Cake

Not the band.....

But actual delicious, mouth-watering, anniversary celebrating cake.  Lemme tell you...... the lady who made our cake for our wedding is phenomenal!!! I know her personally but never knew her talent until my wedding day!  I am one lucky girl to have quite a connection.  She does this amazing thing where she gives you a free anniversary cake!  The exact same as your cake top!  How great is that!  Ours was red velvet at the wedding and we ate that one 6 months ago.  You can see how much we enjoyed it here!!  Our bottom layer of our wedding cake was her chocolate raspberry flavor.  Even though that is the flavor that we shoved into each others mouths at our reception..... well.... it's hard to remember some details of that day.  Including how good the cake was.  So we changed the red velvet to chocolate raspberry and we were definitely not disappointed!!

Here is our wedding cake (that I designed.... not to brag but I am really proud!  It's beautiful!)

 Isn't it to die for????? My flowers were done by Blossom Sweet.

Here are some pictures of our cake eating funtivites from last night :)

 I know this picture is super duper cheesy.... but it's our anniversary!  What do you expect! haha.

Oooo it was so yummy. Susan Fox is amazing!  Here is a link to her site.  Everything she has is delicious!  I recommend visiting her quaint little store and while you are there do not leave without one of her lemon bars.  YUM.....

Currently I am at work and just so super tired.  I keep sneaking in reading time while the bosses are away.... I just want to be at home with my book in the tub.  Maybe with my hubby cooking dinner too ;)

  Alright now.... Enough daydreaming.  Only 2 more hours of work to go.

I think I can - I think I can - I think I can ----

Happy Hump Day!  Hopefully this weekend comes soon! 

Our One Year Anniversary

When people told me that the first year is the hardest year I will admit it made me a little nervous.  I mean... the first year????  What could possibly happen in the first year?!?!?!?!

I found out what happens.

I grew to love Justin more and more every single day.  The first year is the hardest?  I'm laughing in the faces of everyone who told me that.  Because I have never cherished a year in my life more than this past one.  Justin makes my whole world.  I don't know what I would do without him.

I don't know if it's because we dated for 2 1/2 years or because we had to learn how to communicate when we were dating or.... etc. etc.  Times were hard while we were dating.  We had some extremely life and self changing experiences that have molded us to become better people.  Those hard times during dating though rough, made our first year of marriage a breeze....  full of fun, games, parties, family and friends.

Our first anniversary celebration was amazing.  I'd say it was more relaxing than celebrating but that is just what we needed!!!  We spent 4 amazing days in sunny (and extremely warm) St. George.  We took a daring chance and rode the new motorcycle there too!  Yes..... my parents didn't like it much.  I kept my mom updated and hopefully as worry free as possible.... So..... not that worry free. hahaha.  So grateful for parents who are always looking out for me!!! Thanks mom and dad.

Well, lets get on with the pictures now shall we!?!?!

 

Isn't he just the sweetest??

 

We were originally looking for a really nice place to eat for our Anniversary dinner.  Needless to say after a 5 hour bike ride and 2 hours in the pool.... pizza and ice cream was all that we needed.

 

 I've never been on to many vacations but the three that I have been on with my Justin have been the funnest ever!  Each time we are away from reality it brings us that much closer together and when we come back home and continue our daily routines.... those little pieces of fairytale vacations stick with us and make us so happy!!!

Can't wait for the next year!!!! and the next.... and the next... and the next...........

Have a wonderful Monday!

Some good advice I received while I've been talking about how I can't wait until these plans unfold..... never wish your life away. Enjoy the moment while you are in it and when you are older you won't have any regrets!

I guess I better stop wishing for work to end today.....

Have a great Thursday!

And happy "six months" Justin. I love you!
