D.C. in Pictures













A fun filled birthday weekend complete with some of my favorite people, mouth-watering food, a White House Garden Tour, a bit of history, a butterfly exhibit, shopping, fall photo shoot, and much much more.  All in all, it was amazing but the truth is I left my heart in Utah the whole time.
Thank you Scott for the perfect birthday surprise, I wish you could have enjoyed it all with me.
I LOVE YOU HUBBY! :)

What A Wonderful Surprise!

Scott's alarm went off at 3:15AM this morning and he insisted on giving me my birthday present.  I was half asleep and thought he was crazy, since my birthday isn't till Monday and it was the middle of the night.  He persisted so I slowly opened the card and I read the sweet words he wrote and was even more confused since there was a good amount of cash inside the card but nothing to explain.  I went on to open the present and there was a boarding pass inside, for a minute I just kept asking questions... where is this to, do I have work, what about you, does anyone know, where am I staying???  Scott just smiled and said you're going to DC and everything is worked out.  I was so excited but still really confused how he kept a secret for so long but thanks to so many wonderful people (Natalie, Brittany, Christine, Melissa), most importantly my husband I am leaving in a couple hours for Washington DC and everything is ready for me to a have perfect birthday weekend.  I just wish Scott could come but he is holding down the fort at home.  
What a wonderful husband! :)

A Couple Shots

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!
