Temple than Coronado. What more could you ask for?

In my last post, I made a goal to spend some time with just Casey. So to start off the year we went on a date that friday. For Christmas, we got a groupon to rent bikes on Coronado. Since Casey usually has a week day off and works the weekend we decided to use our groupon before Robin goes back to work from winter break.

Before we went to Coronado we decided to start off the year right we should go to the temple and do a session since we haven't been able to do a session in a while. It was great being back in the temple again. We have gone a few times but wasn't able to do a session. It was a much need trip to the temple and I want to try to go once a month this year.

After the temple we headed for Coronado Island. We got to the bike shop and was on our way. Let me say that I forgot how different it is to be riding a bike. I haven't rode on in years and Casey said the last time he thinks he rode one was before his mission. It was a beautiful day and a great day just riding around the island together. I love being able to spend some time with my husband, even though I missed my little walker.

We had some fun with the panoramic feature on our phone. We couldn't miss the beautiful beach and ocean that we were around. What a great day!

Date Night - November 2012

Since Walker was born Casey and I haven't really had a date night. Ya we go out sometimes just us two but its not really like a date. It more like us just going to get some food while Robin and Perry watches Walker.

So about a month ago, Casey and I were able to go out on a date. We went to 'Oscars' which is now called America's O's or something like that. It was pretty good. Their breadsticks are amazing. We ordered a pizza with unlimited breadsticks and really we just wanted to breadsticks. Before we left we asked for two more servings of breadsticks and just packed them to take them home! BREADSTICKS FOR A WEEK!! :]

The Ghetto Boomers.

After we were going to go see a movie but then we decided to do something different because we always watch movies at home. So we decided to go to Boomers. It was pretty ghetto but still fun. We just played the arcade games. We played mostly the games that gave us tickets so we can get something at the end, which didn't happen. Most of the games we cheep and didn't give us all of the tickets that we earned or stole out tokens. Like I said it was pretty ghetto. We found a couple games that we liked to play the most. We liked Skeet Ball (I don't know about the spelling) and also Fruit Ninja.

It was fun to get out and spend some time with just us two. I love spending time with Casey and wish we could spend more time together.

Walker putting his socks on.

While we were on our date, Robin and Perry watched walker. He loves his grandparents. While we were out he tried to put on his sock. He kept on looking at his sock then his foot then he put his sock up to his foot. Walker knows that they go on his feet but just couldn't figure out how to get them there. He also would put them in his mouth then looked at Robin and she would say 'no' then he would put the sock to his foot and look at her again and she would say 'yes'. He would then repeat that a couple times and shake his head when he ever puts the sock up to his month. He couldn't get it on there but he sure did try. He is such a smart boy and is really trying to be much older than he actually is.

a daddy days

Since it was Casey's first father's day I wanted to make it special. 

I made a card for him from walker and got him a belt. In the morning the twins made breakfast in the morning. We had french toast with eggs. It was very good. We then just hanged out until church. After church we had dinner with the Todds. We grilled steak and had shrimp, corn and potato salad. After everyone left we watched the new sherlock homes. It was fun being able to celebrate father's day with family. 

some of my favorite pictures of Casey and Walker.

Casey is such a great dad. He loves Walker so much and you can tell. Whenever Walker starts to cry he makes sure that he is taken care of ASAP. He is such a sweet dad to him. I love seeing how much he loves Walker and how much he wants the best for him. I could not imagine someone better to be the father of my children. I love you Casey.

I also wanted to mention Happy Father's Day to my dad. He is such a great example. I love him so much. He has done so much for me in my life and still is doing so much for me. I could not express how grateful I am for everything he has done. He has been there for me thur happy times and sad times. I know that I am able to go to him with any question or any problem and he will be able to help out. He really has been such a great example. I couldn't ask for a better dad. I love you daddy!

To Celebrate Our Year!

To celebrate our year anniversary we didn't do much. We mostly just spent time with one another. Sunday was our actual anniversary. We started off the day by having french toast for breakfast. We then went to church. After church we walked around temple square. For the rest of the day we just spent some time together. Casey made a wedding video for me and I gave him all three x-men on blue-ray. He loved it and so did I. Later that day, we had lemon chicken for dinner. It was pretty good. For dessert we made funfetti cupcakes since we weren't able to have the top of our wedding cake.

I also cut casey's hair if you couldn't tell. I love it! :]

Monday we both took the day off from work so we could celebrate some more. I had school in the morning that I could not miss so we had to work around that. After my class we got some cupcakes at a gourmet cupcake place that we had a Groupon for from Casey's mom. We went home and made ourselves some lunch and then took it to memory grove to have a picnic. It started to rain a little so we decided to go back to our apartment and just hang out there.

It was great having some days off to spend some time together and remember the best day of our lives. Our wedding day was perfect. We couldn't have wished for anything better. It is great to be married to my best friend. Yes there are those moments where I ask myself what am I doing? and then there are those moments where I say I couldn't ask for anything else to be happening in my life right now. I love every moment of the time that I get to be with Casey. He is truly the love of my life, my soul mate, my eternal companion. I could not imagine being married to anyone else. I love you Casey.

And I couldn't be happier!

I can't believe that it has been a year already. 

It has gone by so fast but so much has happened.

Our wedding day is a day that I will never forget. Everything worked out how we wanted it to. It was a beautiful day. We couldn't ask for anything more. We are both so happy for the memories that we have shared together for this past year being married. I love casey to death. He will always be there for me when I need him and I will be there for him. I do not know what I would do without him in my life. We have been married for a year with many many more years to come. I can't wait for all of our adventures ahead of us. Happy Anniversary Casey! I love you!

We also get to share this special day with Casey's grandparents. We want to say to them...

Living Room Redo

As I said before I decided to rearrange our living room. At first I thought that it was going to be hard to make the room look bigger and look proportional. After moving the couch all around the room to find the perfect place to put it as well dealing with the angle wall that we have, we finally reached the final solution. It turned out good. Here are some pictures of how the room looks like now. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the before. So I will try and describe how it looked like before.

***Before: The couch was closer to the angle wall, the table was where the couch is now, the coffee table and entertainment center switched spots, movies were on the wall next to the pictures, interior design drawers were infront of the windows with school stuff and picture frames on top of them.***

View from the kitchen.

Couch

**For side tables, I used my interior design drawers.**

Dining Table

** The picture wall is not done so ignore the lack of proportion of pictures. **

Coffee Table and Printer

**The printer use to be on the Entertainment center. It make it

Entertainment Center

DVD Solution

**If you have been in our apartment before you would have noticed our love for movies. We both have a great love for movies. Before we had the movies in racks that were on the wall. This made the room look cluttered and messy. To fix this problem we got these boxes from IKEA to put our movies in. I love them and IKEA! The make the room look so much cleaner as well not as cluttered and organized. **

 I am really like the turn out of the room. I feel that the room looks bigger and also the sunlight that we get to have comes into the our home much more since there isn't anything blocking it. I am glad that I have a husband that is willing to help me move our furniture all around the room. He is the best. Thanks Case!

Park City Adventure

This past weekend Casey and I went to Park City for the day. Nikon was having this thing where you can rent out lenses and bodies to take pictures with and test them out. On Saturday we got to do that. It was great and tons of fun. It was most defiantly something that Casey and I needed, sometime away from Salt Lake and work. Usually when Casey wants to go take pictures with him camera I go but is super bored because I don't have something to take cool pictures with. But this time we got to take his camera and rent another one for him and me. So we had 3 cameras. Yes that is a lot of money to just caring around main street in Park City, but it was tons of fun! Nikon also has some wireless flash stations set up that we can experiment with. It was great being able to see Casey doing something that he has so much passion for and really enjoys. Here is some pictures of our adventure.

My husband has such great talent and I love him for it! I am so grateful that we going to be together forever! I am such a lucky girl to have him! Love you Case! <3
