Happy 8th Anniversary Chris!

Chris and I celebrated our 8th year anniversary. I can't believe it has been 8 years already. I wish that we were able to go back to Hawaii where we got married, but maybe some day we will get back there. Here are some pictures of us on our wedding day. I was 22 and Chris was 24. We were very young.

This year we couldn't decide on what to do. Should we stay home or go away somewhere for the weekend? We decided to stay here to save some money. We decided to got out to dinner at Tuscany restaurant. The food wasn't to bad, but the best part was the dessert! The restraunt was OK, but it wasn't very private. We were place in the middle of a big room in the middle of 7 other groups. I don't think that I enjoyed it very much. I think that we will go somewhere else next year.

Here is a picture of the kitchen from the front lobby. It was really a pretty place.

For our appetizer we got the Chiefs Hearthbread selection. It was really good,

but it was bigger than we thought and it filled us up so much that

we forfeited the salads.

This was what I ate. It was the pan seared chicken picatta with olive oil

mashed potatoes and asparagus in a light caper butter sauce.

It was really good. I have tasted better mashed potatoes, but it wasn't that bad.

This is what Chris ate . He has the pan seared veal picatta with mash potatoes

and asparagus in a creamy red sauce. He said that he liked it, but I tasted it

and it tasted weired.

For Dessert we didn't want to share, so we got different ones.

I got an Old Fashion Chocolate Cake with
Ganache Frosting and Vanilla Bean Gelato.

It was so yummy in my tummy!

Chris got the Peanut Butter Moose Tower. It was yummy also.

I went back and forth between both of the desserts.

After Tuscany we went and saw From Paris with Love. It was a pretty

good movie, but it had a lot of violence. We had a good time. We ended

up having a quiet night at home with out Triston. It was nice to

be able to sleep in and not be worrying about Triston.

Scrapbook-aholic

Hmm.... Have you ever thought that you were addicted when your dinning room table and counter top was covered in scrapbook madness? I have! I admit that I am scrapbook-aholic! Well I have been using the dinning room table for the last year, and I decided I need to get my own space. So my awesome Sister-in-law Amie was searching on ksl classifieds and she found me an awesome scrapbook cabinet! Thank Amie!

My Dinning room mess!


I also take over the front room!


Ta Da! Here is my amazing scrapbook cabinet! I got it at such a good deal! Thanks to my husband's bargaining skills I even got it $100 cheaper than they were asking. It is made out of knotty alder and is white washed. The funny thing was I found a flier about this cabinet from
and expo and I looked it up online and it retails at $2400 and I only got it for $700!

Thanks to my brother Alex, my husband and the other 3 men from my ward
that had to carry it into the house!



Here is the inside peek of my scrapbook world!
The sad thing is that I already have it 2/3rds full!

I love the fact that my Cricut Expression fits perfectly!

I love all the drawers and all the slots to hold 12 x12 paper,

and best of all it has its own flip out table if I ever need to use it!

I LOVE my scrapbook cabinet!
