Vermont in the Fall

Garrett and I decided to take Mama & Papa Rose's advice and visit beautiful Vermont for the changing of the leaves.

We stayed at a lovely B&B (Mad River Inn). They are one of the 2 (or only) places in America where you can ride Icelandic horses. Why is that so cool? Because they have a unique gate that makes it like they are gliding. We didn't know that when we went, so we didn't take advantage of that. Next time...

It's been a strange fall (cold really fast), so it was difficult to tell when the peak would come. Fortunately, Vermont is gorgeous no matter what the leaves are doing and they were very pretty this weekend. In fact, Vermont will make me think of 4 things (well maybe 5).

1 - Covered Bridges (2-and a cute guy!)

3- Open spaces - most towns are a third of the size of Mapleton, UT (don't you love the leaves! This was taken at 9:30AM so there is still frost on the ground)

4 - Good people (this was a great farmers market in the middle of Wakesfield. I almost found a bracelet that I've been dying to have)

5- And of course....Ben & Jerry's factory! We had so much ice cream that we are on a diet. :)

October 7, 2009

It's our 2-month anniversary!

I love seeing the Manti Temple in the background. It reminds me how important the covenants are that we made to each other and how we can be together for eternity. I love you Garrett! You are stuck with me. :)

PS This does not mean that the pictures are ready, but just that Jon sent us a couple like this one.

Wedding Pictures! - Eating Cake

Not the ones from our photographer, but ones from our friends. Thank you all! Here is how much fun we had eating cake.

It was just as delicious as it was beautiful!

It's A Home!

Well, we used our wonderful gift cards and purchased a rug. Doesn't it look great with everything? Notice the coffee table - it was built by Garrett's grandfather - which works perfectly with the style.

Ireland

Garrett will have to share the stories, but I can share the pictures. Isn't it beautiful?

Irish countryside... it is really green there, emerald even...

Below, in the distance, you can see the mountain where St. Patrick first spoke with the Almighty

A typical Belfast street

Queen's University of Belfast


Next trip for Garrett is Florida. I'm so jealous since it is getting cold here!

The Wall

Garrett is in Ireland...but is Betsy?

Nope...this is Storm King's Wall. So cool!

I love that it disappears into the water, and it comes up on the other side.

Garrett wanted to walk the entire 2,278.5 ft. But we settled for a segment.

Garrett is so strong that he created a space for us to walk through...okay the break was already there. :)

Storm King Inspiration

We were so inspired by the art that we became a bit silly. Here are some of our favorite photos...

This chair is made of 1/2 dollar welded together...I felt like a queen.

Christina and I are trapped!

One of my favorite photos - go Robo!
