Honeymoon

We went to Anaheim, California for four days and stayed at an awesome Marriott.  We soaked up some warm sun at the beach, hung out with Mickey at Disneyland, watched the Angels get killed, had the best shakes at Ruby's Diner, and wined and dined (minus the wined) at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.  I think we'll be ready for another honeymoon soon. :)

Before  we could leave, we had to deal with this (we can't complain... no toothpaste, oreos, etc.):

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (where the steak melts in your mouth):

Free chocolate dipped strawberries and sparkling cider if it's your honeymoon at the Marriott:

So the Angels lost 13-1, but we still had fun:

May 2, 2009

This was basically the best day ever.  Despite the gusty wind and the sheets of rain all morning and afternoon, the day was perfect, everything went perfectly, and it ended with a beautiful, sunny evening.  We loved seeing/meeting lot's of good family and friends from both near and far, and couldn't have asked for a better day.  Thanks to everyone who shared this special day with us!

Peace out, Tanner Building!

Once upon a time in 2007, I entered the Tanner building for the first time ever.  Two years later, I left the Tanner Building for the first time ever... when I graduated with my MPA.  There are definitely some things I will miss, such as racking in free doughnuts, brownies, and pizza from accounting firms who thought everyone in the Tanner Building was in the accounting program, whole-class group g-chats to keep everyone awake through boring classes, and of course the dozens of free t-shirts and pens.  There are some other things I won't miss so much, such as the never-ending group meetings, the 50-100 page papers, and the statistics/accounting classes.  All in all, it was a life-changing experience that I learned so much from and am so grateful to have had.  Here's the "proof" I graduated:

A formal introduction...

I have always been one to think that blogging is for married people... I mean, they just have more to talk about, right?  They can cover their blogs with pictures of their kids, the details from their latest family vacations, and let's not forget the really important part... on special occasions such as birthdays or when they get "tagged" they actually have someone with which to dedicate their "top 5 reasons why I love so-and-so" post to. Single people?  Not so much... Pictures of kids?  Not unless they are nieces or nephews.  Getting tagged?  Just a little more salt in the "single" wounds. 

For all of these reasons, plus some, I did not want to enter the blogging world alone... yet my uncanny ability to make some of the most awkward situations ever, along with my luck of seeing the most odd things (especially around Provo) gave me a plethora of material that sparked my desire for sharing these joys through a blog.  Fortunately, I had a dear friend and "bunkmate", Sara Beth, who had the same said ability/desire.  The two of us embarked together on a new journey into the world of blogging through "The Bunk Bulletin."

While my first blogging experience was a good one, I have slowly fallen away from blogging.  I'm just not that great at it... I procrastinate the post and then forget about it.  However, now that I am married, I have been asked by many people if we have a blog yet and what it is, typically followed by some statement such as this: "you're married now, you have to have a blog," or "all married people have blogs."  People couldn't have cared less if I had a blog when I was single... But the second I got married, it became an instant hot topic.  Therefore, I prove my point... married people have to have a blog. 

So, family and friends, without further adieu, (and without any near-future kid pictures and "top five reasons" posts),  I give you our new blog.  Enjoy!
