Honeymoon to Cabo!!!

The day after our wedding, which was my birthday, we we got on a plane that was headed to Cabo.  I was so excited to go relax for a week in the nice warm weather with Garrett.  It was by far the most relaxing week of my life.  I loved walking on the beach, swimming in the pool, hot tubing, and sitting on the balcony soaking up the sun!!!




One of the days we drove over to Cabo San Lucas to swim in the ocean.  We found a spot on the beach that wasn't as crowded to claim a spot for our towels.  After we had been in the water for a couple minutes Garrett told me he felt like his ring was going to fall off.  Sure enough just then it was gone.  We looked and looked and felt around in the sand for a good 20 minutes or so but could not find it.  After this happened we were pretty much done swimming in the ocean, so we headed back to the hotel.

The next day we went into the ghetto part of town to find a taco stand, cause thats where you can find the best ones.  OH MY GOSH!!! These were the best tacos ever.  We first each started with 2 tacos each but after we ate them we had to get more so we each got 1 more.  Nothing could have ruined our day after eating those tacos.

For the rest of the week we pretty much just hung out around the resort.  We watched a show that the hotel put together.  It was different kinds of traditional mexican dances.  The fire dance was pretty cool.  After the dancers were done performing they ended the night with a little game show.  That was pretty funny to watch.

On the day that we were leaving Cabo we wanted to find another taco stand to end the week right.  As we drove to the airport we kept our eyes open for one but were not finding anything.  As we got to the airport, we were driving around to find where we needed to drop off our rental car, and thats when we saw the sign for tacos.  So we drove around trying to figure out how to get over to the road with the taco stand and couldn't figure it out.  So we decided to return the car and then just walk over to the taco stand.  After we climbed over the fence we finally made it.  We sat down and ordered some guacamole and chips and 2 tacos each again.  This time we each got one chicken and one steak taco.  We both had our expectations way up after our last taco experience.  So when we took the first bite, we both were in heaven, these tacos were even better than the last ones!!! So of course we had to order one more each.  We were so full but so happy! This was exactly the way we wanted to end this great week.  So we left and went to the airport to head back to Provo.

Our Wedding Day!!!

The day everyone has spent so much time planning for is finally here.  The first thing we had to do was decorate for the reception.  I couldn't reserve the church the night before so we got to wake up bright and early to decorate the morning of.  So we got all the decorations, table and chair covers and food loaded in the cars and headed to the church which was in Sugarhouse.  When we got to the church we got everything out of the cars and put away.  We had some people start coving the tables and chairs, while others started with the ceiling decorations.  I was helping with getting all the tables and chairs set up and in the right places and getting them covered.  This is about all I helped with before it was time for me to start getting ready.  Our Wedding was at 1 o'clock but Garrett and I had to be there at 11:30 and everyone else at 12:30.  So there was a lot to be done in a short amount of time.  Garrett and I left before I could really even see how it was going to look when everything was done but I wasn't worried cause my sister Mariah was in charge of everything and I trusted her decorating style.

Now everyone was at the Temple and it was time to get married.  It was wonderful to see all our family and friends that were there celebrating with us as we walked into the room.  The things that were said and being surrounded by family and friends made it a wonderful and exciting experience.  It was a beautiful wedding.  Then all our guests left and went outside to meet us as we went and changed.  It was so fun to walk out those temple doors and have everyone start cheering.  Now it was time to  gather everyone together for pictures.











Then we let everyone leave and went and did all of our pictures.









After we were done with pictures we headed back to the church for the luncheon. We had some good food, it was lasagna, chicken alfredo, garlic bread and salad.  When everyone was done eating we got all cleaned up and got everything set up for the reception.  Let the party begin!

I think everyone had a good time at the reception.  It was fun to party with everyone.  Thanks to everyone who helped plan everything especially my sister Mariah.  It definitely wouldn't have turned out the same without your help, and thanks to everyone who came and supported us on our special day!
