About Freakin' Time....

Back in December Dave's parents bought all of the family tickets to

the BYU-UofU BBall game.

Final Score: U of U- 50, BYU- 63

Angry Utes fans.
Happy Cougars...

p.s. being a BYU Athletics Fan, does NOT make us ZOOBIES!

Girls Night

Tiffany was in Salt Lake for a nursing convention so I met up with her and April at the Gateway.

It made me kind of sad that I didnt just stick out two more semesters and finish my nursing degree. But, then I remembered all the "poopy" stories, and I was suddenly ok.

Then we ate dinner at Red Rock. Muy Delicioso.

Taken

We tried to see Taken on opening night but apparently showing up 20 minutes before the movie starts is a bad idea. So, after failing on our first attempt, we decided to do the online thing and not risk it being sold out again. We showed up an hour before the movie started and somehow still ended up toward the back of the line.

It was well worth the wait. It was one of Dave's favorite movies in a LONG time. If you have'nt seen it.... you definitely need to!

Anniversary Quesadilla

Last Sunday was our 2 month anniversary.
I made salmon and coconut shrimp for lunch after church. For dinner, Dave then decided he would make me something. This is what he made....

Yes. Its a Quesadilla with a mint in the middle!

New Ride

My new car.
Mazda CX-7
YAY!

Mr. and Mrs. Madsen (still kinda weird!)

One of my favorite pictures of us

He had no idea what he was in for!


I swore I would NEVER do a picture like this and well, here are the rings!
(and my middle finger looks like a nub, but really I still have all 5 fingers!)

My 15 year old brother wanted to play a few songs at our reception.
So, he stepped in and gave our other wedding singer a drink break.
It was a perfect wedding present.

besties...

My mom designed and made their dresses. I love how they turned out!

Alicia, Kelli, Janessa, Megan, Dad, Mom, Jes, Dave, Cathy, John, Matt, Kyleur, Ryan and Jake. Whew.

Best cake ever. Seriously. The top was key lime with cream cheese filling.
The middle was red velvet with bavarian cream filling.
The bottom was pumpkin chocolate chip with cream cheese filling.
Yum.

Honeymoon in Maui

I could not have asked for a more perfect place to honeymoon! I love Maui. We rented a little Chevy Cobalt (which is my opinion has the absolute WORST turning radius in the history of vehicles… no offense if you drive one, but you could be driving a semi-truck and have a better turning radius!) and began our journey in Maui. We stayed at the Sheraton on Kaanapali Beach in an oceanfront view hotel room. In efforts to make my bag fit the 50 lb max, I accidentally took my camera out and left it in the car. We had to buy a couple disposable cameras from an ABC store. They are not the best quality, but at least we have pictures! We spent most of our time playing on the beach or shopping at Whalers Village. Dave even talked me into swimming out to the black rock to jump off. I am a giant pansy and so I only jumped off the small cliff while David, being all macho, jumped off the highest cliff. We spent Thanksgiving dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise watching the sunset and eating a big ol juicy hamburger. Amazing. We loved it so much, we went back the next night.

Happily Ever After

On November 25, 2008 I married my Prince Charming. We had the most perfect day ever! We were married in the Salt Lake Temple at 10:20 in the morning. Then we did all the routine family pictures before heading over to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building where we had an amazing luncheon. All of the months of planning definitely paid off. Everything turned out beautiful. I especially love how the center pieces that Cathy made turned out. After the luncheon, Dave and I headed over to the reception center at Heritage Gardens. We have the most amazing friends and family because by the time we arrived, everything was already put together. The cake, the food, the flowers, the candy buffet, and all the decorations were exactly how I wanted them. The reception was scheduled to begin at 6pm, but ten minutes before there was already a line forming out the door! We had so many guests it was absolutely crazy. Finally at 9 o’clock (an hour later than planned) the line died down and Dave and I were able to make our escape! We were absolutely starving so our first stop was a Maverick to buy some food. Well, we came out with Gatorade and a few boxes of candy and a bag of chips! Luckily, right next to our hotel was a Carl’s Junior where we were able to order some real food! Finally back at the Marriot we were able to relax.

Suite Jazz Game

Last week, Dave got tickets from his work to go see the Jazz play against the Wizards. The game was a total blowout because the Wizards are probably the WORST team in the NBA, but eating yummy food in the suite was so much fun!










Driving to Salt Lake... Dave thinks he's hot when he wears MY sunglasses. Oh dear.

Becca and her crazy pregnant craving for popcorn! They didnt have any in our room, so she walked into the one next to us "borrowed" some from them!

I dont even remember the final score. I just know that the Jazz won and my tummy was very happy.
