Lava Hot Springs

It has been seven months since Matt and I were married. During this time we have been living in the University of Utah Village. We have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by wonderful people and such a great ward. This past weekend we took a mini vacation to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.It only took 2 1/2 hours to reach our destination. The first night we went to the hot springs that were so relaxing. I had no idea that the hot springs would be so beautiful especially during the night. Since it is located far from any city the night sky was filled with stars. The next day we went tubing down the river which was one of the highlights of trip. It was quite the adventure. No pictures taken going down the river due to the fact we were in the water the majority of the time. You will just have take my word that it was blast.



Also my favorite part of the trip was sitting around the fire and telling stories. The trip was filled with constant laughs. It was an enjoyable time!
I would like to thank the Bells, the Lacys, the Terrys, and the Siggards for making the trip such a great time!

Commencement 2010

I am officially done with my undergraduate schooling. I could not have done it with out the help of my husband. I would also like to thank my mom and dad for all the support and help they have given me and continue to do so. I was happy to share college graduation with my family members. I feel that my accomplishment could not have been achieved without my family's help. I am extremely grateful to be blessed with great a husband, parents, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I love each one of them!

Almost Done

Today I presented my Senior Thesis and project.I'm happy to say everything went well. This semester I have been so busy with assignments which has caused me to focus on school more. I have a week and a half until I am officially with my undergraduate schooling. It has been a hard road but I finally see the light and the end of the tunnel.
Needless to say this next week is probably the hardest yet.
But I am grateful for the support my husband and family gives me.

Here is my bear hug to you for the support you give me....




THANK YOU!

Cancun (part 2)

I know it has been awhile since we have returned from our honeymoon BUT the last two days were one of the best.

DAY 4

We did a tour that took us to various places. The first stop was a huge cave, they told us that the Mayan's believed the water was the fountain of life.






After much driving we finally arrived to Chichen Itza. One of the most interesting places I have visited. The pictures don't do it justice but it works.





Matt was so excited to visit these ruins.



I love traveling and learning about different cultures. The ruins reminded alot of Machu Picchu, Peru.

Day 5
our last day

We honestly did no want to leave this paradise. It was the one of the best trips I have been on.





We plan on going back someday :), I love traveling with Matt. I am extremely grateful that we get be together forever. I could not imagine it any other way.
i love you Matt!

Wedding Video

We just recieved our wedding video. click here.
Sebastian did such a great job!

PARADISE (part 1)

It took awhile to arrive to our destination but the wait was definitely worth it. After a 3 hour layover delay we made it to our hotel at night but made it just in time for our first Mexican meal accompanied with Manzana Lift. For those of you who don't know, this drink is one our favorites!

Day 1



Day 2
We decided to venture around the Hotel Zone. We discovered we could walk along the coast. The water was warm. I have never seen such clear water.



This a restaurant we found on the beach.





Day 3
We did a tour that took you over to the other island called "Isla Mujeres", the ferry that took us over. We were dropped off on a resort that had hammocks, a huge side and we also were able to take a bike ride around the island. Such much fun and relaxing.
















Then the ferry took us to the north part of the island and we found the most beautiful beach ever! On this beach you could walk 300 ft into the ocean and the water doesn't go above your waist.






I can honestly say that Cancun, Mexico is like paradise.

The Reception

This day was probably the longest day of our lives but also the BEST. Our reception was held at Millennial Falls in Draper. They decorated the place so beautifully and everything was done so well, including the napkins.











Both, my grandpa and Matt's mother gave us a toast before we cut the cake. We really appreciated there thoughtful words.







I designed our cake and was happy how it turned out.



Our first dance as a married couple, I thought it turned out well considering the fact my dress restricted the movement of my arms.





We love to dance!







This day turned out be perfect. I would like to give a special thanks to my mother for helping making this day so special. Also I would like to thank Matt's parents for all their help.

And I would like to let Matt know that I am very blessed to have him as a husband. Thank you Love!
