Loving Us

Last week was our third anniversary! Marriage has brought a level of happiness we couldn't even fathom, I love celebrating 'us'.

For our first anniversary, we spent the weekend in Park City and I fell in love with apple pie caramel apples.

Last year, we sprung for some China dishes and made our own rug!

This year, our big day fell on a Tuesday, so we worked a half day and then met up.  After thinking a lot about what we wanted to do, we decided that more than anything, we wanted to go back to the city where it all started.

We realized we have never taken a picture of the exact place we first met, so we visited the bus stop where it all began.  For those who don't know, Scott and I met when he sat next to me on a bus!  We went on a date two days later and that was that.

After this picture we drove around town looking at our old apartments, school, and hang-outs (and having a blast reminiscing about the 'old times'), and we went to a movie together.  We did a little shopping and had a nice dinner.  It was a great way to spend a Tuesday. 

Happy anniversary to all my friends who also got married in 2008...it was kind of a landmark year! 

All four

It was that time of year again, my brother, sister, and I were excited to be invited back to perform at the Free Sunday Concert Series.  Scott took some awesome pics that I'm so excited to have, like the above one of my mom and dad watching us play.

The reason for the blog title (all four), is because my older brother joined us for the first time!  He made an awesome arrangement of a Coldplay song and we all got to perform together.

It was a very memorable night, thanks for the pictures (and support) Scott!

Workplace

I came home from Hawaii to a new job (fun!) and therefore, a new cubicle...a very very gray cubicle. That just wasn't going to do, so I've slowly been accessorizing.

These adorable birds-on-a-wire are from Z Gallerie

I love random stuff that makes me smile.

And of course...a little candy jar.  A must when you're trying to make new friends!

Look what we've been up to!  For 15 beautiful days we were living the dream in Hawaii.

My parents planned the most amazing vacation, we loved every minute! Our first week was spent in Oahu.

Snorkeling at Shark's Cove

Thankfully there weren't sharks, but this is one
 of the many sea turtles we saw!

Scott and I both loved snorkeling

Paradise!

The signs were there

I love when Scott leaves me little notes around the house.  He does it from time to time, and I have found several lately.  Back in April, when I was leaving the house for my first job interview, I found a note taped to our front door.  It said "Knock em dead! You're the best." It made me smile and gave me a boost. I decided to put it on our fridge and keep it up there until I was offered a job. 

Twenty-four days later, I had my first interview with Deseret Book.  After 19 emails, 4 interviews, and three trips downtown, I was offered the job I was so hoping to get! I was extremely humbled and completely excited! My title is "Music and Film Publicist".  Deseret Book owns a record label and film distribution company, so I'm working with both of those.  


On my very first day of work last week, I got in the car to find this sign from Scott on my passenger seat:

Ha ha, I say this often, but "Scott knows me so well".  It's a pretty safe bet that I totally would have headed north on the freeway out of habit.  Scott was thorough...when I got to the bottom of our hill, I spotted this sign: 

I have only one word to describe that. Adorable.
