Girls weekend

This weekend I went to salt lake to hang out with my mom and sisters. It was a lot of fun. We went to a craft fair, watched a girly flick, and I discovered my new favorite store. It's called hobby lobby. Only one drawback...I missed Danny.

When Danny makes the bed...

This is what happens when Danny makes the bed. He doesn't have the patience for decorative pillows, and usually I find myself thinking "meh, who really cares, it's just a bed." Besides it's pretty cute, and I'm just glad it's made at all.

Fun fun fun

My baby brother was in St George so we went down to spend time with the fam. It was a fun weekend. We went to the church to hit some golf balls. As usual I was pretty un coordinated (Ill blame it on my left handedness and trying to use right handed clubs). By the end if the weekend our stomachs were stuffed, and our car was painted, (some kid decorated our car when he couldn't find camis, don't worry this didn't make sense to us either) but hey, it was worth it.

What a goof!

This is just one example of why I love my husband. We went to St. George for danny's cousins wedding. While we were there we decided to make a quick stop at the DI. Danny picked out this beauty. Of course, something this awesome just HAS to be tried on!

Lazy Sundays

We love sundays, we both have the day off, so we just waste it together. Yesterday we decided to get out our camping chairs and enjoy our books in the backyard. We also made chocolate fondue and dipped apples in it. All in all it was a pretty sweet day.

Freezer Jam

After going to the church farm & picking peaches, I needed something to do with all the peaches. Canning is something that's always intimidated me. I think it's because my mom never did it. Then my sister let me in on a little secret. "Freezer Jam" This stuff is amazing. We made Peach/Rasberry Jam & it was so easy & so darn delicious. We made 8 batches, 4 each. Now we have enough to last for atleast a year. I may even give some away as gifts. Here's the recipe. I know no one reads my blog but me, but oh well! (we did 4 batches @ a time. so that's what this recipe calls for)

8 cups peach puree

5 cups rasberries, bosineberries, or blackberries (or any combination)

4 packages of pectin

18 cups of sugar

1 cup lemon juice

4 cups light corn syrup

mix together fruit & lemon juice first

slowly stir in pectin

let stand 30 min stirring ever 5 min

slowly mix in corn syrup

slowly mix in sugar

stir until sugar is dissolved

put into containers (we used tupperware because they stack well)

put lids on & let sit for 24hrs

put 1 container in the fridge & store the rest in the freezer. Jam will last about a month in the fridge & 1yr in freezer. Enjoy!

Labor day weekend

We went to st george for labor day weekend sundi brought her kids down too so it was lots of fun. We started the weekend watching the byu game with danny's family. we were excited to be able to watch it since we don't have that option on basic cable. Then all the girls had a sleep over in the backyard, that was really fun until the sprinklers came on. We also did some peach picking at the church farm, went swimming, saw the prince of persia (so good), and watched the boise state game at iggys. It's so nice having both of our families live in st george. I feel like we get spoiled everytime we come down.

We're Married!

Well we've been married for almost a month now, and with the way things worked out we had to stay with my parents for awhile, but yesterday we finally moved into our own house in Cedar City! Yahoo! Now I can finally do cute little crafy house projects with my sisters :)

2 Days

So the wedding is a mere 2 days away I can't believe it. In 2 little tiny days I'm going to be someones wife for eternity, and I'm pretty darn excited. Although planning this wedding has been stressful at times, I've never gotten nervous. I know without a doubt that I am supposed to marry this handsome boy. I feel like I struck gold because there isn't a better guy out there for me. So here's to forever! I can't wait!

My First Post

My niece Lydia keeps asking me when I'm going to get a blog. I've had this thing for like 3 months and I still haven't really been able to figure the dang thing out. Does anyone know how to get the free backgrounds to fit the way they're supposed to? Or maybe know of a better website? The thing about blogging is i don't know where to start. Do I update on my whole life? The last 5 years? The last 6 months? 3 months? I think since I'm kinda lazy I'll probably just focus on what's going on right now.

Right now I'm engaged to Danny Johnson, and working on planning a wedding. I'm getting tired of making decisions and wish my mom would just make all the planning decisions for me. It's okay though, because at the end of the day what's important is that I get to marry the man of my dreams.

I would like to go on, and on, and on, about how amazing Danny is, but I know that would embarrass him. So lets just make it very clear that there is plenty to go on and on about if I wanted to. He's a pretty amazing guy, and I'm a pretty lucky girl.
