Labor Day Weekend

Oh what a weekend! Andy and i spent the holiday in Idaho visiting my Family! I enjoy so much getting to spend time with my nieces and nephew. We had a good time together. I wish we could see them every day, but im grateful that compared to my big sister who lives clear over in Michigan, we can at least visit once a month! We spent Saturday night at a reception that was being held in my parents backyard. Stephanie Larson was a sunning bride and her reception was very beautiful. It was such a nice evening! Andy and i kept getting comments on how our reception was a rainy one, but to be very honest i wouldn't have it any other way! We pulled of the evening with i beautiful giant tent, space heaters, hot chocolate and sparkling lights! This weekend Andy and i are celebrating our six month anniversary! Oh time is flying, but honest it feels like i have been married my whole life! Andy has made my life so meaningful and i love him to pieces!



Our Idaho reception

Before we left to come home to Utah i got a special visit from my best friend from hair school. Lindsay had her baby in July and i have been so excited to finally meet this little guy. We had such a nice visit, and i am in love with baby Grant! I feel like i've known him forever! He is such a sweet baby and i know he makes Lindsay and her husband so happy! I miss Lindsay so much and all that time we spent completing our cosmetology hours. We joked that we spent more time together than she did at home! That's what 2,000 hours does to ya! Lindsay is such a good friend to me and im so happy for her new family!

I haven't forgotten how to blog

I was so excited to start a blog after Andy and i got married but i have to admit i am a bit embarrassed that im not doing very well at keeping updated and so in an attempt to redeem myself here's a look at whats been going on!

Andy and i have kept very busy this summer working, working, working. My job at Cookie Cutters picked up in this warm weather and im excited to have been given a promotion to store manager. Im glad to be able to build my cosmetology resume and look forward to moving on to a full service salon hopefully by next year. Andy has been very successful selling insurance and seems to enjoy it very much. He starts school mid September and is anticipating a heavy work load with school, working construction and selling insurance. He is such a hard worker and im very proud of him. We just signed up at a local gym this week too and we are enjoying being able to spend time together working out.

Highlight of our summer was of course our trip to Lake Powell with Andy's family! What a week! We love spending time with all the cousins, aunts and uncles! I got up on the ski for the first time (after many many attempts) and by brother in law Brady helped me catch my first fish!!! We were fed soooooo good the whole week and soaked up as much sun as possible! Cant wait till next year

Lastly i thought i would show off some of my summer projects i completed.

Our kitchen has such little storage space so i bought this shelving to help display some of the beautiful bowls we got as gifts from the wedding. It also has helped in keeping other kitchen utensils stored. I was so proud of myself hammering and and putting it all together!


Since we were married we have been anxious to get pictures up on our walls. In the mean time i found some frames at T.J. Max, painted them and displayed them on our book shelf! So Pretty!!!
