I can't get this movie out of my mind.

Exceptional and a wonderful storyline, although it hurts me just to think about it all. . Best movie I've seen in a really long time.

If you haven't seen this yet, run to the video store and watch it tonight. It's unbelievable. Absolutely incomprehensible. How could this have happened in our world? Can you imagine all the lives that were lost? It goes to show how innocent children were caught up in a world of ignorance and brainwashed by their parents who hated Jews. We both cried and just the thought of it makes me sick. This movie is one of those that at the end you're just silent, there are no words to say (the only other movies that cause me to have silence at the end are The Testaments and the Joseph Smith movie at Temple Square). You just have to take it all in, breath and then have a moment of silence. Everyone must see this movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It's a definite must see!

Watch the trailer...

He's quite the chef...

 my deliciously handsome husband made dinner the other night. Chicken quesadillas, fresh guacamole, diced tomatoes, mexican rice and beans, and fresh salsa

mmmm..

Love him!

and just because..you have to get the whole picture.

Unfortunately Vaughn had to work late Tuesday night (7:30 pm) so I decided I'd surprised him with Italian night for dinner. I strung up some lantern lights in the kitchen, made two different pasta recipes, rolls and had "Bella Notte" from Disney's Lady and the Tramp playing in the background.

When he arrived, he surprised me with a pretty red rose. What a lucky girl I am!

Bear Lake

Weekend Date with my Honey.

We decided to get away last weekend so we rented a small cabin at Bear Lake and had a blast!

We explored on some off roading areas, hiked up to a beautiful glassy lake and got milkshakes that night.

We brought our portable dvd player and watched this:

Again.. you must see this movie!

Marriage Proposal ---------------> Engaged

Thought I'd post our video of the night we got engaged, it makes me re-live the warm, fuzzy love feelings all over again from that magical night!

I'm so excited!!!!

I'm so elated and just had to share the most wonderful news with everyone!

The most wonderful news: I'll be doing my first destination wedding in California next year!

The couple will fly me out there and the best part of the whole thing is it's the Bay Area California!

I'll get to show Vaughn (yes, he is coming too of course!) where I grew up and we can kiss on the docks of Pier 39 and the boardwalk at Santa Cruz and the best part of all...the beach. Oooh, I cannot wait!

Pier 39 is a collection of shops and restaurants with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the San Francisco Bay.

Santa Cruz is a small vintage beach town with carnival rides along the shore.

Abbie the Cheerleader

Abbie got to cheer at the Weber High homecoming game!

Bear Lake

We hadn't been camping all summer so we decided it was finally time to go. It was a blast with the family, we slept in a tent, had yummy food, rented a jet ski and Vaughn and I kissed on the lips! Easton (seeing us kiss often) told Vaughn: "You may kiss the bride", what a cute nephew we have!
