1 Year

This is Jeff and I on the balcony of our room. You can kind of see the sweet view that we had.

I can really not believe that Jeff and I have been married a year now. It seems like yesterday we were on our way to the temple, tummies growling, and clammy hands. We reminisced a lot about our wedding day, and it was crazy how nothing yet so much has changed since. Its weird how after you are married the time flies, but in a way you kind of feel like you have been married forever. Its been the best year of my life, I will speak for myself. Its been a year full of new adventures and newly found happiness. Its like being with your best friend all the time, and who can ask for more.

Enough with all the sentimental stuff..sorry. This weekend Jeff suprised me with the romance suite at Little America in Salt Lake. The room we had was amazing. We were on the 11th floor and on the corner, so our view was awesome. It was all set up for us when we got there, with chocolates, strawberries, and ice chilled Martinelli's. Yum. Also, on the neatly set table with real silver, was also a single rose and a key embossed with our names and the date on it. It was really nice. We had a nice set up. We had a nice relaxing weekend. We spent some time at the Gateway and also at Temple Square. Returning to the scene.. I guess?? It was lots of fun and the weather was great. My mom was nice and froze our wedding cake for us. It still looked like it did the day we got married. I was a little nervous to eat it, but it ended up tasting really good... and neither one of us got sick so I guess it was allright. It was a lot of fun though. We completed our anniversary by watching Harry Potter.. Romantic, I know. We spent the rest of our weekend in Park City at the outlets. Jeff spoiled me with clothes, makeup, and shoes. I will completely admit that he spoils me. We had a great 1 year anniversary, and I look forward to many more ahead. Thanks for the great anniversary suprise Jeff, you are the best and I love you.

Bryce Canyon

Jeff took me to Bryce Canyon for the first time in May. I loved it there. This was actally the second stop in the destination. We first were in Zions, where we hiked Angels Landing. Jeff had done it before, but I hadn't. Its two and a half miles up. The first two are just normal switchbacks and hiking, but the last half mile scared the pants right off me. You basically hold on to a chain and its cliff drop offs on both sides. I still can't believe I did it, but would do it again in a heartbeat. It was so much fun. We camped over night in Zions, and ate at this place called Blondie's. If you are ever there, you have to stop. She cooks it right out of her house. Literal home cooking, but it was awesome. Then next day we headed to Bryce. This picure is of us on the Navajo trail. It was one of the most amazing places I have ever seen, and Jeff and i picked up a new favorite quote there. "it's a hell of a place to lose a cow" It was a good little weekend getaway, and now we are National Park season pass holders, so we are planning to go a few more times this summer.

Engagement Pics

Jeff and I were engaged September 9, 2007. His family had rented out my uncles cabins in Wayne County. We were headed down for the weekend, and I had no clue that Jeff was planning on proposing that weekend. He had been there with me and my family before, and we had scoped out some pretty sweet places. One of our favorite spots is called pride rock, because it looks like the rock on the Lion King. The second day we were there, Jeff randomly grabbed me to go for a four wheeler ride. He seemed kind of nervous, and before I knew it, we were flying up the dirt road. He was driving super fast, the kind of fast where your cheecks are flapping in the wind. He was acting nervous and was fast with his words. We ended up at Pride Rock that has a 360 overlook, its got a really amazing view. He was showing me this geo cache box that he and his brother had found earlier that day. As I was reading what his brother wrote in the little notebook from the geo cache box, when he asked me to give him the notebook. I continued to rummage through all the crap in the geo cache box. He then handed the notebook back and told me to read what he wrote. In scrambled handwriting it read, "Will you Marry Me". I turned around and he was on his knees, yes both knees, shaking with a ring in his hand. I was completely shocked. He then proceeded with shaking hands and voice to ask me if i would marry him. So I said yes, he gave me a dozen roses that his family had strategically placed up there, and that was it. Two months later exactly to the date, we were married.

Our Wedding

Jeff and I were married on November 9th. It was a perfect 65 degrees on our wedding day. Everything turned out perfect. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple at 9:40 in the morning. We then headed to a lunchean in Saratoga Springs, and also a reception that night. It was a long and tiring day, but everything turned out absolutly perfect. The line was a million miles long at our wedding, but ended perfectly at 8:30just as we had hoped. As we headed out from the reception, Jeff realized he forgot shoes besides the ones that he wore with his tux. So before we headed up to midway to stay at the Zermatt, we found one of the few places open (Target), and picked him up a new pair of boots. We referred to them as his "moon boots". It was quite the adventure, and something we still laugh about.
