2 years ago...

2 years ago yesterday Trevor and I said "I DO". We celebrated by going to Benihana's and red boxing a movie. It was so much fun. I would love to relive our wedding day, it was such a blast and I am so grateful I get to spend eternity with Trevor! Happy Anniversary!

Bergen Peak

This is why I love Colorado. I know that I can wake up drive an hour, hike for 2 and then be here...





Last weekend I had Saturday off so Trevor and I took full advantage of it. We got up and headed to the farmers market by our house and bought lots of fun stuff- like 2 different kinds of BBQ sauce and some amazing bread. We then headed out to Evergreen to hike Bergen peak. It was gorgeous and we had a blast! It was so nice to have the sun out, it seems like we had the longest winter that would never end. Colorado, we love you!

smiles

Whenever I need to brighten my day I look at this picture and cant help but smile. I just love her little face and that little smile. She is such a doll, trevor and I can't get enough of her :)

Europe 2010

Trevor and I both graduated last August and for our graduation present from my parents they gave us a trip to a destination of our choice. It took us months to decided on places...Thailand, Brazil, Bora Bora. All seemed to fall through and we decided to go to Europe. Trevor had never been and I am absolutely in love with the culture, food, and landscape there. We booked our tickets and were very excited! Then 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave the volcano erupted in Iceland and threatened our plans- flights were canceled for five days. We finally got out and were 8 short hours away from London. We got to London and first thing we did was eat and then hop onto a double decker tour bus to see all of the sights! It was such a great way to see all of them and we loved it. The texas embassy photo is of the building where the tickets were sold for the Titanic. I absolutely loved London and would love to live there. It doesnt have a reputation for good food but we lucked out and got some great food. We wandered the city and saw all that we could in such a short period of time. I fell in love with Harrods and my mom and I wandered around the food rooms and the entire Kensington area, it was a blast.

We spent three days in London and then took the Chunnel to Paris which was fun to see the country side of England and France. We got to Paris and I was excited to speak French. We stayed in an apartment and it was great to have room to relax. It was really cold while we were there, much colder than forecasted so I spent ten days in my north face jacket and beanie. Paris is such a massive city with huge buildings. It was so much fun to see all of the architecture and eat all of the food. There were some days I consumed 100% carbs. My dad claimed on day 9 that bread and cheese was seaping out of his pores. We rented Vespas one day and went all over the city, it was so amazing to see ALL of the city.

We then rented a car and drove down to Switzerland. I couldn't wrap my mind around how green and plush everywhere in Europe was, it never ended. We drove through lots of small towns and finally got to Switzerland. We stopped in Bern but stayed in Interlaken and hiked and played for 2 days. It was gorgeous. We took a gondola up to a little town called Gimmelwald where no cars are aloud and its a population of 30. Its the adventure capital of switzerland. My dad and I did a canyon swing which is a 180 foot drop before a rope catches you and you swing between 2 canyon walls, what an experience. We spent the last night in Geneva, the watch capital of the world. The volcano erupted again and canceled our flight, bummer :) My mom and I hoped we would be stuck all week and we could take the train somewhere but my dad and Trevor had to get back to work so my brother called and got us on a flight through frankfurt that was 2 hours longer because they went about greenland, we then missed our connection in chicago, and finally got home. 24 hours of travel. We felt like train wrecks! But it was all worth it. It was an amazing trip and I already miss it. We are so grateful to my parents, thanks, we love you!!

Food Storage

So, I have known for quite sometime that I should have my food storage done but the thought of it exhausted me. Then, Trevor got on a kick about how we need to do it and he looked into it and then my mom, my sister in law, and me all decided to suck it up and do it. So after many calculations of just how much food (most of which I dont eat) we will need for a year we figured it all out. We had a long trip to costco and an even longer trip to the cannery. We were there for 5 hours and didn't stop moving, I have a new found respect for factory workers. I have never been this tired. We had the help of another group and a great guy named Fred who helped us do all of it in one night. When we first walked in and said we wanted to do it all, they laughed and said we would be lucky to get the flour done. But with much help and lots of non stop work we did it. I did labels and the oxygen packets and the actually canning machine while my mom and kristy filled the cans and fred then applied the stickers. The people were great to work with and I can't tell you how great it feels to have it done! It was lots of fun to do it with my mom and kristy- it was quite entertaining. Trevor came at the end and had to bring his truck becuase we couldn't fit it all in the Tahoe and there is no way Kristy and I could have loaded it all. This is everything I did tonight, not inlcuding everything from costco. Now, where to put it all!!! I am so grateful for the the church and for the guidance it gives us. The system they have for this is unbelievable- so it must be important! The cannery and I will have another date 30 years from now!!

Europe!

23 days from today we will be here...
and here...
and here...
Now, just getting through the next 23 days of work!

Spring Break AZ twenty ten

This year we headed out to Arizona for our annual Spring Break with Trevor's fam. We couldn't wait to leave the snow behind and get some sun! The hotel was amazing! We got there early Friday morning and headed right to the pool and ordered lunch and just sat in the sun, it was amazing. That night we went to Grimaldi's, the best pizza place in Arizona, and then went shopping at Scottsdale mall to get our Easter presents from Kenna- she is the best! Saturday Trevor went golfing and the girls stayed at the pool and had a huge Brunch. That night we went to dinner at Trevor's aunt's house and then went to see Invictus. Not everyone liked it, but I enjoyed it, the history was amazing. Sunday we layed out and played lots of tennis then went to a Mexican restaurant that made us all feel like we were having a "food baby". We came back and played some more tennis until about 11 at night. Monday Trevor and I went running up a mountain by the hotel and then ate a huge breakfast again and then headed to the Rockies Spring training game. It was so much fun. We then rushed to in n out and then RUSHED to the airport. It was such a blast and we already miss the sun!
