temple date night.

  one of mine and husband's new years resolutions is to attend the temple together at least once a month.  well, for january we can add a big check mark next to january on our list {little fact: i loooove making and checking off lists!}  isaac took me on friday night for a little date night, followed with some frozen yogurt.  it was just what i needed, i just love my isaac.

my husband is a funny, funny man.

isaac recently posted this video {along with a few others that are hilarious!} and i couldn't help but share it.  watch it.  and then go to his blog, he who laughs, to watch the others.  you won't regret it.

photo of the day.

back when isaac and i were dating, my bffs and i went on a cruise.  i recently stumbled upon this photo and it brought back so many fond memories.  this us us in jamaica. this day of the cruise is probably one of the craziest/most adventurous of my life.  we let a strange jamaican man drive us deep into the forest...what were we thinking?!  pretty sure he took this photo.

haha.  see more of this sketchy, fabulous cruise here. 

birthday date.

 this year isaac really spoiled me on my birthday date.  we're talking cupcakes, a trip to williams-sonoma {where he bought me a cuisinart ice cream maker!  i can't wait to use it this summer}, ice skating at gallivan plaza {where i captured the best photo of ike, see above}, and ate the most delicious meal at the copper onion.  seriously, it was amazing.  it is probably my new favorite restaurant - you must try it!  it's a little pricey, but i'm hoping we can go back for a little valentine's day action.  i'm going to save my pennies.  

i had a really really great birthday.  thank you for your kind birthday wishes!

okay, birthday week is over.  are you happy i will finally shut up about it?  i bet you are.  now i feel like i did right after christmas....what am i supposed to blog about now?!  is there anything you would like to have me feature more on my blog?  

gimme gimme gimme some ideas.

the sweetest surprise.

 let me just tell you a little about some of my sweet, sweet friends.  on saturday night we planned a little date night with 2 of our very favorite couples to eat yummy cafe rio and play games.  they completely surprise me with pink and teal balloons, sweet tooth fairy cupcakes and cakebites, and the most perfect apron from the one and only anthropologie.

can you believe it?!  all of my favorite things!  it was the best birthday surprise.

dear kat&ty and kalie&spence,

iloveyou. thankyousosomuch.

love, emma.

i still can't believe i'm 24.

 24 sounds soooo adult.  i still feel like a tween...yeah, a tween {who is obsessed with edward/jacob, loves high school musical, and wishes she could still get barbies for christmas}.  

i guess i have a career and a husband...so that's pretty adult right?  wowza.  enjoy these birthday photos taken by my dad at our traditional birthday cake and gift opening celebration.

get cookin'.

hello, another delicious recipe here.  last night i posted the recipe for my favorite teriyaki rice bowls over on a few scrumptious things and i thought you should know.  mainly because these rice bowls are awesome.  and healthy!  

also, be our friend on a few scrumptious things.  it's one of my new years resolutions to post millions of delicious recipes on the blog this year...so you don't want to miss out.  yes. i said millions.  ha! k bye.
