Wedding Bells

Our wedding was a FREEZING, beautiful January day. We both wish we would have just risked the backyard wedding and waited 6 months for nicer weather, but what can you do. We clearly didn't have the patience, and that same lack of patience was displayed in the way things played out throughout our wedding day!

It was a wonderful day, starting with an amazing sealing performed by President Zwick. After the sealing we took a lot of pictures outside the temple, then left for a quick break at our hotel before the wedding reception. The wedding reception was at the Wells Fargo building. We chose that location due to the massive amount of people that our parents know. There was not another place that would have been big enough. It was an awesome night, and it was fun to see so many wonderful people who came to support us.

The following day we took off on our honeymoon to the North Shore on Oahu. We had a wonderful time, but did not take any pictures!!!! We are horrible! Big regret in our lives. But, we had a great time with a lot of exciting adventures.

Making the BIG decision (2007)

Jeff and I actually decided we wanted to get married at our beloved annual Ski Sale trip in Sun Valley, Idaho. It seemed Jeff and I had both gotten our answer that we were ready to tie the knot, so we went ahead and confirmed our feelings about it with one another. But, we didn't make things official until about a month later in Jeff's second home, Rio.

We were in Brazil for Thanksgiving with Jeff's family, and one of the days Brandon, Jeff and I took a trip up to Sugar Loaf, in Rio, to see the view. The day had gotten pretty packed and the family was rushing to make sure that we were able to go, so I could see the view from Sugar Loaf. We rode a tram that took us to the top and started wandering around. Jeff managed to find a semi excluded spot and got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. I was totally oblivious to the situation and had no clue that was the plan in going up there. It was awesome! I could not have chosen a better place to be proposed to!

The best part of the whole experience was our wonderful photographer. The family had sent Brandon along to take pictures of the event. It was great to have him along and it was great to get pics.

The blog begins!

Both Jeff and I are new to the blogging thing, but we are excited to get started. We have decided to use this as our blog/journal, so we can start to document everything that is going on in our lives (because we are pretty bad at keep our own journals).

So, I am actually going to back track, and start at the beginning of our adventure together. Well, I wont go that far back, because Jeff and I actually started dating in 2001, and a lot has happened in those 8 years. I am just going to begin with our engagement/wedding and go from there.
