summer recap

Because I am a horrible blogger in general, I always tend to skip over a bunch of fun stuff that made up my Summer. But I just can't pass up all the photos from the summertime that are just sitting in my iPhoto so I have no choice but to do a summer recap. Let me warn you though... it is always a photo overload so prepare yourself.

Also, in honor of tradition, I will be doing a Summer recap poem. I am no poet. But it makes it a little more fun. haha

Our Graphic Design BFA Exhibition called NEUE (pronounced NEW) ended senior year on great terms,

-

and so did a little brunch with some good friends at Herms.

-

I walked in my cap & gown to get my diploma

-

-

then jetted off to LA with my momma when it was all over.

-

We had a blast, just roaming the city.

-

We ate Sprinkles ice cream, and took pictures of shadows that were pretty.

-

In a matter of months my belly grew and grew leading to many belly shots.

-

We vacationed in the sun amongst the red rocks.

-

We went to St. George for a big Stephens Family Reunion.

-

and then headed back to LA for our 2nd anniversary and babymoon.

-

The Dodgers, beach, and my favorite surfboard sugar cookies left us satisfied.

-

And a trip to the cool driving range ended our trip just right.

-

Golfing became Cam's newest addiction.

-

Meanwhile, mine became going to the pool to lounge in the sun. 

-

Two cute Shewolves tied the knot! 

-

and resulted in a lot of great photobooth shots!

-

We took Lamaze class to prep for the baby

-

And Cam lit some fireworks and things got a little bit crazy.

-

We traveled for work to Salt Lake, Driggs, Boise, IF and many more places.

And in the midst of this work we snuck in a few photos of our faces.

And that's a wrap!

See, I told you I was horrible at poetry but that was my Summer in a nutshell! 

So much fun and so busy. The busy-ness definitely helped this pregnancy go by quickly and made for lots of good memories for our last summer with just the two of us! Here's to many more summer recaps ahead of us.

our first year

ONE YEAR! I know, it's crazy!

How has a year already come & gone right before our eyes?

I feel like it was just yesterday that I put on a white dress and married the best boyfriend ever {he still is, btw}.

To celebrate our first anniversary, Cam and I took a little road trip to Las Vegas making a few stops along the way. We didn't really have a concrete plan besides the nights that we booked in Vegas so we pretty much just did whatever our hearts desired for a week! It was so great—no work, just fun.  We love this summer in Logan but once in a while you've just gotta get out. 

First of all, we kicked off our trip by digging into our frozen cake.. which we only took one bite of. haha

Our trip started by heading up to a place that is near & dear to my heart: West Yellowstone. We stopped at Mesa falls on the way and then saw Beauty and the Beast at the Playmill Theatre. This show was extra fun to watch for me because the last time the playmill put it on, I was just lucky enough to be in it :)

Then we started in the direction of Vegas but we couldn't resist a little stop at Lagoon. Neither one of us had been in a really really long time so we had been wanting to do this for a while now. Going on all the rides made me realize that my body just can't handle those crazy rides the way that it used to! At least now I know which rides to avoid.

Our next stop was St. George. We won a free rental at The Beach at Sand Hollow so we had a little night of boating, surfing and swimming with friends which was the perfect way to escape the suffocating desert heat!

{we also stopped at the narrows on our way back from Vegas, which took a little bit of a pep-talk to get through. ha!}

And then, we finally made it to Vegas where we relaxed, shopped, and ate, a lot. We also visited the Vegas sign which surprisingly neither on of us had done before.

 It was so much fun to take a trip with just the both of us. It made me especially reminiscent of our honeymoon {watch here}. I am so happy and thankful every day that I married a boy who I love more and more everyday. I thought I loved him as much as I could possibly on the day I married him but I love him 365x more than that now. Even though we are not perfect people, I know that we are perfect for each other.

happy One-Year to us!
