OUR HONEYMOON!!

For our honeymoon, we went to Mesquite, NV for 6 days. It was nice to get away from the cold and to be able to spend time with each other without any interruptions of work or wedding planning. Here are just a few of the pics from our memorable trip!!

I love waterfalls, and we saw some awesome ones in Mesquite!!

This was just a fun little gazebo--good for taking some pics...and country dancing!

You can kinda see the palm trees in the background. They lined the streets.

So cool and beautiful!!

The Oasis was one of the hotels we stayed in!!

We spent one day in Las Vegas, which is where the following pics were taken!!

Wow! Huge!

I believe this is called a Gandala. It was this big stream of water INSIDE a building and you could take a little ride in one these gandalas. Due to that long line of people, we just watched and didn't ride!

Weird looking staue thing--I liked the waterfall thing!

SEALING THE DEAL!!!!!

I married the love of my life on November 21, 2008 in the Logan Temple!!!! It was a beautiful, sunny, cold day, and everything fell right in place and the day ran smoothly!! It was the happiest day of our lives!

The Engagement

I got engaged to my best friend on August 29, 2008! We went to my brother's football game together, and then afterward, he seemed very antsy about getting me home. I thought he must have had enough of me that night;) When I walked into my apt, there was a large gift and a vase of flowers on my bed. I started opening my gift, but it took forever, because inside that large box were about 7 other boxes...all wrapped with cute notes attached to them, and stuck inside one another. Finally, in the last box, was a beautiful framed picture of the Logan Temple. I asked what this was for, and he replied, "That's where I want to marry you!" He then got down on one knee, said some cute/sweet things, and asked me to marry him. Of course, I cried tears of joy and relplied YES!!!
