Weather + Wedded Bliss

The weather was so beautiful [and HOT] on Monday that a few of the guys from work and I went to Moochies for lunch and sat outside.  Moochies is my favorite:  I have never had their famous meatball sandwich, but the chicken sandy treats me well every time.

Tuesday, after an appointment, I stopped by Bountiful Jr. High to watch my cousin Tyson kill it in his lacrosse game.  I sat by my uncle on the shady side of the field and helped him “keep time”.  Actually, I talked his ear off and he was distracted…but I still helped…a little?  Tyson scored two goals and my heart soared when I heard what his coach and teammates called him on the field:  “Ham”.  That was often my nickname in middle school/high school [or Hammer Time] – it brought me back to the old times.

Later in the week Zach had an ice hockey game and we decided to make a night of it.  Mark and Jeanene joined us for dinner at Texas Roadhouse and then we all drove over to the Oval to watch him play.  I love having people to sit with at Zach’s games and loved chatting with them.

It was his first ice hockey game of the season:  he scored a goal and had a killer assist.  The Sting [his team name: hence the black and yellow jerseys] didn’t win, but we all had so much fun watching him play!

Friday Zach and I went to my friend Chris’ Wedding Dinner.  His sweet [wife now, no longer fiancé] Bre is perfect for him and we are so happy they found each other!  I got to design their wedding invitations, it was such a fun project to be a part of…

It was so fun to see so many long-time friends.  I miss them all!

After the wedding dinner we decided to catch a late flick.  We both voted to see 42.  Turns out everyone else at the theater was there to see Star Trek…except us.  Just us and a few hundred Trekkies…

Saturday night was Chris and Bre’s wedding reception in Orem at the Sleepy Ridge golf course.  It was beautiful!  We got to visit with more of my friends and grubbed on delicious crepes.  I also tried my hand at baby wrangling.  Chris’ niece Eva is just about the most darling baby on the planet…

We couldn’t stay too long because we had a birthday party, but the weather finally cleared up and it turned out to be the most beautiful night.

Our Saturday ended with hot fudge sundaes and french fries.

Sunday a couple of girls in my ward and I sang in church.  Whenever I sing in sacrament I am basically a wreck all week before.  I literally make myself sick.  It’s pretty comical, actually.  After we sang our song, and after I sat down, I finally felt relief.  When sacrament was over and Zach and I started making our way to Sunday School I saw my whole family sitting in the back of the chapel waiting for us.  I had no idea they were coming.  To see them all there made my entire week.  I couldn’t help but cry.  I didn’t want them to leave and I wasn’t doing a good enough job convincing them to stay through Sunday School with us.  I love my family.  I wish they knew how much it meant to me to see them all there.  It was the perfect ending to my week.

This week?  We’re kicking off our summer to-do list.  Yes, I know…I apologize in advance.  If it gets annoying, which I am sure it will, just know that it won’t last too long.  Memorial Day can’t come soon enough!
