My sister is a Mrs!


Kamie and Alex officially became Mr. and Mrs. Zamora on August 10th! It was the most absolutely beautiful wedding ever. You HAVE to see the pictures! They have tons of pictures on their blog: kamieandalex.blogspot.com. Go check it out!

Congrats you two on your wonderful marriage! I wish you many years of getting on each other's nerves, and hope that your love grows more every time it happens!

Kasie and Jer's Awesome East Coast Adventure


Jer and I just returned from the very best vacation ever! After Kamie's amazing wedding, we mounted a red-eye to Portland, Maine to enjoy a week of good food, fun, and relaxation in Maine and Boston. There are sooooo many amazing pictures and stories . . . there is absolutely no way to cover them all. Hence, behold my top ten amazing moments from Kasie and Jer's Awesome East Coast Adventure:


10- Arriving in Maine . . . without our luggage!
I know it sounds horrible, but it was actually kinda fun. The whole trip there was hilarious. Our plane was delayed a ton, Kamie had to sit next to a really smelly person for 6 hours, they lost our luggage, we couldn't find our cottage on Peak's Island (some nice people had us hop in the back of their truck and took us to it), and then we finally got our luggage at 9:30 p.m. and had to drag it uphill to our cottage (about 1.5 miles!). It all just added to the memories!

9- Our cute little island cottage.
We rented a cottage on an island that was about a 20 min. ferry ride from Old Port, Maine. The cottage was absolutely adorable and idyllic! It had four bedrooms, super cute decorations, and an amazing covered porch. I feel in love at first sight!
8- Riding Bikes - for the first time!
Almost everyone on the island rides bikes to get around, so we decided to rent some bikes for our transportation, too! The only problem, I had never ridden a bike before! Needless to say, it was an interesting experience! But with Jer's and Alex's endless patience and amazing teaching skills, I was soon cruising the streets and enjoying the amazing sea breeze!


7- Yummy, yummy sea food!
I am not a sea food lover, but in Maine it is umm umm good! I especially had fun watching Kamie and Jer try to open their lobsters!
6- Kayaking in the ocean!
There is nothing better then trying to synchronize your paddles with the one you love! Plus, we played kayak tag with Kamie and Alex!
5- Exploring Old Port.
Old Port is an awesome place to walk around. There are tons of really cool stores and restaurants.



4- Sailing!
Jer and I spent enjoyed an amazing evening on a super-cool sail boat! It was definitely something that I will never forget. The crew was amazing, the views spectacular, and the mood serene. We now want our own sail boat!

3- Sightseeing in Boston
I seriously think that we were the luckiest tourists ever because we had our own personal tour guide! Kamie's hubby Alex was born and raised in Boston, so he knows all the ins and outs! He drove us around the entire city, pointing out cool buildings along the way.

2- Seeing were Alex grew up
I love being able to see the hometowns of my friends. It is so amazing seeing the areas that shaped who they are today. Alex showed us his home, school, first LDS church, and first jobs. My favorite was the diner that he used to work out. It was seriously the very very best breakfast food I have ever had - no joke. There is no where in Utah that even compares! No wonder Alex is such a good chef!


1- Kamie and Alex's Boston Reception
Alex's parents planned an amazing dinner reception to celebrate his marriage to my baby sis. The food was delicious, and the company was even better. It was the best ending to the best vacation ever!

A Sure Sign of Maturity

So, I think that everyone associated with Kamie's wedding must be losing their minds - It must be that, because I simply cannot face the alternative, that my friends and I are certifiably insane! In preparation for Kamie's amazing wedding, some of the bridesmaids ditched responsibility, husbands, and children to come together for an AMAZING sleepover. There was lots of laughs, yummy Chinese food, and chick flicks. But, most importantly, there was dancing! I seriously considered locking these videos away in a dark room to never be found again, but I was peer pressured into posting them. Prepare yourself, there is some weird stuff coming! If you have been reconsidering my friendship with you, then don't view these videos, for they will surely send you running away with terror! If you are in the mood for a good laugh, though, then I would like to present the characters:

Sunnie, Kasie, Jennifer, and the lovely Bride-to be





























































This dance was really the start of it all - the point from which our creativity blossomed. Make sure you pause my play list so you can hear the amazing sound effects. I promise, you won't want to miss these!



Next, please let me present an amazing improv number entitled "Dying Goat." Guess who is producing the amazing sound effects? Kamie!


The final dance is called "Alien Friends." Do you like our costumes?

There are actually way more videos and pictures from this amazing event, but simply not enough time to share them all. While I am pretty embarrassed by these videos, they actually make me really happy. It is sometimes hard not to feel like I have become really old and boring. All I need is a night with the girls, though, to remember that my physical age does not match my mental state! I think there is nothing better than resorting back to Jr. High every once in a while!
