Yes we had a 6 mo Wedding Anniversary..Don't Hate.

Hello Again! We had a 6 mo wedding Aniversary. . Yes I know you may think it's weird, but Steve and I needed some time off to ourselves. We needed to celebrate this time because we won't ever celebrate 6 mo. again. So if you think we're weird, whatev! We had a picnic full of food, love and fun. We had a little red Basket and a blankie. We took sandwiches and Guava Juice (Our Favorite Jugo) and jello and goodies. We kissed and danced to ten seconds to a song because my laptop died. Then we took some crazy pics. It was a great day and the rest of the day I spent it with Steve. At night we went to Carabba's Italian Grill and were a little disappointed for a few reasons I won't mention. It's our favorite restaurant still, don't worry. We had a blast hanging out together. I laughed so hard I cried. Steve is the best husband. He's funny and silly. That was our wonderful day. Oh ya we also exchanged gifts. I got a bath & body works gift set from Steve and I got him a tie and black socks so he doesn't pull a Michael Jackson again at work or church. We figured we needed to save money for a real present in November of 08 (Our 1 yr Anniv.) Jk..but really we do.

The latest Buzz

So this year I got Steve involved into American Idol. Secretly he hates Paula Abdul with a passion. He says she says the dumbest comments. I laugh because he gets so worked up about it. Being from Utah he wants D. Archuleta to win. I too am a fan. He's got talent, but David cook is good too. Either way, we will be hearing plenty of music on the radio from both. And Steve said we'd buy Arch's Cd. Well D.C. Won and we were sad that D. A. didn't win but it's not like his career ends here. We know he will still make millions. Good luck to both.

The Aftermath and our Honeymoon

Our honeymoon was so amazing. After our wedding we went to the Anniversary Inn and stayed the night at the rose garden. It was fun and we had food that the N.H. house gave us. We ate and then the rest is history. The next few days were filled with fun and craziness from my family. We spent Thanksgiving with Steve's family but we only ate pies because most of his family had to go to their in-laws. When we went over to my aunt's for Thanksgiving dinner it was crazy. We had our cousins and uncles and aunts there. It was so fun! Steve was like I don't understand what anyone is saying. I told him I could translate in French. He just glared and said, "English please." Ok so the weirdest thing happened. Just because we are from Guatemala, it doesn't make a difference, we always have turkey in the U.S. I have never had a Thanksgiving without turkey. My parents always have it. Guess what? The year Steve is with us, the women decide to make steak. I was so upset and not at the fact that Steve was there. I wanted and had been craving Turkey. AHHHH! Well we had steak and my mom whispered in my ear that she was going to cook turkey Sunday and that it was my aunt's idea. Well, we had steak and it was good, but I wanted my turkey. After eating, we had a talent show and I sang and my family sang and danced, played guitar, my 60 yr old aunt and uncle danced to the twist. Then we played charades and everyone was talking and Steve was like I'm the only one here who isn't trilingual or bilingual so I translated for Steve and soon he started laughing too. That Saturday we left for the island of kauai, Hawaii. It was a great adventure. We rented a car for the whole week. We stayed at a timeshare 5 star hotel. It was pretty neat and a new experience for me and Steve. We had a lady plan our stay there for the 7 days we were going to be there. One day it was a boat ride, the next a 5 hour tour, the next hiking, scuba diving..etc.. Well we were so disappointed because the last day it rained so much that they didn't let us go scuba diving. At least we got scuba lessons. We went swimming almost everyday and we did so much I don't even remember. We had to turn down some activities because everyday it seemed we were booked with things to do. We needed time to go to the beach and relax, so on the 29th of November we relaxed. It was my birthday that day. I was happy and we ate out and went to a really nice restaurant. Steve was sad because his GPS didn't arrive in time for us to take to Hawaii. It would've been useful. I video recorded almost everything we did in Hawaii. Taking a camera was a good idea. What awesomeness! Sorry if I mispell anything. We left Kauai with great memories and funny stories we can tell our children. One more thing, we saw several kitties during our stay there in the most random places. Steve and I still laugh about that. After Hawaii, we stayed one day in San Francisco and basically just went sightseeing, we'll have to go back too, I really like San Fran. This was our little trip, hopefully we can go back soon. Next stop Europe...

Our Wedding

Our wedding was really great! It took place on November 20, 2007. It was filled with tears, laughter, happiness, friends, family and most of all a new husband. I was so happy that day and everything was going by so quickly but wonderfully. The experience I had at my wedding ceremony in the Temple was one I would never forget. I felt something so amazing and sharing it with Steve was beyond my dreams. It was so special. I laughed at the last minute details of my wedding. To begin, my hair didn't turn out how it was supposed to be, my dad forgot his tuxedo after the wedding ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple, but I think someone brought it when they arrived later. My mom didn't bring her dress and I was upset, but not enough I just quickly brushed those things off. Second, the exit we were supposed to come out of was closed, so as we came out of the Temple, the photographer, friends and family were waiting for us, but we came out behind them. So in the pictures, it shows that he captured the first moments of us together as husband and wife exiting the temple, but now you know the real story. Anyway ,we had a luncheon at the Joseph S. Memorial building and shared laughs, tears and yummy food. I thank those who were able to be there and share words of kindness to me and Steve. On to the reception.... We had our reception at the North Hampton house in American Fork. Everything did not go perfect with that reception center, but I didn't care it was my day to be happy with Steve and nothing could change that. I appreciated everything that my Mother and Father did. I really appreciated Steve's family for helping me out with my flowers and taking my cake home and so many other things they are sooooo awesome and special. I was happy that our families were there to share that day with me. Thanks to my friends and anyone who came to our wedding. What a lovely day. Everyone danced, dined and seemed to have a lovely time. I was glad to have DJ Azucita and friends that came from Arizona, cousins from Guatemala and anyone I didn't thank. Oh ya Barbara, my sister, I'm thankful to you too. My wedding experience was unforgettable and Steve and I couldn't have asked for more.

About Us

Steve Barsh grew up in Orem, UT. He loved playing street hockey and was really really good at computers ( he still is amazing). He went to Mountain View High School and then he went to UVSC. He served a great mission in the Birmingham, Alabama mission in 2002-04. When he returned he went back to school and graduated from UVSC. The rest of his life is another story, but to break it down he met (Me) Gaby in November of 2006. I Gaby, moved from Guatemala to Utah in 1991. I grew up in Mapleton and Provo. I went to Provo High School and graduated in 2003. After High school I had some adventures, I lived in Arizona and then came back to Utah. I had it rough sometimes, I broke my ankle from skateboarding in 05 and couldnt walk for like 5 months. It was a rough time. Then I had other trials, but I remained strong thanks to my Heavenly Father. After that I decided to go to UVSC in 06. I was attending the BYU 230th ward and so was Steve. We had our first date in November of 2006 at Mimi's Cafe and went to a really fun Hockey game that night. After that we were dating other people and trying to figure out what we wanted ha ha. We didn't officially begin dating until the first of March. Things got from good to great! In July of 2007 we took a trip to the Grand Canyon and San Diego. Steve proposed to me at the beautiful Carlsbad beach in California. He took my breath away. With the help of my bro and sis in law, he sneakily had roses around candles with a ring on top of a dozen roses. It was so pretty. I wasn't going to cry, but I couldn't help it. I have a pic of the beach here in case you want to see. It was really late a night (I know it's dangerous), but no one was there. It was awesome. I had a beautiful engagement ring, but most of all a great fiancee. We got married November 20, 2007. Our wedding was around the thanksgiving break and we got to spend time with family and then departed to the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. Thankfully we came home from our honeymoon and already had a house of our own to live in. I love Steve more and more everyday. He calls me baby buttercup and I am obsessed with cats so I call him babykitty. Anyway we are silly and goofy and sometimes there are little downs in our life. Mostly we stay strong in the gospel and live our lives as best as we can. Steve and I teach in the primary (sunbeams) and I have a little In-home daycare and Steve works at IBAHN for an ISP in the hospitality industry as an acct. exec. We are grateful each day for the blessings we have. We like to work together and get new things done such as new websites, businesses, investments and now we are working with stocks. Mostly Steve is the little brain behind our adventures, but I figured out I am pretty smart after all. We are both planning on finishing school. We have many goals set for us. We wrote them down and now we have to work hard. As for children, no plans yet. Maybe not for 2 more years, we'll see. I love my family, I love Steve's family and I love my Savior and Heavenly Father. (If you click on the slideshows to the right it should make the pictures bigger)
