Our Anniversary

I really can hardly believe this all happened a year ago. Time is a funny thing! I can easily say this year has been one I'll always always look back on with happiness and fondness. Scott and I have had the best time together. We have had so many blessings come our way it is unbelievable!We had fun celebrating our anniversary this weekend. We had an amazing time Friday going to the Salt Lake Temple with my parents. It was so special to go back to that beautiful place where we were married. My parents took us out for a nice dinner after, it was a lot of fun! And we loved riding in Dad's mini cooper.

On Saturday we went to Park City. We went to the Olympic Park and rode the zip line, which I've always wanted to do. It was so fun. (the pic is not of us...but for those of you who haven't seen what that zip line is like- here it is!)

After that, we checked in to our hotel, The Sundial, at the Canyons. It was awesome I loved it.
Then we had a light dinner at a great sushi restaurant on Main Street.

When we were getting up to leave the restaurant, I looked down and Scott had somehow sneaked a present on the table! It was a beautiful opal necklace that brought tears to my eyes! How special!!! I'll always remember our first anniversary when I wear it.

After dinner we stopped by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and shared an 'apple pie' caramel apple. These treats are incredible.


Anyways, it was a perfect little get-a-way to celebrate one great year.

and they call the thing a...

We went up to Preston, ID on Friday to watch the PRCA rodeo with Joe and Lisa! I can't remember the last time I went to one; it was a lot of fun. We stayed there for the entire thing so we saw all sorts of cowboy (and cowgirl) bravery.

One thing Scott and I decided is that it would be hilarious to have our future kids do this:






Mutton busting cracked us up!!!

He Came! We Saw!

Remember we got to see Wicked in April? Well Friday we were able to check another 'entertainment must see' experience off our list. The king of country George Strait was here in concert on Friday.
We have always wanted to see this show. The last time George was in Utah was 10 or 11 years ago! He was just as wonderful as we hoped. Man that guy has 57 #1 hits. Every song he sang in that two hours was a song we knew. Here we are in the car after the show...waiting in a line of 10,000 cars to get out of the parking lot. Scott is sporting my 'poser' cowboy hat. I got a few looks from some of the many true cowboys there; I don't think they approved of my little straw imitation hat :)

p.s. quick update: look who came home today (Monday)! Jenna and I are excited to have her back. Her homecoming is August 9th at 11 am.

workin 9 to 5....or later

I love my job. You all know that...but that being said, let me just say that this week I am very tired and weary from said job. It's just that usually we have about 3 concerts a month and come Saturday we have had 3 in the past week!

Three concerts means I have already hit 50 hours for the week, it means there were a few fires to put out, there were a lot of things to organize, and a lot of people to please! Our humble staff of 4 feel drained at this point. We all come to the office with the same look on our faces.

Something that has helped get us through these long days with smiles has been our music selection. We have all gone through our most embarrassing CD's and get such a kick out listening to them. Some favorites have been N'SYNC, Mandy Moore, Backstreet Boys, and Christina Aguilera (who I'll admit I STILL love). There has definitely been some Britney Spears, Beastie Boys, and Matchbox 20 in there too. I encourage you all to go dig out one jr. high CD this week and jam out in the car to it- it does wonders!

Three-day weekend

Our fourth of July holiday started on Friday with Scott's brother (Darrin)'s baseball game in park city. We were glad that a lot of Scott's family was down here for the weekend!


Later that evening we went to dinner with my family at Rooster's in Ogden. We were celebrating my parent's 30th wedding anniversary!!!


After dinner we had fun walking around 25th street, stopping in shops and looking at art. It was a really nice time.



Jeremy and Marilyn were there too...but I guess I didn't take a picture of them with my camera.










I don't know why I didn't take any pics on Saturday or Sunday either.

Saturday morning we had a fun breakfast with our neighborhood- we got there at 6:30 am. After that, we went home and slept for a few hours. Scott went golfing with his brothers and had a lot of fun.

In the evening, Scott's family came over to my parents house for a BBQ and fireworks! It was a lot of fun- they hadn't seen each other since our wedding. It was so nice for us to be able to be with both families at once! After eating we all went over to Layton High to see the fireworks. It was so fun to have Jenna and Frank there too. The grand finale this year was so great- we were all screaming and cheering. I love the fourth!!!
