Cartoon Dan

Doesn't this look like my husband as a cartoon? haha

Ok I know this is totally random, but this cartoon guy is on Honda commercials and every time I see it I tell Dan it's him as a cartoon!

Moving... again!

Remember all those photos I posted of our new condo? Well, we are moving, again! This has been the craziest summer. We were planning on buying the condo we were in, but there are all these legal issues the seller is having, meaning we couldn't buy the place until he got that all sorted out. It's been one big mess and we are sick of it, so we've decided to get out of the situation. I also wasn't loving the ward (not sure if i'm allowed to say that) and the commute was driving me crazy! I guess 20-25 min. wasn't that bad, but I was used to a 5 min. drive to work. We've got 10 days to find a new place. We're thinking Springville. It's closer to BYU (where i'll be teaching) and less crowded than the Provo/Orem area. I'll put up pics of the new place, once we find it!

Anniversary!

Saturday we woke up to a rainy morning. We had originally planned to go to Park City to celebrate our anniversary, but everything we wanted to do was outside! We sat around for a while and eventually the rain cleared up. Dan asked me what I wanted to do for our anniversary and I told him I wanted to go to Gardner Village because I have always wanted to go there and have never been. So we went! And it was probably the cutest place I have ever been, I LOVED it! I now have a dream of opening up a shop there and working there for the rest of my life :) It has all these cute boutiques, and little shops. We walked through all of the shops and had a fun time looking, however, everything there was pretty expensive. Even the clearance areas were expensive. Except, we did end up buying one thing. You see, we walked into a shop and it smelled so good! So I asked the lady what the smell was and she showed me these little envelopes that smell really good. You put them in your house and they make it smell good, the one I liked was called Orange Honey. It was only $2.95- so we got 2! :)

Here I am at Gardner Village with our only purchase. They even put it in a cute bag with tissue paper and a bow. Adorable!

And this is us with the big water wheel behind us at the Gardner Village.

After Gardner Village Dan took me to another craft store in Salt Lake that I have been wanting to go to. And he bought me these cute wood letters! Once we were done doing all the girly things, Dan picked the next activity. He decided he wanted to go to Boondocks, because neither of us have ever been there. It's a family fun center. We played mini golf and games in the arcade. Dan loves arcades! And did I mention the weather was perfect? It was probably in the 70's- basically unheard of for a Utah summer. It felt great to be outside and the mini golf course was the best one we have ever been to. And surprisingly, we've actually been to a lot.

Here we are at Boondocks, the sun obviously in our eyes. You can't tell, but we are on the mini golf course here.

After Boondocks, we went to Chilis for dinner. I love Chilis! We got their 2 for $20 deal, which is the best deal ever. You get an appetizer, 2 entrees, and a dessert to share, all for just $20. We then went home and watched "Night at the Museum". Ok, Dan watched "Night at the Museum," I fell asleep!

Then on Sunday, our real anniversary, we went to church. After church I planned a nice dinner for Dan. I made him steak! It's the first time i've ever made steak and it actually turned out pretty good. I was so proud of myself.

And here's the lovely table setup. Candle and all!

After dinner Ethan (Dan's brother) and Tiana (his wife), came over and ate dessert with us. We had plenty of dessert so we decided to share. We hung out with them the rest of the night.

It was a great anniversary! Thanks to my husband for doing all those cutesy things with me. He is the best!

Guess what happened...

1 year ago from today? This did:

Happy 1 year anniversary to us! It has been a really great year and it has gone by so fast. I have such an amazing husband and look forward to sharing many more years together. We have been celebrating all weekend long. I will have to write about it later. I love you, Dan! Thanks for such an awesome first year!

NY Trip

We just got back from NY, so I thought I'd post some of our photos. We had a really fun time visiting my parents!
