Abby + Laird

On 9-26-14 the most beautiful bride in the world got married. 

After 9 long months of being engaged, Abby and Laird finally became Mr. & Mrs. Swensen. 

My heart could have burst with happiness when I saw them walk out of those temple doors. 

They were truly glowing. 

I have always known I am blessed beyond belief to have Abby in my life. She has a heart of gold and is a perfect example of someone who genuinely cares about everyone. She would do anything for someone she loves. 

So, to see her finally sealed to Laird, the love of her life, was just magical. 

The whole day was dreamy. The weather was perfect, and everything from the temple, to the ring ceremony, to the reception was just wonderful. 

I loved celebrating those lovebirds, and I loved doing it with a cute date, and my very best friends (come back soon, Cathay). 

Cheers to Lairby. You are so loved.

Kacey's Dance Academy

I used to close my eyes and dream of the studio I would have one day. 

It was a big room with twinkle lights, mirrors, a ballet barre, and the cutest little dancers.

I was there. I was glowing with happiness, and I never wanted to leave.

Well, I don't have to close my eyes to see this dream anymore. 

My dance studio has become a reality. I can't believe it. 

It hasn't quite sunk in that Kacey's Dance Academy will be filled with darling dancers in just a few days. 

If you're a dancer, come dance with me. If you know any dancers, send them my way.

Let's be dancing dreamers together.

Lake Hopping 101

In August I accidentally became a self-proclaimed "lake hopper". 

I spent a wonderful weekend in Lake Powell with my nearest and dearest friends. 

We've been doing this friend trip for 5+ years, and every year seems to be better than the last.

It's 4 days of laughing, reminiscing, surfing, playing games, skiing, teasing, tubing, trick skis, dance parties, and fun. 

I look forward to it all year, and am always so sad to see it go. 

All those Powell Pals make me so happy. There's no on else I would rather be hanging onto a tube for dear life with, or racing on trick skis with, or surfing in the USA with. 

Already less than a year until we'll be back on the lake. 

The spent the following weekend in Bear Lake in with Dan and his family.

I'm ashamed to say that although I have a cabin up there I've spent almost no time at all up there.

Dan's family are Bear Lake pros so they showed me a really great time. 

We waterskied, sailed, flew kites, went on a tandem bike ride, relaxed, stargazed, and played games.

I had the best time (even in the cold water)!

I hope I get back there soon.
