2 Years

I am a week and a half behind, but Tyler and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 29th.

I can definitely say I love him way more than the day that I married him & am looking forward to forever with him.

HAPPY 2 YEARS TO US!

Valentines Day!

Tyler and I had a great Valentines Day this year. I had work and Tyler had school, but by 3:00 we were both home and ready to celebrate. And like any smart man, he didn't forget to bring flowers!

 Being the good wife I am...I remembered the cake bites!

We went to Goodwood for a late lunch/dinner and the place was practically empty. I think we might have to try to do it every year! It was so nice to not have to wait. 

After that we went and did a little shopping to decide what Duvet we wanted for our bed. Of course, we didn't buy it because heaven forbid we buy anything at an actual store when you can get it online. I have been dying to just have it and we have a gift card $120, plus a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond, but Tyler is still convinced we can get it for cheaper online. Crazy husband. We also went and browsed around at RC Willey's just for fun, we weren't in the market to buy anything but got chased down by every salesman there. There was an old lady who was very aggressive and really trying hard to sell us a fridge, as if we actually needed one. We went home for a bit to kill some time and then we went to the movies and saw This Means War. It was sooo funny and we both loved it, although there were lots of annoying people sitting around us and drove us crazy...Tyler swore he's never going to go to the movies again, but we'll see about that. We topped the night off with a little bit of One Tree Hill and called it a success.

I LOVE MY VALENTINE AND WAS SO HAPPY TO SPEND MY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH HIM!!!

Anniversary Post

I can hardly believe it, but its already been a year since our wedding day! In some ways, it feels like it has been way more than a year, but at other times I feel like it was last week! Everyone told us that the first year would require a lot of adjustments, but I really don't feel like it has and Tyler will agree. Maybe there is something wrong with us, but it has been nothing like what were told it would be like. When people have asked us how we like married life or other questions about being married, somehow its always come out that we found it to be an easy adjustment and that once we were married it just felt like we'd been married the whole 2 1/2 years we'd been dating too. Everything just sort of started to blend right together and its almost weird to think that we weren't husband and wife back then. Last year, not long after the wedding I started to write down everything I could about the day and I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get it quite right and write it the way I wanted to so I never posted it, but I realized even if it isn't perfect, I want to remember it the best that I can and so writing it or posting it somewhere is better than not at all. Sooo here it is...

December 29, 2010

I never imagined I would get married in the winter let alone in December, but now I can't imagine having it any other way, because the day was simply just like a fairy tale and completely perfect.

I woke up VERY early that morning. It was about 3:45am and sadly I woke up to a large amount of snow. I had prayed and prayed there wouldn't be any. I am not a  winter person and hoped it would be sunny and as warm as it possibly could be given that it was December, so I won't lie, seeing the snow got me a little down and a little worried, because I had refused to buy any kind of shawl or jacket to wear over my dress. I had figured I hadn't picked out my dress simply to cover it up and that yes (mom), I would rather freeze and show it off than be warm...so I was hoping I wasn't completely crazy and wouldn't totally freeze.

Joelle showed up just after 4am to do my hair and make up...around 6am I was all ready to go. Tyler arrived shortly after to head up to the temple. Once we were in the car, it finally set in. I was getting MARRIED. It was really happening. I was very excited! Once we had passed the point of the point of the Mountain the snow had eased up and we were able to increase our speed. As we approached Salt Lake, I began to get very very nervous. This was the only point I ever had cold feet. I began talking...without breathing inbetween...just nonstop talking. Tyler asked me if I was oay, and it wasn't until then that I realized how much I had been talking. I confessed that I was nervous and continued to talk nonstop until we arrived. Thankfully, there was no snow on the ground as we walked across the street from the parking garage to the temple, but it was very windy so I was very worried for my hair.

Once we got into the temple all my nerves were gone and instead I felt very very calm (this word basically describes the way I felt the rest of the day) and I knew everything was okay. We were very lucky to be the only 9 o'clock wedding and I got the brides room all to myself. After I had changed and was all ready Tyler and I were able to sit in the Celestial Room for almost an hour before the ceremony. I loved every minute of it. Our ceremony was beautiful and simply felt surreal. We were the first people to come out of the temple that day and it was amazing to have the Temple grounds all to ourselves, being that that is sooo rare at the Salt Lake Temple I felt especially lucky. Not only that, but the winds had pretty well calmed and we could not have asked for better weather.

It was so amazing having so many family and friends there to greet us and celebrate with us. It was almost overwhelming and afterwards I realized how many were there that I failed to take pictures with. I of course had wanted to and planned on it, but in the moment my mind was somewhere else I guess and I just flat out spaced it. To be honest, I probably would have forgotten more if it hadn't been for my photographers suggestions (Sorry if you were one of those I left out! I really was so glad to have you there and am so sad that I didn't take pictures with you!)

The entire time we took pictures on the temple grounds I just felt funny. I felt like it was all not real and I wasn't really taking my wedding pictures and it couldn't possibly be my wedding day. Everything just felt like a blur.


Thankfully, The only thing that ever got cold was my nose and my hands...the rest of me was just fine and was very grateful that the weather was as good as it was.

We really lucked out and got some amazing pictures and as we were finishing it began to get very very windy. Had we been married even an hour later we would not have the great pictures that we do, so I remember feeling so lucky and so grateful for them!

We left the temple and headed down to Orem for our luncheon and the roads were so yucky and snowy, so again I felt soo lucky that the temple had gone so well.

Our luncheon was great and gave us a chance to talk a little more to family and friends. We had just enough time to go home to change quick before we had to be off again and head over to the Bungalow. Once on our way, I remember thinking that the snow had kind of cleared up and the roads weren't nearly as bad. I even mentioned it to Tyler and said that it would sure make it nicer for people who would be coming to the reception. Little did I know it was the calm before the storm.

We literally pulled up to the Bungalow and I called my mom to see where she was at with my dress. In the 2 minutes I was on the phone, over and inch of snow had come down. And from there on out, it hit pretty fast. My mom ended up being late, because she had to turn around and go back home because of how fast the snow was coming down, so they traded in her van for my dad's truck. Thankfully they made it there okay. Because of how bad the snow was that evening a lot of people weren't able to make it to our reception. We missed them, but the night was still pretty perfect. We were able to get a lot of cool snowy pictures so I feel like I got a little of everything, a morning of great weather and clear skies and a night of freshly fallen snow!

The day was amazing and pefect and if I could, I would definitely love to go back and relive it! And since I can't I'm so glad I have my pictures and video to help me remember!!! Special thanks to my photographer Stephanie Sunderland and videographer Brandon Orton. They made the day even better for me!

Today, December 29, 2011 I am very grateful for Tyler! Our first year has been awesome and I owe that to him! I couldn't ask for a better husband! I can't wait for all the many more great years to come!

Here are some more wedding pics just for kicks and giggles...

Happy Anniversary to my awesome Hubby!

Fall Pictures.

Yesterday evening we had a photoshoot up the canyon with Chelsey...less than 24 hours later, I have them back. They turned out great...I love them so I thought I'd share a few...you can go check out Chelsey's blog too! She does an awesome job!

As you can see we had plenty of fun taking them! In the few photoshoots I've had with Tyler, I've learned that the camera turns him goofy. Just about every shot we took he was goofing off or trying to get me to laugh!



One Lucky Guy :)
