Moving Day

On Valentines Day weekend, instead of spending time being all lovey dovey and romantic, we moved! So fun.. anyone who knows me knows I HATE moving. This time it was especially fun (sarcasm) because it was with Brad. Lets just say I packed a few boxes, and Brad unpacked them to make them "man worthy" after awhile I just stopped packing. Talking to a few friends though, I guess most guys are the same way. So note to self, next time we move.. which is hopefully into a house Brad will be doing all the packing, I will be doing all the unpacking. :)

Of course I still love him, its so fun getting to know each other and what drives the other crazy. Brad has learned to turn on the facet and close the door when he is clipping his nails also. Don't ask me why, but that noise is like a train hitting me! I can't stand it.

So back to our new place.. We got everything moved in, including our 500lb fridge which Brad almost broke his back pushing up the stairs, and come to find out.. it doesn't fit!! So we have it sitting in our dining room, and our dining room table is in our living room. Its still a home though.. we think! Then our shower head was so short, we both had to bend backwards to wash our hair.. that lasted about a week and we went and got a new one. We also are having a lot of cockroaches come say hi. Most the time i'm home by myself and I scream like some one is going to come save me.. and no one does. By the time Brad gets home, they are no where to be found. Super disgusting huh! We are going to get an air raid soon trust me!

Pictures to come.

Sundance Film Festival

Brad and I went with some of our best friends to Park City this year to check out the Sundance Film Festival. Brad and the boys went snowboarding while the girls stayed in and got massages and went shopping of course. We went out on the town and saw a few C or D celebrities.. we can't remember their names so not that big of a deal. It was still such a good time spending time with friends. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

2010 A-Mazing!

Best New Years Ever!

Every year I always put so much expectation on New Years, you get it so hyped up and then its a huge let down. Well this year was amazing, in every way. Our friends Janelle and Matt drove our from Arizona to celebrate his 30th Birthday. Janelle wanted to surprise him with his first trip to Disneyland, so we joined and let me tell you it was a blast!

The only bummer was that it was literally 30 degrees outside and so it was freezing. Luckily music was pumping throughout the park so I just danced around to keep warm it was so fun. We got there at 10am and stayed until it closed which was at 2am. Let me tell you, I was beat by the end of the night that the next day I was super sick. I didn't mind one bit though, i danced hard and had a blast!

Argentina = Epic

My dear friends, its been so long since I have posted anything. I hope you will forgive me. We have been so busy with family vacations, and with traveling around the world.. sorta! I was lucky enough to be able to go to Argentina for our Holiday catalog photoshoot. Brad tagged along and we had such a great time. We went to Buenos Aires, and Bariloche which is definitely what I want my heaven to look like someday. Bariloche is known for its chocolate (insert smiley face) and beautiful views.



I mean really? I was at this spot, its not a picture from a postcard. The picture doesn't even do this area justice. After 3 long days of me working and Brad trying to find his lost luggage we headed back to Buenos Aires. We missed our flight going out, so sadly we had to stay another night in Buenos Aires.. which means I got to go do a little shopping! (insert smiley face). Buenos Aires had some AMAZING shopping, I had a smile on my face all day long.

If you are ever looking for a unique place to go to, I would recommend Bariloche!

Happy 1 Year to Us!

WOWIE! One whole year since we have been living in pure bliss! What a fun time we have had! For our Anniversary we spent our time down in Laguna Beach which I love. Brad surprised me with an oceanfront view, which was breathtaking!! We couldn't have been any closer to the ocean. We munched on a ton of food, sushi, pizza, and gelato! We got lots of sun and had a blast.

Cruisin in a Woody

Over the 4th, we had so much fun with friends. We had BBQ, watched fireworks and rode in our friends the Large's Woody. It was so fun watching everyone stare and wave. We fit everyone in perfectly snug!

Proposal Video

Just in case any of you would like to see how Brad proposed, now you can. Just an fyi, after he proposes the rest of it is mushy kissing so you can stop after that. My favorite part is when Brad just points to the golf ball haha! "Oh, Look! There's a pink golfball"

ELEVEN

It was just last year at this time that it was one more month till we got married, now its only one more month that we have been married a YEAR! I remember as a teenage thinking I was in love, and of course you think you are, ever one goes through it. However, you don't truly know what love is until you are married and you just keep growing more and more in love with that person. Its the best feeling ever!

This month we have learned...
- The more dorky I am, I think the more Brad is happy he married me.
- The more dorky Brad is, the more I am happy I married him.
- You have to date couples, we are dating the Hadley's this month, its going pretty well so far.
- Putting up dead animals in the house is a funny joke, but only for a minute.
- When Brad watches sports with one of his friends (Todd or Bryan) it sounds like there is 10 of them.
- I am so happy that basketball is over, now I just need Soccer to be over.
- Brad still thinks its crazy we are married, I don't know if he will ever actually realize that we are!
- When we watch a reality show like American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance, Brad is one of the judges.

Brad redecorates the house

So you should never leave your husband alone for 4 days. Especially when he is hanging out with a friend who is trying to get him into hunting. This is what I came home to Sunday night, scared me to death!! Isn't he sweet?

*Note - the picture doesn't even show how big this bunny is, it has huge horns!!

Brad can do tricks and flips

For Memorial Day weekend we went with some of our good friends the Hadley's to Don Pedro Lake up North. It was so fun and I was so proud of Brad and all the cool tricks he did. Check em out!



Pictures from our Trip will be coming soon, I just need to get them developed.

A year since he put a ring on it!

I cannot believe that its already been a year since Brad proposed to me. Its so crazy how much time flies when you are in love and having fun. Yes, that is cheesy, but so true! If you need a refresher, here is how he did it.

My Birthday Weekend

Wow, its been a long time since I posted about anything. Mostly because I'm waiting to get pictures back from all the things we have been doing.

For my birthday week, Brad took me out to dinner Thursday (the day before) he told me we were going to get italian food, and some yummy dessert. He told me we needed to leave by 7:15, so I am thinking we have reservations at 7:30, so when we get there i notice we are running a bit late, and he said oh shoot, I forgot to make reservations. I was a little upset about that.. regardless we arrived at Cheesecake Factory, and put in a reservation (which was already made) and some close friends of mine were there to surprise me! He is so good at surprises, last year he stirred up this one. I was so happy, the Dinsbachs, and Bartells were awesome to attend.


Friday on my birthday, I got spoiled by my friends at work, flowers, treats, lunch, it was awesome. Afterwards Brad and I drove out to Palm Springs for a relaxing weekend with his family. Saturday night his parents took us out to dinner to get sushi yummy!

The week after we went wakeboarding with a few of our married friends.

9 months!

No, I'm not pregnant its 9 months since Brad and I have been married! So crazy, and the sad thing about it was that we realized it at dinner while we had our friends The White's over. Time has sure flown its insane!

Here are some things that I have loved about the 9 months.
* Brad knows how to make me happy if i've had a bad day, CHOCOLATE
* Brad is a great planner, and surpriser, I'm not so good.
* We are finally both starting to get back in to our workout routines, 9 months later!
* Brad is finally getting me to use our crock pot, so we have been having friends over for dinner.
* Waking up and falling asleep next to him will never get old.
* When Brad works out, Brad needs to eat.. lots and lots more! Which means I want to eat more and more.. no bueno!
* Biggest Loser will always be our favorite show to eat chocolate to.
* Family hand me downs are the best. (we got a new computer, and surround sound, awesome!)
* Skype is the worlds best invention, I have been video talking to my parents every Sunday.
* Grateful that Brad doesn't get annoyed that I talk to a computer while visiting with my parents.

Until 10 months!

Easter Fun!

Easter Weekend we went out to Palm Springs to spend time with Joe and his adorable little girls. Brad is going to be such a great dad, I can already tell. We painted eggs, swam, and got lots of sun.

Tom Kat

So I love this picture, first of all I think Brad and I resemble Tom Cruise and Katie, secondly this was the first time Brad and I hung out with any of our friends since we got back from our honeymoon. I don't know why but I felt so awkward, I think just because people kept asking "so how's married life" when in reality I knew what they really wanted to ask. I like awkward moments.. I just don't think I play them off well. I'm not awkward anymore.. probably because people don't ask, they can just tell. Married life is indeed wonderful!

Birthday Crepes

Brad with our Red Plate.. He might kill me for putting this up!

So for Brad's Birthday I made him some yummy wheat crepes. So good! He always makes his so pretty. We then went to eat Sushi at our favorite sushi spot, Sushi On Fire. Then we went and got Brad some much needed new clothes for his special day!

Happy Birthday Bradley Jay!

Today is the year mark of the birth of an amazing man.

Happy Birthday To My Best Friend. Here is why my husband is amazing!

1 - You are the best roommate I have ever had
2 - You look amazing in a suit
3 - When you make the best water with lemon in it
4 - You don't mind when I fall asleep at 10pm, sometimes 9pm at night
5 - You encourage and inspire me to do better, even if sometimes I just want to eat chocolate.
6 - You eat the food I make, even if its just mac and cheese, tater tots, or pizza.
7 - You like to watch my fashion/girl shows and pretend to like them.
8 - You don't say anything about my stinky breath in the morning, even when I complain about yours.
9 - You take me to get yogurt when I have had a really bad day, or just because.
10 - You like it when my hair is in a pony tail, and I have no make up on.

The end!

One of our favorite wedding gifts

Out of all of our wonderful wedding gifts, this was one of the favorites. Our friend Shauna painted one of our favorite pictures. She is so talented. Check out her shop "Little Shop of Shavs"

Oh Love

So since this month is almost over, and it is love month I thought i'd end it off with a love story. Precious, I know!!

I still remember the day that Brad told me he loved me. Mostly because I was waiting SOOOOOO long for him to tell me. I knew that I loved him when I went out to Palm Springs for Thanksgiving and I met his whole family for the first time. I never did tell him, because that is the guys job. So for Christmas when Brad came out to surprise me it finally happened. We were sitting on my parents new couch in front of the fire place, cuddling of course. He started saying Lace... and then paused for like 5 minutes, and finally said it! Ooh it was the best feeling in the world! I guess he originally actually wanted to wait until New Years, but luckily he didn't.
