...because I'm too busy to blog regularly
 |
| We celebrated my birthday, ate Cafe Rio on the beach, and I baked a pumpkin pie for myself. I also saw a homeless man passed out in the grocery parking lot...that's LA for you! |
 |
| I participated with a couple of friends in an Activewear competition and we won! Such a great learning experience and great girls to work with! We designed the suit, sourced cotton fabrics to best suit a triathlete, made the sewig pattern and sewed the garment. |
 |
| A few of my school projects from draping and pattern drafting. Nothing too crazy, just the basics but I LOVE pattern drafting and making! My favorite. |
 |
| Matt and I went to Mormon Dodger Days. President Uchtdorf threw the first pitch. A fun evening in LA, although we were left stranded in Downtown LA after midnight since public trasnportation stopped running at midnight! There are some crazies that come out. |
 |
| We went home in May for Chelsea's wedding. Everything was beautiful. |
 |
| Later in May Matt and I celebrated our FOURTH anniversary! So crazy that it's gone by so fast. To celebrate Matt and I went to a concert at the Ford Theater to watch Kina Grannis. She does an amazing music video out of jelly belly beans! I also love her music. Matt won a night at a resort in a golf tournament so we went out of town for the weekend. I was embarrased when I realized Matt had packed his clothes and toiletries in grocery bags (on the floor to the right). Last picture, we went to the DTLA (Downtown LA) art walk and Pepsi had an exhibit with free pepsi, games and prizes. |
 |
| I went home for a week to visit my family. Following that, my cousin Summer and new nephew Griffin came to visit Cali. |
 |
| I was busy planning my first ward activity which had a great turnout! I also traveled to Phoenix for my cousin's wedding. My sister and her kids met up with me in Phoenix. Boy was it hot! |
 |
| I also had a couple of internships, one for Sue Wong and the other for an Australian company which handles a bunch of private labels, K Kollection being one I work on. I had to take Kourtney K's shirt to the cleaners...the closest I've come to meeting someone famous in LA. |
 |
| For Labor Day weekend Matt and I rode the Metrolink down to San Diego and stayed with his mission friend. The boys had fun at the beach. It was WAY too cold for me. |
 |
| The view on the train ride home. The beaches were packed! |
 |
| Matt also decided he needed to learn the ukulele. My cousin taught him a few chords which I hear for a couple of hours every night. Too cute and funny. |
 |
| In September I had the opportunity to travel to North Carolina and visit the Cotton Inc. HQ and other major manufacturers. It was a great learning experience. The photos above are of denim plants, the process from raw cotton, spinning, bleaching, dying, weaving and finishing. |
 |
When I returned Matt and I took a much needed trip home to Utah. I ate out on the porch in the mornings. I love Fall in Utah. Matt and I ran up our favorite trail in the Provo Canyon. My mom and sister-in-law picked all the grapes from the vines and made grape juice and jam. Sooo good.

The end! We've been busy and there will be more to come.
