Our First Christmas

We got married 5 days before Christmas, so this year we didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything big. But it was the first Christmas we got to spend together, and the first holiday as married people.


We decorated our Tree on Christmas Eve. (Level 10 Procrastinators)


Then we got to relax and enjoy movies.


It was cool to combine some family traditions into our own Christmas. 


On Christmas Mike gave me a Pandora Bracelet with 2 beads. The first is a heart charm that looks identical to the charm on a necklace he gave me when we were first together in August. The second bead is the infinity sign because we always say "I love you astronomically Infinity" because that is the biggest quantity we have words for.

Our HoneyMoon

For our Honey Moon we got to spend the night at Daniels Summit Lodge.
Every time we would drive past I always wondered what it would be like inside, but I never imagined it would be this pretty!


It had a very 'Cozy Christmas' Feel. All the halls and rooms were decorated festive.




It didn't snow much at home on our wedding. (Although we got just a few good shots in the sprinkle we did get!) But it really came down on the summit! There was an avalanche that came off the roof that morning.


It was SO beautiful. The trees were all lit up and everything sparkled.


I really hope we get the chance to go back there someday! Hopefully for an anniversary we will get the chance.

Our Wedding (Picture Slideshow)

Our Wedding

We decided to get married on December 20th 2014
Our wedding was at 3pm at the Singles Ward Stake Center.
Bishop Deets married us in front of all our family and friends. 

We used the Couples pictures we had taken back in August as our Engagements and made our wedding invitations from them.

My friend MJ was my maid of Honor. 
With my best friend Kesley, my friend Lora, and my two sisters Samantha and Harley as my bridesmaids. 
Kesley helped make the alter piece and all the bridesmaids bouquets for me. She also helped all the other bridesmaids get dressed and do their hair.
My aunt had her friend do my hair for my wedding, it turned out beautiful.

My "Adopted Daughter" Princess Rylee was the flower girl.


His Brother Sterling was his best man, and Sterlings son Bently was the Ring Bearer.
His other brothers David, Steven, and Hyrum, and his nephew Samuel were his groomsmen.


Chandler and Brooke did my photos. And they turned out so amazing! It was such a memorable and special day. Truly the best day of my life. <3
We did a dress reveal before the wedding and our bridal pictures then. The plan was originally to go to the courthouse, but it is apparently closed on Saturdays, so we ended up going to the library instead.

Everything was perfect. We had a beautiful simple winter wedding. And everyone put so much hard work and allot of time into making it amazing. My family all made soups for a potluck dinner. My aunt got us a last minute cake when my original showed up a wreck the night before. My dad spent hours hanging lights and snowflakes.


Our First dance was honestly the first time we had ever gotten to dance together. And the song was "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts.


We left that night for Daniels Summit Lodge and all our friends stayed to clean up the church. I can not thank them enough for the wonderful wedding we had because of everyone.
