City Cakes

On Wednesday I designed my wedding cake!!! Chris and I went in to City Cakes to taste some cakes and decide exactly what our cake would be like.

City Cakes makes vegan and gluten free cakes. Now I'm not vegan and I can have gluten, I went to City Cakes for the price. And the taste. Just because it's a vegan cake, doesn't mean it doesn't taste the same. Chris and I both fell in love with their lemon cake (which will be the bottom and top layer of our cake). Chris didn't even know it was vegan until after. You cannot taste a difference.

 It's delicious cake! We tried lemon, chocolate (the middle layer of our cake), red velvet, poppy seed (that had a beautiful red frosting-poppy on top that I was in love with because I considered red poppies as one of my wedding flowers), and a spice cake. All of them were delicious and it was a hard decision to pick which flavor to have.

Our wedding cake is going to be beautiful! The girl I worked with, Emily, was very friendly and sweet. She drew my dream wedding cake right in front of me. The bottom two layers look like this:

The cutest cake ever right? And then the top layer will have some black piping decorations on it. I'm so excited for my cake! I can't wait for it to be real!!

For our three layer cake it cost about $350 (and I think that's a lie, I honestly can't remember the total cost, but I do know it was a little more than $300). It was one of the cheaper places I looked at and I loved working with them. Everyone there was a delight and so friendly!

I do recommend City Cakes! I think that they are amazing and absolutely delicious!!!

Beautiful Wedding Announcements

So this Monday I designed my wedding invitations through Beautiful Wedding Announcements. So many of my friends used them for their invitations and they have a large audience. Why?

1. They are so easy to work with!

I worked with a girl who seemed close to my age. I sat next to her and told her my ideas and watched as she brought them to life on the large computer screen in front of us.  She was really easy and fun to work with and it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

2. They are very accommodating.

 I didn't have any pictures to give her at the time and she told me how simple it was to email my pictures in and they'll get that done for me. I felt like they were willing to work WITH me not to work FOR me which is a great quality in a business.

3. They have a lot of great workers

When I got to their business (which is located in their home in a large office, I also got there late because I'm horrible with directions (not because it is hard to find)) I stepped into a group of friendly people all willing and ready to help. They didn't care that I was late. They made sure I was comfortable in their home.

4. They make sure it's exactly what you want

After we finished designing my invitation she printed out a copy for me to take home. I can now look over it, make sure it's perfect, and if there is anything else I want added I just have to email them. They will then email me back another copy so I can again verify it's exactly what I want. I know that there will be no mistakes on my invitation and that it will end up exactly they way I want it to.

5. The price is right!!

They offer amazing invitations that are exactly what you want for wonderful prices! They are the cheapest invitation place I found and also some of the best quality that I found! A lot of my friends went here as well because of this simple fact: through Beautiful Wedding Announcements, you can get the invitations you want at a price that works for you.


If you are looking to get invitations for your wedding I HIGHLY suggest visiting Beautiful Wedding Announcements located Riverton, Utah. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. They will work with you every step of the way and they will give you a price that won't put you over your budget.


*Bonus: They have a wheel that you can spin to win discounts or free stuff! I won 250 free thank you cards for after my wedding!! I spun the wheel at a bridal fair but I'm pretty sure you can do it when you go in for your consultation. They want you to be happy and they will make sure you get what you deserve and want.

Mission Calls!!

So today was a really exciting day for me! My future brothers-in-law got their mission calls and I got to be there when they opened them!! I've never really had anyone close to me go on a mission (I thought it would happen with my best friend Colton, but we sort of were fighting when he left. I'm still sad about that)  so this was really exciting for me.

Devin and Kellin are twins and I've been able to really get to know them in the past year and four months that Chris and I have been dating (Chris has another brother who is currently on a mission, but I only met him once and Chris and I weren't dating at the time). I like them and I'm happy that they're family to me! :)

Devin got called to the Oaxaca, Mexico mission!!

... and Kellin got called to the Washington DC mission!!! 

I am so happy for them!! I think that both of their missions are super cool and I am so excited! I'm also very glad they don't leave till after my wedding, so they can be there when I truly become a part of their family. :) 

Congratulations Devin and Kellin! I'm so happy for you!! 

Why I Love Avatar: The Last Airbender

I'm obsessed with this show! Truly obsessed! Every night I watch Avatar. Why? Well let's see...

After writing this post I became sad. Because it's not enough. It doesn't accurately portray why I love this show. :( 

1. The BoomerAANG Squad

Team Avatar is the best! They can do anything and I love them!!

2. Appa

I want Appa. I really do. I want a pillow pet of Appa but when I looked online for one they were like $70! That's an expensive stuffed animal!! Too expensive for my liking (I'd like donations so I can buy one. Ha ha.)

3. Sokka and Katara

They're in basically every episode and they are fantastic! They are great sidekicks to the Avatar and Sokka is the greatest at comic relief. I love Sokka. He's so great and always makes me smile no matter how many times I've seen the episodes.

4. Toph

Toph is the coolest person ever!! A blind earthbender who learns who to bend metal?? Seriously how could she get any cooler? She's amazing and so powerful!

5. It's a real story

I love the fact that each episode connects. It's all like a book, a beautifully written book. It is a great story and a wonderful show. I'm in love.

6. Uncle Iroh

Uncle is the best! He makes the show fantastic! He's so smart and funny and just fantastic! Also, one of the greatest firebenders! He's just so amazing!

7. Zuko

Zuko really is a great person. On Pinterest I keep finding this things "Zuko taught me". Zuko teaches you that you can become great, you can choose a good path no matter where you're from and what your circumstances are. And for a cartoon, he's pretty attractive. :)

8. Aang

Aang is the cutest!! I just love him! He's very smart and wise and a great little 112 year old! He is incredibly powerful and he just amazes me every episode! One of my favorite moments in the The Matchmaker episode after Aang battles a volcano and wins!! Sokka says "Sometimes I forget how powerful of a bender that kid is." (or something like that) Aang is just the greatest and the greatest lead character for a cartoon show.

9. Airbending

I wish I could airbend. I think it's the coolest thing ever! Aang is just so awesomely cool and talented and I really wish I could do it too.

10. The finale.

This moment:

It doesn't get any more incredible than that.
