Jason and I have officially been married for 1 month now! I figure its about time I update this and put our wedding day details on here for all those who keep asking and weren't able to make it. :)
Friday night, Feb. 20th, we had a fantastic dinner with our family and close friends at a chinese restaurant called Joy Luck, in Bountiful. The food was delicious and Jason's mom was so great to put it all together for us! We had a good time visiting with one another and had so many people come in from out of town. My Dad did a good job at humiliating Jason and I in retelling Jason and I's "how we met" story.
Saturday, Feb. 21st, 2009, ended up being the most perfect day of my life! I still cannot get over how great everything went! Jason and I were sealed in the Salt Lake City temple
at 11:40. We were so blessed to be able to look around and see so many of our family and friends in the temple with us. My Grandparents and Aunt and Uncles came all the way from Alaska, Idaho, and Colorado. I also had my best friends drive in from Vernal, UT and all the way from Seattle, Washington. We were sealed by Elder Rudd, a former General Authority. He now serves
in the Church Welfare Department with my Dad. I had the opportunity to hear him speak several times when I worked for the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. He did an amazing job and the ceremony was so special and perfect for us. I could not stop smiling the whole time! Coming out of the temple was so exciting. It was great to see so many more friends and family there waiting for us. I feel so blessed to have so many amazing and wonderful people be a part of my life! After group pictures everyone headed over to the reception center to help set up, while Jason and I took more pictures around the temple. We had an incredible photographer and videographer, both were so fun to work with and captured some incredible shots. We also had perfect weather! The sun was shining and even in my short sleeved wedding dress I still managed to keep warm.
The reception was held at the Farmington Arts Center in downtown Farmington. It was the perfect location for us. Making it about half way between both sets of parents. We had so much
help from w
ard members and family in setting everything up. We could not have done it with out all the people who lent us items, came and served, set up, and cleaned up. Thank you!!!
Our colors were light blue, silver, and black. It was all very elegant and whimsical, I loved it! I couldn't even believe how great everything turned out. We had my favorite flower, calla lillys, for the wedding par
ty and centerpieces, a great hot chocolate bar with more than 10 different kinds of mix-ins, cake and fruit, and all kinds of finger treats. Jason's Uncle even surprised me with light blue cotton candy as a little favor for the guests to take home. He had found out that I had wanted to do that but gave up on it as the wedding got closer and more stressful. Everything was beyond perfect. My brother and sister played the piano so we even had live music. We had a great photobooth for the guests to take their pictures in and than scrapbook them for our guestbook. So many people came from all over Morgan and Farmington it was great to see old friends again. My closest girl friends from Davis came and just about everyone one from USU. My old roommate Aubrey surprised me at the reception and came in from Kentucky. It was so fun to see everyone again, I only wish I could have hung out with everyone more.
We had so much family there it was so great to have everyone together. From my Mom's side of the family we had Grandma and Grandpa, all 8 brothers and sisters and 39 grandchildren (except for my brother Jayden who's on a mission).
Jason had a great turn out from all of his family and relatives as well. His younger sister even made it to the reception with their 4 day old baby!
I had the greatest Bridesmaids ever! They were all so helpful and fun to have around on my big day! I had my two beautiful sisters, Jason's three sisters (who are the best sister-in-
laws ever) and my best friends from Washington, High School, and Salt Lake. All of our brothers were a huge help too, especially when it came to "decorating" our car! Our parents were such a great support and help through out everything as well. I now have two of the greatest families in the world!
All in all I owe everything to Jason. Who has made me happier than I ever thought possible. I cannot believe how much I love him and I would truely do anything for him. Through out all of the great fun and excitement of the day, the best part was sharing everything with him. Thank you for choosing me! I love you!
O SOMETHING! We decided to venture over to the country of Canada for the night. Only to find out that Canada is pretty much just like Michigan. Except it has an awesome view of Detroit. We went to Ceasars Palace and got dinner at a Sports bar in the Hotel/Casino. Guess what we ordered... Nachos... and guess what we did... Watched TV... So we went all the way to another country to sit in front of the TV with an even larger than normal plate of Nachos. And we were even able to make it home and into bed by 11:30. Yeah... We're Awesome! :) 
The week after we got back from our honeymoon we loaded up my little Mazda and headed off to our new adventure in the land of Michigan. Jason began working for my company (MAC) the first of January. I was the owners personal assistant and Jason became the companies Marketing guy. In exchange for me hooking Jason up with this great new job and opportunity I lost my job and was sent along with him to try and start up the company in Michigan. I had never been to Michigan before, and Jason had only been there once. Neither of us really knew what we were in for though.
We spent our first day exploring the Hotel and all of its pools and restaurants. The next day we just hung out on the beach and played in the ocean. Nothing beats laying out on the beach all day with your hubby! :) That night we went to down town Cancun and ate at, my new favorite restaurant, Chocolate City.
Our third day their we got up early and took a tour bus out to the Mayan ruins. It was such a great experience and I'm so glad we decided to do it! On the way out we stopped at a cenote, which is a large underground river. It was about 75ft below the ground and so gorgeous. It had vines coming down and looked like something straight out of a movie. We went swimming and cliff jumping
. It took my about a 45 minutes and a lot of coercing from Jason but I finally jumped. All the while Jason was doing back flips and showing everyone else up. Our next stop was the Mayan Ruins. They are so amazing and so beautiful. I couldn't believe the knowledge and architectural expertise these ancient people had. I loved learning about their culture and lives back than. The next day we took a ferry to Isla Mujeres. We went snorkeling along the reefs and swam with sharks. I was so proud of Jason! He's not the biggest fan of ocean creatures but he know
s how much I love them. I even got him to touch a starfish. :) Back on the Island we rented a little scooter and went exploring. Their were so many fun little shops and restaurants. Not to mention the gorgeous views of the ocean. Our last day there we hung out at the beach, did some body surfing, and soaked in every last bit of sunshine I could before heading back to freezing cold Utah! 
We got back to Utah just in time for the Mc Hammer and Vanilla Ice concert. He knows how big of fan I am of the 80's and surprised me with tickets for Valentines Day. We went with a group of friends and it was an all night 80's dance party with the best performers around!! I fell in love with Jason all over again that night. Not only did he put up with Vanilla Ice and MC all night long, but he dressed up and danced crazy with me the entire night!
