a little kitchen love

Lately, I have been a little spoiled. Since Stew lives in Arizona for half the year and here for the other, quality time is something we value. The past few weekends Stew has been flying in after work to make sure we can get some. This last weekend when we were not attending lots of showers, Stew planned a little date night for us. He made me the yummiest dinner. To add to his long list of talents and accomplishments, the man can cook I tell ya. His parents home was just remodeled and it has been so much fun cooking in their new amazing kitchen. Stew actually designed the whole house. He has pretty good taste & no, I am not just bias. But Stew is actually moving back to Utah this Thursday for the rest of summer! That is, most of it anyway. I can't wait but look forward to many more summer days and nights together.

Last weekend, Stew and I were invited to a couple's shower for Jenny and Thomas. It was thrown by their neighborhood friends and ended up being so much fun. The theme was Japanese because Thomas went on his mission to Japan. There were cute origami fishes dangling from the patio, cute Japanese picnic umbrellas, and the yummiest food a shower could have. There was plenty of gifts, advice, and stories(I even got to hear a few about Stew when he was younger). The night could not have been better. Only one more week until their wedding! The countdown has begun.

showering the bride-to-be

I know you have heard this before, but you will have to excuse my leave of absence. I have been so busy lately and haven't had a chance to blog. With boyfriend visits, finals next week, and plenty of weddings, my hands have been pretty full. So one of my dear friends, Jenny Jones, is getting married next week! To add the icing to the cake, she is marrying my boyfriend's little brother. I am definitely spoiled and get to spend lots of time with this darling beauty. This last weekend I was able to attend a shower in her honor. It has been so fun to be a part of the wedding and see all their plans unfold. I could not be more excited for their new lives together. Our friend Tessa Barton threw the shower and it couldn't have turned out better.
