Weddings, birthday and end of the semester 2010

This was Trent's solution to a hard chair after hurting his back lifting weights.

Hello friends and family. Happy Wedding, Thanksgiving, end of fall semester, Birthday (to me), 1st Anniversary, Christmas, and New Year! Whew, we made it!

Just before Thanksgiving break, one of my best friends Bridgette married her best friend Christian. Trent and I had the honor to attend their sealing in the Salt Lake temple. It was truly remarkable and special to be there on her special day! Trent and I love Bridgette and Christian and cannot wait for our adventures together in the future!

We kidnapped her before and made her wear silly clothes!

Such a good lookin couple :)

Isn't she the prettiest bride you've ever seen? And doesn't she have such good looking friends?

Another shout out to my great friend Lauren who left for

massage school in Huntington Beach. I already miss her so much!

Trent and I spent Thanksgiving with my whole immediate family in Las Vegas. It's baby central these days at our family reunions so we spent a lot of time watching "choo choo soul" on Youtube, playing superman, dancing to the piano music, regurgitating squash, and smiling and laughing. But don't you dare worry, the grown ups had their times too. One of the nights I put together a "couples feud" game night where we played rounds of Minute to Win It and the Newlywed Game. But more than anything, the favorite activity was: EATING!

The end of the semester was anything but easy for Trent and me. I was working 17 hour days straight with homework, projects and study sessions. The effort was well worth the reward though. I'm pleased to say Trent and I had a very successful semester.

On one of the study days before school got out, one of my FAVORITE bands, OK Go, performed in Salt Lake City. I couldn't resist going and since it was three days from my birthday I thought I had a valid reason to invite my best friends. My whole gang drove through the Friday night traffic and finally made it to the Old Spaghetti Factory. After that delicious meal we went to the concert! It was better than I could have imagined. They could have a show in Las Vegas they are just so creative!

One of their well know songs, Return, they played on Handbells!
