Sea World! I love this place and I pretty much love the Shamu show. This was probably the only day(besides the day we left) that was actually warm and sunny...for the most part. Jon and I realized in Sea World that we make pretty good traveling companions. We set a plan from the start and pretty much hit everything there was to see in Sea World. Except for swimming with the dolphins. That was at the top of our list of things to do there but when we got there(which was pretty early in the morning) they were already full. I guess you have to reserve that before you get there to guarantee a spot. Either way, it was still fun and just writing this makes me want to go back.
Our first night, we stayed at Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls. I have to say that those rooms are pretty fancy. They even served us breakfast in bed!
We had a line for the first hour and a half of the reception. Richard and KaraLyn Ferguson, Ryan Dabell and James Gordon played in a string quartet for the background music. For the last half hour, we had a program and dance. I was really worried about the dance because I didn't know if everyone would enjoy it but it turned out to be great. At least it woke everyone up! I was also really worried about the decorations and food but it all turned out beautiful. Daila Jaussi did my food table and Susan Clawson did the rest, with the help of my best friend, Lyndsee. Our picture with the cake shows Jon shoving the cake into my mouth. It was such a big piece of cake that it literally went half way down my throat.
These are some pre-bridals taken before the wedding.
Jon and I got married on April 11th, 2009. It had been rainy all week so we were a little worried, but on Saturday it was beautiful weather. We were married in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple with lots of family and friends there to support us. Here are some pictures of us during that day, outside of the temple.
Welcome to our blog. This blogging thing is new to us so we'll see how it goes. A lot has happened in this past year for us. We got married on April 11, 2009 and since then we have gone from being in our first apartment to buying our own little house. We also have a new addition to our family, which is our new puppy named Abby!
