Celebrate!
We celebrated our two years of
marriage with a mini trip.
We headed down to Columbus and
stayed the night at The Westin.
as seen on Food Network!
It really was quite the experience.
The burgers are enormous!
I could only stomach 1/4 of mine!
Free of charge, baby!
It was a lovely way to start off our Saturday.
It was even more lovely when
we headed to the temple.
I was reminded of the week I got married
and the special feelings I had at that time
in my life. I love the temple.
We had a romantic dinner on our anniversary date.
It was at this delicious restaurant
only a block or so from our house.
We walked over, ate on their patio, and walked home.
Our bread was in the shape of lips...
...and hearts.
Okay, not really, but we thought so!
We talked about our two years together.
It has been an adventure so far and
we wouldn't have it any other way.
We got tickets from our dear friend to go see
It was absolutely breathtaking!
The venue is just gorgeous!
We had a relaxing weekend
and really enjoyed our time together.
Thanks to friends & family.
(you know who you are)
It was the perfect weekend to

Little Italy
We headed to "The Feast" this year
with some of our friends.
Lots of good food, carnival rides, and music.
We love living in Little Italy and that
we get to be a part of this celebration every year.
Dan lost his phone that night.
We searched forever, but there was no way
we were going to find it with all the people!
I went over the next morning knowing
the grounds would be empty.
I tried calling it and heard it ringing
on "The Scrambler"!!
We went on that ride the night before
and it must have slipped out of Dan's pocket!
It was stuck behind the seat and
had been there all night!
I was so excited I told everyone I saw
what had happened on my way back to my house.
What a blessing!!

California
We left Utah and went to San Clemente!
I love my little part of town.
You can smell the beach in my backyard.
It was lovely having family together.
I especially enjoyed talking with my Grandpa.
Another highlight was playing with these little kiddos!
We took a stroll to the beach....
...and relaxed on the beach.
I really loved spending time with this little girl.
She is too darn cute.
“When we have sampled much and have wandered far
and have seen how fleeting and sometimes superficial
a lot of the world is, our gratitude grows
for the privilege of being part
of something we can count on—
home and family and the loyalty of loved ones.
We come to know what it means to be
bound together by duty, by respect, by belonging.
We learn that nothing can fully take
the place of the blessed relationship of family life.”
-President Thomas S. Monson
