a visit from the sparks gals

-
The weekend after Zach's Duke visit, his older sister Emily and her girls came down to Provo for a short visit.

It is always so fun to be able to see our big sis and our sweet nieces! We had a great couple of days playing and enjoying ourselves. It was the perfect little break for me (school is no joke) in the perfect time since January + February feel like the longest months that just never seem to end.

We played, shopped, enjoyed In-N-Out, pizza, swimming, puppies, movies and each other's company. Here are some of the pics I got from that weekend, enjoy :)


 One fun night we got to go to the Puppy Barn in American Fork and it was so fun! Who doesn't love a good puppy cuddle?!



 Fun at the Bean Museum lookin' at all the animals.

 Our lip gloss was poppin'!

The summer of 2012 was my very first semester (actually term) here at the beautiful Brigham Young University. I was so very excited to be here and all my expectations were exceeded. Living on my own?

Two of the guys putting it on wanted to run to the creamery to grab some snacks and asked Madie and I if we wanted to go so we did! I didn't get to know her too well on that little walk but I did get to hear her melodious, contagious laugh a...

Before I met Zach, I had never tried Indian food. How dull my life was before him, for more reasons than one. But, MAN, Indian food is some of the most flavorful, vibrant food I have ever had! The first time I tried Indian food was at the local hot spot Bombay House (which is a favorite of ours) and it was on the night Zachary and I got engaged, over a year ago now. You can read more about that spectacular night here ! Basically, Z + I are major lovers of Indian cuisine and enjoy the chance to go out + eat when we get the chance. Zach has been wanting to make some of our own Chicken Tikka Masala for quite some time now and tonight we found time to do it! It was such a fun date night cooking and enjoying this meal together! If you are looking for a pretty easy, SUPER yummy Chicken Tikka Masala recipe... This one is for you! We referred to one of our favorite cookbooks, Favorite Family Recipes, that Zach's mom uses often and we have come to love. Here is their website and th...
