Something Blue

I do like going to the wedding itself, despite what my previous post would imply. Yay for two people who have found each other and are on the door step to an eternity with one another! Plus wedding cake... mmm cake! This is Camaron, doesn't she look gorgeous?


After the wedding, Jen(my sister) and I went to temple square. Here are some pictures from that. What a fun night!

One Of Two

Wow its been forever since I have done a post. And now I have two! Woot!
So, my name is Kara, and I hate buying wedding presents! I hate setting yourself up with a budget your finances would gladly accept. I hate thinking I am putting a "price tag" on my relationship with someone. I hate going to the store and getting the registry. The registry itself is fine, I'm glad to choose something the couple chose themselves, they surely won't hate my gift! And then I won't be one of THOSE people that give you 1 0f 6 toasters/blenders/waffle makers. So then you have the registry, time to set a plan of attack! What shall I get that falls within that pre set budget? So than you choose a few items to go take a look at... all of which look pathetically sad. Just because the picture frame is all sorts of fancy, and its one of those things that someone else should buy you. Fancy or not, it still looks all sorts of sad. So now its back to square one, what if I combine a few of the smaller items? I can do a theme, wrap it up all nice, that won't be so bad! Then, purchase in hand, you head up to the register. Yup, you just doubled your budget, lady! Alas, its not worth the fight, so you just give the cashier your card. Shopping complete!
Am I the only member of the "I hate wedding present shopping" support group?

Wyoming is the new New York.. and other crazy adventures.

Sunday morning I left my house, on my way to Casper, WY.. or so I thought! Six hours lately I discovered I was in fact in New York. That's what my phone told me. I listen to everything my phone tells me (Just to clarify, my phone was not actually talking to me). So for those of you that have not been to "New York", my travel pictures are on the next post down (as they were being divas and had to be in a post of their own)! You'll get the full affect if you sit in front of your computer for the next 6 hours and watch them over and over and over again. I hope you enjoy!

I had the great joy of going to Wyoming with Nicolyn, the store manager of our Layton location. She is a hoot!! I'd like to share with you now my favorite "Nicolyn-isms".

* Walking into a gas station in Montana; Nicolyn: "K, you cannot judge me for the question I am about to ask you." Clerk nods his head looking a little dazed and confused. Nicolyn: "What state am I in?" Clerk: "Um.. insanity?" Nicolyn: "No, like what state?" Clerk: "You're in Montana." Nicolyn: "Oh darn! I was hoping I was in Wyoming."
* After struggling for half an hour trying to get a room at the hotel we had a reservation for, we get up to the second floor and our "room number" does not exist. Nicolyn proclaims "He booked us outside! Idiot!"
* Being her tour guide in Wyoming; Kara: "And on your left there is Independence Rock!" Nicolyn: "Sweet!! I've heard of that! Now I can say I've seen it!"
* And one that is not part of this Wyoming trip, but still my favorite.. "Normally I'd say 'piss off' but I don't want to be smote!"
