Married life!

Well, I guess it's time to update this blog, seeing as Trevor and I are now married! The wedding day was amazing. I'm so grateful for all the hard work that everyone put into making it such a special day, and grateful as well for all of my friends and family that traveled up from Arizona and California to be there for me. I can't imagine a better day...though to be honest, it's a bit of a blur! Mostly I was just floating on a cloud all day with the man of my dreams. (The photographer never had to tell me to smile for the pictures...though she did have to tell us to stop kissing from time to time.)

As great as the wedding day was, however, the honeymoon was probably even better. It was great being able to spend all of that time alone with Trevor, especially since all of the wedding planning stress was gone. For our honeymoon we went on a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico, with another stop in Catalina Island. Neither of us had been on a cruise before, so we were way excited, and now that we've been, we're hooked. Cruises rock! It was great being able to just do whatever we wanted and eat as much and as often as we liked (though we stuffed ourselves a few times). At Catalina we went para-sailing, which was also a first for both of us. We thought it was going to be a rush being that high up in the air, but it was actually really calm. We even managed to lean over and kiss while we were up there, which means we can now say that we've kissed at 600 ft in the air! In Ensenada we went horseback riding through the mountains along the coast, and it was beautiful. Then we got some authentic fish tacos and Trevor encountered a hot sauce that was even hot to him!

But now that we're back from the cruise, things are only getting better. We've been working hard getting our home organized, and doing way more shopping than I've been used to, but it's been fun, too. I love having my own house, and I love making it into a comfortable home for Trevor and I. We also have a great church ward here. The people are really open and friendly, and we've already got plans to have a dinner/game night with two other young couples in our apartment complex. Hopefully we'll all have a good time and we can make it a monthly thing.

Married life is great! We love each other and we love life!

  1. Sounds like everything is going great!! I am glad you two had a wonderful honeymoon. Not to many people could say that they have kissed while para-sailing! Isn't it wonderful having your own place? AND you don't have to go home at night because you already are home! Hanging out with other married couples is so fun! The first time Kyle and I did the same, it took a little adjusting too, it felt like we were at a 'grown-up party' because we were all married and everything. Good luck putting together the last details for your apartment!
