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...

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...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

Things that brought me joy this week

By
This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
