the weekend

on Saturday, I didn't do much all morning/afternoon. Devin had to work for a few hours, and while he was gone, I mostly just pushed every button I possibly could on my iphone. I'm still learning. Who of my friends knows everything about iphones and can answer my questions? haha! I love it. I'm basically obsessed. It makes me glad that Devin and I got our at the same time. Originally, we had planned on moving to our own plan when my contact with AT&T was up at the end of April, so I would get a new phone, and then he would just wait to get him until June when he was eligible for an upgrade. Instead, we worked it out to get them early, and not pay any huge cancelation fee! It was lucky. We also got a discount on our monthly bill because we are UCCU members, which isn't huge, but still makes a difference! Anyway, I'm glad we got them at the same time, or else I would feel like an awful wife. I am absolutely glued to that thing! But Devin is too, which makes it slightly better. He's not as bad as me, but he's had a smart phone before anyway, and I haven't. I'm like a kid at christmas, all day every day!

Once Devin got home from work, we headed to the riverwoods to take some family pictures for our good friends the Harrison's. Devin went to high school with Ben, and he and his wife have a little girl named Alice. They are in our ward, too, and we did their family photos a while back, but on Friday, we did all of Leah's family - they were so quick and easy and that little Alice was making everybody crack up! She is adorable! I love it when little, little kids have big personalities, just like Addi does! It's the cutest thing.

After that, we walked around the shops at riverwoods in hopes of finding me a new pair of sunglasses. I can't seem to keep track of sunglasses. I'm constantly losing them and breaking them. we had no luck.

after that, we headed up to kamas for dinner with brandon and amy! brandon had some really nice new york strip steaks he got for free, and wanted to grill them! brandon is an amazing chef - everything he makes is always delicious! he made the new york strip w/ spinach, caramelized onions, feta cheese and mushrooms on top, with some really good asparagus - there were also some potatoes- but i didn't eat those, haha. even better? he had mexican cokes for us! my very favorite drink ever! how did he know? we ended the night with colbert report and brownies/ice cream. it was so much fun! we hate that brandon lives Kamas - it's too far away! but it's so awesome when we get to spend time with him, let alone have him cook for us! and Amy is easily one of the coolest people i've ever met. plus the dogs were up there! i can never get enough of those dogs. i wish i could clone them, and just have my own personal copy of riley and koda. they are so great! it was an awesome night - couldn't have asked for a better saturday!

we got home pretty late, which made us pretty tired - on our drive home, there was a HUGE MOOSE in the road. huge. luckily, devin is always expecting to have stupid wilfelife run in front of the car when we drive through that canyon, so we were able to slow down in time, but MAN, those are BIG ANIMALS. i think moose are so cool, but also pretty scary. like sharks. cool, but scary.

Sunday, Devin's alarm didn't go off, and even though mine did, I rolled over to wake him up, we both fell back asleep and missed church. so we went with his parents and the Wagstaff's instead! he spent the morning editing photos, and i spent the morning making amazing breakfast!

after church with Devin's parents (who are celebrating 31 years of marriage today! i love them so much!!!) and Jason and Amanda and the babies, we dropped off some bridals, and headed home for some food. we bought one of those giant bags of potstickers from costco, and to be honest, i was definitely expecting them to taste like relatives of hot pockets. but instead, they are like a slightly less delicious version of shoots' potsticker! they are so amazing! especially for coming out of a bag in the freezer! an industrial sized bag, for that matter! yum.

we then did some TV catch up. our favorite show right now is called Awake, and it blows my mind! it's so good! we spent the rest of the night on the couch, watching miscellaneous television, and of course, running down the batteries of our new phones (seriously. we probably sound super pathetic, but they are great phones! they are definitely worth all the hype! - i'm pretty sure it's been only 48 hours, and i already don't remember what life was like before my iphone. it is such a utility! so helpful and nice. a little pricey, but worth it so far. i'm just nervous about the fact that it's GLASS. if i break it, i will cry.)

it was a perfect weekend. just the right amount of relaxing, playing and good food - the important parts! i'm ready for the week!
