the jazz had no jazz.

Our first Jazz game of the season. Huge matchup. Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks. Our excitement was short lived. It was perhaps the worst the team has played this season. So instead of pictures of my boy Millsap and Scott's boy Williams. You get a glorious picture of us and the Jazz bear. Pick it up Jazz. Please.

thanksgiving 10.

For Thanksgiving we went up to Scott's grandparent's in Shelley, Idaho. His dad rode up with us and we stayed a couple days at his grandparent's house. Here is what we did.

We went 'Black Friday' shopping. Well kinda. We started waiting in line at Sport's Authority at 3:00 a.m. The first 80 people got gift cards. Combined we got $55.00. Nice! While we spent all our time at one store, Debby and Shelley made it to like 5 billion, they are pros. Next time we will have to just follow them around. My friend Courtney from college was in Idaho Falls visiting her family, so she met up with us and waited in line at Sport's Authority, too.

Court & I.

Us who braved the crazy morning.

Scott & Grandad

Debby. Nana. & I

Debby made a wonderful dinner with all the trimmings. Grandad also took us to Fort Hall. His favorite local casino. None of us had much luck, but it was fun to spend time with them! When we got back to SLC we had Thanksgiving the following night at my mom's. Two Thanksgivings. Boy are we lucky. So thankful for great family!

DYG ice skating.

We are leaders in our church's youth group. DYG. Daybreak Youth Group. So for a fun activity, we went ice skating this week at the Utah Olympic Oval. I'm over the middle school girls and Scott is over the high school boys. I'm not a great skater. Scott's pretty good. I managed to get a picture with a couple of the girls in my group. And I got one of half of the entire group. Watching over 30 kids can get crazy! But so much fun!

some of the group.

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.
