Our First Anniversary!

This post is way late, but our anniversary totally needed to be blogged about.
I can't believe it's been a year! I think we have definitely proven that the first year is not something to be feared! The transition from being best friends to married best friends couldn't have been smoother. We are still madly in love and happier than ever :).
What an awesome day! We slept in and made crepes for breakfast, and then went to the temple to do sealings. We decided to go all out for the big day and went to dinner at the Roof Restaurant in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The best part was definitely dessert! They had the most amazing dessert buffet I have ever seen. It was seriously a thing of beauty. Joel was smart and ate mostly dinner food, as for me? ......White chocolate cheesecake with fresh berries...lemon tarts....creme brule...carrot cake.....ohhh baby!!!!
Being with my honey, eating dessert and gazing at the temple....sigh...I was in heaven!!! It was so much fun hanging out together and reminiscing about our wedding day. This has been the best year of my life and I'm so excited for countless more to come. I love you Joel!

Happy Halloween!!

Well Halloween has come upon us once again and once again I have unsuccessfully come up with a creative costume to wear, and have made no plans for this holiday. Well as long as we have pumpkins to display on our porch. We had our friends, Katie and Eric come over and carve pumpkins with us Tuesday night. We didn't get many pictures, but we did make some pretty sweet jack-o-lanterns. Mmm...SkullCandy


Kalli went with a little happier display

We went up little cottonwood canyon Friday to check out the fall leaves and take a few pics. We had to hike down some rocky terrain to get to these sweet spots, but it was worth it!
We had to use the timer on my camera which turned out to be quite a challenge with all the boulders in between us and the camera(for me at least!). Because of this, we discovered Joel's mountain-goat-like capabilities which I am very greatful for.

What can we say? The beauty of nature makes us jump for joy :)
