4monthiversary honeymoon throwback

Today is our 4 monthiversary! It still feels like a dream that I am a wife… until I see a sink full of dishes or wake up to a handsome man next to me.

Keaton treated me to yummy dinner at the Cheesecake Factory tonight.
In between stuffing our faces with delish bread and ordering our overpriced entrees, I asked Keat what his fave moments have been in the last 4 months.
He immediately answered with "Our Honeymoon". Even though that was a whole 4months ago, I could not agree more. It was seriously the most relaxing and enjoyable week of our lives.
We spent the week in Southern California. It wasn't fancy or over the top, but it was just what we needed.
We decided to drive to Las Vegas the first day. We stayed in a snazzy suite in the Monte Carlo over looking the strip. We had never stayed in a place that nice, so we totally felt like a celeb. Tell people you are on your honeymoon and you will get star quality treatment, no joke!
The next day, we were off to SoCal. Warm temps, sunny skies, and the beach were the only things we really wanted…and that is exactly what we got!
We spent the entire week at different beaches, eating yummy food, enjoying baseball games and finally letting it set in that we were actually married and this was real life.

It was the best week. Traveling with my HUSBAND, doing what we wanted to do and not having a care in the world definitely qualifies as a successful honeymoon. I wouldn't mind a 4 monthiversary moon.

Some highlights of the week:

  • Doing a session at the San Diego Temple
  • a SIXTEEN inning Anaheim Angels game.
    • we almost called it quits at inning 15, but decided to stay just ONE more inning. Thanks Mike Trout for pulling off that victory for us!
  • Medieval Times. I had never been and wasn't the biggest fan of eating with my hands (GERMS!), but Keat absolutely loved it as a kid, so we went. It sure was entertaining. Also, our knight won #WINNING
  • We were trying to find a new beach because huntington was PACKED. We stopped at one down the PCH. Ended up being a dog beach. Made us want a pup of our own so bad. It turned out to be one of the best beach days we had all week!!
  • Our suite at the Monte Carlo has a jacuzzi in it. Let's be honest...#honeymoon #dreamcometrue
  • Riding bikes along the beach. What's not to love?

just your average Fall photos.

Let's be honest… Everyone in the state of Utah has gotten their picture by a brightly colored autumn tree or in the gorgeous mountain scenery. I absolutely do not blame them. This has been the longest fall I think I have ever experienced. Of course, I had FOMO (fear of missing out) and totally wanted my photo taken with some fall-time beauty behind me!
Plus, I def didn't want to use a wedding photo for a holiday card this year, so it was a must that we get out there asap.
I couldn't spend a ton of money by hiring a pro photog, even though I certainly wanted to!
We decided to just go take our own photos at Wheeler Farm (I know, so cliche) but they actually turned out pretty decent! Anna, Keat's youngest sister met us there to snap a couple pics. -We paid her in starbucks gift cards.

Honestly, we only needed ONE solid photo for the card, but to my surprise, we actually got a few great ones!
Now we have a choice! Which I kind of don't like…haha.
If you know me, you know that I am the MOST INDECISIVE human being you will ever meet. I get anxiety and find sooo many unnecessary pros and cons with everything. This applies to way too many aspects in my life, but that is a whole different post…

So, let's see if any of you have opinions? I'd love some input.
Plz & Thnx

ps. don't mind our basic pose in almost every single one of these… we aren't the most creative/experienced models.









We did try the whole "Throw leaves in the air while looking awesome and in love"…it's harder than it looks, apparently.

I'd love to hear what you guys think! (all 37 of you followers…)
