The start of our adventure! Virginia here we come....

Early this morning we each packed a suitcase for our trip to Virginia for a couple of weeks, or so we thought. We were planning on being in Virginia doing security jobs for about 2 or 3 weeks and then coming back to Provo.

We started off in Virginia Beach. We were there for 3 weeks. I really enjoyed it there cause our hotel was right on the beach, so I would spend my days while Garrett was at work sitting out on the balcony listening to the waves crash. I also would watch the surfers and the dolphins, also there were always big ships coming in so I enjoyed just relaxing and watching everything.

Next we moved to Fairfax, and ended up being there for 2 weeks. This view from the hotel wasn't nice like in Virginia Beach so i found other projects to keep me busy. I decided I wanted to go blonde since I had never tried that so I got everything I needed and started bleaching my hair. I had to bleach my hair several times since I started with dark brown hair. Lets just say once I got it kind of blonde my hair was completely damaged.

Next we moved to Richmond and were there for 3 weeks. At this point we realized that we were still going to be out here doing security installs for who knows how long, so we called up our friends and family in Utah to have them pack up our apartment and move all our stuff into a storage unit. We figured there was no point to keep paying rent every month when we aren't even living there. A storage unit is a lot cheaper. One group went in and packed everything into boxes one day, then another group packed up the boxes and took them to the storage unit the next weekend and then a couple friends went in and cleaned it for us. We appreciate all those that took time out of their schedules to help us out since we weren't able to do it ourselves.

After the 3 weeks in Richmond we moved back to Fairfax / DC area. We were there until there wasn't much work left for Garrett to do, so he made arrangements to move to Kansas and work there until we are needed somewhere else. We have been living in hotels here and there for a couple weeks at a time just following where the work is. It has definitely been an adventure!

 

Dalton and Ciara's Wedding / Wedding #3

Today was the big day! We had most everything decorated and set up last night so that when we got to the church this morning all we would have to do was just the final touches to make everything perfect. They ran through how everything would go so that everyone involved knew what they were supposed to do. After the rehearsal we had the luncheon.

Now it was time to start doing hair and getting everyone ready. First I curled Chloee's hair, then it was Ciara's updo and then I finished with curling Mariah's. After I got done doing everyone's hair we got everyone their flowers and then it was time to find our seats. Dalton's brother Lee was the best man and Eliza was the maid of honor. It was a nice ceremony, Ciara looked beautiful and now it was time to party!!!!!

 

 

Vegas!!!

Garrett was asked if he could help do some security system installs for a week in Vegas, so we packed our bags and drove down to Vegas. Garrett would work for a few hours each day and then we had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. While Garrett was at work I would just relax in our room and get caught up on my tv shows. Then when he got home we would grab some dinner and walk around the strip and see all the sites. It was a nice week together!
