I did get married but...

Alison is the only one who has blogged about it...haha.

Married life is just so fun and busy I haven't gotten to it yet. I will soon. And also our fun honeymoon trip to CA. But for now check out Alison's coverage of the wedding!

Thanks Schmal!

It's that time of year again!

 Time for Torrey Utah and Cafe Diablo! The tradition continues!! Except this year instead of cousins and friends, I went with my husband! Fun change! And it was my birthday!
We drove down Friday after work and ate at the 5-star restaurant Cafe Diablo and had coconut calamari, Ribs and enchiladas, fruit tart, homemade ice cream and chocolate cake! Mmmmm. Then we camped at the Sunglow Campground.


 

 
 

 Bryan checked out all the historical markers along the way. This was a marker for an old wheat mill.

 Breakfast...and a souvenir!

 We stopped at the Fruita Orchard Homestead for breakfast. Or dessert actually. Bryan had a mini peach pie and I had a lemon poppyseed scone. And I bought a new hot pad!

 Another marker for the Indian Peace treaty!


 I really love this tradition. And I hope it will grow on Bryan :) (He liked it but didn't love the 3.5 hour drive even though we read The Hobbit, ate Starbursts, and sang Disney songs at the top of our lungs)

Check out last year and the tire fiasco!

And the year before that and the Goblins!

Go Forth and Labor

Happy Labor Day!! Don't you love 3 day weekends? We do. Even though I had to work on Saturday we had a lot of fun sleeping in everyday and going hiking on Labor Day.

 We hiked up to Blanche Lake and the weather was perfect, blue skies, puffy white clouds, breezy and sunny. It was perfect.  Bryan skipped stones on the lake. He's good.

 

Tomorrow we will be married 3 weeks. Happy Anniversary!

Married Life. nbd.

Here is the first picture I took of my husband!!

 We stopped at Carl's Junior after we got sealed for a honey mustard chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a Coke. Bryan told the girl at the drive thru that we had just gotten married. I'm sure it wasn't obvious.

 We drove to Vegas after we unwrapped our car of the 3,000 feet of saran wrap and oreo cookies...

 Aren't honeymoons the best?! Even though Vegas in August averages 114 degrees and a windchill of about 200 degrees, we didn't mind :) Our hotel room was super swanky on almost the top floor overlooking the strip. We went and saw the Jabbawockeez. It's a dance crew show and it was awesome. We also watched the Bellagio fountains which is one of my most favorite things.

Then we came home and went back to real life. Sad face.


This weekend we decided to go up Milcreek Canyon to roast hotdogs and break in Bryan's new dutch oven. He is the master of peach cobbler. We also had a small casual dance party around the fire using the sounds of a nearby wedding. It was so much fun.

 I love being married. And I especially love being married to Bryan. I think he is the best husband ever. I love hanging out with my best friend everyday. He is the sweetest, funniest, most attractive guy I know. And he makes me cobbler, need I say more?

Ok I will. He does dishes.

p.s. I finally registered my car in the state of Utah after living here for 2.5 years. I shed a small tear and I still haven't put my new plates on my car yet. Somehow I feel like taking off my California plates means I'm not a Californian anymore.  I'll get over it, I hope.

Life is busy when you're ENGAGED!!!

Its true. I'm engaged. To Bryan Joshua Luke. He's pretty great. And he could be a model. Obvi.

The day is August 14th. Be there.

The REAL cake.

This was my first and probably last attempt at a wedding cake. My roommate Sarah asked me to make her cake. I wasn't nervous about it until about 2 hours before the wedding when I only had one cake finished...haha. The cakes didn't make it exactly on time but I don't think anyone noticed.






I loved delivering the cakes because everyone jumped out of our way as we carried them through the reception to the cake table like we were pros. I also loved seeing people admire the cakes knowing that I, the cake-baker, was standing right beside them. I felt so honored to play such a big role in Sarah and Christian's wedding, thanks for the opportunity but please don't ask me ever again :)

Thanks so much to my roommates Emily and Michelle for helping me move and transport the cakes, and especially for calming me down when I thought all of the icing was going to slide off.
Oh and thanks to the weather for not being so hot that all of the icing would slide off.
