lately....

lately i haven't had time to update my blog because every time i got on the computer i was working on putting together a slideshow for for family for christmas. we have a whole bunch of loose pictures at my house of our childhood so it took me forever to scan all of them in, but it was worth it. i'm glad i have some of these pictures now saved to my computer. i did the slideshow chronologically. i started it with my parents engagement then to cass and so forth. anyway, i showed it to my family last night and it was a lot of fun! these are just a few of my favorites....Merry Christmas!!!

All because two people fell in love.....

i love edward cullen

so twilight was SO good! if you've read the books, you'll love the movie. i was obsessed with the cullens. i just wanted to keep watching them the whole time. ya, i'll admit it's chessy, but i love it! Right before i went to the movie my work took us all and our spouses the the olive garden, but i had to leave early for the movie. on my way out to waitor made fun of me for going to the midnight showing. he said " Why are so many women obsessed when it's for fourteen year olds!"

don't we look like sexy vampires!

thanks for the fun night out girls! i can't wait to see it again!

happy birthday sweetie!

Caden's birthday was on Nov. 12th. He is now officially 24! we decided to take a full week off of work and school. it was very well needed. On his birthday i woke him up with breakfast in bed and then we were off to visit his dad in Salina. We went out to dinner, watched a movie and had cheesecake. Then on Thursday we drove to Las Vegas! Caden went on priceline and got us this AWESOME deal on a hotel right on the strip. We stayed at the planet hollywood hotel for only 50 bucks! the room was so cool and we had a view of the bellagio show right out side our room!
The M&M factory and coke factory are my favorite on the strip. At the coke factory we tried coke from 16 different countries. It was alot of fun! the clear one.....tastes like hairspray. We then spent the rest of the week in St. George at my grandparents trailor enjoying shopping, eating out and sleeping! Happy Birthday Sweetie!

.i love my husband.

 Caden was so sweet when we were dating. Because he lived in the apartment right up stairs from me (not to mention the room right up above mine and his bed was directly above mine!) we spent alot of time together. Some mornings before he went to class, he would run downstairs walk in our apt and come to my room and wake me up with a "good morning beautiful". when i would go to orchestra in my locker would always be a cute note that would make me smile and he always said he would take specific routes from class to class just to see me because he knew i would be walking down certain streets. i'm a lucky girl because those things continue to happen. In the mornings before i go to work he'll wake up, see me and the first thing he says is, " you look nice!" every morning!! 

In the middle of the day he will send me a text that tells me how much he loves me, can't live without me, and to especially be safe. he always does the dishes, willingly passes out flyers for relief society or fills in in the nursery. he lets me share his drink (even though i know he wished i wouldn't) and lets me put my freezing feet on his stomach to warm them up. he is the greatest thing in my life. i love you sweetie!

excited about it! we went to a fun party halloween night were we ate donuts on a string, made carmel apples, played mafia and watched scary movies.

 thanks mike and melissa! it was fun!

our trip to new jersey...

we recently went back to cadens mission in new jersey. we ate some seriously good pizza, saw an awesome lighthouse, met up with some old friends, went to the shore (not the beach...the shore) and had a good time. we first thought the trip was going to be awful because my suitcase got lost on the flight, yes mine, and then the hotel didn't know we were coming, not to mention is was clear out in the middle of no where, and then after an hour of us sitting in the lobby waiting for a room, we settle in and our toilet is broken. but all in all the trip was worth it. i got to her mission stories, went the mission home and saw EVERY apartment caden ever lived in those two years. it was great!

The Shore!

this was the first street caden tracted on

he talked about this pizza for weeks before prepping me for it.

it's a little place called Toscanas in Audubon, New Jersey. there were these italian people there who still owned it and caden recognized them right when we walked in. " Hey, it's Sunny and Stella right?" They kind of gave him a weird look and pretended to know this sweet missionary from so long ago. Hey we won't complain. we got some free garlic knots out of it

while we were there..NEW YORK!

while we were visiting new jersey,  good friend's of caden's, bob & kathy , took us around new york city. he was hurrying so fast around the city, but he made sure we saw all the good stuff. he took us to ground zero, to china town, time square, central park, and even up to a skyscraper called top of the rock so we could see the whole city. i love new york!

                           there was a bride taking pics. we had to outdo her

                                          looking good up there                                      time square is crazy! love it!

-wedding pictures-

This is us..

Our story begins like this...we met at Snow College where we were both music majors, me the orchestra nerd and him the band geek :) I needed some help with my music theory homework and the rest is history. We were married on July 7, 07 and are now living on campus at the University of Utah in Salt Lake. Caden is studying interpersonal communication as it relates to conflict management and also started pre-service classes this fall (for seminary teaching.) Right now i am working full time at Wells Fargo, staying busy in the ward, trying to keep my house clean and think of good meals.. ...(that's a full time job too.)

a part of the blogging world....
