the best day of my life

I must admit, I have spent the last few hours browsing through our wedding pictures. I received a darling little package from Ciara Richardson today & have been all smiles ever since. I had to share because I am just too excited about it. Today our wedding was featured on Destination I Do's blog. You can see the article by clicking here. Because it was the most important/best day of my life, I have quite a few photos. I hope you enjoy!

a wedding video

Today marks the three month date that I have been married to my tall, dark & handsome. I couldn't have imagined I could be so happy. The best decision I ever made was saying "Yes". I wanted to make my own little edit of our wedding day. A special thanks to Fielding Films for shooting this all.

A little taste of my Europe trip

Around this time last year, I was making my way back to the States after spending a few wonderful months living in France. My husband & I traveled through Europe from Italy, to England, Monaco, to France. We met such wonderful people & loved learning about/experiencing other cultures. I finally got around to making a little video of our adventures. Bare with me, this is my first video attempt so the quality is clearly amateur. Hope you enjoy!

Stew had the opportunity to share his talents and good taste by designing his parents' remodel last year. It was amazing to see the transformation and how his vision all came together. I must admit I will miss searching for light fixtures and furniture with him, but am looking forward to doing it all for our place. The end result was magazine worthy...literally. In this month's edition of Utah Style Magazine his work is featured both on the cover and in the magazine. If you grab your own you can see his work and the metamorphosis!

Honeymoon post 3

I thought we were going to stay in Sydney for the last two weeks of the honeymoon, but Stew had another secret up his sleeve. When we were on our way to return the rental car we had gotten for a few days, I was trying to explain to Stew that I thought we were lost. We were on our way to the airport but the map suggested the car rental place elsewhere. Stew told me to pull out the itinerary to check which airline we would be flying on! He pulled one over my head once again. We flew to Hamilton Island for the last week of our stay in Australia. It was BEAUTIFUL. We stayed at the beautiful Qualia Resort. Other than getting seasick, the week was wonderful. We went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef, had a picnic on a private island, and pizza on the harbor. I don't have a lot of pictures there because I was sick in bed for a few days, but I hope these will do! 

Honeymoon post 2

After Stew & I left the Blue Mountains, we spent a week in Sydney, Australia. It was a completely different way to see the country. It took some adjusting to get used to driving on the left side of the road with the drivers seat on the right side of the car, but once we got a hang for it we loved adventuring through the beautiful city. We stayed at a place called The Establishment Hotel which might possibly be one of the coolest buildings I have ever seen. It is an old brick factory in the back of an alley filled with restaurants and bars on every floor with a different design and feel. Our first night in Sydney we found our favorite restaurant, Mr. Wong. It was right next to our hotel & was the best Cantonese food I have ever had in my life. We loved it so much we went back, several times. Also in Sydney we made sure to head to the amazing Taronga Zoo, and did the beautiful walk from Coogee beach to Bondi, went to the art museum, & even got to go to an opera at the famous opera house! I fell in love with the city, the style, the design, the food & so much more. I am crossing my fingers for an excuse to visit the beautiful place one again.
