Pumpkin Madness!

The Big Move!

Steve moved half his bridge last night. He has been working on building a new bridge (overpass) in Salt Lake City for the last year. The current preferred method is to build the bridge off to the side of the freeway and then move it into place once it is complete. This means the freeway only needs to be closed for a few hours instead of months. They will move the second half next weekend.

Steve got "front row seats" for Kelly (his sister) and I to go watch them move the bridge. Below are time laps videos of a portion of the move. These 24 second videos are actually 20 minutes of movement. It was pretty amazing. The video is a little dark so you have to watch closely.

the scary and the beautiful...

Our hallway decorated for Halloween.

This is a cool photo I took the other day.

Celebration!

Steve has had to work every weekend for the past 5 or 6 weeks so when he didn't have to work on our anniversary weekend we took full advantage of a whole weekend together to celebrate. Steve proposed at the top of Mineral Basin at the Snowbird ski resort so we decided to stay the night at the Snowbird Lodge. Unfortunately the tram up to Mineral Basin was closed so we couldn't go up, but we had a great time at the lodge anyway.

Then we went on a leaf finding mission. I thought for sure we had missed some of the best color this year but we found some great color in the lower parts of Little Cottonwood Canyon and American Fork Canyon. It was amazing and just what we were looking for.

Neither of us had been to the Timpanogos Caves so we decided to check them out. There is a little bit of a hike to get to them but once you get there, they are pretty cool.

And then on Sunday we defrosted the top layer of our wedding cake and dug in while watching the photo video Steve's Dad made for our wedding. For year old cake it was actually....not great. Oh well, at least we can say we did it.

New Music

Have you seen this? Who knew Scarlett Johansson could sing....and I like it!

Our 1st Anniversary!

On Sunday Steve and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary! That's crazy! I cannot believe we have been married for a year already....long enough to have an anniversary! People have told us that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Our first year has been a breeze and so much fun so if this is the hardest year...I can't wait for next year. I love you Steve!
