Lucky #7

Lets play catch up on my blog....ready....set....GO!

In August we celebrated our 7th Anniversary. To celebrate we went to an authentic German Restaurant for dinner. They treated us like royalty. It is a fabulous family owned restaurant and they make everything from scratch and have their own butcher. The food was amazing. It is a quiet, little hole in the wall restaurant called Jagerhaus. The portions are huge and both breakfast and dinner are delicious. It is one of the top three restaurants I take my visitors too (I will reveal the other two in another blog some other time).

Then we went to San Diego for the weekend. It was my first time there and probably the furthest south I have ever been. We had an amazing time. We went to Old Town, the San Diego Zoo, Gas Lamp District, Seaport Village, the Temple, and the Mormon Battalion Museum. We also ate at this amazing sushi place called Sushi Deli #2, it was the longest line I ever waited in for sushi, but it was worth it. I think the Zoo and the Mormon Battalion Museum were my favorite. I saw animals I have never seen before and there was so much fun stuff to do. I even got a few stuffed animals to bring home. The Battalion Museum was so awesome. They took us on a historic tour and it was very entertaining and afterwards they gave us a picture to keep. Everyone should seriously stop by there if ever visiting San Diego area.

This trip was one of my favorite family trips to date. I love being married to Lars, he is my best friend. The day we married I felt our love so strong but after 7 years it is even greater and stronger. Here is to forever and always.

I created a slide show of our adventure. Enjoy!

Bee Sharps Reunion

4 days

These fine people

Will be in my home, arms, same state, just inches away from me.

I cannot wait to have them over. We are going to laugh a lot, site see, eat lots, so much I want to do with them and show them, and lose lots of sleep having fun and just hang out. Best part is the fun is going to last for more than a week.

Sorry rest of my daily routine, you are going on hold for...

The Bee Sharps Reunion Rock Band Tour!

And believe me I can use the break from my daily routine.

So thank you dear friends and band mates for coming to visit and play!!

Moving on Out

We are moving this Saturday! We love our ward but not our apartment and our complex has taken a turn or the worst so as soon as our lease expired we signed off. We have been looking for apartments since June and we had a few top picks then we saw the Empire Apartments and they just felt like home. Plus the space, price, neighborhood, management, and ward are just right. We are excited for the change. I have lots more I want to blog about from this last month, our anniversary and San Diego trip, but I need to finish packing. After we are all moved I will sit down and catch you all up on the Barlow Life! Much love to you!

Waverly Hills Adventure

A few weeks ago we went exploring in LA and Beverly Hills.

Lakeshore Entertainment Office/Studio

We went on a walk down Rodeo Dr. True story, while walking a tour van drove by and I was goofing off and started posing and a this guy took my picture and then gave me a thumbs up. It was pretty funny.

This tree was really cool looking.

We are Simpson's fans and the whole time we were there we were singing the Waverly Hills song from a recent Simpson's Episode, Waverly Hills 9-0-2-1-D'oh. Then we walked in a store and what song came on...Beverly Hills by Weezer. It was pretty epic.

Then we went to the temple. It was gorgeous.

They had this really cool tree there.

It was so much fun exploring the big city. We decided that we are going to be adventurous and explore something new in our wonderful city each month. So when YOU come to visit we will know all the hot spots to show you.

Angels

I went to my first Angel game. It was fun.

The staff found out it was my first game so they gave me a sticker.

We were far away from the game but we had a lot of fun with our ward members and with each other.

Golden Gate Park

We visited the botanical garden, it was big, beautiful, and peaceful.

And there were no bathrooms

just kidding

For the beauty of the earth!

Roses are...

While in San Francisco we did some toured some sites we have never seen before. We went to Golden Gate Park and checked out all their gardens.

Elijah explains the science behind roses. From the words of Elijah here are ROSES...
