I should be better...

I figure we should be better at blogging. So, I'm going to try to write at least one new blog a week.
Well Sam and I have been married for a little over 5 months now- and how time has flown by! Life just seems to be going along seamlessly and ever so happily. We love each other; what more could you ask for?
Over the past 5 months we have had numerous adventures. One in particular was going to my cousin Shane's beautiful wedding in Phoenix, AZ. It was a long 10 hour drive, but Sam and I had so much fun! We stayed at Sam's aunt and uncle's house in Tempe. A day before the wedding we had the opportunity to attend a session at the Mesa temple. It was a beautiful session. It was the third time I've been to the temple and it was amazing! After the temple session we went to treat ourselves to some Jack In The Box tacos and oreo shakes. Well, they didn't have any tacos! How can you call yourselves Jack In The Box and not have any tacos! Needless to say, we were very disappointed and confused.
On the Sunday before Thanksgiving we went to my cousin's wedding. It was an outdoor wedding that took place in a beautiful turquoise tent. As my cousin is a Sikh, his wedding was performed in a traditional fashion. We wore head coverings and threw flowers at the end. At the reception we heard traditional Indian music from sitars and drums and even some Bollywood music. The meals were all vegetarian (I read the menu out loud and mistook beef for beets. The other Sikhs were not happy when I hinted at a trace of meat in their food. It was embarrassing and funny!) It was fun to spend time with so much of my family and celebrate with my cousin. It was also a great cultural experience that we will never forget.
In the next up coming weeks Sam and I are planning to go to the Draper Temple open house, Walking with Dinosaurs, the Sundance Film Festival and a Jazz game for Sam's birthday. Hopefully I'll remember to report! Aloha!
