Citizen Cope

Back at the end of September, Stuart and I went down to LA to see Citizen Cope play at the Wiltern. This was one of the dates that I had planned from Stuart's anniversary gift so needless to say he was pretty excited about the month of Septembers date! Stuart loves Citizen Cope and had never seen them in concert.  We were a little nervous about the type of crowd that would be there and if we would be able to blend. Stuart told me beforehand that I should probably stray from wearing ruffles and bows in my hair for this occasion. We hit up IN-N-OUT before to make sure that Stuarts stomach was happy and then headed into the concert.  We blended okay but there were a few too many pot smokers in the room for my liking. Nast. Other than that, we had a great time and Stuart was a happy boy :) mission accomplished!
 
 
 
 

That night we stayed with our friends Daron and Allison who are living in LA right now.  We went to lunch and hung around at Venice beach the next afternoon.  The canals were really cool and somehow Daron and I got roped into being a part of the glass man stunt! Out of  a zillion people, he asked me to be his helper.  Stuart says it is because I was the only one with a skirt to my knees and a bow in my hair, guess i stuck out.  Basically this man jumps from a high chair onto a bunch of broken bottles. Crazy. They were also filming a Chris Paul commercial so we may or may not be in that as well.  That night we then went to UCLA campus and walked around. That campus is a beauty!

Wonderful World of Color

"A Wonderful World of Color, a Wonderful World to See!"
That phrase will be stuck in your head after you see this show.
Anyone who knows Disney can not deny that they go out of their way to do incredible things! The world of Color water show is one of those. It is a water/light show. It is the Bellagio fountains times a million. So cool. We went for my brother in law Drew's birthday and had a great time. We also saw Cars Land for the first time that night and I think its pretty awesome.
Love everything that Disney has to offer. Stuart truly loves it now. We love having our annual passes!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Summer Highlights

We had  a wonderful summer here in California. We were able to have alot of family, food, and sun. It was a HOT summer. And the heat is lingering a little too long for our liking.

 Learning the "wobble". Youtube it and Learn it.

Stuart braided my hair. Way better than me!

Made homemade snickerdoodle ice cream

Stuart went to a USC game with his friend Tyler who just started Dental School there this Fall.

We had a groupon for a Tempanyaki place. It was Delish!

Stuart started shaving with a shaving cream and razor for this first time. His electric razor went out. He is still deciding if he likes this way.

My Best Friend Allie's baby shower. She now has given birth to little Emma and she is adorable! I like to think she is partly named after me.

Tyler and Audra invited us down to their family's beach house on Beach Rd in San Juan Capistrano for a weekend. HEAVEN. So glad to have our friends close again!
 

These are my dear friends. Left Track Coach Britt, his wife Jan, Lauren who ran with me in high school, me, Stuart, and Lauren's boyfriend Lee. LOVE these people. My life would not be the same without them. 

Roasting smore's on our stove. Probably unsafe

Surfing for Stuart at Doheny. There is proof I got out once this Summer

Chipotle Picnic

Time spent with our cute nieces at the Spectrum, Angel Games, and my parents

Abby and Lydia's "Under the Sea" Birthday Party

My brother made this cake freehand. So good right?!

Stuart made me this headboard. I am so in love with it. Love being married to a handy man!
 

Laying out by the pool.

Summer 2012 was awesome. Looking forward now to the Holidays!

Missing Provo

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


To say I have missed BYU and the Fall in Utah would be an understatement. I was seriously sad to not be in school this Fall. I miss it so much sometimes.  For those who know how I felt about Utah and BYU sometimes, this may come as a surprise. I felt like I had such a purpose and direction while I was there. Sometimes I feel lost in my new post college adult world. I had my highest and lowest moments at BYU and I grew from every experience I had there. I made the BEST friends. I feel so lucky to have found the people I did there. Met my husband, the greatest success of my BYU experience. And received my college degree. I am trying to appreciate my degree more as I usually do not see it as a huge accomplishment. I more see it as something that I obviously needed to do. However it is an accomplishment that I need to feel proud of. So I miss you alot this Fal BYU. I want to go to intramural games, drink hot chocolate at Seven-Eleven, drive up the canyon, snuggle in our attic/or basement apartment, go to a football game, walk to class, take a moonlight chairlift ride in Sundance, eat at our favorite spots, and enjoy the simplicity of my life back then. I loved being a newlywed in a college town where everyone was poor and we did simple things to make us happy. Oh the simple college life.
Thanks BYU for the wonderful memories. We miss you this Fall Season!
