Update continued... May 2010-October 2010

Alrighty.... here we go on the VERY brief update of 2 years...

 We visited Boise for Kevin's nephew Jacob's baptism...

 Kevin's Dad, Mike, came into town from Germany for the event! :)

 After 1 month of looking... I got a job at the Olive Garden... which after 2 ish months I then left for Chick-fil-A.... sorry OG!

 We rode a scooter around for awhile... then it broke.

 My grandparents were nice enough to let us live in their house while they were on a mission in Houston, Texas!  It was SO wonderful to not have to worry about buying furniture or anything!  We will forever remember their kindness for that!

 We went on dates to Salt Lake City!  This was in the train station!

 This was at our favorite place, the red Iguana! Kevin has a creepy mustache... AND i'm pretty sure we went to see THE LION KING broadway show this same day! It was amazing!

 We bought a Cadillac!  We called her "Lemondrop" and she was an '87....

 My parents came into town to help us fix lemondrop...

 We went to a BYU football game with them while they were in town! and Amanda introduced her NEW boyfriend!! Jamie!!  They were "in like" at EFY many years ago, when she was 15 and he was 16... i think.

 The girls all attended Women's conference.... i think... again, this was 2 years ago.

 Kevin and Alex hung out :)

 and then.... WE MOVED!

More on the last two years... to come!!

HOLY 2 YEARS BATMAN!!!

Guess what??  I'm baaaaaaack!

If all you knew about me was that I was about to get married, then what a sad state of affairs!  You might think I died or something!  Turns out, I GOT MARRIED! And we just had our 2nd anniversary!  Here are a few summary photo's of the May 2010....

 May 15th, 2012- We were married and sealed for time and all eternity....

 Me and my Grandpa and Grandma Dunning... we lost my beautiful grandmother to pancreatic cancer this last February, so this picture is especially near and dear to me.

 _______________________________________________________________________________

 We went on a cruise for our honeymoon.... which was the BEST decision we ever made....

 It stopped in Cozumel, where we saw beautiful pyramids.

AND Grand Cayman Island... that coconut was gross by the way...

After our cruise we drove from Houston back to Utah... we stopped at the Alamo...

Spent the night in Pheonix at my Aunt Tamsen's house.... Saw the grand canyon....

Stopped in Zion's national park for a bit...

And then we made it back!! This was my first baking endeavor as a wife :)  A pavlova, which is delicious!!





I think that is all I can muster updating for now... We will see what I can do next!
