Things change

Dan & Anisha in white! yay, for Anisha's baptism day! It was awesome.

Thanksgiving

We had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend! We enjoyed family visiting from Utah, good food, and the boys got plenty of guitar hero in. Here's some shots of Blake and David rockin' out, and some pictures of Chloe that David and I took. We also went out to the shooting range later in the day to try out the shotgun that my Nana gave to David. It was LOUD!

Our weekends.

For the past couple of weeks, we've been having Greg and Cori up for dinner and a movie and it's been a ton of fun! This past weekend we had Dan and Anisha up here too...the girls went for pedicures while the boys played video games, then we made dinner and played the newlywed game. Finally, couple friends!

Our Splurge

A week ago we were walking around Victoria Gardens and suddenly decided to get ourselves some things we've been wanting for a long time. That's right, David FINALLY talked me into letting him get XBox 360. Was it a good idea? Who knows. But he was pretty darn excited. I've been wanting a Canon digital rebel for a while and I noticed it was on sale at Sam's Club so we stopped by there and picked one up for us. We already have an awesome Canon point-and-shoot, but I am serious about becoming a semi-good photographer and I plan on taking classes when we move to Provo, so we decided to get the digital rebel. We've been practicing with it- it takes such clear pictures, and there's so much you can do with it. We took a ton of fun pictures with Greg, Cori, Dan and Anisha this weekend so I'll have to post those soon.

Versailles, France

One of my favorite sites was Versailles where the Royal families used to live. I knew a little bit about Marie Antoinette before we went since I had seen the Sophia Coppola version. The whole palace is amazing but the best is the gardens. They are AMAZING. The grounds in the back of the palace fade into the horizon. There's lakes, hidden courtyards, lawns and huge trees everywhere. Marie knew how to live it up, that's for sure. I guess she had a lot of time on her hands...

Paris, France

The arc de triomphe, the eiffel tower, and the louvre- the picture of david was his reaction when we got to the inside area of the louvre where the pyramids are. It's huge! There was really no way to capture any of these things in a photo, but we did the best we could! I had the best bread I've ever had in France, the best nutella filled crepes-and saw more gypsies than you can imagine.

Florence

Here's me with Dresden by the river and David and Dres chillin' in front of the Duomo. Florence was fun for us because it was the end of our trip, so we were tired, which meant that we spent most of our time hanging out with Dresden.

EUROPE

We had a BLAST in Europe- We were there from October 1st to the 18th and visited London, Paris, Venice, Rome and Florence. The picture showing the back of me is Versailles, in France where Marie Antoinette lived. The grounds are ridiculously huge and seem to fade into the horizon. In London we walked a lot and even ended up seeing Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson filming a movie near the Thames. The black and white is me at Abbey Road. We spent a lot of time at the Eiffel Tower- we went there 3 times. At night it's all lit up. The tower is easy to see because it's a lot taller than everything else around it. The top is us on our gondola ride. We traveled through the canals all over Venice and even saw Marco Polo's house. We took about 700 pictures all together so there should be more posts coming soon! For some reason our mac won't let us upload pictures so i'm posting here at work what I have saved on the computer. Hopefully we'll figure it out soon!
