Real Salt Lake.

Ok, so Real Salt Lake had their home playoff game here last Saturday night. It was crazy! The fans were totally into it. We had home field advantage. And Scott suprised me with a sweet Real jacket that I've wanted all season.

They lost. Such disappointment. No repeat champions this year. But my mom and I had such a great time! Of course we will be there next season cheering on our team!

Just Because.

So I came home from work today to these...

One is from Scott, one from Deuce, and one from Bella. So cute.

Totally made my day. Night. Week. Thanks babers!

our FIRST anniversary.

Gosh darn....my hubs is just the best. But really. Our first anniversary was the greatest. It's all that I could have asked for. I didn't know what he had planned so it was a suprise. And this is how it went......

We drove up to Snowbird. (First brownie point for Scott because that is where he proposed.) How cute! We took the tram up to the top of Snowbird. 11,000 feet high. Yikes.

Then, we hiked for awhile until we found a spot for a picnic. (Second brownie point since he had already packed the picnic and thought ahead. Even plastic wine glasses.) We had sandwiches and he brought sparkling wine so that I could pop off the cork. It's something that I haven't done but have always wanted to do. The funny thing, is that I got him a camelback hydration/backpack for his gift and it totally worked with his plans. We stayed hydrated on our hike and he was able to carry our picnic. I guess great minds think alike.

After the picnic we took the chair lift back down the mountain and headed home to change for Lion king on Broadway.

This play was awesome. I could go to a broadway play once a month. At least.

Yep. I'm a lucky girl. (Well. He's a super lucky guy too.) But it was great. To more great years....

party in portland

For Scott's cousin's renewal of vows, everyone went up to Portland. The occasion took place at McMinniman's, which is on the outskirts of Portland. It's an old mansion farm that has been turned into a hotel with beautiful grounds, restaurants, golf course, and pubs. Everything is old style, such as you share bathrooms with people on your floor....we were a little creeped out by the old furniture and weird paintings everywhere, but the fun took over and we had a great time!

No. We aren't this strange...you had to wear either a hat, wig, or boa to the ceremony.

Wide-eyed Nic and I at karaoke!

After the weekend, we stayed an extra night to spend time with Julie and Rian. I miss them dearly and am so thankful we were even able to spend one day with them!

Rian and Ju at the place they took us for dessert...it overlooked downtown Portland!

Scottie and I at the Oregon coast.

Some of my favorite memories from this trip:

-Scott and Brandon talking like Bob Marley for two days straight.

-Being able to hang out with Nic whenever I wanted.

-The soaking pool.

-Lynchburg lemonades.

-Creme brulee.

-Frisbee games at the coast, Ju and I won everytime. P.s.

my best friends wedding.

My dearest best friend Julie got married on Friday, July 23 2010 at the Youngberg Vineyard in McMinnville, Oregon. I love her husband, Rian, they are just the greatest. We flew in on Thursday morning and were able to stay until Sunday, it was so great for us to be there and for me to be her bridesmaid, I am so glad she found such a great guy!

Rehearsal dinner...

Pretty bride...

july 4th celebrations

On the 4th of July this year we headed over to our friend's Krystal and Dusty's. There we put on a little BBQ for a group of friends and Scott was the master of fireworks and put on our lame but cool enough fireworks show!....

Omaha is for lovers.

We were able to head out to Omaha, Nebraska to visit my family and go to the College World Series. We were there from June 19-23 and were lucky that my dad got us good seats to the CWS, as it was the last year it was held at the famous Rosenblatt Stadium...
