our engagements

Our engagement pictures! ... six months later. But better late than never, right? :) 

All of our wedding-related photography was shot by the wonderful and talented Kate Benson. She was a joy to work with and made it really easy for us to be ourselves in front of the camera. I highly recommend her to any bride-to-be!

And now for the photos ...

a trip to the farmer's market

Last Saturday the Farmer's Market opened at Pioneer Park in Salt Lake City. So of course we had to check it out. 

flowers and pie ... my kind of market :)

very cool exposed piano

look at the cute little boy taking orders!

you can't go to the farmer's market without tasting a thing ... or two. ;)

After our stroll in the market, we got breakfast at the Park Cafe. This is where the ReAL Salt Lake players often come for breakfast and lunch. According to their twitters. Unfortunately we missed Andy Williams and Johnny Steele by a few hours or so. The food was delicious!

Stuffed to the max, we crossed the street and sat by this beautiful pond in Liberty Park for a while. Oh how I love the water. :)

The rest of the afternoon was filled with the Euro 2012 matches. Which I was totally okay with. I may have fit a nap in there too.

And what better way to end the perfect Saturday than with chocolate fondue and fruit? Fruit makes it totally healthy, right?

I love Saturdays. :)

danny's 25th birthday

Last week we celebrated Danny's 25th birthday! I wanted it to be super special so I filled the day with a few surprises. (I love surprising people! Seriously, it's one of my biggest joys in life.)

First surprise: lunch at Shoyu Sushi House in Park City 

Danny loves sushi. And all-things-Japanese really. (Speaking of Japanese lovers, have you seen this? Hilarious!) So of course, we had to get sushi. Shoyu is a little place with only a few tables, but it was perfect for the two of us -- cozy and very yummy!

Second surprise: Scenic Lift Ride at the Park City Mountain Resort

Park City offers an hour long scenic ride on their ski lifts during the summer! (And it's only $11!) The ride was so relaxing and beautiful. And look at the views! I love our Rocky Mountains. :)

Third surprise: a surprise family party at Danny's parents' house!

I told Danny that my next surprise was a scavenger hunt and that the first clue was at his parents' house. This was so that I could get him to the house without giving the real surprise away! He was totally caught off guard when we walked in and everyone began singing "happy birthday"!

Happy birthday, my darling! You make my world go round.

All my love, 

Sarah 

summer is here!

Euros 2012 + snow cones

park city with the dukes

This past weekend we went to see Danny's sister, Jamie, play her last high school club game in Park City! Before we left, Maddie made us a huge batch of delicious french toast -- thanks, Goose! 

at the game ... 

lunch at Sammy's Bistro ...

fruit slab & chocolate cheesecake = heaven

Thanks to the Dukes for a great day in Park City!
