the weekenders

August 13, 2015 — 2 Comments
This last weekend was fulllll of adventures! Summer is winding down and Randy will be back in school before I know it. SO we are making every moment count. Hence the weekend filled to the brim with fun. 
First we joined the Tour de Utah. JK. 

We were biking around on our cute little SLC Green Bikes while the Tour de Utah FLEW past us. It was such a fun adventure! The curry we had for dinner didn’t even make pedaling through the city less fun. 
We were walking around Temple Square and ran into a guy in Randy’s parent’s ward! We chatted and then he ran us down to see Meet the Mormons at the Legacy Theater. We hadn’t seen it and it was AWESOME!

Pause for a second. Can I just say how much I love the city? We walked back to my office/the car in the rain after the movie and let me tell you, it was wonderful. There are some crazies that hang out downtown and it can be an intimidating place for sure, but I love that my office on 4th and Main gives me the chance to spend lots of time here. I love finding restaurants, free activities, riding the train and knowing the stops by name. It’s truly a dream come true for me.

So after a night in the city on Friday, we decided to do the opposite on Saturday. We hiked up to Cecret Lake, and it was AMAZING. I love that living where we live means time in the city and up in the mountains all in one weekend. What a great place to live! 

He picked a couple flowers for me. SHHHH.

We ended our Saturday with Midvale Harvest days which was so fun! Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band were the stars of the show and they are a hoot. We headed back to our apartment just in time to see the fireworks over the city. We LOVE Midvale.
Sunday was spent at church, and then down in K-Town with family. We got to have lunch with my family, and dinner with Randy’s! How lucky are we? 
But really, I feel so so lucky. More so every day. I have a husband that I adore, we live in a place that I love, I have a job that rocks, amazing family, the list goes on and on. Thanks to every single one of YOU who brighten my life.
Happy Wednesday!

Engagements

Ok I’ve posted them all over Instagram and Facebook… so why not here, right?

Here’s a few of my favorites!

Elisha Braithwaite was our amazing photographer! I would 100% recommend her to anybody! 
This week we got to head to the Jazz game to celebrate Drew’s birthday (late) while they played the T-Wolves!
I got to see SISTER FABER for the first time since she’s been home. It was just magical.
Friends I am so sorry I’m not blogging as much as I should! Here is what else has been up:
Working on my capstone documentary. We’ve done lots of interviews, logged hours of tape, and it’s all been amazing.
Spending every free minute planning our honeymoon and trying to find a place to live! If anybody knows of an apartment in or around Salt Lake, please let me know!
PHP homework. It’s going to be the death of me.
Job interviews and applications and interviews and applications. It’ll be worth it right?
Shopping for the wedding/our future house/graduation. Randy’s pretty sick of me driving him around haha.
It’s been pretty crazy. But so incredibly fun!
Happy Friday everyone:) 

Engagement preview and documentary time

What a week! I am so busy I don’t know what to do with myself. I would go into all the details, but that’s boring. Unfortunately, because I’m engaged and graduating, it’s hard for me to focus at school! Instead of paying attention…I’m kind of just staring at pictures like these….
Our photographer is incredible. Seriously. I can’t get enough of her. Elisha Braithwaite. Check her out.
Elisha gave us two separate engagement sessions to make sure we had everything we wanted. She made us comfortable, had fun with us, and as you can see, she’s incredible at what she does. I can’t wait for more!

 
Let the invitation stuffing begin! Our invitation lady was also INCREDIBLE and sooooo easy to work with. Also check out Annette Ward, she’s awesome.

And. Move over Dateline and 20/20. We’re coming. Ok not really, but still. Working on a documentary about suicide prevention in Utah for our capstone project has been absolutely incredible. I am loving every interview, all the time spent logging tape, meeting amazing people and sharing their stories. 

 
Randy and I also manage to have a little date every once and a while, with the ducks. Feeding the ducks is one of my favorite things for some reason. 

 
Stopped by the mall the other day, and THIS is what I see. It’s made of LEGOS. If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is.  And now, it was this amazing mother of mine’s birthday this week! She’s the cutest and I am so lucky to have her as my mom. She’s so caring, kind, and truly amazing. I love you mom!

Happy Saturday everyone!

1. Engagement pictures round 1 last night. Round 2 is next week week. Bit of a fiasco with my hair and makeup, and getting there on time, but Elisha Braithwaite is pure fun to work with. Can’t wait to see how the first session turned out!

 
2. I’m going to be an AUNT. Can you believe it?? Congrats to my favorite brother and sister-in-law. Can’t wait to meet the little nugget in September (I’m secretly hoping it’s born on my birthday so we can be twins)
  
3. How cute is that face??  Happy late birthday party for Randy. My whole family got together to eat food and cake, and have Randy answer lots of questions about himself so everyone can get to know him even better (like they already haven’t known him for years;))
4. They’re cleaning the carpets here at work today. Meaning I have to scream to be heard, and I’m getting high on fumes.
5. If anyone has hookups to timeshares, or ideas for where Randy and I can go on a honeymoon, please please please let me know!
6. Apartment hunting is so exciting and stressful and wonderful and dramatic all at the same time. I just love the prospect of figuring out where our first home will be together.
7. Sorella Yost is HOME from her mission. Stand-by while I anxiously wait to talk to her!
8. Happy Saturday everyone!
