Hello Lovlies,
After a year and a half of dating, Dan finally popped the question and this is how it went! Enjoy!
It all started with a girls trip to Vegas (as many great stories begin haha). A couple of my best friends and I planned quick Vegas escape for Memorial weekend. I have always wanted to stay at The Bellagio and amazingly my friends were able to hook us up! (I later found out Dan had booked the hotel for me) We had a fancy dinner planned for our first night. The weekend was going to be full of shopping, relaxation, and girl time…..or so I thought.
What actually happened was, we got to the hotel and started to get dressed up for dinner. I decided to save my favorite dress for the next night because it was going to go perfect with the red lipstick that I was going to buy, and chose to wear a more casual dress. One of my friends insisted on the first dress though. She insisted so much that she went down stairs to buy a red lipstick so I could look just the way I imagined. Now that we were all looking our best, we went downstairs to the Olive restaurant which sits on the shore of the famous Bellagio lake. The waiter took us onto the balcony and I was instantly amazed with the beautiful dancing fountains. But then I noticed that the only table available had two chairs (which was wrong because there were three of us). I instantly started looking for the waiter to fix the problem but before I could even move my two besties made me turn around and look toward the fountains again. And there he was! My most favorite person in the whole world was standing right in front of me this whole time! ( I looked right passed him the first time… the fountains were so cool though!) He told me how much he loved me and tons of other amazing things that I don’t remember because the whole time I was trying to make sure this was real life. But it was! He pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. I’ve been waiting for that question since the day I met him. He put that GORGEOUS ring on my hand and I instantly started crying (I still haven’t said a word yet cause I literally was speechless). Everyone was waiting for a yes, but Dan already knew my answer haha. I said yes of course!
Now there’s a little behind the scenes story that I wasn’t aware of till after all of this. Of course as you may have predicted, the girls trip was a ruse… everyone was misleading me the whole time. And Dan was in Vegas preparing for the night that whole day. In fact he was the one who found, bought, and gave my bff that red lipstick, that I had really wanted to go with my favorite dress.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Lovlies,
This week is the week before our 2nd anniversary; and I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite stories about Dan and me. This story is about how we met, Enjoy!
“Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.” – unknown
Like every single girl, I have had my share of jerks and heart breaks. Summer of 2011, I went through a particularly hard break-up. Of course, at the time, I was sure my world was over and instead of marital bliss, I was destined never to marry and become one of those old ladies with a bunch of dogs.
I ate my feelings (Chocolate is my favorite) and sulked at home until I got sick of it and decided to go hangout with a friend of mine. We went to a house full of people I didn’t know for a BBQ (which was good because I love meeting new people and needed a distraction.) There, I was introduced to one of my now best friends! She invited me to go on a Lake Powell trip the following week. I said no (I was a poor collage student and that was the responsible decision). But as the day of the trip got closer, she insisted over and over again. So I said yes.. (super irresponsible, but I definitely needed it).
The day before the trip and my friend was unable to get off work and would be there late. I decided to go on time without her in a car full of people I’d never met… to a trip with people I didn’t know. It’s a good thing I was being spontaneous, because the driver of my random ride was Dan.
Just me and three guys having a great time on our way to Lake Powell. Everything was great and wonderful until… the car broke down an hour before the lake! We had to get it towed.
Dan and I had hung out and chatted through out the whole crazy trip down and I really liked hanging out with him. After arriving at the boat docks that night, we found our way to the roof top lounge of a vacant house boat. We told stories and watched the bright stars that night. (So amazing how bright the stars can be!) The next morning my soon-to-be BFF arrived. The trip was one of the best I have ever been on and filled with the best people in the world.
A couple weeks later a group of us went to the Utah State Fair and on the Farris Wheel Dan kissed me for the first time.
Two years later! we took our engagement pictures with that very same Farris Wheel.
I will always be grateful for my irresponsible decision to go on that trip! But most of all I’m so happy that life brought us together… I would go through every heartache and break-up again just to meet him.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!
It’s officially Fall and I’m so excited about it!! I’m in love with all the smells and pumpkin flavored everything. (except it’s not that helpful with losing the baby weight ha ha) I can’t wait for sweater weather! Unfortunately, it’s still been pretty warm here in Utah so this t-shirt dress has been my favorite thing to wear. I’m also so excited to share with you some of my favorite baby products! Here is a little description of each product and why I love it so much.
Baby Jogger City Select: This stroller works as a single and double. It also has an attachment to add a stand for an older child to stand and ride on so it ultimately can hold three kids. (not that I am in a rush to have any more just yet! ha ha) My favorite thing about this stroller is that it can grow with my family and is super easy to set up and take apart.
Covered Goods Car Seat Cover: I’m not a huge fan of all the kid printed baby products so this simple cover was perfect for me. I also love how it has a snug fit over the car seat so it doesn’t move with wind, it keeps baby safe from strangers fingers, and it’s easy to sneak a peek at the little guy without disturbing him. It also doubles as a nursing cover so you don’t have to pack it in your diaper bag!
Kate Spade Baby Bag: This bag compliments any outfit, classy and useful.
Natursutten Pacifier: I love that its made of natural rubber and is all one peice so there are no crevices to trap bacteria. The Soothie binkies are great too!
Cotton On Baby Blanket: If you haven’t checked out this store for baby clothes and accessories you need to. They have the CUTEST things! I’m in love with everything.
Hope you enjoy these great products!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
I hope all of you are having a great time this summer! I love participating in all of the seasons activities and festivals! I don’t know what typically goes on in other states but, in Utah we have many outdoor concerts, movies, festivals, and carnivals to participate in. It’s been tough being really active in the heat because of the pregnancy but, whenever I’m feeling up to it I take advantage of as many of these activities as possible! Lady, my little partner in crime, absolutely LOVES coming along because shes probably the most social little animal I have ever met haha. And now we get to include baby A! Everything is better with babies:)
What are some of your favorite summer activities?? I’d love to hear them!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!
We are so excited to introduce our little man, Aiden Fox Swiss! The moment we became parents was the most surreal experience of our lives. It has definitely been an adjustment but we have loved having him in our little family. I loved taking these pictures and I look at them everyday… I just never want him to grow up!
I hope you enjoy them as well! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday Lovelies!
I hope you all are having a great summer! Unfortunately, it seems to be coming to an end. Well, at least that’s what all the back to school signs make it feel like. Thank goodness it’s still very hot outside so we can wear our summer dresses! I love getting things that fit me when I was pregnant and still work post pregnancy. That’s why this dress from Target is so great!
Hope you all enjoy your last bit of this amazing season! Thanks for stopping by.

Becca

Happy Wednesday!
I hope you all are having a fantastic week!! I loved sharing a little bit about myself with you last week! I hope you all enjoyed knowing that even though the pictures look nice.. it’s not necessarily reality haha. Usually I’m at home with no makeup on and in sweats or workout clothes! I love getting all fancy and dressed up but, I love my dressing down moments too. That’s why for this maternity look I wanted pure coziness.
I hope you have a wonderful summer day and thanks for stopping by!
xoxo,
Becca
