Sometimes, the simpliest text message can brighten your entire day.



mr. and mrs. harris

Well, our little Titch-Bit is married.

The husband and I got to be a part of the entire day, starting with the temple. 

As many of you may know, the SL temple is currently closed for construction, so off to Bountiful we went!

I love the Bountiful temple, except for the fact that the bride and groom come out the regular old doors, and people always get in the way. But, that's how it works, so that's just going to be how it is!

A decent photo of us! Where John's eyes aren't giant, or his smile is not completely cheesy! 

It's rare.

"We did it!"  

The girls again. It was hot as hades outside. No joke, I had sweat beads rolling down my face.

Nasty. 

Did you know the three of us have been together since pre-school.

Beside my two years spent thinking I was too cool for the world.

That's 17 years. Woah.

I love these two so much, and I love to see both of them so happy with who they have chosen for their ECs.

(I love you too, Mel. Do not fear.)

around the world

The Hawker's officially throw the greatest parties ever.

I was sad to miss out on the Murder Mystery, but I'm so glad I wasn't sick for this one!

We had an Around the World party, where each couple was given a different country to dress up as, and we then played Minute to Win It games, which France ended up winning. Probably the first and last time France will win anything. 

The whole group. We had people representing Germany, Russia, Poland, Mexico, Cape Verde, India, France, China, and Iran. 

John and I were given China. We took the humorous side of the costume and decided to dress up as tourists.

It was so fun. Thanks Hawker's for putting on such a fun event!

easy bake oven

While my sister and her family were in town, the girls and I made red velvet cupcakes in the easy bake oven!

Noelle wanted an easy bake for Christmas, but she can't have one until she's eight. :)

 Noelle is quite the little baker. She was pro.

 

Sis was a great little froster, except she wanted to just eat the frosting instead of putting it on the cupcakes.

I wanted a picture to show that we matched, but Sis was not having it.

Two weeks ago

has it really been two weeks already?

We went to Newport Beach with the Sorensen's.

A trip we planned the first week of October.

We were so ready, and it was well worth the wait.

We drove, which, I wasn't ready for, but it turned out not being bad!

We drove to Vegas and stayed overnight, then went into Caesar's for a little shopping before we hit the road again.

Where I got my first little blue box ever, and in was a super cute sterling silver ring!

I have the best hubby ever.

After leaving Vegas, we stopped in Barstow. 

Except we stopped in the ghetto part of Barstow.

I wish we had gotten pictures because I seriously feared for my life.

It felt like NY, in a subway station. A subway station in a part of town you don't want to be.

Once we reached Newport we spent a lot of time at the beach.

I would never turn down a life where I got to spend my days at the beach.

We also went to the happiest place on Earth!

Where we got the BEST caricature drawn of us, ever.

And got soaked on Splash Mountain.

And where Daniel and I rode the Screamin' California without our spouses because they don't like coasters. 

Can you spot us?

The last night we were there, we decided to venture and get pictures of the sunset. 

Don't mind husband's scary eyes. 

Thank you Sorensen's for being my models.

We also went to Joe's Crab Shack for the first time!

Best crab I've ever had. 

Oh, and Mandy found sketchy shorts under their bed in the beach house.

Eek.

Such a great vacation.

So needed.

When can we go back?

broozer is home

Okay, he's been home for over a month.

I am a major slacker.

But we love having him back

Broozer returned from the Texas Houston East mission on April 11.

It felt like Christmas! 

We missed Rach and Ben! 

Welcome home baby brother!
