Catch Up

So... its been a little while. We've been busy.

The Ducks got knocked out of the playoffs by Detroit (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) in game 7, which meant that Nick had to shave his playoff beard that I agreed to let him grow (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!)The playoff beard in all its glory

Nick's best friend Jason got married a month ago, and we're renting a house together. It's fun to finally have another girl in the house. We've been having a ton of fun playing board games and all sorts of stuff... that is when they decide to emerge from their room. LOL.

Strawberry season is here! I love living in Southern California so close to the strawberry fields. There are always little stands on the side of the road selling fresh picked strawberries, so I took advantage and made a cake! It's a lemon poppy seed cake with strawberries and a white chocolate whipped cream filline. It was SOOOO good, and super easy to make. Anyone who would like the recipe just let me know.

Today was my day off and I decided to go to the temple. I also living so close to the Lord's most beautiful temple :) I did a session and the walked around the grounds and took some pictures. Here are the results. Enjoy, and then go to the temple near you and feel the Spirit.

The flowers were the most beautiful I've ever seen them. The foxgloves were amazing. I'm jealous of the brides that are getting married right now. Not only do they have the most beautiful building ever in the background, but they also have amazing flowers, and they don't even have to pay for them!!

I still haven't had the chance to play with my soft focus lens, so hopefully soon!
