That time we went to Disneyland! (Honeymoon)

I guess I should tell you about our honeymoon! We'll work backward. I promise, wedding pictures are forthcoming.

We stayed the night at the Little America (thanks to some great aunts and uncles who gave us a great room!) and in the morning, we began our drive to California.

We were met with a storm, which washed away a lot of the window paint and decorations which our friends had so lovingly put on our car. We listened to "Matched" on audio book, and just talked a lot. It was great, but long, since we did the whole drive in one day.

But at long last, we reached Disneyland!

 Yes, we are wearing "Just Married" pins. It was so much fun. Wearing them started a lot of conversations, and almost every worker congratulated us. (Even though sometimes it was an obligatory, bored "congratulations.")

 It was so blasted hot. We carried around a water bottle all day long and kept filling it up even though the drinking fountain water is not cold. It's water. Whatever.

 We ate a fancy dinner at The Blue Bayou. Sam and I both love Cajun/Creole/Southern food. It was so yummy. And it was so fun watching all the people go into the scary depths of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Roller coasters are so much fun, and I'm so glad Sam and I both will go on pretty much anything. We did have some firsts, though. (Please note the random bystanders in the photo. It's part of the DLand experience.)

 It was my first time on Storybook Land. Yes, it took me 21 years to go on this ride. I guess I was always too busy going on hard core rides to go on this simple, adorable Disneyland classic.

Sam went on the teacups for the first time! Usually spinning makes him dizzy...

He's OK. Don't worry.

 We waited an hour and forty-five minutes for the new Cars ride, Radiator Springs Racers. It was worth the wait. It was broken down for an hour, and took fourty-five minutes to fix it. But we met some new friends in line, so it was worth it.

It was a great way to begin our journey of marriage.


Our favorite rides (and why):

Meg--Space Mountain (We went on this about four times), Indiana Jones (just because), Thundermountain Railroad (we rode it right underneath a sky full of fireworks), and Matterhorn (Yeti, even though they don't have the snuggle seats anymore)

Sam--Space Mountain (music makes the ride super fun), Indiana Jones (Such a classic, and just so fun), and Midway Mania (reminds him of me, because I raved about it forever and it's way better than Astro Blasters)

Summer Musical

So remember when I told you that I was going to be doing something fantastic this summer? Well it is time to spill the beans. I am going to be in Syracuse City's "The Music Man." I am excited and I cannot wait until rehearsals start. The last time I did a play was the summer after I graduated, and I miss it so much. Musicals are so much fun to be a part of.

I'm a pick-a-little lady... Maud Dunlop to be precise. I didn't know I was old enough to be a married lady, but make up and acting do amazing things. I am ready to work hard, meet people, and sing my soul out.

Anyway, I just wanted to tell ya'll. It will make the summer fly by, I hope! Time is tick-tocking by. I'm alright with that.

Going to the Zoo

Gosh, I haven't blogged in so long!

OK, it's really been just a week or so.

Last Saturday was a day at the zoo. Brian and I with Tasha and her fiancée. His name is Joe.

They're cute.

So are we.

It snowed.

Brian and I just love owls. They're just so wise and we like to think we're pretty wise ourselves.

When we (NaTasha and I) were in high school, we used "going to the zoo" as a euphemism for something else. Ya, we thought we were really cool.

School is getting so crazy. And that's OK. Work is going well, and it's never dull there. Thanks for sticking with me, all!

My birthday

Yes folks, I am twenty. It's been a great 2 decades. But I don't want to stop and get all sentimental... I have plenty to do, plenty to see, and plenty to love.

I celebrated my birthday with family on MLK day.

But Tuesday I had school and work, so when I got home I had myself a big glass of milk and a red velvet cupcake from the Sugar Daisy Bakery while I read the paper.

Life is good.

Titanic

Even though it was raining, we went boating.

I had fun, even though I've never been so wet and cold before. I just imagined that I was a survivor on the Titanic.

Meg goes to P-town

I know it may seem unusual, a die-hard Ute that I am, but I did in fact go down to P-town this past weekend! And I actually did have a wonderful time. I went to visit my friend Alexis!

We rode bikes, goofed around on the two streets that make up down-town Provo. We played Killer Bunnies (which a really weird, but cool card game.)

We woke up early and went on a photo shoot. Alexis is an amazing photographer!

Then we went to Bridal Veil Falls and out to lunch at the amazing Zoupas. Below are some photos for your enjoyment:

I love this one! We totally found this urban boardwalk that was scary, but cool.
I love the mail... and when I got home I had a letter! Imagine that.

She just told me to look sassy! hahaha
I love the blue-white window. It looks like it's glowing or something!
This is one of my favorites because I love the symmetry.
