No better way..

The title says it all..There is no better way to celebrate our two month anniversary then getting our pictures back. To some two months may seem small, but it has already been an adventure. Our wedding day was a dream. We had so much fun with our friends and family. Let's just say at the end of the night my eyelashes were off and my hair was down. I can't wait to see what more we have ahead of us...

All Things Fall...

As usual Jake and I are super busy with school and work. Fortunately we got to take a break earlier this month for fall break and go to Island Park, ID. Oakley loved being at Grandma's house and going on long walks. The rest of the trip consisted of learning how to fly fish, razoring, and cooking with my mama. It was nice to have time off with my family and celebrate my Dad's birthday.

We drove from Island Park to Yellowstone. From Yellowstone to Jackson Hole back to Island Park ALL in one day...

Fall is by far our favorite season. Crisp air, the leaves changing, Football, and the Holidays just right around the corner. We have been trying to soak up all we can get. Our street has awesome old trees that turned the prettiest color of orange.

We didn't do much for Halloween, because Jake was working fire over the weekend and Halloween landed on a school night. We just had my family and Greg (Jake's BFF) over to our little condo. We watched the Jazz game and Hocus Pocus. On Halloween you have to eat chili & cornbread, eat way too much caramel corn, candy, and drink Wasatch's Pumpkin beer. It's just a must.

Hope you all had a Happy & Safe Halloween!

Soak up every last minute of Fall!

What I love..

Last week I was lucky enough to do hair on a sweet friend for her wedding. I am in the process of building my portfolio, but well on my way. I love any opportunity do hair even if that means getting up early for my bride to make her early temple time. Here is a look at Katie's hair and my current work...

I also work at a full service salon in Holladay, UT called Hair Today. If you are needing a cut, color, style, or keratin treatment call 801.272. 7032 to make an appointment. If you are interested in wedding hair or have questions about pricing feel free to email me at alexisdespain at msn dot com.

Sea Day-Day Five

 The ship plans fun activities throughout the day. We went to a photography class, and then spent the afternoon playing scrabble in our matching nerdy Alaska sweaters on our patio. We got to watch baby killer whales swim next to the ship. I was freaking out they were so damn cute!!

It was formal night so we dressed up and went to dinner and a show.

Victoria, Canada- Day Six

 We only got to explore Victoria for a few hours at sun down. I wished we had more time to look around. The architecture was completely different then the rest of the trip, but equally as beautiful.

Found this chocolate shop on Main St. in Victoria. We just had to take a picture!

Our honeymoon was something I'll never forget. If you're up for some adventure and beautiful scenery you NEED go on an Alaskan cruise. I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. It was a little cold at times but totally worth it. I miss now just thinking about it! One day we'll live there...if only in my dreams!

Skagway, AK

Skagway- Day Four

Jake's horses name was Homer and I got Sage.

 After a lot of thought and consideration Jake and I decided that Skagway was our favorite port. We road horses through the forest to where it met the ocean. The weather was the crisp fall air, the leaves were changing, and the clouds were kissing the benches of the mountains. We got to meet and talk to locals. This is when we decided we want to move here!! It was just a perfect day.

Skagway, like Juneau, was a mining town and this train made getting to the mining areas a lot easier than hiking or riding horses with all their gear.

We ate lunch and had a few local spruce tip beers that the locals recommened from this local Skagway Pub. 

After riding horses we just walked around the cute little town.

Sailing away to Victoria, Canada and we spotted this during sunset. This beautifully mysterious building was in the middle of no where.
