We hosted a BBQ on Sunday...
Scott manned the grill...
and even though I don't have pictures to show for it, there were people there. The two pictures I have were taken by my talented friend Peyton who is pretty savvy with her camera.

Our Mexican Adventure
We got to spend seven days in the beautiful city of Puerta Vallarta with our awesome travel buddies, Jason and Lauren Varley! The city had so much character, friendly people, and a spectacular view.
We walked up the pebble streets of the city and admired the view and all the beautiful homes.
We walked down the boardwalk almost every night and enjoyed the sunset and all the people.
We took the bus into town each day and walked around the city, all the streets had fun shops and all the people were so friendly.
Scott and Jason doing the cousin thing, "dancing in the streets".
We kept hearing about this restaurant in town called Pipi's and decided to try it, we couldn't get enough and had to go back for our last dinner too. The service was perfect, the atmosphere was wonderful and the food was to die for!
We relaxed and played by the pool every day which had an infinity edge to the ocean, it was perfect!
Our big adventure began with a rafting trip across the bay to a beautiful little cove.
Then we took big army trucks up the mountain to the middle of the jungle.
We geared up at camp and got on mules (not pictured) and road to the very top of the jungle.
Then we zip lined through the most beautiful, perfectly green jungle, repelled down waterfalls, walked through rivers, balanced across bridges and made it all the way back to the bottom of the jungle where we hiked back to camp. We couldn't have asked for a better jungle adventure.
All in all our trip was an absolute success!

Time Flies When You Are In LOVE
I don't know any other year time frame in my life that has gone by as fast as this last year. It's crazy how fast time goes by when you are so incredibly happy and let me tell you this last year has been the happiest year of my life. Why you might ask... well it's because I have been married to the most amazing man for this last year and for many more to come, well all the years to come... forever actually.
So here's to being in LOVE!
Happy One Year Anniversary... I LOVE YOU!

Never Too Late To Celebrate
Scott's first birthday as a married man was a success! He woke up to a few gifts from me and a homemade banner I made with the help of my sweet friend Beth then we both went to work for the day but I was able to get off early so we drove up to Red Iguana for dinner and were delighted to spend the evening with our dear friends the Bartons. Scott's parents were so sweet to order a delicious cake that we enjoyed with the Gourdins and Bartons and then ended the night going to see the movie Knight and Day.
Happy 23rd Birthday to the Love of my Life!

HELP save the world
this post is SERIOUS business. for real. please read it and please help eco scraps!
eco scraps is a provo company that has been around for less than a year. it was started by byu's own daniel blake. watch this video for a little more info:
long story short: eco scraps takes food waste, namely produce and coffee grounds from local stores and coffee shops and turns it into a 100% organic compost or soil amendment (dirt).
the awesome thing about it is what it does for the environment - over 20% of landfills is made up by food waste. . .the goal is to reduce the world carbon footprint!
1 bag of eco scraps dirt is the equivalent of taking 1 car off the road for one month in green house gas reduction! our cars are not near the problem that throwing out our food is!
i made that short story long again, to the point. . .this is where we need you! click this link to vote for eco scraps in a business competition so the business can win $25,000. this will help the company grow and CHANGE THE WORLD! this can happen but only if we get your vote. we NEED every vote, this is very doable, the leader has about 350 votes, we have 13. . .but there are only 2 days to vote. please please help us win!
we really appreciate you voting, i know most people just read blogs and never comment or do anything, but this would mean a ton to some byu students trying to get this thing off the ground.
IF YOU VOTE PLEASE WRITE IT IN AS A COMMENT SO EVERYONE CAN SEE OTHERS ARE VOTING! REWARDS COULD COME TO THOSE WHO VOTE (if we win...;)
go to our twitter to see the dozens and dozens of articles published in print and on the web about eco scraps. it has been featured on the front page of the paper and even in 'green' blogs as far off as ITALY and the UK!
