Today I sat down and read a bunch of huge, 2-inch thick bridal magazines. All of which were great entertainment, but they also reminded me of all the things that I haven't done right/haven't done at all/should be doing but am not. I am also reminded that I am a 19 year old/lds/college-student type bride, not a 30-year-old successful business woman, so I...

A few weeks ago we got some engagement pictures done by the lovely Samantha Rizzo. We drove up the beautiful Alpine Loop at just the right time when the leaves were all changing colors and were beginning to fall. It was super duper cold, and it was literally impossible to get us to make any serious faces whatsoever. We were laughing the entire...

When it gets cold outside, the leaves are falling, and Thanksgiving plans are beginning to be made, there are two things I want to do. 1. Snuggle up on the couch and watch Elf (even though its not Christmas time yet, I know, don't hate me) and 2. BAKE! One of my all time favorite desserts is pie, especially apple pie. After trying...

Right now there is a little voice in the back of my head, softly screaming, telling me how dumb I am for not writing my 6-page essay that's due tomorrow. But I will just ignore it for a few more minutes while I catch up on life. You guys, life is crazy lately. I never knew how many different things go into planning...

I know, I know. I am still in shock too.  After dating for a good 9ish months, Kody asked me to marry him! Woohoo! ---- I am way way excited for everything, but everyone keeps asking me all about him. So here we go.
