No more purple wall!!




There was a purple wall in Ken's apartment that the previous renter painted and he never bothered to after moving in which was close to two years ago. The whole time we dated this wall drove me crazy! It didn't match anything and I am not a big fan of purple. Needless to say this walls days were numbered since we got married. This past weekend Ken and I spent painting the wall white and rearranging furniture. It is so fun to create a home together and painting the wall was super fun since it was our first big project as a married couple. Note to everyone, it took four coats of white to cover the purple, not fun!!

Worst blogger ever!!

I know I'm lame and I haven't blogged in forever, but my computer is pretty shotty and will only turn on every now and again. I do have a ton of posts written though, so I decided to put those up and when I have access to a good computer again with the software for my camera I will upload pictures. Sorry about all of the writing for now, but it's better than nothing after 4 months.

Second Reception

We had a second reception on November 1st back in San Diego after the cruise for those that weren't able to sail with us. We had this up at the Carlsbad Seapointe Resort, it was in a gorgeous clubhouse overlooking the ocean. Ken and I were able to stay at the resort on Friday and Saturday night to be able to get ready for the reception. Once again Traci came up to do all of the girls' hair and help us get ready for the night. We took fun pictures down at the beach with the wedding party and had so much fun at the reception, since the wedding was over and we had been vacationing all week, it was just about having fun! The flowers and arrangements were gorgeous as was our wave cake with the surfer cake topper that Ken made. We had so much fun dancing and just being with our friends and family. It has been a crazy 10 days and I am exhausted, but also sad to say goodbye to everyone that came out to share this time with us that we love so much. I can honestly say this was the best, most perfect time of my life and I love being married, it is so much fun!!!!!!! Thank you to everyone that made this so special and memorable, Ken and I wouldn't be the people we are without all of the amazing people in our lives!!!!!! We love you all!!!!!!

Last Night!!!!!



On October 26th, the night before the wedding, after the rehearsal fiesta I was accompanied by some of the girls in my wedding for a night at the Embassy Suites. I was super excited because this was the first time that all of the girls were meeting since Megan and Resa live out of state. I was even more excited to have all of my best friends together, what I didn't know is that they had made some pretty fun plans for me that night!!! Melody, Megan, Resa, Brooke and Amber planned an amazing girls night for us that included a not so attractive costume for me, games, movies and tons of laughs!!! We had so much fun that night!!!!! I have never been happier than I was having these girls together and being able to share with all of them why they are all so important to me in my life! We stayed up late giggling and chatting and it was so worth it!! The next morning at 6 am Traci arrived to start doing our hair and getting us ready for the big day! This has already been the best experience of my life!!! Thank you to all of the amazing friends in my life! I love you all more than words can express!!!!!!!

Wedding Cruise!!!!!!!












October 27th is finally here and we got married!!!!!!! This was a crazy, yet oh so fun day. Ken and I are still amazed at how over the course of so many events and days everything went so perfectly!!! We got married aboard the Carnival Elation by Bishop Christopher Beesley from my home ward. The wedding was short and perfect. Dylen and Max did an awesome job with their little parts and we were so happy to share this event with so many wonderful family members and close friends. It really means a lot to us; all of the sacrifices that went into being with us for all of these events!!!!!! The reception after the wedding was beautiful! The day just flew by, after everyone left the photographer took Ken and I around the ship and took some amazing pictures!!!!!! I was so excited at how well they came out! The cruise was amazing! We had never been on a cruise before, and are totally sold on how great they are! Ken and I were in an amazing suite and had so much fun sharing this experience with the 34 people that sailed with us! We even had group shirts which made for a fun picture! We were the only wedding on board, so everywhere we went people were congratulating us. We spent a day in Cabo San Lucas and it was gorgeous! We went on a glass bottom boat that took us out to Lover's Beach where we snorkeled and enjoyed the amazing weather and warm water temperature! Seriously everything was picture perfect! There are way too many details to go into, but overall we had the most amazing time ever and want to thank everyone that shared this experience with us!!!!!!
