Happy 25th Birthday Bryce!! It has been quite the birthday!!! Gma and Gpa took us out the night before to the Elephant Bar which was of course delicious... that night when Bryce THOUGHT I went to bed... I really had stayed up an extra hour blowing up 25 balloons for him. My Bryce woke up on his birthday in a room full of balloons!! I made him breakfast.... Patti and Fred took us to PFChangs for lunch... I got my baby a Nixon watch plus pictures of us framed, etc. But I think his favorite part of his birthday was the birthday dinner from me. We ate at Javier's on Newport Beach and our buddy Kobe Bryant walked in and sat 5 tables down from us... it was awesome!! Needless to say... this birthday is going to be a hard one to beat.

We celebrated the 4th in California. My very first 4th of July here. We swam at Aunt Wendy's, Bryce went and golfed with the boys, we bbq'd and went and watched fireworks down at the park. They were awesome!! I love fireworks!! Arizona never lets you have any. It's our last holiday "single"... unless you count pioneer day. The 25th is coming sooner than we think! Only 2 weeks and half a day left. It's so crazy!!! We're just tying up some last minute pieces and then our "i do's".
Wish us luck! Hope you had a great 4th of July!

WE ARE SO IN LOVE! I never could have imagined a more perfect friendship and love. He is so sweet, yet so fun and so genuine. He's a total guy yet treasures me and takes care of any thing i need. We watch Angels games, Lakers games, and will soon be watching USC football come August.... HOWEVER... my sweetheart ALSO watches chick flicks with me and I think he secretly likes them. The last 2 movies we've seen are "sisters keeper" and "the proposal"... The Proposal is hilarious and probably my favorite movie right now. I think he's due for "Transformers" or something more "guy-ish" here pretty soon! :)

Don't ask! haha. Bryce had to jump like 8 times. The photographer FINALLY got the shot he wanted... and it was of course the one Bryce had to body roll out of when he hit the floor. I think he's still recovering from that fall. :) I do love this picture though. It's totally Bryce! But seriously... look how HIGH my babe got!

a kiss for me... (these are my favorite ones)

a kiss for him....

There was this cute little house. Apparently this place is some historical site the church now owns. ??? who knew.

We are only 2 1/2 weeks left in counting!! YAY!

This is my favorite thing to do as you can tell. This picture still gives me chills. He's amazing and I can't wait to marry him IN 16 DAYS!!! I can't believe how time has flown. We thought the day would never come and now it's coming faster than ever. We can't wait!

This is everyone's favorite. It had been raining in Utah everyday for like 2-3 weeks so the grass was super green. We were lucky to only have thunder clouds this day, ESPECIALLY since Bryce and I flew up for only the day.

Little do you know... we are actually inside some beaver hut. Huge ugly beavers live in this thing and we had to wait and scare them out just for this picture. I hope you like it. Naturally, let's just say the ground wasn't the most ideal standing place, but it made for some good times. Ha Ha. My heart was pounding the whole time... just waiting til some large old beaver walked in on us kissing! That's worse than a mom or dad or grandparent (in our case) walking in on you. :)
