happy birthday hubster.

we just got home from isaac's birthday celebration and i can't wait to tell you allllll about it.

best night ever.

happy birthday ike man.

2-3!

i love birthdays, even when they're not mine...

i love you isaac!

we're famous!

well, our photographer matt clayton is...

he has been featured on some popular blogs lately and our pictures are always used!

i'm so flattered they picked us, he has so many good pictures.

thanks brynne for pointing them out to me!

see our pictures here and here.

beachers.

beach cruisers + husband + hawaii = awesome.

seriously.

day 5 of our honeymoon was a relaxer. the day before we drove all over the island so we slept in, hit the beach, and rented some beach cruisers to ride around honolulu. it was sooooooo much better than walking, hawaii gave me some nasty blisters.

i was real excited about the bikes. and check out the bell. we kept dinging dinging dinging all around town and when we wanted someone to move we dinged. i would have been sooo annoyed but we kept doing it anyway.
just me.
on the beach! with beach cruisers! a real dream come true.
we biked our way over to keo's and had some yummy fish and chips.
we found this magical boardwalk and rode all around honolulu dinging at people.
did a little shopping here. spot ike in this picture and notice all the other folks. something must have been interesting...
our hotel!! the rainbow tower. so fitting.

only one more day left of the honeymoon to document!
its like leaving hawaii all over again...

we cook.

we are such cooks. cooking together is one of our favorite things. my friends know that i was a little worried about the whole "cooking" thing but guess what, its not that hard! isaac is a pro and i'm catching on pretty darn quick. of course, i stick to very basic things...but here are some of our favorites.

where the magic happens.

isaac makes tempura! it is soooooo delish and just as good as our fav happy sumo. if you want to know how to make this one we'll have to ask isaac to do a special post. i have no idea how he does it. its like magic.

we love teriyaki rice bowls. rice + marinated teriyaki chicken (mr. yoshida's from costco is the best) + steamed cabbage, broccoli and carrots + crunchy noodles = yummers.

alfredo!! this one we cheated a little by ordering alfredo sauce and breadsticks from olive garden. its a steal...you just make your own noodles and you have olive garden for like $7 big ones.

spaghetti. pretty classic and pretty delicious.

shephards pie. so quick and easy. and corn muffins. let me let you in on my latest find. if you love corn bread...you'll love the jiffy corn muffin mix. only .44 cents! we seriously eat them with everything...haha my mom thinks its weird. but its good. try it.

so those are some of our latest favs. if you have any goodies please send them my way.

2 months!

we've hit the 2 month mark! i am the happiest i have ever been.

and i love bragging about my husband on my bloggie. i don't know what i would do without isaac. school stresses me out more than anything and he takes such good care of me. i break down and cry due to stress and lack of sleep approximately once a week and he is a pro at making me feel better.

plus he cooks, cleans, and is always making me laugh.

having a husband rules.

oh hawaii.

day 4 of the honeymooner was a blast. we rented a car for one more day and drove up to scuba dive in hanauma bay. ike was such a scuba king. me on the other hand...not a scuba girl. i am so scared of fishies. i creeped around the top of the water and saw a few fishies but thats about all i could tolerate without squealing. unfortunately my digi was still dead so no pics.......

not!

my sweet hubby was making small talk with the guy in subway and found out a costco was really close! so what did he do? he drove as fast as he could and bought me a brand new digi!

hello digi.

we drove back up the shore and stopped at hanauma bay again. we swam in there!

there are so many beautiful spots up the north shore.

love birdies.
then up the shore some more. this is one of isaac's favorite pics of the trip. i'm pretty sure he would entitle this "poopy pants". i got a little grumpy and i can't remember why...
but that grump went away real quick once we got here! we loved our snow cones from the day before so much that we drove 1+ hour to get here again. it closed at 6 and we got there at approximately 5:50. it was a close call.
happy again.
we found a secret beach! isaac just turned off into one of the neighborhoods and came across a beach that all the locals use. it was our favorite beach spot.
hawaii!
one last stop at the temple. so fab.

after our road trip we went right back to our hotel, ate some hawaiian food (well, isaac did...i hate it), and crashed in bed. we were pooped.

i graduated.

4 long years after high school i graduated from college. the day was kind of a haze because i didn't sleep well the night before and my wedding was the next day. oh and the fact that i hade to start school again 2 weeks later didn't help. but i graduated!

my dad literally captured every moment. thanks dad.with the only professor i knew there. weird. but i loved her dearly so i was excited to see her.

love these guys.

and these guys. isaac's mom couldn't be there because she was helping with my wedding flowers. we missed you virlie!

my brothers even came! you know its important when they make a showing. we missed you sister.

love him the most.

especially when he creeps.

and carol! one of my very best friends in the whole wide world. amist the thousands of grads i saw this cutie outside the huntsman center. love her.

i have so much blogging to catch up on!

watch for our 4th of july festivities coming your way.
