First Christmas

So I realize that these are kinda blurry and there is not very many but I did want it to be noted that we had our first christmas together this year and we greatly enjoyed it. :) We even had matching pajama's!

We Have Fun :)

So one night we randomly decided to take some pictures of us and found some cool furry hats to do it with and as such this is the result.... :) (Feel free to be jealous - you know we look good!)

Honeymoon

For our Honeymoon we went to California. It was a very nice change weather wise. It was sunny and warm everyday while we were there except the day we left and then it rained.

We spent the majority of our time at Disneyland and California Adventure. I myself had never been and so was excited to see and go for the first time, Brett was simply excited to go again and to take me on my first time.

Brett doesn't like rollercoasters, however by the end of the trip he had gone on all the rollercoasters at least once and several others more than that. I think he even liked them by the end. :) My favorite and least favorite ride are one and the same, the tower of terror. I don't particulary like that feeling of your stomach flying into your throat when riding an elevator, which this ride did to the tenth degree. However it was fun like the rocket at Lagoon, so we went on the ride multiple times in a row. Brett got quite a kick out of my reaction the first time. I screamed bloody murder, then as soon as we got off the ride I turned to him and said we had to go on it again, right then, because it scared me, and it was a blast!
One night when leaving the park to go back to our car and go home for the night, we got onto one of the trams which was to take us the the parking lot. It had barely gone maybe 200 ft when it started lurching and eventually came to a complete stop which left us stranded for about a half an hour while other trams passed us and waved while we waited for another one to come and get us since ours had died. It was frustrating at the time as we were tired, however makes for a pretty good story.

We also spent some time on the beach, we got a few good sunset pictures, brought back some sea shells and a sand dollar, and froze our feet in the water, but it was all fun! :) Another adventure that happened while in california is my phone died. Don't know what happened, it just died. Luckly we got me a replacement one soon after we came back. We did also return with some matching t-shirts and other memoribillia. It was a wonderful trip with good memories. :)

13 November 2010 = Wedding

So again this is late, but as of the date above I have been officially married for time and all eternity to my love Brett Jaque Francis. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple that morning. We had been hoping for a nice sunny day, but instead we got a somewhat cold and rather wet one. However we still had fun.

As we were walking around the temple grounds getting some pictures we were all freezing and happened across a vent that blew hot air just outside the temple, so needless to say we were huddled there for a little while in hopes of warming up. We had to leave the warm spot a little too soon for me but it all worked out. Once all our pictures were taken we went to go change so that we could go to lunch, but apparently my parents didn't see us head inside and as my mom had my key to my locker so Brett had to go back outside to the cold to find her so that we could leave.

The food at the luncheon was amazing! Instead of the normal tapping of glasses to get us to kiss however they had little bells that they would ring. It was fun and looked really good, and we had to kiss a couple of times of course.

The reception that night turned out beautifully. It was exactly as I pictured it would be and actually didn't seem near as long as i thought it would. We had fun cutting the cake, and dancing together as well as me with my dad. We stood in line for a long time and met lots of people that we knew and didn't know. We did a boquet throw, which my roommate Angela caught to the disappointment of my sister. Afterward we did the garter toss, which Brett pulled off with his teeth first then his nephew Jeff who is eleven caught. We unfortunately didn't get any of our own refreshments (rootbeer floats) but we heard they were good.

When the time came to 8pm Brett and I made a quick escape out of the reception. We discovered our car to be decorated with window stickers and wrapped in plasic wrap. I suppose you could say that we cheated in getting it off though because we borrowed a pocket knife and cut through all the layers then just pulled it off. I'm glad that it wasn't decorated too badly though, that was probably partially cause the rain, but we were honestly worried about it a bit, so we were glad it wasn't too bad.

Overall the day was an amazing success and we loved every moment of it. Thankyou all who helped and came and shared this special time with us. :)

Bridals

So I realize that this is a little late in coming.. but i've been busy. However I still wanted to share some pictures with you from my bridal session. I had a photographer named Angela come and take them for me. We took them at the Joseph Smith Memorial building in Salt Lake City and a few over around the temple grounds.

It was a beautiful day and actually rather warm, which was surprising with it being November. It made me hopeful that my wedding would be as nice. Here are a few to give you an idea, hope you enjoy. :)

Home... for now.

So Brett and I found an apartment finally and have been slowly moving things into it. It is becoming more like a home every day as we add more things to it little by little. It's not much but it will do.

Our favorite part of it of course is our lovely old school brown couch, quickly followed by the toilet in the middle of the bathroom, the dryer in the closet and of course the cracked and peeling paint on the walls and ceilings.

Its a little place in the basement of an old house but considering everything we believe we got a pretty good deal overall.

Although the pictures aren't that many or that great it gives you a good idea. We also have a couch in our entryway. As it turned out it just couldn't quite make it through the second door to the living room and so is stuck in the entryway... but i suppose it keeps us from having to find a bench or something instead so it all works out.

This will be our home for now, but eventually we hope to get something better, but for now it will do. :)

Updates

For those of you who may be curious.... Wedding plans are coming along. Quickly, stressfully, and consistant. The day has been set for November 13, 2010 which leaves about one month until we will be married.

In the meantime, I am working in the south, while he is working in the north, and we travel between. However despite the distance between us during this time, we are still very happy and looking forward to being married soon. :)
