matt + kelly: engaged!

well, actually, matt and kelly are happily married. also, don’t call him matt. for some reason it bothers me if anyone calls him anything other than matthew wade johnson (that just would have made for a long title). and as you can clearly tell from these photos, these two are probably the most beautiful human beings ever.

matthew wade johnson is an actor. he wears suspenders (obviously) and vintage suits and sings better than josh groban. we’re just hoping he gets famous in time to guest star on parks and recreation.

kelly is also an actor (i mean, actress). she has the perfect disney princess voice, but she would rather be the princess’ side kick–like a squirrel (seriously, her goal in life is to be a squirrel. which i think is awesome).

but no acting was necessary this day. i mean, these two kids are so in love, it’s adorable.

matthew wade johnson was scouting out locations with my husband when they found this fantastic log and they thought it would be a perfect place to have a chess game. really? what kind of boys would think of that? the awesome kind.

utah’s hogle zoo.

ok, in my defense, i knew that this blog was going to get majorly neglected after spencer and i started our own blog. so if you have been missing your daily jana fix, you can find it right here.

you can also find our commentary of utah’s hogle zoo over on our couple blog as well!

he says. she says.

spencer and i started our very own blog. we are quite excited about it and we hope you’ll join us over there and tell us what you think!

our very first post is all about the proposal. which i know you all are dying to hear.

in case you are wondering, i will be using this blog strictly for my photography and art from now on… all personal stories + wedding planning details can be found on our family blog [so weird/awesome calling it that]. so make sure you bookmark it and check back often!

we are so excited for you guys to join in on this exciting adventure of ours!

postponed.

he says, she says

here’s a little sneak peek of what i’ve been working on for the past few days.
thank you again for all of your sweet congratulations! and another thank you for your encouragement to start our “family” blog. we have been throwing the idea around for a while… mostly because my fiance is the best and has always been super supportive of my blog and had mentioned that once we were engaged/married he would love to start contributing. seriously, isn’t he the best? so we’ve known for a while that we were going to have a blog that we worked on together, we were just debating whether it would be a portion of this blog or its own entity.
i just have this internal struggle with people that have 50 blogs. i just think, you haven’t updated your “lifestyle blog” or your “photography blog” in 2 months, do you really need to have a “home decor blog” now too?
anyway, after a lot of thought, we decided that we wanted it to be OUR blog, not jana’s blog to which spencer sometimes contributes. so we bought a domain name, and i have spent the last few days working with wordpress codes… trying to get everything looking like we want without wreaking too much havoc.
also, i decided to upload a few posts from this blog to our couple blog. that way we can have all of our spencer + jana posts in one place. i have to say, i am pretty dang excited with how it is all shaping up. i can’t wait to share it with you guys – look for the big reveal on monday [fingers crossed]!
ps. i decided to postpone the book club until next wednesday: april 6th. things have just been crazy around here! but that will give you an extra few days to get caught up on your reading! i may have actually just bought the book yesterday, but if i can finish it in 5 days then so can you! it’s not too late to get started!
