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!

New Title

The other day I realized that I needed to change the title of my blog. Now I realize that it’s still a couple weeks away before the wedding and so it’s not officially "Our Life", but everyone else seems to be calling our blog "Adam & Abbey" on their blogs so I figured what the heck! It’s just a technicality right? Besides, Adam has already become a big part of my blog entries so it might as well be dedicated to us and not just me. I don't know if I am quite ready to give him edit rights yet though - that could be scary. Plus he already gets mad at me for posting about him so I would be afraid he would erase all the wonderful things I say about him. (He thinks I am ruining his reputation). In fact he made me promise I wouldn't post pictures or too much detail about what he did for me for Valentine’s Day (yeah, he threatened to not give me my 'gift'). So I’ll just say it was a great day and Adam did a good job being creative!

Maybe someday I'll let him contribute more........

FIRST FLOWERS!!

So for weeks I've been teasing Adam about the fact that we're getting married and he's never given me flowers -at first he claimed that it was because I had said I didn't like flowers. Well, I DEFINATELY do not remember saying that! Well with Valentine’s Day approaching, I started telling him things like don't buy me Roses on Valentine’s Day because they are so expensive. My aunt, who has worked in a floral shop even gave him advice. So imagine my surprise when Adam came to pick me up on Friday - a week before Valentine’s Day - with a beautiful bouquet of yellow roses!!! I was so excited I almost started to cry - accompanying the flowers he gave me the sweetest love letter too and that really made me almost cry and I had to squeeze his hand real hard to keep the tears from flowing ( I mean I didn't want to ruin my mascara!). What a lucky girl am I!

Du du du looking at my back door

So I live in Boise right? Well for those of you reading this who aren't in Boise, let me just tell you that I grew up in the Treasure Valley and I've spent the last 4 years in Boise, but never never do I remember seeing this much snow here!!! Now I also spent 4 years in Logan so I know what winter is all about (I mean how many people get a snow day at college? Yeah, it happened), but this is just not normal for Boise. And if it does snow in Boise it doesn't stick around. Not this year, I don't even remember the last time I didn't see snow somewhere on the ground! This picture is what I woke up this morning, just like the many others with new snow in the last month or so. Crazy.
