Our ONE year Anniversary

Our anniversary was on June 27. I can't believe we've been married a year already. It seems like it's gone by so fast. Yet we both decided we have learned A LOT since we were first married. It's been a great year and we are excited for all the years to come. I love you Sterling!

We celebrated by going down to St George for the weekend. We had a lot of fun just relaxing. We also went and visited the St george temple. The visitors center had this really cool bronze statue exhibit. They were really cool. http://www.sgvisitorcenter.com/

We also met up with some people from Sterlings mission. We went to lunch with Earl and Louise Thomas (aka grandpa and grandpa Thomas) a senior couple from the mission. The next day we went to breakfast with Sterling's old mission companion. Cody King.

The new King babyOn Saturday night we went to Le miserable at the Tuacahn outdoor ampitheater. It was really good. Thanks Hub

On sunday we were invited over for dinner at the Southwick home. This family is so awesome! We felt like family the minute we walked through the door. This family lived in Detroit when Sterling served there. It was nice to meet some of the people he had been talking about. What a cute family. Thanks Southwhick family it was fun and dinner was yum!

That's our trip!

Too much fun for one day

We had a lot going on today. I woke up this morning and started my first cake made with fondant. My friend I grew up with was having a birthday party, so I decided to make her a cake. I think it turned out pretty well for my first time. I just found a recipe off line and did it.

It was a little bit bumpy in some areas, but I'm learningWe also have my brother's dogs over for the weekend. They are so cute!I call this one my little ewok.

Also a girl I grew up with got married. 6/7/08. Cool day to get married. Her reception was at this house. Amazing!Look at the waterfall. It was so beautiful

The day was crazy. We also went vacuum shopping and our next door neighbor got baptized.

ha happy b day

Sterling is 23 now! The morning of his birthday I gave him his "man basket" probably because i was excited to give it to him. Inside was a new beard trimmer (which he desperately needed), some axe shower gel, shower puff, some new church socks (he needed those too), a big bag of peanut butter m&ms, and some apple beer. Then later we made Indian food for dinner. I got the recipe off the internet and it was decent. The day after, Sterling got a cookbook of all kinds of oriental food. They look sooooo good. We love different food. We are excited to try it. We had Cheesecake for dessert on sunday. Happy Birthday!!

23!

Happy Birthday Sterling! You're 23!

(I'll let you all know how the day goes)

Zoooo!

We stopped at sterling's work today and realized that we were close to the zoo. So we went! It was so much fun. We both hadn't been there since we were really little. I told sterling that my mouth hurt from smiling all day. Yes, that is how much I enjoyed it. I loved the monkeys. There was this one that I couldn't stop watching, because it was funny. It looked really old and ugly and it was just walking around slowly picking up all the stuff on the ground and eating it. It kinda was acting senial compared to all the other hyper monkeys. I guess ya had to be there because that doesn't sound funny at all. It just was though.
