Ok so it's been a while!

Lets see life has been crazy hectic but in a good way i guess. I made it through June and well a few things didn't go as planned but it was a good month none the less.
Well Taylor and Mitch got hitched! Their wedding was so perfect and fun. I loved the place that they had their reception at. The whole weekend was great, a ton of old friends were in town and we ended up going out Friday and Saturday. Other than a few um "hiccups" the weekend was great!
*This picture brings back nightmares of when I was a youth leader for my church in high school. Back in the day when my now boyfriend and all his guy friends would terrorize me. They are all great guys now and I adore them but once upon a time...oh man heathens!

*This picture makes me feel old cause i have known both the bride and groom since they were in the youth group. They are so perfect together and it makes me happy to see that they will be together forever!!


Well we did it! Jake and I made it through birthdays, holidays, and regular days! Our 1 year anniversary was on the 14th of June and it couldn't have been a better time. It started off rough...I had had an amazingly bad day at work which ended with me getting yelled at on the phone for 20 minutes by some rude pompas old man. I headed home to find a beautiful (and comfortable) dress laying out on the bed with a huge bouquet of gerbera daisies and stargazer lilies. Things would have been perfect there but there was more. ***let me preface this by saying we had agreed to not go all out and save our money for things to come later*** Next to the dress and the flowers was a gift certificate to a Restaurant the we had wanted to go to but decided that it was going to be way to expensive to even consider. So i got upset and started crying mainly out of guilt but none the less there were tears. Jake couldn't figure out why i was upset and I couldn't convey that i loved it i just felt like it was too much, didn't see why i deserved it and always have a hard time accepting nice things that I honestly don't think i deserve. I felt like I had made our anniversary out to be something that he had to go all out on and spent money that we didn't have on. Once he calmed me down he explained that his dad bought us our dinner as a present and that he had nothing to do with it. At this point i felt horrible for crying and getting frustrated (i'm a brat i know i know). Long story short i calmed down and had the best dinner ever. we went to Vin Bistro, had a 7 course chef's table dinner (the chef tailors the dinner specifically for you and pairs all of the courses with a wine.) So all in all our anniversary was perfect because it was us; him spoiling me, me not knowing how to accept it, and us ultimately having a great time!
*us with our Chef Chris, best dinner ever

*My beautiful flowers! they looked 10 times better in the arrangement he brought them home in!


One of my free weekends last month i decided to take a trip to Tucson to visit Catherine and it was so much fun! I miss Catherine tons but when I got to hang out with her for a couple of days and then had to leave i realized just how much i miss her and all of my girls. I got to hang out in Tucson for 2 days which was so fun! We went walking in this beautiful (albeit scorching park), drove up to Mt. Lemmon, and just hung out. On the third morning a group of 7 of us packed the cars and headed south to Rocky Point Mexico for a day and night of fun at the beach! It was great!! We played in the ocean and got some sun all day, then we went to this really great cantina that from the front looked shady but once your were inside it was great, cheap food and the best pina coloda i've ever had. The next day we got up, had breakfast and headed back. I had to hop on a flight for austin that night but the short trip was worth it.

So that is my summer so far.
