I can feel summer trying to creep in...

Summer is so close I can feel it.

It was 67 degrees outside today! It's pretty sad that that feels warm to me. Even Bryant said he can't wait for 90 degree weather.

Me either...

So today I had the morning and afternoon off so we decided to sleep in. Then Bryant suggested that we try a new pizza place my parents recommended.

And we all know how much I love pizza!

This is Pizzeria 712 in Orem, Utah.

I'm in love with the look of this place!


They even had Mexican Coke! Yum!
Bread and Hummus (no worries, there was a lot more bread, we just ate it too fast!)

Our pizza had house pulled mozzarella cheese, house made sausage, carmelized onions, and tomato sauce. It was supposed to have fennel on it but I'm not really a fan of fennel. It kind of tastes like licorice to me.

It was so good!

This picture cracks me up. It makes it look like I'm savoring the pizza (well, I kind of am) but Bryant got the picture just as I was blinking. (Also, I was definitely in a pizza mood, notice my kaleidoscope pizzeria shirt? Groovy huh?)

For desert, we got and amano chocolate tart (amano chocolate is a local chocolate made here in Utah) with creme anglaise and a pistachio brittle on the top. Yummy! It was so good we ate it up before I remembered to take a picture.

We both LOVED it and are definitely going back!


After we were done eating, we went to the store to buy me a new pair of sunglasses, I put mine on today and they had a big old scratch on them. We also bought Ace a new leash. The stinker chew through 2 of them this week!

We hooked him up outside so he could roam around and not go anywhere. 5 minutes later, we hear a wimper at the door and there stands ace with half a leash still attached.

Then my brother wanted to take him up to the foothills and he hooked him up so he wouldn't jump in the fire, and within minutes he had chewed through it too!

But we still love him and took him to a field to get his wiggles out this afternoon.

Rainy California

So when you think of California, most people think LA, San Francisco or San Diego, Blue skies, beaches and warm weather. Northern California, however is very different. It is still VERY beautiful. I grew up camping and hiking in the mountains of Utah so I love places like this. Unfortunately, it has been pouring rain for over 24 hours Non-Stop! Bryant was determined to take me out and show me the town. The first time we came here was last November and it was super cold and we spent a lot of time with his family. The second time we were out here, it was for our wedding reception so we were very busy with that and didn't see much of the town, so this time, Bryant was going to take me out and about. So we layered up and headed out!

We first drove up to lake Syskiyou (I hope I spelled that right). It was gorgeous! It was a beautiful lake and we drove up fpllowing the river that fed into it. But there were rocks sliding into the road from all the rain so we headed back before we could make it very far.

Next we drove around the main part of town and showed me all the shops. We didn't go out and explore because of all the rain and it was really cold. We then decided to go to a pizza place called Say Cheese where they have these cool little pizza sticks. You basically choose what you want on a pizza, then they put in on some dough and roll it up and back it. Really yummy!

Next, I wasn't feeling very good so I made Bryant take me to the grocery store where he used to work in High School and buy me some crackers. They had some pumpkins outside so I thought it would be fun to take some home and carve them!

Bryant hard at work!
This is my pumpkin. I like this picture because it looks like a candle is in it. There isn't one but the light from the window made it look really cool.Bryant's pumpkin lost a fang, but still looks really scary! :)

I'm hoping the weather lets up because I really want to go to Oregon tomorrow. I've never been and we are so close to it so I figured, why not? Plus, I have heard there is an amazing pizza place there and i'm willing to drive to a different state for good food.
