back in the bay

We made it to our new home in the bay area. We got here on Friday and have been moving in all weekend. Minus a couple breaks for Bakesale Betty's and sushi...the food is the best here!

Mike starts his new job tomorrow, and I start in a week and a half. In the mean time I'll be busy shopping for my new business clothes and decorating our apartment.

I'll be posting pics soon of our big move and our cute apartment as soon as we get internet (and we don't have to mooch off the nearby marriott :)

boating & ben folds {july 17}

We had such a fun time boating with mike's friends. Despite the choppy water, we wakeboarded anyway. And we found the inner surfer in mike. I just love boating.

{sometimes it takes a few tries to get a good picture...or get mike to smile}

Later that evening we met up with the Adams family and went to the Ben Folds concert up at the Deer Valley resort. He performed with the Symphony and it was absolutely fabulous.

*Side note: Last time Ben came to utah {april 23 2008} mike and I were both in attendance, but failed to see eachother & rekindle our long lost love, so it only seems appropriate that we went to this concert together :)

just a reminder...

I put up some new recipes on adams family kitchen. Enjoy!

stewart falls {july 10}

The Adams family {me, mike, glen, shereen, & josh} took a beautiful hike up through provo canyon to Stewart Falls. It was a gorgeous day. It reminded me of our hike last summer through the redwoods. Mike even took a dip in the freezing cold water. What a man. I love being outdoorsy once in a while :)

stadium of fire {july 3}

To celebrate the 4th we went to the stadium of fire with Mike's family.

Some highlights:

-cringing to the MAAKOA mic yelling

-going back to the boy band days circa 1999 with the 2nd generation Osmonds

-being completely blown away by Carrie Underwood

Carrie was seriously amazing. She's one of those performers who are even better live. She started the night singing the national anthem which left us a little teary-eyed. Some favorites from the concert: Temporary Home, Jesus Take the Wheel, and of course All-American Girl.

The night was complete with the incredible fireworks show! (which became even more exciting when a firework went into the audience, yikes)

Thanks Adams family for the fun night!
