Our 1st Anniversary

Trevor and I celebrated our first anniversary on Monday, September 15th. The night before, we went to my parents house to hang out and have dinner. We all had a piece of our wedding cake that night- it definitely tasted better a year ago! Both being full-time students, Trevor and I had to be creative with our special day since our bank account has become significantly smaller in the last few months! We decided to take Jersey to the park with us and then had a picnic lunch. We relaxed for a while before coming home and studying for a few hours (in separate rooms!). That night we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (mmm...) and then came home and watched our wedding video and exchanged cards and small gifts. It was a really great day!

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory...yummy!

Wedding Pics

I thought I would post some wedding pictures to reminisce about the past year. I have to say, we have had a really good first year of marriage. Both of our families came out to Utah for our wedding, and some stayed for a while after the wedding to visit. I took two weeks off from work which was wonderful. All of the planning and stress was worth it- our wedding day was perfect! It was great to be able to celebrate with family and friends. We took our honeymoon a few months later- we went on a Caribbean cruise and we had a blast. We loved it so much that I found the next cruise I wanted to go on within a few days of getting home. A week after we got home, we brought home our four-legged baby girl and then bought a townhouse in April. It's been such a good year. I love you, Trevor! Here's to many more good years!

Trouble with a capital "T"

This is our baby girl- yes, the one with her tongue sticking out. She was playing with her cousin Missy who is about ten times bigger than her.
This is Jersey and her best friend Gabbie. I love when the two of them get together because that means Jersey will be exhausted for the rest of the day!
What a daddy's girl! Jersey loves to cuddle!
Play time! As I am trying to post right now, Jersey keeps bringing me her toy to play. At almost a year old, she is still very energetic.

Guilford, Connecticut

We took a trip back east in August to visit some of my relatives, particularly my favorite Aunt Helen who was 93 years old. She passed away soon after we visited so this trip was really special to me. This was also the first time Trevor came back east with me which was really a big deal since we have only known each other for 8 years! We had a really great trip!

A Trip back east

It's always raining in Connecticut (well, not always). We were greeted by a huge storm when we arrived. I think it rained just about every day we were there, including a short downpour the day we went to NY.

Mmm...Dunkin' Donuts! This was breakfast one day (okay, more than one day) with my Grandpa and my parents.

Trevor, Eric, and I went to New York for a day and had a blast. We visited most of the tourist sites since it was Trevor's first time in New York. This was in front of the Empire State Building. We decided against going to the top since the wait was hours and hours. We also visited Battery Park, Times Square, and the Masonic Lodge.

As you can tell from the look on Trevor's face, New York City was somewhat of a culture shock! I took this picture a few minutes after we left Grand Central Station and headed out to the streets of Manhattan. Trevor had a good time, but likes small towns better than the big city. I think it was the trip on the subway that pushed him over the edge! We waited for the subway for about 30 minutes in extreme humidity (not to mention the wonderful smell of the subway station) while we were sandwiched in with hundreds of people. When the train finally arrived, Eric made it on and Trevor & I did not not because it was so crowded. We had to wait for two more trains before finally being able to get on and being packed in like sardines. And this whole experience was after we missed our stop on the previous train and ended up in Brooklyn! Just a typical day in the big city. Thanks for being such a good sport Trevor!


This is my first official post on our new blog. I guess I need to start taking my camera with me everywhere I go from now on! This picture of me and my hubby was taken at the shore in Guilford, Connecticut. I spent the first 13 years of my life in Connecticut before my family moved to Utah.
