Bingham Family Pictures

This was a tricky one. Taking the pictures and being in the pictures is something I wouldn't recommend :) It was slightly stressful, plus it such a huge group compared to what I have done. (Although the wedding beat that just the next day)

But, I think that they turned out so good! Everyone was such a good sport and the kids were great!

Here is Dalan and I :) I like this picture a lot! It will be one that gets printed.

This is the family picture with the new coats that Boyd and Mary got all of us for Christmas with the ranch branch on the sides, it is shown in the first picture too. The coats are so nice, I love mine. It has been so much fun to have everyone together and spend time with them.

I had to put this picture in. I'm not sure if you can see how great it is. Boyd has caught the snowball and everyone is ducking and screaming with their eyes tightly shut. A big shout out to my Aunt Sissy, my Mom and Kelsey for years of practice on every occasion, whether that be Christmas, birthdays or playing America's Next Top Model. I have not moved or flinched from the frame. And I daresay, it is a good picture of me.
Not many people get the training that I have had and I plan to pass it on.

**please please please click on the pictures that are far away to get a bigger version. ESPECIALLY, this last one**

A song to Match my Mood

The Band Perry has taken me for one of their biggest fans.

Taylor Swift is amazing and has done far more with her 20 years of life than I have.

Miranda Lambert has caught my ears again

Lady Antebellum . . . loving them too.

Little Big Town love love love.


I haven't been to a concert in so long . . . Lately I have been listening to the Band Perry Radio on Pandora and their station ROCKS! I never skip a song.

A song to match my mood . . . can I say all of the above? haha I can not decide, maybe I am indecisive, maybe my mood changes to fast for me to have time to nail down one option :) Maybe I like certain bands depending on their hair . . .because I am in a constant state of making mine match theirs. I wish these guys would do a massive concert together, I would go.

Timari & Timari

I met a Timari. She was just barely taller than me. She had good style and was very nice.

Now I can never say I haven't met someone else with my name, I met her face to face.

Which is too bad, I liked saying that.

pretty french tips

It has been busy busy lately and I have had a lot of fun. Yesterday I took pictures at Tressia and Hyrum's on their Wedding Day:) I think that it went very well and they are a sweet couple. The day before that I took the Bingham Family pictures, which turned out great! And I am scheduled for some more engagement pictures January 8th :)

These are a few preview pictures, it's been so fun to look through them.

It was a cold day, but warmer than a January wedding for sure :)
Can you believe this timing? I love that I just took pictures of a wedding and now I get to talk about my dream wedding.

Day 7 - My Dream Wedding . . . to list a few ideas

probably January 30, 2010
with a Country Vintage Style
Turquoise faded blue and light green apple green
in the Logan temple
when it's freezing cold
with all my friends and family
in a beautiful dress, with pretty french tipped nails
and a pretty hair clip iced with diamonds and pearls
to my very best friend . . .
or something like that :)

All this wedding talk makes me want to go put my dress on and get my nails done

Blogging Break

The blogging break is over, I hope that you are not disappointed that I skipped two days over Christmas. I honestly never thought about blogging during that time and since I had already put a disclaimer over those days I don't feel a bit guilty :)
Now for day 6
Pepper is my favorite pet, I assume that they wanted me to pick something that isn't typically a pet . . . lions, tigers and bears, Oh my kinda thing. But I'm sticking with her. She is such a sweet dog.

And she has grown up so so much. We got her about this time last year. So crazy. And to think at that time I was pretty skeptical about having a dog, I'm glad I am easily persuaded.

I had a great Christmas over here in Honeyville. I missed my usual traditions in Idaho with my amazing family, but it was great to have Dal and I's first Christmas together. He is the best. I can't wait for the family to come visit! I'm leaving my tree up and decorations until they get here! And we have presents . . . . so hurry hurry :)

Hope you had a great Christmas too

It's been 2 years?

What? I cannot believe that this picture was from 2 years ago . . . time flies. This was taken at a football game my first semester at Utah State. ha ha too funny.

I'll keep this post short because I need to tidy up the house, and get ready for the big day. Dalan's family has a tradition that they do on Christmas Eve, they go to dinner and then we all go bowling :) It should be a very fun time.

Merry Christmas :)

Easy easy

So. My favorite picture of my best friend. . . Easy. There are tons. We'll start here. I like the one above, which is obvious because I used it just the other day. . . sorry for a repeat.

This one is cool too. It was taken on our honeymoon.
I wasn't actually there for this picture. but it reminds me that we should go rock climbing soon.
This one is good too :) counting. counting. counting.
And lots of girls thought this was cute when he had it as his facebook page ;) I agree.
On our great wedding day.
The day Dalan proposed.

And this one too. . . there are more pictures I could use, and maybe I will share them another day. I am sure Dalan will love this post, full of pictures of him :) I haven't let him see it yet. I like it :)

Day 3

The perfect first date. I'm not sure what to do for this post because my first date days are happily over.

On our first date Dalan took me to Costa Vida, the local "zoo" and then for a scroll around the park. He obviously did something right and is therefore classified as a perfect first date :) It was a lot of fun. I remember when he called to ask me out and when he pretended that he hadn't planned our date and I wondered what he had been thinking about all day and the way we were able to talk and laugh.

Today Dalan took off work early and we went to the Logan Temple. It was so so nice. The last time we went was before we lived in Nebraska and it was very nice to be back. It reminded me of the day we were married, but not as cold :) It's been just about 11 months now . . . almost a year :) It has been such a good year. I am so grateful for Dalan and all that he does for me and I love him very very much. He is the best husband anyone could ask for, I am one very lucky girl.

Day 2

I may have cheated when I started to write this yesterday on day 1 . . . oops. I just get anxious.

For day 2 I am going to showing you something I ate today. Which is great because I just tried this amazing recipe for Burnt Sugar Almonds when we were invited to a couples Christmas Party and they turned out great. I have already taken a few pictures of my new treat and am ready to go. Dalan and I have been snacking on them way too much and now I should get on the ball and make some for various Christmas gifts. ( I know that I said I would do that yesterday . . . but I am easily distracted. I found these cute Christmas jokes, printed them out and stuck them on all of Dalan's presents with the answer inside. ) That was a lot for a parenthesis, sorry. I'm not going back.

Only 5 days til Christmas!! So exiting.

After we went grocery shopping last night and Dalan was beyond starving we decided that the fastest thing to make was Dominos. While we waited for them to make our dinner we drove around looking at Christmas lights. It was so fun and so pretty. It made it feel a little more like Christmas to the both of us.

Tell me your favorite Christmas traditions! I'd love to hear, maybe we'll even adopt yours as a new tradition for years to come :)

Merry Christmas!
