Island Park

Heath and I went and stayed in Island Park for a couple of nights with my brother Tom and his cute family. They found this awesome cabin on KSL and it was HUGE! It came equipped with a hot tub, fuz(k totally can't spell that one) ball table, and big screen tv. It was SO much fun. We went into Yellowstone the first day and the second day we went rafting down the river, came home sat by the campfire then ended the night with sitting in the hot tub star gazing. On our way home we stopped at the Rexburg Idaho and Idaho Falls temples. Such a fun weekend getaway. Thanks for the invite! :)

Much needed update + Fun things!

YEs, We are still alive!! Heath and I have almost been married for two months! Doesn't that seem so weird? :) We are loving every minute of being married and its finally all sinking in. During the week we are both super busy. I leave for work at 7:10am and I don't get home till 6:30-6:45ish. Heath on the other hand has it a little nicer since his work is just down the street from us. He usually goes in at 9:30 or 11:00am and gets home at 7:15pm. I try to have dinner on the table when he gets home, we eat, do the dishes together and lately we have been playing tennis up on campus and watching an episode of 24. I'm telling you, if you've never seen 24 you have got to start watching it. I know, i'm a few years behind.. really 9 years behind since we just started the first season, but it is sooo good! Updates on the past few months. Hmmm.. I will be leaving my job at Dr. Wahlen's office in 2 weeks and going back to Bridgerland to finish my dental assisting that I started in highschool so I can get an extra point when I apply for hygiene again next year then once school starts in August I will be re-taking a few classes and just working every other Friday. Heath and I applied for grants and luckily we got some which I am so grateful for! We have been going on lots of fun little trips and doing alot of fun things like....

YELLOWSTONE. for my first time ever :)

Lagoon. we forgot our camera. :(

The Uintah's.to Heath's grandparents cabin. It was so fun! We went on bike rides and 4-wheeler rides. Camera was dead.

I'm a married chica

Wow, it has been way to long since I last posted. Don't worry now that we have the internet at our apartment I will blog alot more often. Well to fill you in Heath and I got married on May 22nd. It was the best day of my entire life thus far, i can honestly say. The day started at 5am getting hair and makeup done then off to the temple. We had to be there at 8 to take pictures, so I met heath at our apartment so he could help me zip my dress. We headed to the temple and the weather was a little iffy but it held up for the most part. It did rain, but it was still so great. From there we were sealed at 11. It was so special to see all of our family and friends gathered together in one room to share this special day with us. After it was outside in the crazy wind for pictures! Our luncheon started at 1:30 at the Coppermill. It was so fun, our video didnt work which i was so sad about. Heath and I headed to my mom's to get ready for the reception. My hair had got so wind blown that it was a mess! I just pulled it in a pony for the reception (thats why it wasnt so cute folks.) Our reception turned out so cute! Everything was exactly the way I envisioned it. It was great, our line was so long the entire night and it was so neat to see everyone that came. I loved every minute! We cut the cake, danced our first dance, threw the bouquet, and garter then headed out to our hawaiian decorated car and headed to the anniversary inn. My entire fam!!

My Mom, Brothers and sisters

This girl Sydney at the Aveda Salon in the Layton hills mall did a fantastic Job with my makeup. :) I spent most of the day running around getting ready then off to Logan me and my madre went.

Propsal Story

I am so sorry

I am stinking BUSY

Sorry I shouldn't complain because it is all worth it. I have been engaged for 2 weeks today actually and still havent posted our story. Heath and I both had the day off and he suggested that i come up and go to the shooting range with him and I agreed. We got in the car and he headed north to Richmond where we had our first date at the same shooting range. I didnt thinkg anything of it. it was freezing cold so Heath set everything up then motioned for me to come out so i did. He asked me to look through the scope to see if he was hitting the target and as i looked through the scope his target was a sign that said

WILL YOU MARRY ME? I turned around and he was down on one knee!I couldnt believe it! I screamed yes! finally!! that night we both wanted to go to temple square and he said we should wear nice church clothes, i didnt know why but i agreed. long story short he suprised me with dinner at the Roof resturant where i have wanted to go my entire life. Dinner was amazing, very very special and i couldnt stop smiling. :) during dinner he pulled out this leu, i think thats how you spell it? and he said here put this on. I asked why? He said because we are going to Maui for our honeymoon!!! YUP folks, 3 of my dreams came true all on ONE MArch 25th day! I am so grateful for Heath and cannot wait to be married to him!
