These Are a Few of My Favorite Things (and People)

I had an incredible weekend, although nothing all that exciting happened, I loved every minute of it.

I am going to include Thursday night into my weekend happenings because Steve is so cute and planned a perfect date since it was my first night back from my trip. He picked me up at work, made me dinner, had a picnic by Mountain Dell Reservoir (so pretty!), walked around Temple Square, got my favorite treat (mint chocolate chip ice cream with magic shell), and watched a chick flick (he is so good to watch them with me). It was so fun, and he was so thoughtful. It was dark when we were at Temple Square but we tried to get a couple good pictures...
Our efforts to be the next Vanna White (we are such nerds and it's pictures like this that prove it and document it)....
Saturday was the game. It was James' birthday and he came with Heidi and we met up with Steve at the game. I just love a Utah football game! Winning is always good, but just being there is fun...
More documentation of our nerdy-ness (or at least Steve's)...
After the game I needed to kill some time in Salt Lake and went and joined the party at Maga and Papa's. They were so nice to treat us to Cafe Rio and I was able to catch up on some Jamie time...
Although I didn't get pictures, Saturday night Steve played a live show with his friend Trevor at a restaurant. They did a really good job and it was so fun to be with all their friends that showed up.

Today was a perfect fall day and Shannon was smart enough to want to capture it. After church we went to take some pictures to document the beauty. We didn't really have a lot to work with to get both of us in the picture as well as the surroundings. We did the best we could but also ended up with some individuals. I think they turned out pretty well. Shannon is just the best and I am loving this fall weather!... I feel like this should be my senior picture of something, but I did get this new dress and I was so excited to wear it today. Who doesn't love new clothes?...
Steve came up and spent the evening with me going on a walk, making cookies, and watching some movies.

It was a great weekend and I loved getting to spend time with so many of my favorite people! I am so lucky to have such great people in my life.

The game was fun and it was nice to finally met Steve. I hear so much about him that I now contribute to all of it. I need a copy of the picture of James and I.

Fun weekend. Steve is very cute! I can't believe all the stuff he does. Love your dress!

You seriously look so pretty in all those pictures. But then, we always knew you were super photogenic. Loved that I made the blog. That always makes me happy.

And what the heck are you doing with my EXACT same outfit - dress, boots, tights. Joker. Small detail you neglected to mention. You look good!
