This week...

Well this week has been pretty cool I guess! 

 David has been teaching me how to play the guitar, and I can play twinkle twinkle little star - it is still not perfect, but that's because I don't really practice...whoops. But seriously, it hurts your fingers!


My hubby is the bomb.  

He hung up all this stuff at like midnight. 

Just to make me happy, even when he was super tired :)

I am pretty sure I want a red rug now, but not 100%. 

I am just experimenting I guess, suggestions?

On Saturday David's work was throwing a lunch party thing. It was pretty cool, we got a free meal and a camping chair. There was a lot going on, a rock climbing wall, jumpy house, mechanical bull, a raffle drawing with prizes. We didn't win this time, but that's alright. We got our chair and food! 

Grandma and Grandpa Adam came to town! 

It was so good to see them again, feels like its been a while! I guess that's what  happens when you grow up with them your whole life and don't see them for a little while! We had them over and had Tacos for lunch, and then they took me out to dinner at the Beehive Grill. (poor David had to work) It was nice to be able to show them our area and catch up. They have also been on an awesome road trip for 16 days and showed us some beautiful pictures! Now it's everyone else's turn to visit. :)

We should be getting our wedding photos this next week! YAY!
Oh. And I made this delicious soup.
----------Try it!----------
That's about it for right now! :) - D & B 

Labor Day Weekend

We have a new cousin! Payton Layne Baker. She is adorable! Congrats to Matt & Sam :) We are all so happy. She is so stinkin' cute! We love her and are so glad she is here and healthy.  

 Don't we just look so natural...hahaha I love her! So cute.

Here is David setting up our TV stand, lotssss of pieces. All over the place. He's such a man...using our pink tool set ;) I love that toolset; we got it as a gift from the Humbert's for our wedding! It has been so handy so far, like wow. Plus, its cute.

It looks so good! I love that stand. 

And much thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Baker! 

They are letting us borrow their TV :) 

They are so kind. Eventually we will get our own. Maybe black friday?...hm.

There are our barstools that we got a few weeks ago, and now we finally have our couch! 

I am sooo happy! YAY! Now we don't have to hang out upstairs 24/7.

It's funny how much you take things for granted until you have to buy them...

By The Way. Couch = Amazing. <3

Andddd, here's silly David being a goob. He's so cute. :)

That's about it. Til next time. <3 D & B

married life

WEDDING! <3

Well...we are married now! Finally! :) It is the best thing ever. I love being with my husband in our own place and space. And really its kinda weird that we have our own place. I still don't know if it has totally hit me yet, maybe because we haven't gotten all of our bills...hahaha but that's right around the corner. Yay for adulthood...ha well anyways. Here's some pictures from the wedding day! JULY 30th 2011 in the Sacramento Temple.

HUSBAND AND WIFE -- OH SO HAPPY :D 

                   OUR AMAZING FAMILIES.

They did so much to make our wedding day perfect. There really are no words to describe how thankful I am to both sets of my parents. They did so much for us, everything was perfect, and I don't even know how I will ever get across to them how much it means and how much I love them. They are the best <3 Not only did our parents help, but our siblings and aunts and friends as well and I am so thankful. We had a reception in california the night of the wedding and the following saturday we had an open house in iowa. I was shocked by how many people came to see us and support us and congratulate us, I feel so blessed. And it was so cool to go out to iowa and see the corn and lightning bugs and lightning storms and to see the area where my second family lives. Its pretty nice! Kinda humid though...ew. ;) And my brother Austin slept through the  whole open house on the couch in the living room in his suit...ahhh I don't think anyone will ever forget that one! So funny! 

HONEYMOON!!

So we went on our honeymoon in between the california reception and the iowa reception. 

We decided to head down to Santa Cruz! It was a blast! We went to the Mystery Spot, The Beach Boardwalk, Pebble Beach, Monterey, and we went Skydiving!

                          

Loved the beach! It was so nice. I wrote my new name in the sand. :)

It was nice and breezy that day too as you can see from my hair flying all over the place!

So there's a few pictures from the honeymoon, we loved it and it went by way too fast! But we say we are always on our honeymoon :) Just always happy and having fun!

HOME. 


Well, after all of that adventure we are finally home and getting back into the swing of things. It took us a while to get all of our stuff put away and organized and both of us working full time on top of that. It has been really nice though! :) So far we still have a pretty empty place. We have our bed, which is super comfy! I never want to get out, and we also bought some barstools so now we have a place to sit downstairs! YAY!

So these spiders are the scariest things ever. I literally cry when I see them. I only kill them with David's shoes and I leave marks on the walls and David has to pick up the dead spiders when he comes home. EW :( I called him one night to see if he would be home soon and described the spider as being as big as africa. Literally these are the size of half dollars. I have never been so creeped out in my life. IDK if I can take it!! 

Well I think that's about it for now :) Hope you're all caught up on us. We are still waiting for our professional wedding photos, so I am way excited to see them! Well we love you all <3 B & D

TOWNHOME

So we got our townhome! We have the keys and everything, like super official. So that is the best news of this week--otherwise this past week kinda sucked...dealing with irritating people. Banking. Townhome stuff. Lost invitations. You know how life is sometimes, no big deal. We get over it :) So here are some pictures!!

Sierra Cove Townhomes

Here is a picture of our front door and our parking spots!! Yes, we have two. :) How nice.

Here I am sitting on our counter! Holy cow...we have our own counter haha but we have nothing to put in the house. We have a front room and our kitchen and dining/living area downstairs with a half bath and washer/dryer hook ups as well as some storage space. Upstairs we have two spacious (like huge) rooms with really good closet space and a full bath as well! We love it. So now we just need to pay off our bed and couches and then maybe it will start to look a little more "home-y"otherwise we pretty much only have clothes to move. At least it will be an easy move? You know...with our busy schedule and all.  

Well ANYWAYS...we are very excited to head out to California this Wednesday (no work for 2 weeks!) but holy cow...can't believe we are getting married on Saturday! We are so excited to see our friends and family in California and Iowa. <3 D & B

YIPEE!

Basically all that's going on is we officially got the town-home we wanted!! It is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath 2 story and on the end of the building, so only neighbors on one side of us! YAY! :) We are so excited! We move in next Monday! Also, we are buying my wedding band Thursday, it is beautiful, I love it. 

We are getting married in 2 weeks! STOKED!

I can't wait to be with my best friend forever <3

Lovin Life

I am late again with the post...whoops. Well this past week Dave and I went to lunch at Rio Cafe, it was delish. I had never been there before and it was so nice to see my honey on my lunch break at work. (He always brightens my day!) I am really enjoying my job at Morgan's. It is so nice to work with such great people. There is still lots to learn...but like last week, things are coming along. We are so incredibly happy that we get to stay in Logan. I love it here! The mountains are huge! Well I forgot to mention that last week we saw transformers 3 in theater. It was not the best. Another redbox movie for sure. Just a heads up for you all. :) So saturday was good, we both had it off and got to spend all day playing! We went to the Morgan's to say goodbye to the girl I'm replacing and to check out the two wedding bands we are looking at. Holy moly...talk about procrastination in getting a band...but it will be okay. We got this under control. After that we went to the mall and bought David some new shorts and shirts and some sandals. He's a happy boy. I found this wonderful cologne too...I think I am going to go get it for him one of these days. Mmmmm. We also bought some sunscreen because we went to the pool again! But this time we didn't need it...it started to thunder and lightning, it was pretty sweet. It turned into a huge storm and rained so hard! 

David put on the sunscreen while I put on the tanning lotion but neither were needed this time :p
(it was sunny when we got there!!)

After we went swimming we were planning on going to the demolition derby!!! How fun does that sound? Yah...like so much fun, but like I said, there was a huge rainstorm so we didn't go. It would have been way too soggy and wet to stand/sit there for a few hours. Yuck. So, instead, we decided to watch some movies and stay in the nice warm house. I also made some cornbread and chili stuff for dinner and it was way good. Yum yum yum! We also get to teach lessons the next two weeks at church for the primary kids. I'm scared...ahhh! That is all for now, until next time. <3 D & B

Happy Birthday America

Okay, so I know this post is a little late...but oh well. Better late than never. :) So this past week has been a good one! It was my first week at Morgan Jewelers and I love it. My co-workers are amazing, I am working full time, and it is close by. There is definitely a lotttttt of information I have to learn and know, but it comes with time....but I can already tell I have learned a lot and it will keep on coming. It is a bit frustrating not knowing everything and not being able to answer all of the questions that people have though...grr. I like to be a know-it-all! What have we been up to lately?? Well David is still working all the time too...4pm-12am. M-F. Rough, although he got to come home early on friday and didn't have to work on the 4th, so he had a nice long weekend! We went to a furniture store this week...and we put money down on some couches and a bed! YES! We are so excited. :) We should be hearing pretty soon about the townhome we want...fingers crossed on that one! 

Here is our beautiful couch! It also comes with a love seat! I am way too excited to buy pillows for them...and throw blankets because I am prettymuch always cold :) Winter here will be interesting.

What else....hmm. Well Friday night we hung out at Jenny & Kenny's with Matt & Sam and some friends as well. We ate pizza, hung out, and watched fireworks from the porch and it was a great time! Poor little Daisy (one of their doggies) was so scared of the fireworks! She was all shaky and had a wittle accident..whoops! Here's Riley and her cute little outfit. She didn't want to do her photoshoot. These are my favorite.

Here we are on the 4th of July! <3

We had a BBQ with Matt & Sam & Riley. We played croquet and it is actually hecka fun! I never would have thought. Poor Sam...always behind the bunch. We played two games, the first time Matt won, and the second time I won! It was so hot outside too, yuck! Then we lit off some old fireworks and sparklers, it was great. We had some groundflowers? I don't know what they are called! But the neighbor came and gave us some that blow up at the end, and they make me jump every single time! David makes fun of me! ha After that Dave and I went to the park and watched fireworks while we were on the swings. Aren't we just darling...haha Well, Thursday I am getting my dress altered, I am so excited! Not so excited about the drive there...2.5 hours. But I guess it has to be done! I think that's all, besides the fact that we love you all! <3 D & B
