San Francisco!

This post is way over due... but it was so fun to go back and reflect on all the excitement and good memories!!!

^^We may or may not have gone to Ghirardelli Square a few times for that wonderful free piece of chocolate on our different trips around town^^

Our walk down Lombard Street

We went to the Exploratorium. {Thank you Brittany for having a membership!!} It's a place PERFECT for kids and mechanical engineers. We had so much fun exploring and learning! Here are just a few of the many fun photos.

^^Brittany being an AMAZING mother--she is such a great example to EVERYONE around her!! She is the best!!^^

^^This pretty much summarizes my week in California^^

^^Brittany was about to move when we were there so we got to check out her awesome new place and help her pack! P.S. Helping others pack is REALLY fun!^^

Some more pictures from Fisherman's Wharf:

^^The Magician^^

^^The man that scared people that walked by-- it was h i l a r i o u s!!

^^The classic "bread in baskets" shop. They also make some pretty amazing animals out of the sour dough bread^^

^^When we were there they were filming a movie right out front. It's called San Andreas with the "The Rock" as the main star. Sam guessed the name before they even told us.^^

^^I love how cool everything looked. Just not quite the same as Utah^^

^^LOVE HIM!!!^^

^^This is how Spencer and Sam always walked around {every time. s e r i o u s l y.}!! They were Bestest Buddies all week.^^

We were also very blessed to get two bike rental for FREE for the whole day! :D {Thank you Elisa for working at Blazing Saddles when you did!}

^^It was all rainy and wet when we biked across the bride. Then we biked to Sausalito--which was b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!! and took the ferry back to the Pier. We had a BLAST.^^

^^We got a little sun burnt^^

^^The last day we went to the beach for a couple hours. The water was pretty cold! But we still had FUN!^^

Thank you Brittany and Bob for being such gracious hosts!!

I wish I had photos of every meal we ate!! Let me tell you-- my sister is one AMAZING chef!! Everything was SOOO delicious and gourmet!! We were definitely spoiled!!

 I am sure we will remember this trip for FOREVER. It was a PERFECT vacation for us!

We love you!!

237

You'd think that seeing the same three digit number randomly would be slim... but Sam seems to notice "237" everywhere. all the time. randomly.

So I asked Sam to start taking pictures of it-- after a short period of time, this is what he came up with:

This one was just hilarious...

Life Lately: According to my Phone

^^I finally finished a wreath!! I finished making this at the beginning of the summer but I got the supplies for it with Cami about a year ago. Haha. Now, it is in the perfect shape of an egg-- I think it will become my Easter wreath ^^

^^This home-made pizza (chicken, tomato, artichoke) turned out delicious! It's one of Sam's favorites ^^

For one of our date nights this summer we went to Mimi's Cafe. Sam had never been. We split a bread dipped and fried artichoke type thing for a few dollars and got yummy french bread and carrot & raisins bread-cake for free. Not such a bad deal :D 

The UAC asked me to be apart of the video that they are making for accessibility awareness week and their website. It was a great experience. I'll post a link to the video when it's done. 

They also came over to our house for a couple hours and filmed Sam and I doing normal "life things" for the cut-out shots. 

The UAC also asked me to be the moderator during the discussion panel during AAW-- I think they love and appreciate me-- I am graduated but they still love the person that I am and how I represent the UAC. I have had a GREAT experience working with the UAC during my time at BYU and I am so glad that is something that I still get to do.

^^ The interviewer and the camera-guy^^

^^I tried out this new recipe: Southwestern Chicken Salad. And it was DELICIOUS^^

 ^^ Sam and I went on a date to Trafalga (Thank you Pass of all Passes for making it free) ^^

^^ I surprised Sam with a dinner date up the canyon ^^

^^Oh how we LOVE tin foil dinners^^

^^ Finally made Sam some homemade bread that he had been asking for. Yum!! ^^

 ^^ This nice man came to our door asking if we wanted to buy his last Tomales of the day. These mexican foods bring Sam right back to his mission and he gets so excited. We also wanted to be just like the Spencers ;) ...and support this family's small business ^^

 We love going on bike rides.

^^Chelsea's reception was at This is the Place Monument -- we got a tour via the "Love Train". It was really cool! Sam had never been--I love doing new things with him.^^

^^ Every time our car gets dirty and needs to be cleaned, Sam's first thought is going to a car wash fundraiser. It took several months, but on Saturday we finally came across one!! Sam was so excited!^^ 

My 22nd Birthday!!

Sam spoiled me on my Birthday! I feel his love so much.

Shortly after we woke up we went to WaffleLove!! We have both been wanting to go their for LONG time-- so we finally did!! :D

Then, we went on a bike ride.

And for lunch we biked over to the El Salvador Restaurant on Center Street and had Pupusas. They were delicious!! 

After lunch, we went shopping for some things for our new apartment. {P.S. We moved}.

When we got home we had some delicious Creamies and got ready to go to Seven Peaks!! :D

It was a magical day! Thanks for treating me like a Queen! :D

I LOVE you Sam!!
