sAn dIEgO!!!

Adam and I went to San Diego for our honeymoon. I had never been before so of course our #1 stops were Sea World and the beach! The weather was perfect everyday we were there - even warm enough that we got a little burnt at Sea World. We forgot to take our camera everywhere so unfortunately we don't have picture of everything - like the "Zonkies" in Tijuana (thats the name I gave the donkey that were spray painted to look like Zebras - they were on every street corner in Tijuana). But here are a few we captured.

Adam made us sit in the "splash zone" at EVERY show. Luckily we only got "splashed" in the dolphin show (ok, it wasn't just splashed - we were soaked!). Oh and no we did not coordinate our outfits to match the water - I didn't even realize we matched until I saw these pictures later!

We took two pictures at the beach and Adam is smiling better in the other one - but I like this one. It shows his typical I hate taking pictures face. He later blames the scowl on the Sun.

1st Easter

After celebrating a second time with a beautiful reception here in Boise, Adam and I got to celebrate our first Easter together. Since we had been so busy during the week, I didn't plan a nice dinner - but we did have a good breakfast with ham to make up for it. We didn't forget easter all together though - since it was our first one together, I made Adam a special Easter basket. Because he doesn't care for chocolate and candy the way I do, I decided to put something in he would enjoy more - golf balls! I even found this fun golf basket:

After suprising him with his basket, he kept saying oh I am sorry the Easter Bunny didn't bring you a basket. I wasn't expecting anything and didn't think getting me a basket would even cross his mind. However, after showering I headed into the kitchen to start breakfast and sitting on the counter was this cute basket: Complete of course with my favorite candy - Peanut M&M's! Nothing could be better! Seems, the Easter Bunny did remember me after all! (Thanks to a little prompting from a sister -thanks Elisa!)

The new me!

I know, I know, its been a month since I've posted - but I've been just a little preoccupied- I hope you'll all forgive me!

Well, I am now officially a Button! And in case you haven't already considered it, yes I have been told almost daily that I am indeed "cute as a Button". Luckily I lived for years being teased for my last name so I think I can handle it.

For those of you who missed it... my wedding day was PERFECT. For those of you who were there thank you so much for all your love and support! It truly was the best day of my life. None of my worst fears happened - my DRESS made it through the day in one piece with no stains, rips or tears; it didn't rain; my cake was AMAZING; the food was DELICIOUS (I did get to eat some cause they sent us with a care package); the reception was BEAUTIFUL; and we have some WONDERFUL pictures and video that captured the whole day! (you can view pictures from the temple at www.fotosbyflint.com - click on online viewing and choose Abbey and Adam. Warning - there are over 400 of them (and that doesn't include the reception) but they have been narrowed done from over 1400!) Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures from the reception soon. And of course the best part of the day was getting SEALED to my dear sweet, now husband, ADAM.

We are still planning for our reception in Boise this weekend. It's going to be great to have more of our family and friends join in celebrating with us- including many of you.... Plus, I'm not gonna lie, I can't wait to put on my dress again! One of my favorite things from my reception in Mesa was all the little girls who seriously thought I was a princess. That rocked! Watch out all you Disney princesses, your job is in jeopardy!
