Great Time For A Wedding!!!

As of today, June 22nd 2011, Holly and I have been married for five days! Really?? I swear its been like 5 months haha in a good way though =] It has been a fun and crazy adventure this past week. My parents were able to drive up here friday night arriving early saturday morning. Jon and Mallorie picked up Dianne at the bus stop (she came down from Rexburg) early saturday morning and drove down from Pocatello,while the rest of us traveled much shorter distances. At 2pm in the Timpanogos Temple we were sealed for time and all eternity. It was a wonderful and powerful event. We received a lot of suggestions. The end.
Afterwards we were able to take a few pictures with our small group and then take a bunch of pictures with just the two of us. With our awesome photographer Justin. I highly recommend him.
After pictures we met up with the family at Applebees for a celebration meal. Chicken Strip Basket =] My parents got a small wedding cake where I got frosting on Spencer's nose and he got some on my ear and we were able to relax and enjoy some time together with the families.

Monday we went on our first grocery shopping trip as a married couple! Awww so cute! haha we did really good thanks to some gift cards and money we had received from others. We also got a Playstation 3 and TV to complete the apartment, and thankfully they had forgotten to change the price on the TV so we got it for about $50 cheaper! AMEN Good thing we went first thing in the morning instead of waiting until the evening.

It has been a great 5 days so far, we both went straight back to work on monday since we already have our honeymoon booked for August, but its been alright. My employees keep saying, why are you here, shouldn't you be on your honeymoon? And I explain over and over again it was booked for August because our previous wedding date was in August. lol Our love grows deeper and deeper and we are getting to learn more about one another every day. Good or a bad thing you ask (about learning more about each other) both! =] But you love the good and the bad of each other. It's a part of marriage you accept it all! =]

The Apartment!

We found an apartment! It's a nice little place far enough outside of downtown, but close enough to a Trax station so I am able to get to work simply as well. It was actually the first one we looked at. The owner is a nice guy, very honest, and I dont really see any potential issues. When we first called him it went to a recorded message that basically said if you wanna check out the apartment it will be unlocked during the day so just go check it out and if you want it fill out an application on the kitchen counter. So we did! And it works great for us since some of the ceilings are fairly low, but we are both short so no worries there! The past few days we have been moving stuff in and we are pretty much done. Holly will move the rest of her stuff in once she actually moves in. We got a really nice couch with a hideaway bed in it for a great deal, and we were able to meet our new wards Elders Quorum President (his name is Thayne), he helped us get the couch into the apartment. Luckily the couch fit in pretty easily I was quite nervous that it wouldn't. We don't have a washer and dryer, but we will survive. Here are a few pictures to get an idea of it.
