)

christmas bucket list- candy displays at macy's

when it comes to christmas, salt lake sure puts on a show. it is almost comparable to that of a much bigger city with the flagship macy's store (hint: new york).  back in the day when zcmi was still around, they put giant displays of candy in their windows and macy's decided to bring it back a few years ago. they are beautiful and intricate and so much fun to look at. boy is salt lake a great place to be at christmas time.

for more of my other favorite christmas things to do in salt lake check out our christmas bucket list

festival of trees

oh man did i get lucky in the husband department. i am a lover of all things crafts-making them, pinning them, craft shows, you name it. the festival of trees is one of my most favorite events of the year. d put up with rows and rows and rows of trees as well as the million pictures i wanted to take. this year's festival did not disappoint and it only encouraged my dream of  having 12 christmas trees in my home. we had fun taking bets on how many frozen trees there would be (me: 12 d: 9). how many there actually were: 8 i think. it was such a great night. after we went to tai pan and picked out stockings together and had dessert at the waffle love truck in the parking lot.

christmas parties a plenty

often we think of holiday's as stressful, busy, non stop commotion. i prefer them to be jam packed full of fun things to do. this year 4 parties have already happened and there are plenty more to come. i can't wait. 

first up: d's mom's family has a huge christmas party the day after thanksgiving with all 80 members. it was quite the ordeal. the man in the big red suit even decided to make an appearance and the children all left with balloon animals and candy. it was a lot of fun to meet even more of his family that weren't able to make it to the wedding and start the christmas season early. oh and our first picture with santa to complete our christmas bucket list. 

second: we had our ward (church congregation) christmas party and it was actually pretty fun. any time a polaroid camera is involved it is bound to be a good time. we had a cute christmas program with our one primary child, and then played christmas trivia. 

third: my work had a christmas get together and the turnout was great. we had a white elephant for the kids and they surprisingly loved it. then the adults had a gift card exchange which was quite hilarious to see. cafe rio, gift cards and great people sure make for a fantastic work party. 

fourth: not really a christmas party, but my dear sister's 22nd birthday was the 10th and we had a fun get together with her. complete with cookie butter cupcakes, a hot cocoa bar and a few round of werewolf,  we all had a lot of fun.

bring on the rest of them:)

christmas coasters

aka the easiest craft project ever. meghan shared this back when our blog was still up and running but i love this project so much i will share it again.

what you need:
15 cent coasters from home depot
scrapbook paper (in as many colors as coasters you are going to make)
mod podge
glue gun
felt

cut the scrapbook paper to the size of the coaster and spread a thin layer of mod podge on the tile. put the scrapbook paper on and let dry 15 minutes (you can skip this step if you want, mine just bubble if you don't). paint a few more layers of mod podge on top to seal the paper. when they are dry hot glue a square piece of felt to the bottom to keep from scratching tables.

Temple square and a letter to Santa

 As mentioned d and I made a bucket list for this winter. Tonight we accomplished two things- temple square lights and writing to Santa. It was packed at the square but it was so warm tonight we had to take advantage. We figured we would be back a few more times so we didn't linger for too long but it sure was nice outside. Walking around the temple grounds brought back all those wonderful wedding memories and I just love that I get to be right by where I got married. It is such a special sacred place. 

Macy's has their cute Santa mailbox set up with paper to write to Santa. 

How did I get so lucky with this boy. 

christmas bucket list

celebrating the holidays together is completely new for d and i. Since we didn't start dating until right after vday we missed the holiday season. This year we have gone all out and have so many fun plans. We created a Christmas/winter  bucket list to make sure we could get everything done we wanted. While there are so many fun things to do, we want to be as Christ centered as possible even with all of our fun adventures.

football season

many of you know that i am a die hard ute fan. how it happened, i am unsure but it did and i am obsessed. football season is definitely a highlight of the year and this year was no exception. i did not have high hopes for this beloved team of mine, but boy did they pull off some pretty epic wins (don't worry, i haven't forgotten their epic losses as well). win or lose, rain or shine, a utah man am i.

first game of the season: idaho state white out

we were spoiled with our 4th row seats and danced with crazy lady ever.single.game. 

second game: fresno state

meg and i created a version of this sign last year and we are now known for it. 

third: washington state, pooring freezing rain

4th: usc blackout. our sign in all its glory

5th: oregon, the espn camera was on it quite often and this is one of my favorite moments captured. it is sideways but this is when that iconic fail of a play was happening and everyone is celebrating while meg and i are trying to see a replay.

last but not least, arizona. started out decent, left at the 4th due to hypothermia 

until next year football season. you will be missed. unless we happen to make it to the bowl game.

46 days

who knew 46 days could pass by so quickly. that is how long d and i have been married for. it blows my mind a little that time has passed by so quickly. life gets more exciting each day with this boy in my life and i am just so extremely blessed and happy to have him.

i always say i want to keep up on this blog and for real i am going to try because i have so much to document in my life right now. so here is to a new commitment.

9 days

as i sit here and type this, there are so many emotions running through me. nervous, excitement, happy, love, and so many more. this year has been the craziest, most incredible year of my life. never at the beginning of this year did i imagine that by the end of the year that i would be married. it really has just been the biggest blessing in my life and i know that the lord looks out for us so much.

the past couple months of been the biggest whirlwind and these past few weeks have been the busiest of my life. whoever thought planning a wedding, working and going to school was a good idea was extremely wrong, however i cannot complain at all because i have never been happier in my life. i am so grateful for this time and i am just so excited.

it's that time of year again

football season is definitely one of the best parts of the year. Bring it on Utah. Win or lose they still hold my heart 

London day three

Today we went to Kensington palace. It was incredible. I think William and Kate are brilliant and I loved seeing the area they reside in. It was also fascinating to see princess Diana's old dresses that are so iconic. 

We rode on the Thames on a boat and that was really fun to see the old castles up against the new modern architecture. 

We then went out to our hotel near the Gatwick airport and went to the London temple. It was so simple and so beautiful which is what the gospel is. The interior was different than anything I have seen and I absolutely loved it. 

London day 5

This is the day I looked forward to most. I had dreamed about this moment for a long time and it was my turn to finally tour the very place where the Harry Potter films came to life. It was amazing and beautiful and informative and I could have spent the whole day there. We were able to walk into the Great Hall and see up close costumes and tables and dumbeldore's podium.

We also saw so many props. Did you know there are over 500000 props used to make the Harry potter films. they literally had everything.

One of the funniest things we saw was the animatronic voldemort they used in Harry Potter's death scene at kings cross. 

It was absolutely the best thing ever and I am so thrilled I could see it for myself. 

London day 4

Meghan and I were lucky enough to stay in London am extra couple days on our own. Our first stop-King's Cross station and platform 9 3/4. My letter finally came. It was amazing. I loved everything about seeing that. I know some people will think I am crazy because a majority of the things I had planned for London were based on Harry Potter, but I couldn't not go see the thing that affected my life so much whilst so close. We also saw the outside of St. Pancras station which is what they used to film the outside of the station. 

We then visited abbey road which more spectacular than I imagined. I knew it was on a busy street in London but I was surprised at how nice the locals were to stop driving so frequently. We made sure to sign the wall at abbey road studios and leave our mark. 

We journeyed to the theatre district and along the way found the spot where they filmed the ministry if magic. It was on a quiet street and we were able to take as many uninterrupted pictures as we liked. 

Meghan and I went to Matilda as well. British theatre is amazing and I loved that the actors all had the accent. The children of the show were absolutely brilliant. It is hard to believe how talented children are sometimes. I was very pleased with our choice in show. 

Scotland

After we were finished with the Harry Potter museum, we left for Scotland. Terry picked us up from the airport and he rented a car. It was quite hilarious/ scary/ terrifying to ride in a car with someone who has never driven on the opposite side of the road. What an adventure in itself. 

On Sunday we drove to the little village of Alnwick (pronounced onick) England and went to a small branch of 25 people. It is incredible that no matter where you go the church will be the same everywhere. 

After we visited the alnwick castle which is the very castle that inspired hogwarts. We saw where quidditch was played, where the whomping willow was and where Hagrid brought in Christmas trees. I absolutely loved it. 

The next day in Scotland we went to the elephant house where J.K. Rowling first wrote Harry potter on napkins. It was amazing. 

After we explored the castle a little but and had a delicious lunch of beef pie and potatoes-traditional Scottish food. 

Disneyland Paris

Our first full day in Paris was actually spent at Disneyland! We couldn't not go being so close and with visiting there on both mine and Meghan's bucket list. It sure was an adventure. The park is 20 miles outside the city so we had to take a train with many other disney loving people. The park itself was very similar to disneyland California but a lot smaller. It was also super busy being a summer day and all. 

They had similar rides but they also had a finding nemo roller coaster that was pretty fun and a ratatouille ride (which was awesome because that is one of my favorite Pixar films). Indiana jones was a lot different seeing as it was a roller coaster outside. Space mountain was the best though. It was an actual roller coaster that started outside. Phantom manor aka haunted mansion was also a lot better than disneyland and pirates was different but equal caliber. 

It was a lot of walking as usual and a lot of people but still so fun. It wasn't quite the same disney feel but still so worth it.

Paris day 2

Today we went up to the Eiffel Tower. It was incredible. Tip for if you ever go- pay for a pass that let's you skip the line. It will be so worth the few extra dollars. 

We explored around that area for a bit and then went to notre dame cathedral which is another incredible site. It is hard to believe how long some buildings have been around for. We had a traditional lunch of baguette sandwich and crepe and it was delicious. 

After Meghan and I took off on our own. We walked by the siene river and the louvre and through the orangerie and around. Paris has some amazing parks. They had some nice lounge chairs that were perfect for naps and just taking a break (yes I did take a nap in a park in Paris). 

Our last stop of the night was the Louvre.

What a fascinating place.  

Paris day 3

7 airports, 6 flights, 25 hours total in a plane, 25+ train rides and we are finally back in the states. 

This trip has been an absolute dream. I can't believe 12 days have passed and in those 12 days I was able to see so many iconic places I have dreamt about since I was a child. I absolutely loved everything about each place we visited and the different foods we were able to try and cultures we could experience.

Foods tried-stake and ale pie over mashed potatoes, fish and chips, clucker sandwiches, digestiv cookies, baguette sandwiches, cheese and baguette, macaron cookies from laduree, crouq sandwhich, Crepes, waffles and so much more. 

Our last full day in Paris we slept in for the first time the whole trip and boy it felt nice. We went to the Luxembourg gardens to walk around and to the arc de triomohe. They were both amazing. Paris is such a bright fun city to be in. We went to Montmartre- a quant neighborhood atop a hill. There were incredible views of the city. After Meghan and I went on a a little adventure to find and ice cream shop that everyone says is the best in the city. It was behind notre dame and it did not disappoint. It was the best ice cream I had ever had in my life. 

We explored paris by night and seeing the Eiffel Tower in the sunset was breathtaking. The whole city was incredible at night. 

I am sad to have left this beautiful place but it only makes me want to come back again. Au rev-our Paris. You will be missed  

London day one

We are officially in London and I couldn't be more excited. The ten hour flight was long but we had unlimited movies and it was so hard to make myself go to sleep because there were so many I wanted to see. We rode on a huge double decker Airplane nicknamed "planezilla". After the ten hour flight we hopped in a cab to take us into London which actually turned out to be a 2 hour drive that we weren't anticipating. Oh well, more time to sleep. 

After checking into the hotel we went over to the London bridge and walked across that as well as the millennium bridge which is from the 5th Harry potter movie:) I am a nerd and can't wait

To see all the Harry potter stuff here. After that we walked around a bit more and then finally gave into our sleep deprivation and went to bed. 

London day 2

Today we visits Westminster abbey. It was pretty incredible. I loved seeing where William and Kate were married (everyone here calls them the duke and duchess so I guess it's pretty cool that I am on first name basis with them). After Westminster abbey we walked to the London tower and walked around there. Waiting in line to see the Crown Jewels took longer than a ride at Disney land;) I absolutely love British history and it was amazing to see everything. I can't believe how incredible the architecture is here as well as how immaculately built everything is. We also walked around trafalger square which was son fun to see as well. I love England! Can I just be British?

dream proposal

well, i fell like i will never ever get caught up on this blog, but i sure am going to try to be better ( i feel like i have said this before..oh wait, i have). what sparked this post you may ask? well, i got engaged on the 6th and it was one of the best moments of my life and i want to remember all of it.

the story: david and i had been ring shopping so i knew eventually a proposal was going to happen. he was talking to my sister about how and she sort of shot down all of his ideas (he tried so hard). well he finally decided that he was going to take me to one of my most favorite places in the entire world-disneyland. my sister, him and i drove down on a thursday night and stayed with his aunt. friday we woke up early and went to disney. i knew that it was most likely going to happen that day and he did a perfect job of faking me out over and over and over again. finally we went to the castle and meghan so conveniently "went to the bathroom" and we were talking and he was saying his sweet nice things and then we left to go on another ride. i was shocked that that wasn't it. however, i did later learn that chickened out a little at that moment because there were so many people around. after we went on another ride, meghan left again and we walked back over to the castle to go on the teacups. well most of it was blocked off because of the fireworks that night. i knew he a little disappointed because he wanted to do it there but he led me to this perfect little nook on the side of the castle and he asked there. i was laughing because i saw my sister trying to take pictures and lurking and then he got down on one knee and proposed. it was my perfect disney proposal.

i know some will think it is cheesy and lame, but it was exactly me. i couldn't have imagined or dreamed of anything better. this boy is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to me. i don't know how i got so lucky to get this amazing person, but i am sure glad i did.

time

this was shared on a friend's blog a while back. the writing is beautiful and i was drawn to it. i always have a hard time letting people go and not having good friends in my life after a while, this helps so much.

Why is it surprising that sometimes people fade or crash out of our lives as subtly or extraordinarily as they came in?

Why does it feel such a weighty idea that human beings cross our paths with a purpose, and when that purpose is served, our paths often divide?

I spent yesterday with my mom, my most favorite person on the face of the earth.

I made us lunch and we sat, chatting. She told me stories and I listened, feet curled beneath me, watching her smile, hearing her joy. It’s pretty rad to be grown up and able to hear stories from my mom like I’d hear from a girlfriend—and to learn the details of encounters and experiences that I vaguely remember from when I was a child and understand them with an adult mind.

She was telling about a relationship she had and we spent the better part of an hour reminiscing on a particular person. Over the phone the next morning, we revisited the conversation.

What we kept dancing on was a familiar topic, one that we have discussed many times and one that many great speakers, authors, philosophers and the like have delved into. Relationships—people—why things sometimes end.What is it about forever that makes us cling, cling like fuzz to fabric and children to parents’ legs? What is it about the concept that turns us into fools, seeing an end, a destination, rather than a journey? What’s so wrong with meeting someone, learning from them and they from you, and then parting ways?

It goes against our romantic grain, that’s what’s wrong with it. But the truth is there’s nothing wrong with the idea, what needs shifting is our perspective. Forever definitely happens, there are plenty of people who meet and know one another forever. Sometimes people mate for life, and there are real life “best friends forever.” But just as magical as those unions are the ones that are fleeting…like bursts of lights, meteors of human interaction. Relationships that last months, or even years, and which turn over unfathomable marvels and truths.

Connections that offer us solace, guidance, insight, safety, challenge and growth.

Partnerships can lift us up higher than we could have climbed on our own, sometimes they serve as a crutch, always they teach us about ourselves. But what the fairytales didn’t tell us as little kids is that “happily ever after” is not the only way.

What if I said that tomorrow you would meet the most exquisite human being you’ve ever met, and that you’d know them for eight months, create incredible memories, forge a beautiful bond, and then you would go your separate ways…how would you feel? Probably pretty wounded. Not even having had this experience yet, you might feel disappointment…set up for let down. You might feel afraid to even have this relationship at all. Or, perhaps you’d feel the opposite. Maybe we’d feel a tinge of relief, just knowing it’s not “forever.” Knowing you’re meant to take careful note of the lessons learned in this experience, and carry them with you into your future, with or without this other person.

The truth is, sometimes relationships end. Romances end; the candle burns down or the flame blows out.

Sometimes friendships unravel; the threads fray and get woven in elsewhere. Now and again we lose people we don’t want to lose. Sometimes we part ways mutually. Occasionally we do the leaving. Family members, friends, lovers, spouses…of the myriad of human connections we both build and are born into, only some last forever. And that’s how it’s supposed to be. Not every romance should last forever. If they did we’d all still be with our first love and, for many of us, our personal development would be significantly stunted by having missed out on all of the mistakes and masterpieces that were meant to follow.

We hurt so that we can grow.

The human body is an expert at healing and regenerating. As is the spirit. As is the heart. As is the mind. We fall in love on a daily basis…with people, sunsets, flavors, feelings, experiences. These little bursts of love are often topped the very next day, when we meet another person, see another sunset, taste another flavor…but does that take any of the brilliance from yesterday’s love? No.

Does meeting a new friend take away any of the meaning in a friendship you shared with someone ten years ago? No. Does getting remarried negate the passion and promise that you took into your first wedding? Of course not.

I’m not saying everything is meant to end. I’m a romantic and that’s a terribly pessimistic view. What I’m saying is that, at 25, I’m beginning to wrap my brain around the fact that some things are meant to end. It won’t always be signaled by smoke and flames, either, which can be the hardest part. A friend you’ve grown away from, no fights or toxicity, just a heavy sense that there’s no longer a common light by which to warm your palms. A lover who you know, deep down, is only really a ship in the night. Two souls on very different journeys, hunkered together in a pocket of warmth to weather a blissful little storm, before heading off on opposite paths.

There’s something deeply freeing about the admission that this is life. This is reality. Many of our greatest loves in life are old flames, childhood friends, pets, people to whom we are inexplicably tied for life.

I feel like I keep going in circles trying to explain this, but I guess the bottom line is idealized relationships don’t exist. Real relationships exist. Human beings share interactions for a reason and they end when they’re meant to end. The issue arises when we can’t let go, when we can’t accept that everything happened perfectly, divinely.

The only problem lies in the resistance that our beautiful, fragile, exquisite human hearts bring to the table…our unwillingness to surrender. Surrender to the Divine, to fate, to “what’s meant to be.” Why do we fight it? I don’t know why. I don’t know why I fight it. Because I can say, without a shred of doubt, that some of the greatest people I have ever known, and some of the greatest lessons I have ever learned, now live in perfectly suspended memories.

The relationships have gone on into space, circulating around, their magical little particles separating and recycling into new relationships between other human beings.

Sometimes no tangible person, no relationship right in front of you, can fill you with the same certainty as a memory; as the revisiting in your mind’s eye of experience long since had. When time is no barrier and your vision is crystal clear. When you can see a person’s purpose in your life, why your paths intersected, why their chapter overlapped with yours…when you can identify the authenticity and clarity you gathered from having been you while they were them, from having been those two people in that time, together…that’s when the sighing value sinks in. The moment when you know the puzzle of your life fits perfectly today for having spilled out and sorted your pieces then.
