Now I will attempt to catch you up on the last 4 months of our lives...
Back in March the
Dodds family came to Utah for a
visit and we all went to the zoo. Brandon and Melissa
traveled from Boise and Elizabeth traveled from BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. We had a great time being all together.
Sisters!
Jenna and Aunt Andrea
Cute picture of Sarah, Melissa, and Brandon. We even got the giraffes in the background - they're pretty amazing animals.
The bears were pretty fun too, especially when they would play/fight with each other (depending on how you looked at it).
Andrea thought this penguin was so cute, she had to get a picture!
You've got to love the Elephants - their just so cool!
Jimmy is a friend of mine from college and we went to his reception. He played the bass guitar when the band
debuted with "Play that funky music" at a ward talent show.
At the reception I couldn't help noticing the table cloth was spring time green, one of Andrea's favorite colors and the same color she
happened to be wearing that day.
On April 6 we celebrated our second
anniversary. We didn't really do anything too extravagant because we're hording all our money so we can buy a house. We went out to dinner at The Mayan which features a jungle-like interior with divers that dive into a pool 30-40 feet below. Almost anyone who has even heard of the Mayan will tell you in the same breath that their food is not all that great, but the atmosphere is a must see. So we thought we'd give it a shot, and it was true, the decor inside was really cool and the food was really bad. Even the chips and salsa weren't that good. Seriously, how do you mess up chips and salsa!?!?
Yesterday we went down to Provo to visit Emily and Craig and their new baby
Hyrum.
Now you're all caught up.
Since our bad experience at The Mayan, we haven't ventured too far out of our dining comfort zone. But this weekend we decided to try eating at The Cheese Cake Factory. Above is a picture of our appetizer which was about three times bigger than we were expecting. Between that and the tasty bread basket, by the time we got our entrees we were nearly full. But it all tasted so good we ate until we were stuffed to the rafters. It was a beautiful day and we ate outdoors. We took a slice of strawberry cheesecake home with us and it was divine.
