August!

August is nearly over, so I shall blog about it!

It has been a pretty busy month! - I will apologize in advance I haven't taken many pictures because 1-I'm not around darling little girls all day anymore and 2- I honestly don't know where the camera is. I had it... somewhere while we were re-organizing, but both point and shoots are now MIA and I hate taking the Cannon out and about- I'm sure they are somewhere... probably with my missing TOMS, really need to find all 3!

So August!

Was a pretty calm month until the last two weeks! The beginning of the month we pretty much just tried to stay out of the heat!!

Michael raced in the Corporate Games on GoKarts and his team took silver! Going for gold next year!
I became Primary Chorister-- so out of my element! Music not my thing, but I love the kiddos and enjoy hearing them sing so sweetly!
Michael is now in Elder's Quorum presidency.
Spent a fun day (literally entire day!) At the zoo with my favorite princesses!
Decided not to sell our house... so I bought shelves... another story ;)
School started..... and

I got a job!!!! A real grown up job! Not that being a nanny wasn't a real job, but hey now I pay taxes ;)

I'm teaching pre-school at Bright Horizons and I love it! Its sometimes exhausting and sometimes I hate that you can't just tell a bratty 2 year old to knock it odd you have to use special teacher language :P But I love it! Its a facility entirely staffed by women-- so you can imagine! This week I have worked 8-10 hour days and then spent 7 hours in school, so it has been a long week but I am so excited about all the awesome awesome awesome opportunities that this new job will bring my way! Hello beginning of my career! Good bye 'jobs'.

All in all it has been a great month, now PLEASE September bring some cooler weather I'm sick of running at 9pm!!

Goodbye Little Red, Hello Bat Mobile!

July 7- 7/7 turned out to be a very memorable day!

We decided back in May to sell my little red Aveo. My first car. She did her job, but was not designed for a harsh winter. I've been lucky the last two winters, the first I had very little driving to do and this past winter was so mild. So being safety conscious we knew she had to go.

Sadly though, two days before the wedding she got a little crunched. Big owies. We came back from Mexico and she was mended and shiny like new. It was time to sell. We posted on KSL had a few interested parties but no buyer yet.

Their was a little underlying impatience Michael had his eye on a sweet new car, we were both impatient to drive it home!

So on July 7, after a trip to the farmer's market we decided to see if we could trade in the little red Aveo.

We succeeded. Michael got his brand new (force field optional) 2013 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T LTD. It is spectacularly beautiful and nearly drives itself. Katilyn asked if it could fly- I'm not sure, if it can I haven't found that feature yet but that doesn't mean it isn't there ;)

Soy Mexico!

Our fantastic honeymoon in Playa!

We loved our resort, a quiet European adults only resort! Definitely not your typical spring break type of hotel!

They had fabulous food, gorgeous pools and ocean views.

We were rained out of spending a day in the city of Playa, but made up for it by spending a beautiful day at Xcaret.

We got very good at the Non Alcol, we even put signs in our refrigerator to only refill the Agua not the Cervesas!

We were sad to say goodbye the beautiful jungle, and worry free days but real life was waiting back home! (With 100+ degree temps!)

Bridals

Memorial weekend was supposed to be the perfect weekend for bridal photos. We had planned to shoot in Memory Grove a beautiful downtown park!

But that morning it chose to rain... and rain... and rain.

Quick scan of google to find out where we could do indoor photos, and we settled on The Joseph Smith Memorial building!

Amy Jo did a great job! It was so much fun!

I have to take time to make special mention of the bouquet. Once we realized it was going to be a rainy day I wan't sure if I would actually be taking pictures. I didn't pre-order flowers, have any hair stuff of my shoes or jewelry. I picked my dress up that morning merely half done! Everything was pinned! Once we decided to go ahead and do them, while I panicked about running back to Park City to get all my crap, Michael was super man and picked out the flowers (from Costco) and made the entire bouquet after watching a you tube video! It looked so good I sent a picture to the wedding florist letting her know that was what I wanted!

It did finally stop raining and we took some shots on temple square. Careful of the wet muddy grass!
