Honeymoon!

Just realized I never did a honeymoon post. I'll make it short and sweet.

It was an amazing week! It was exactly what we needed, relaxing with each other.

We found a condo on HomeAway.com that was a great price and we just hung out there most of the time. It was their rainy season so every morning when we got up it was raining but by afternoon it was beautiful so we would make the 15 minute walk to the beach and wander around and hang out at the beach. We found an awesome local restaurant that we ate at almost everyday. Before it started to get dark we would head back to the condo and chill. Our condo had a dipping pool which we took full advantage of. And our view was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back! Here are some pictures we took during the week.

Wedding Part 1

So today is our 1 month Anniversary! I can't believe it has already been a month, time flies by so fast. I figured it was about time to post something about the wedding. So today It'll be the ceremony and I'll do another one soon about the reception.

My day started at 4:30 AM because I couldn't sleep. I got to the church at 7:30 and Carrie got to work on my hair and makeup.

I was finally ready to go about a half hour early. Can I just say that was the longest 30 minutes of my life. I am so glad that I chose to do it in the morning because I would have been going crazy all day waiting.

My dad walked back to get me and I just started to cry, it was finally here, all the waiting and planning and now it was happening. I pulled myself together as I walked with my dad toward the sanctuary. As soon as I walked through the doors and saw Joe and completely lost it.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I don't remember everything that was said and I am so glad we have a recording of it so we can go back and remember exactly what we vowed to each other. Our pastor is a great friend and I couldn't have let anyone else do it for us.

Part of our ceremony was the lighting of a unity candle. Both of our mothers lit a smaller candle and together we took our candles and lit a bigger one representing the uniting of our two families. As we were lighting the candle another great friend and the worship pastor at our church sang the song that he wrote to propose his wife.

We exchanged rings and then the kiss ♥

(Love Scott's face in this picture!)

Finally Married!!

After the ceremony we had a luncheon for everyone and just talked and mingled.

It was exactly what I had pictured and everything turned out perfectly.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported us!

Jazz Game!

Sunday was Joe's birthday and game 4 of Jazz vs. Nuggets playoff series. We had been scouring for tickets all week but they were all so expensive. So Sunday came and we were headed to my families house and Caleb called and asked if we would like to go to the game with him. Yay! We were so excited so we went and ate dinner with my family and left the kids with my mom. When we got to will-call to pick up our tickets someone had already signed for them, the lady says it happens a lot during the playoffs because of the craziness. Caleb mentioned that it was Joe's birthday and when she came back with replacement tickets she gave us lower bowl, 2oth row center court tickets! (our original ones were like 14th row upper bowl) They were the best seats I've ever had at a Jazz game and it was so awesome! The game was so much fun, I love the atmosphere of playoff games!
