Next stop... Wisconsin!!

My mom and I stopped next in Wisconsin to visit Jake, Jill, and Nolan for a couple days!

We went to breakfast and ate some really yummy food.

Is that not the cutest little guy you've ever seen?! Cheesin it up!

We went to the famous fair in Wisconsin and had lots of fun eating yummy treats "on a stick." We had cheesecake, fried oreos, smoores, pork chops, etc.

I think my favorite thing was the roasted corn! So good!

Breaking Dawn came out while we were there and of course we had to get copies... my mom is beyond obsessed! She read the entire drive home from Wisconsin to Utah!

My mom came out to Jersey and stayed with us a couple days. Then we packed up my car and her and I took of on a journey back to Utah! Our first stop was our nation's capital, DC. It was a first for me so it was cool to see all the sites!

Date night at Boston's!

Have you ever eaten at Boston's Gourmet Pizza? It is so yummy! First we ordered these amazing BBQ wings- they were the best I've ever had! And then it just got better- chicken alfredo pizza! Mmmm!

We like it so much we went back 2 more times!

We added a member to our family! Although it was short lived..

While Courtland was out knocking one day, a lady said she didn't want an alarm system but did he want a kitten? Of couse I did because I got so bored by myself sometimes all day, so he brought him home! He was so much fun, very playful! I wish we could have brought him back with us to Utah but we didn't have a way to get him home! It costs like $200 to take him on the plane so we found a good home for him! Miss you Jersey! (that's what we named him)

We spent our summer in NEW JERSEY

This summer Courtland and I lived in Long Branch, New Jersey. It was a lot of fun considering we lived right on the beach! However I don't know why people rave so much about beaches. Don't get me wrong, I loved going but if I were to choose, I'd rather live by a lake and go boating everyday! Just my opinion!

One thing I didn't realize about doing summer sales with Apx is the hours Courtland had to work. He worked Mon-Fri form 11am to 10pm and Saturday 9am to 10pm. It was hard being newlyweds and all and never being able to see each other. Hopefully all his hard work will pay off! He had a great summer and was the top 1st year guy for our office. I also worked at Chilli's as a server- my favorite job! No joke, I seriously would waitress forever but hate the reputation that goes with it- fellow servers know what I'm talking about!

More photos to come of Jersey later... I forgot my camara charger so we really didn't take very many, sad! I'll find some from other people who were there too!

Bed and Breakfast- our first!

Courtland and I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Nebraska on our drive out to New Jersey (back in May).

The place was very cute and was a lot of fun. Courtland researched and surprised me with it- such a cute husband!

Leaving on our honeymoon to Viva Las Vegas...(leaving for our honeymoon, not getting married) We got married in the Bountiful Temple! :)

It took Courtland a while to take all the bobby pins out of my hair on the plane there! My head was like a 5 pounds lighter after! haha

Got to love the Vegas Strip!

We think we're funny... My idea of course- I've always been a bit too honest.

We went to David Copperfield's magic show and before the show started a lady came up to us and asked us if we wanted to be volunteers on the show! Of course we did and she gave us instructions of what we were to do. We got to go up on stage together and make sure this huge piece of steel was actually steel and had no holes.. that kind of thing. It was really funny because David Copperfield told us to check out the "backside" of the steel (unknown to me David had previously whispered into Courtland's ear to grab my butt). And he did right on stage in front of everyone! I was shocked! But it was really hilarious and the crowd seemed amused!

I realise our honeymoon was over three months ago...but I'm still catching up! So you know what's coming next...the road trip out here! One day I'll be all caught up- SOON!!
