Our Paper Anniversary

Can you believe it's been a year?
(well, a little over a year)

We celebrated with an

anniversary dinner at Margarita's:

Jake was very thoughtful and got

me all paper gifts: stickers, notepads,

and this giant poster of us.

I was not quite as thoughtful (I didn't even

know paper was a first anniversary theme!)

but managed to accidentally give the

right thing: paper coupons for a new tie

and a homemade anniversary meal:

(Hawaiian haystacks, in honor of

our honeymoon to Hawaii)

We sure had fun reminiscing about

our perfect wedding day and 

looking ahead to many more

anniversaries to come.

Escape from the humidity

Back in August, we went home to
Salt Lake City for a week.

Utah is so wonderful, and so dry!

It was nice to escape the Florida humidity.

As usual, we were pretty busy dividing time 

between the Poulter's, the Deines', friends, 

and our favorite Utah eateries (namely

Cafe Rio, Zupas, and Sub-Zero).

In the midst of such hustle and bustle, we 

sort of forgot to document our trip (oops).

But here are a few phone pictures

of some of our activities:

First things first, I finally got my tooth 

fixed by a competent and professional 

dentist (a nonentity in Orlando).

Jake couldn't resist this shot of my

movie goggles and laughing gas.

We also got to meet two new nephews!

Sweet baby Todd (pictured), and baby 

Miles (not pictured, but equally adorable).

Jake spent a lot of his time helping

his mom clean out his childhood home.

While I hung out with friends...

(Lisa and Hannah)

...and got pedicures.

(Just kidding, I promise I helped

out at the house too!)

We went to an awesome Bees

game for Deines Family Fun Night:

And held Poulter Family Fun Day at the

Kearns Oquirrh Park Pools, followed by

In-N-Out Burgers and Five Guys Fries.

(Holding that cute baby Todd again)

We enjoyed quality time with Jake's brothers:

...and my brothers:

Aren't their matching ties cute?

Don't be fooled.

Dashing gentlemen by day,

but raucous wrestlers by night:

We also managed to say hello

to our friends the Gravers:

And spend time with many of Jake's friends

at Seth and Penelope's wedding:

Thanks for such a great time everyone,

and we'll see you all in December!
