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 th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
