Cali Fun, Part 1 - Brittany's Wedding!!

Image
By
Hello Friends, I have recently returned from my little trip to California.  The main event for visiting California was the wedding of my wonderful and fabulous friend Brittany!  This was also the first time Danny and I have been apart for longer than 24 hours since we have been married.  With finances, his schooling and work, it just wasn't feasible for both of us to go.  I missed that husband of mine, a lot!  But I still had fun with my cousins and friends.

My trip started early Saturday morning hopping on a short flight to Oakland.  Luckily there weren't any delays.  Once I arrived, I changed into my wedding attire, met my cousin Heidi at her gate and our other cousin Julia picked us up from the airport and we headed to the Oakland temple.  (Brittany has been roommates with me and many of my cousins.  She is pretty much part of our family.)  We made it there in good time and were able to witness the sealing of Brittany and Bryce.  It was so sweet.  I'm so happy my dear friend found her other half.

In between the luncheon and reception all of us friend bridesmaids went to Fentons Creamery for ice cream.  It was a sugary sweet bonding time for us all. (Because we shared our many flavor choices with each other.)
I got mango ice cream.  It was dreamy.

Brittany and Bryce had a beautiful garden reception and an awesome food spread.  Overall, I'd say their wedding day was a success, at least from my point of view.  I was so grateful to be part of their big day!

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
