Anniversary

My beautiful flowers


Oakland Temple, It's such a pretty place!

McCovey Cove

San Francisco from Alcatraz

I cant believe it's been a whole year! What an amazing year, i couldn't have asked for a better man to spend eternity with! He makes me so happy! We went to San Francisco and spend 2 days there. We went to Alcatraz, it was so interesting. I went when I was little and i didn't really remember much so it was cool to be able to go back. After that we went to the Hotel and got dresses for dinner and the play. We went to this amazing restaurant called First Crush! I got the rib eye and Jake got the Lamb, it was honestly the best food we have had at a restaurant in a LONG time! If your ever there we definitely recommend it! After dinner we headed over to the Orpheum Theatre and went to see Wicked!!! I was amazing!!!:) The next day we went to the Giants game! It was such a great game! The Giants were behind the whole game then in the 6th inning they hit a Grand Slam!! After that the Rockies couldn't come back and The Giants won 9-5. It was such a cool stadium right on McCovey Cove, I'm so glad i can check that one off my list :) It was such a great weekend and I'm so glad i got to spend it with Jake! I love you!

Birthday in San Fran

I had such an amazing birthday, I woke up that morning to some yummy blueberry pancakes! I think the first time I have ever had breakfast in bed. Jake also gave me a new camera, I was so excited because now i don't have to rely on the other wives to take pictures :) We then decided to go to San Francisco for my birthday and just walk around to see some sights (were going this next weekend again for our anniversary). It was really fun, we were able to go see Pier 39 and Fisher Man's wharf, The Golden Gate Bridge, and Lombard Street! At the end of the day Jake surprised me with a yummy cake. It was sooo good, It had strawberry filling and Bavarian cream in the middle! I honestly couldn't of asked for a more perfect birthday! Thanks everyone for my birthday wishes:) Love ya'll!

Wish They All Could Be California Girls!

Yep believe it or not were moving! And as you can see from the picture its near San Francisco. We will be living in a little city about 45 min outside called Walnut Creek! Its very close to where my bother-in-law grew up and where my sister lived for her first year of marriage! I was able to chat with her and find out some fun things to do out there. Like i said its only 45 min from San Francisco so I'm excited to go there with Jake. He has never been and I went out there when my sister got married so it will be fun to go back. Im so excited to see Alcatraz, Lombard street, Ghirardelli Square, take a trolley ride, and of course a new baseball stadium to visit!

We ship out our car Saturday, then fly out to the sunny state that same day! Just like Ohio it will be an adventure! We will most likely be there till mid September, then its back to Salt Lake :) But as for California, here we come!

Our day in Cleavland

We had such a fun time in Cleavland this past Sunday! We will most likely be leaving Ohio and moving to either California or Kentucky, so we decided to FINALLY go to a ball game in Cleavland! The Indians played the Mariners, it was sooo nice to be at the ball park and get a hot dog! There is nothing like going to baseball game :) We also had to opportunity to go to Kirkland and see the Temple and visit the church sites there. After that we headed back to Cleavland and had pizza on the lake! It was so much fun :) I'm really gonna miss Ohio!

July 4th in Columbus

Dublin City fireworks

Sitting in the back seat waiting for the fireworks

We went over to the office on Saturday morning to have some breakfast ;)

We had a great time in Columbus on the 4th of July! The boys were suppose to work, but instead they decided to take the day off for one of my favorite holidays( except when the sun goes down...fireworks ) The day was pretty overcast and rainy, but we still made the best of it! We started off the morning with an office breakfast. We had french toast with strawberries and blueberries ( very patriotic). then we just hung out at the pool, had some BBQ and watched the fireworks! It was fun to be able to spend the day with friends and celebrate our independence!

Cavs Game!!

Jake and I after the game!

:)


Part of the group!

We were so lucky to be able to "Witness" the Cavs play in Cleveland! The boys worked till about 5 that day and we all headed up to Cleveland! As you pulled up next to the stadium there is a picture on the side of the building saying, " We are all Witnesses" with LaBron trowing chalk in the air! Thats what he dose at the beginning of every game! It was a pretty intense game, from start to finish! They were ahead by 20 in the first half, then the magic came back, but the cavs pulled threw in the end! Even though we had a blast, it made me love cheering for the Rockets or the Astros even more, I will always be a fan :)!

OH...IO

At Dave and Busters racing cars!

Taking a walk!

Whooping Jake in basketball!

Girls at the Dublin parade!

Well we have been here in Ohio for over a month now and I still haven't blogged. After the FULL 2 day drive we arrived and were very excited to explore what we would be calling home for the next couple of months! We live in Dublin, it's an outskirt of Columbus, The area is very green and has so many walking trails (reminds me very much of Sugar Land). The weather has been kinda crazy since we've been here and hasn't stayed at all consistent... One day its rainy, the next day its sunny, then cold, then burning hot... I just cant keep up. Another thing that reminds me of home is the humidity!! Its not as bad as Houston, but we do miss those dry, perfect summer nights in Utah!

Jake's schedule out here is so crazy. He typically has his meetings around 11:30-12:00 then goes out and start knocking and doesn't get home until 930 or 10!! Its a weird schedule, but its something we've just had to adapt to!

NOW I know where Josh gets his Ohio State pride! Everyone out here is crazy for that team! one of these weekends we plan on walking around Ohio State campus to go see the famous Horseshoe!

All in all we are having a blast out here! Meeting new people and going to to new places! The best part about it is we get to do it together :)
