Salt Lake City

For my 20th birthday Taylor took me to Salt Lake City. We had so much fun exploring the city. We stayed at this really nice hotel located right next to an outdoor mall. Our hotel room was bigger then our entire apartment. :P

Here are just a few of the pictures we took:




We saw this beautiful little park in the middle of the city.











I think it is safe to say that we like to kiss. :p



I love fall! This year Pocatello didn't really have a fall, so it was so fun going to Salt Lake and seeing all the fall colors.







He is pretty good lookin'







You know that moment, when you think about spending the rest of your life with one person. Someone that you go through so many hard and good times with. The person that makes you laugh and makes everyday better. The person whom you are just lucky to be around. It is at that moment that I know I married the right person. I am not sure how I got that lucky, but I thank God everyday for Taylor.

Alyse's Baby Shower



I had the privileged of helping host a baby shower for my niece. All of Chelsey's sisters got to share in the planning. Our theme was pink and yellow giraffe.





Gingerbread stroller cookies.



Sarah made our giraffe cake.




We got a few ideas from Pinterest. :)




Grandma enjoying her time with Alyse, as Alyse's great grandma shared baby stories and a blessing with Chels.













Alyse is going to look so cute!

A few honeymoon pictures

Taylor and I went to Molokia, Hawaii for our honeymoon. It is the most gorgeous place on earth.



You could be on a beach all day and never see another person. It was wonderful!



The sunsets were beautiful!

It was wonderful just relaxing, talking, and letting the moments sink in.



Our wedding rings were placed on 1 Corinthians 13, the chapter read during our wedding that displays the selfless marriage covenant.



You feel so small when you look across miles of Ocean. It is breath-taking. How great our God is and His creation.

Engagement Ring



I was *little* excited about my beautiful ring one day... so I took loads of pictures. This is just the engagement ring, the wedding band hadn't been added at this point.






I always wondered, when I was younger, what my ring would look like. I have always thought that it would tell a lot about the person who bought it for you. Call me crazy or just a hopeless romantic, but I still think that.





I love that my ring is so sparkly. It is so incredibly beautiful the second light hits it. I love that it is not overly huge and showy, yet delicately beautiful.



I love that it is a one-of-a-kind, specially made for me. Taylor had the sapphires on the side of the ring added. He added it because Sapphires are my favorite gems, also sapphire means truth or faithfulness, and lastly he wanted my ring to be a one-of-a-kind. The thing I love the most about it, is without my help or my families, he bought me a perfect ring. I honestly couldn't ask for a better ring.








The flowers are from the day he purposed, and the two letters he had sent me while we were dating.
