Lisa's Wedding







Well it's official Lisa is now Mrs. Liljenquist. We had quite the weekend as my little sister got married. It was a lot of work, but so much fun. She got married in the Manti temple and in the same room Deven and I got married in. It was a cold day, so I didn't get all the pictures I wanted to cause Gracie was freezing and just wanted to be held. But it was fun to spend the day with the family. I had to show the picture of Lisa cutting her cake, because the cake was made by my sister Sharon. She is so talented, it was her first wedding cake and it turned out GREAT!!! Congratulations Lisa and Matt.

The Beginning of February








Well we are excited to be in the month of February. We have had a busy week. We started the week off with a huge snow storm, and spent one night just taking in all the snow, it snowed all day long. I can't believe how much snow we have here. But I sapose it is a good thing we need a good winter. But this weekend was a really nice change. The sun was out all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I wanted to spend all afternoon outside enjoying the semi warm weather and the SUN, I love the Sun!!! Gracie got invited to a princess party this weekend and she was so excited that a princess came and visited. She talked about it all day, it is amazing how fascinated she is with princesses. Finally on Saturday night we decied to try out the ice skating rink. We thought we should take advantage of this, since I don't think there will be ice skating in Hawaii. Gracie had a blast, it took her a lot of convincing and a lot of warming up but by the end she was catching on and could hold her own around the rink, of course we had to hold her hands but it was so fun to see her and watch her confidence grow.

I've Been Tagged

This is actually a lot of fun. I have had a lot of fun reading everybody's answers. It was also fun to take a trip down memory lane.

1. Best thing you cooked last week. Well I have been working in the evenings and so I have left the cooking to Deven. I think the last thing I cooked was spaghetti and it was probably a couple of weeks ago. I am happy to say that I will be done working in just a couple of weeks and I am so excited to start cooking dinner again.
2. If money, time and babysitting were no object, where would you go and with who? I would love to go back to Italy and spend all the time that I could enjoying the entire country, especially the food and the laid back life style.
3. When was the last time you cried? Well I have been quite emotional this past week, Poor Deven, and I can't blame it on pregnancy. But I cried when I heard that President Hinckley passed away- may be that is why I have been emotional this past week.
