Wedding Day

A few weeks ago, my friend Kristy was married in the Salt Lake Temple to Ryan White. It was such a beautiful day with sunny skies - a little chilly, but nice. Nick and I were invited to the sealing and it was so special. That was the second time that Nick and I had been to a sealing at the Salt Lake Temple since we had been married (the first time was at our friend's Ryan & Chelsea's wedding one year exactly from the day Nick & I were married). It brought back wonderful memories of our wedding day and the promises that we made to each other. After the sealing, we waited outside for the newlyweds. There was a little drama for Kristy because her zipper wouldn't zip up on her wedding dress! We were all worried for her while we waited...but she did come out without any problems. She looked so gorgeous. We took pictures outside and visited with Kristy's family. Nick and I went with Brittney that night to Kristy's reception. We met up with Whitney and Oakleigh too. It was a wonderful day and it was great to be at the temple and with Nick.

Party Time!

Last night was my friend Kristy's bridal shower/bachelorette party! Whitney and I met up to buy Kristy a present and then headed down to South Jordan for the bridal shower. I got to see little Miss Oakleigh too which was so fun. Brittney met up with us a while later. We opened presents and then went to dinner at Zupa's! Delicious! We had a great time talking and laughing about old times and all the wedding news that's going on with Kristy. Afterwards, we went back and hung out some more. We spent time playing more games and talking. It was such a fun night and it ended with going to see Kristy's new apartment.

Brittney, Kristy, Whitney, and I met when we all started working at Legacy House in Bountiful as CNA's. We all had so much fun working together and have been friends ever since. It has been about 6 years now since working at Bountiful House. Time goes by so fast, but I'm so glad that we have been able to maintain our friendships and still have a great time together.

Cute Oakleigh - she loves to stick out her tongue and hold her arms up...pretty much all the time. She is so stinkin' cute!

Breakfast with the girls...

This morning, Jessica, Val, and I went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. I had banana chocolate chip pancakes and the girls said the the muffins are "the best", so I got two to go - one for me and one for Nick. It was really fun to get together with the girls from the neighborhood. I have had a really great time living in Farmington Crossing. Many of the people that live here are couples that are Nick and my ages so we have been able to make a lot of friends. Nick and I know that we are very blessed to live here and we have been having so much fun with all our new friends. Hopefully, we will have many more breakfasts' together :)

Mmmm....Chinese

What could be better than having lunch with your family at your favorite Chinese restaurant? My family really loves China Star in Bountiful. I actually brings back memories because when Nick and I were dating, my family went to China Star and while we were eating lunch, I saw Nick's room-mate Kurt around the corner. I waved at him and wondered if he was with Nick...he was! They had just been at the Bountiful Temple and stopped there for lunch with Brandon. That was the first time that Nick met my family.

A Place to Sit!

Last Saturday, Nick and I bought a new kitchen table! It has been so nice to have a place for everyone to sit for a meal. Last night, I made dinner (yes...me) for the missionaries and for our friends, Jessica and Jordan Hendrickson. We had a great time around the new table for dinner! If anyone would like to come over for dinner sometime...you are invited! :)

My cute cousins...

I always love going to my Aunt Jen and Uncle Kyle's house because I adore their kids. They are so cute and Kameron says the funniest and sweetest things. Kameron asked me yesterday:
"Um, how are you feeling Alli about your baby?" and I said, "I'm doing ok". Then he said, "Alli, we prayed for your baby every day and that you wouldn't be sad anymore". I told him that his prayers made me feel better and he looked at me with a look of shock and a smile and said "They did?" I said, "yep!". Kameron is so thoughful and sweet.

Jaydee wanted to "play princesses", so we went down to her dress-ups and I found a skirt with an elastic band and somehow managed to fit it over my hips, and then Jaydee put on her princess dress. Then Kameron had to dress up in his "Rock Man" outfit. I had a fun couple hours playing with them and having lunch with the family.

Lunch with my friend Whitney!

Last Friday, I got to go to luch with my friend Whitney and her cute baby Oakleigh. I should have taken a picture with Whitney, but here is a picture of me and Oakleigh. We went to Zupa's in Layton and had such a fun time talking and catching up. I love my friend Whitney..she has a special place in my heart. She'll always be one of my best friends. Now, I just have to have a kid for her little girl to play with one day :)
