Fun Weekend!

This weekend, we did two fun things. First, I walked at DSC commencement for my BA in English. (Even though I officially graduated in December). And I went to Nichole Gardner's bridal shower. What a fun weekend! Here are some pics...

Everyone Loves David

Week after week I am continuously impressed with David Archuleta on American Idol. Not only is he cute as a button. He's totally humble... not to mention, an AMAZING performer. Yey for our little Utahn! I'm totally rooting for him to win the competition. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

Fun at In-N-Out

We are so excited that we have a new In-N-Out Burger in St. George. Even though it just opened this past Monday and we heard that the lines we crazy long we decided to go there for Friday-date-night. From the pictures below you can see what happens to us when you mix great fast food with our goofy senses of humor.

Trying my hand at Crafts

So...I've decided that I've found a new way to expend nervous energy--CRAFTING! If you need to run away from reality for awhile, or if you want to avoid the general minutia that can come from life, quilting is the perfect solution. Recently I've had a lot of fun making rag quilts. They are so fun and easy and make great gifts. Below are pictures of a table runner I made (they didn't have one that fit our table at the store) and a baby quilt that I made for my friend Katie. Now, I think I'll try my hand at knitting. Wish me luck!

Amanda's Birthday and Easter

Hello everyone! Thew few weeks are in the air, but we have major spring fever and don't feel like doing anything but being outside in this beautiful, breezy weather. We hope you're all well too. Here are some pics from the past few weeks.

My Mom made me a birthday cake. Isn't that sweet?


Our niece and nephew, Brindley and Brody--we had a little easter egg hunt, just for them.


This is Katie, Baby Kayla, and me, at Katie's baby shower.

My cousin, Brittany got baptized and we went to Paula's after to celebrate. :)

Fun Weekend!

Over the past few days, we went up to Saratoga Springs and stayed with Shaye's brother Skyler, and his wife Jamie, and our nephew, Shayden. We had a blast and a half! We also went to my BYU roommate's wedding reception, and I was able to catch up with a few old friends. It was a blast, but it's back to the real world now! :(
This is our nephew, Shayden, with the Easter Bunny in Fashion Place Mall in Murray. He's seriously, so adorable!

Comfort Movies

I have recently noticed I am inevitably drawn to a small group of novels for comfort. When I am really having a burn-out day, or if its just a full moon (if you know what I mean), I can sit down and open one of these novels and instantly things are 90% better. Though this comfort is short lived, I thrive on it at times. Lucky for me, film makers are sensible enough to make film adaptations of the books I love. I can experience all of the nostalgia in a much more compact period of time. The "comfort films" are as follows:

-Little Women
-Pride and Prejudice
-Anne of Avonlea
-Jane Eyre
-Breakfast at Tiffany's
- and now, Becoming Jane
I totally recommend this movie to anyone as hopelessly romantic as me. It is PG and completely clean, and gives a fictions account on Jane Austen's life. Seriously, rent it! That's all for now, hope you're all well!
