John + Sarah

On Saturday my old roommate and good friend Sarah got married.  They were married in the Manti temple and we were so lucky to get to go.  The temple and the sealing were so beautiful and afterward they had a wonderful dinner.

Sarah was the most beautiful bride I have seen in awhile and they are such a cute, happy couple.  Congratulations to John & Sarah!

Lunch Break

I love spending my lunch breaks with Marcus.  Sometimes it feels like we can get so much done in a short hour.  

Today we ate our lunch, shared a Jamba Juice, and then wandered around Bed Bath & Beyond looking at all of the kitchen gadgets that someday we will have.  If I let him Marcus would buy every skillet, griddle, wok and other cool accessory for his grill.  

This is our life.

Summer

Saturday finally felt like summer, and we spent the afternoon at the lake to prove it.  The water was freezing but the sun felt amazing.

 This weekend also included:

*eating way too much of the best Thai food, massaman curry and beef waterfall salad at Sawadee

*Joshua James concert at the State Room, and running into Becca there

*delicious barbecued steak, fresh corn on the cob, and sauteed onions and mushrooms

*Lots and lots of Baggo for Marcus :)

*and a birthday dinner for my dad.

I love summer weekends.

BFFs

Heidi is home!  Heidi just got home from her mission to Toyko Japan last week and all of us girls were able to hang out a couple of times.  We got delicious FHzookies, had a bridal shower for Sarah, and went to Heidi's homecoming.  It was so much fun for us all to be together and it was SO nice to see that even though all of these girls have done and accomplished SO much, nothing really has changed.  I am so lucky to have these girls for my best friends!

More Fun

Marcus and I got to spend another weekend in St. George.  We go there so often lately it seems like we should just buy a summer home there, no?  We're working on it... :)  Anyway, we went down with some friends and stayed at their parent's house.  We had such a great weekend and had fun playing tennis, eating good food, swimming and enjoying the hot weather, and going glow-in-the-dark mini golfing.  We've never done that before but it really was so cool.  Thanks guys for the great weekend!
