A 'Mini-Moon' to Remember
San Francisco was marvelous!
10 things I loved about San Fran:
1. H&M! (Was in there every day...)
2. The endless seafood at Fisherman's Warf
3. Ghirardelli Square- the hot fudge chocolate sundae was to die for (I wanted one every day...)
4. The large supply of Salt Water Taffy. Which didn't go over so well with our stomachs after eating it non-stop.
5. Lombard Street, very strange...
6. Riding Bikes over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. The most romantic part of the trip. The scenery was breathtaking and it was so nice to get out of the city. Except for the bum who had a dog that looked dead. (homeless people should not be allowed to have pets. It's animal cruelty!)
7. Alcatraz - Rob was very intrigued...
8. The Handlery Hotel, what a darling, historic "feel"!
9. Dinner at Fino's in downtown San Fran - the italian food, cheesecake and wine was SOOO good.
10. Holding hands everywhere, especially on the trolley and F train. We were such tourists.
But most of all, I had fun being with my husband. The man I love. The man I would do anything for. He is so fun to travel with and although he didn't have enough energy to grab drinks at The Mark our last night, I still love him and valued our time together and late-night pizza cravings.

Easter Sweets
I thought to share a recipe with you that I made for Easter. It was delicious and very light.
Fruit Pizza
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® Create 'n Bake® refrigerated sugar cookies
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup fresh or canned peach slices, drained, cut into thinner slices
1 cup halved or quartered fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup apple jelly
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-inch pizza pan or spray with cooking spray. In pan, break up cookie dough; press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust.
2. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3. In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese.
4. Stir jelly until smooth; spoon or brush over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Cut into wedges or squares. Store in refrigerator.
It was definitely a popular dish with our families. YUMMY!
With love,
Cheryl & Rob Johannes
He has Risen... what a glorious day!

First, I would like to say that our wedding was SO AMAZING! Everything was perfect! The weather was gorgeous, the place was perfect, the food & cake was delicious, the music & dancing was non-stop, the friends and family who came made it extremely memorable and more than anything, it marked the beginning of our life together! This was the most monumental day for Rob and I. His face when I came down the aisle was unforgettable. Our love for each other really shined that day and I think everyone around us could see it in our faces, in our eyes, in our smiles and in our touch. It was BY FAR, the best wedding we’ve ever been too! I will be posting some pictures VERY soon!
We would like to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, to our parents. Who through it all made this special day happen.
Teri and Paul – we couldn’t have asked for a better rehearsal dinner. It was more than I ever imagined. It was perfect. The tulips, the food, the cake, the décor, the atmosphere...all of it! Thank you for putting together such a wonderful night. Having our families together meant so much to us. It is a night we’ll never forget. It was great catching up with our families and relaxing before our big day. And thank you, Teri, for being our photographer. I can’t wait to see the final images! Your wedding gift was very much appreciated, too. Thank you both for being so giving, loving and compassionate. We love you.
Randy – without your help, this wedding couldn’t have taken place. Thank you for making our day happen and for being there for us always. You’re such a great man. I’m honored that you call me your daughter. We are both so happy to have you in our lives and thank you for supporting our love. And thank you for all the kind words you shared. We love you Randy. Thanks, too for helping with the rehearsal dinner.
Tina and Pat – thank you for your loving support and for making our day happen. We appreciate all that you’ve done for us and for always wanting to be a part of our daily lives. We know you are always there for us, so thank you for lending ‘helping’ hands, even if we don't ask. We hope to make many more memories with you - camping, going to Cali, sitting by the fire, watching movies, hanging by the pool... I love you mom & dad and cherish every minute I spend with you. ♥ Cheryl
To all our friends and family, we are so thankful to be connected to you! You have filled our lives with so much JOY! We are so lucky to have such awesome friends and family who have been there for us all through the years. We look forward to making more memories with you!
And above all, we thank God for all that he has graced us with. For bringing us to each other 6 ½ years ago. For bringing our families together and watching over them. We trust that you will lead our marriage, be at the center of it and bring even more happiness to our lives in the years to come. We pray to live through your word every day and will continue to never let our love fail.
Here are some action shots from our Rehearsal Dinner:
More to come...

Last Night Out as a Single Lady!
We started the night out at Bada Boom Pasta Room in old town Scottsdale, then it was off to Dos Gringos and Devil's Martini. We had so much fun! There was lots of pasta, body shots (off my bridesmaids, he.he.), dancing, sexy gifts and a delicious penis cake to end the night at Hotel Indigo...
Me with my bridesmaids: Heather, Sarah, Kim, Heather and Pam
All the girls out!
My sister is such a sweetheart, she surprised me with a cake at dinner to go along with our "corset" theme. It was delicious!
I had a great night girls! I love you!
