Jess Berry Quote Of The Day!

Tonight while on Facebook a friend posted this comment on another friend's wall and I, of course, couldn't help but comment myself on the wall post...LOVE IT!

Ya know what sucks? When your team sucks. Cause when your team sucks... you suck.

A Relaxing Saturday Catching Up With BW!

Saturday while in Utah was spent relaxing. SEC and I met my life-long friend, BW, and his wife, JW, for lunch. You may remember him by this story from our childhood. We met at 12:30 pm and then proceed to chat for the next 5.5 hours. It had been years since we saw one another and so there was much to talk about! Thanks to JW and SEC for humoring us as we went on and on and on!! You girls were so sweet to let us take up your whole afternoon with memories and strong opinions from both parties.

BW and I grew up in Teton Valley together until high school at which point BW and his family moved to St. George, UT. I can't really remember a time when I didn't know BW, nor a time when I didn't consider him one of my closest friends. It was so fun to meet JW for the first time (really really like her! BW is a lucky guy!). It was great catching up, remembering childhood stories, seeing how much has changed and those few bits of our personalities that will always remain the same. BW informed me that I've changed, that's I'm not as uptight as I once was...I agree, it must be all the golfing. After all these years I am still so thankful that I've had BW as my friend. We just can't wait so long between visits again (I'm already planning their trip to CA!).

Introducing The Hammers!

Friday was a pretty perfect day! Especially witnessing these two friends tie the knot for time and all eternity. JBH and HN are quite the handsome pair. Congratulations to The Hammers! Thanks for being such good friends.
Their first photo as a married couple taken with a Driod! I know JBH loved that.
zoom in on this photo, it is my favorite
With the gorgeous bride! (she has some major heels on folks...I am not that short)

I actually failed at taking more photos of the day...I was too busy enjoying the day, the company, the food, and the decor.

Making A Thursday A New Friday!

Thursday morning Dadio, Mama Berry, Aunt T, and I hit the links for 18 warm holes in UT. I didn't have my best game, I did out drive Dadio once though. ;)

Dadio's hole in one attempt...keyword "attempt".

Following golf we went to a temple session at the Salt Lake City temple with SEC. No wonder why it took 40 years to build...a beautiful house of the Lord. After dinner we met C&JF for a wonderful dinner and lots of visiting (we closed the establishment that night). It was a great day!

Grilling Meat: Makes A Girl Giddy!

Sunday evening I spent time grilling up these fine Tri-tips. Are they not beautiful? Don't worry, there wasn't a single slice over medium! I know how to grill my meats. I am pretty sure I had a perma-grin on my face the whole evening as I soaked in the delicious smell of meat grilling. I've decided if there was a perfume scent that mimicked meat on the grill I'd wear it daily! Happy happy day folks! Thanks to Bena for entrusting me with the best job ever!

We heart CW and enjoy partying with her. :)

My Nieces Sparkle!


What Happens When You're Behind Slow Golfers...

...you snack on lots of goodies, critique the slow golfers' form (in the case of the lady Saturday she had no form), tease JLS about texting while on the course (come on JLS!), and maybe play bumper cars with the golf carts (we clearly are more mature than this but when there are slow golfers what are we to do?).

The SJ and NJ Wedding Fest


The happy couple emerging from the temple!
I met NJ (SJ's new husband) in the sealing room. Things I learned about NJ within a day of knowing him.
1. He's a ham for the camera and audience, as the photos will showcase. (love this)
2. He's pretty tender-hearted
3. He's madly in love with SJ
4. He comes from a stellar family
5. He is an excellent match for my very deserving SJ.
SJ and Mr. Ham
HC, MB, and I outside the temple (MPR was at another wedding that morning, hence explaining her absence).
With HC, the other Jess, and MB at the wedding luncheon. So great seeing the other Jess!!!
We look hot in our new RL dresses...
JP and I! Do you know that every wedding up to this point I've attended in Utah has included JP? We are 2 for 2, until next week.
Dressing in a kimono takes at least three degrees and multiple hands. So gorgeous.
Introducing the bride in her wedding robe!
Let me tell you, my tender little heart couldn't be hidden during the Father/daughter dance. SJ's opera singing, rockin' awesome sister sang Butterfly kisses as SJ and her danced...and her dad was singing the words to SJ as they danced. How tender is that? I'll tell...tender enough to make me cry.

You can believe it that SJ did her own hair and makeup...totally not surprised.

NJ and SJ teach us how everyone should cut their wedding cake, with a katana blade.
clearly they are a good match, both are complete hams (love it!)

Possibly the best shot the whole night...
TP, MB, and I resting our feet at the reception
NJ and SJ with their PA girls. We love Team J! You throw one heck of a wedding!!!

The Wedding Eve Luncheon And Schedule Debriefing

I sort of feel in love with Zupas and feel that we need one in PA.
It was great seeing the bride before the big day and it was even more thrilling to go through the well planned schedule of events for the coming wedding. SJ is a girl after my own heart! I love me a good schedule and I love even more getting to enforce said schedules (which was my awesome job on wedding day!)!
The bride and MB
MB obviously enjoyed her meal.
SJ and HC
The delicious salad that almost all of us order, named "Nuts about berries"...how fitting! And delicious!
SEC, MB, and I posing for MPR
The group, minus MPR (since she was the photographer.
