Life is an adventure. Made for an adventurer..

I have been wanting to go camping for forever and we have just not had the time till now. Unfortunately planning and executing a wedding has taken up all of my weekends since April when camping season arrived.
Last Friday, we had initially decided not to go camping, but at 11:30 pm we changed our minds. The cool Utah canyon night air was calling our names, and the Jeep was ready and eager to go on a night ride with the top down. We got our tent and some sleeping bags together and headed up the canyon. Our destination: East Canyon. We hoped that it wouldn't be as busy as Big or Little Cottonwood. We headed up Parley's Canyon because we thought it would be faster, boy were we wrong. After having to drive 30 minutes out of the way because of detours, we made it to the road that would get us to the canyon. We got to the campsite and all sites were full, thank you to some stake campout from Roy, UT. Besides being exhausted and the time approaching 12:45, we decided to press on and go up the canyon to see what campsites were on the other side of the mountain. (Did I mention that a random lightening storm started right as we entered the canyon?) So with lightnening coming down around us, we pressed on. As we were approaching the top of the mountain the lightening was getting worse and worse. We decided that the conditions had defeated us and retreated down the hill. As Bryce was turning the Jeep around it started to lightly sprinkle. It was nice and refreshing until someone above decided to really get their kicks and giggles and make it start pouring. We had to pull over again to put the Jeep top up, because we were getting soaked. Kudos to Bryce for getting it up in record time! :o)
There is not a happy ending to this story. We finally got home at a little after 2pm, wet and more exhausted than ever. I think of the Violent Femmes in times like these. They weren't kidding when they sang," Life is an adventure made for an adventurer"
We hope all are well. Talk to you soon.

More pictures

I realized that I didn't put a whole ton of pictures of Bryce and I. Hope you like them!

Our Wedding Day

I know the pictures are a bit unorganized but I hope that you like them!

These are just a few of the MANY pictures that we have. Some of my favorites! We hope you enjoy them!

Our Wedding Day was perfect. We would like to thank all of the friends and family that came out to enjoy the day with us. We know that there were many friends that weren't able to come but we love you too!

Our day started off really early, 5:30 for me, about 6:00 for Bryce. By 7:10 we were at the temple. It has always been nice to go to the tmple with Bryce, but of coarse that day was really special. It was awesome to feel of God's power to bring two people together for time and all eternity.

Once we got out of the temple it was picture time. Luckily, it wasn't too hot and since we had spread the day out we could take our time and just have fun. Mary, our photographer, is really talented and so we just walked around temple square having fun!

Our luncheon was at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, it was very delicious. Afterward Bryce and I had to go shopping for a guest book. We got done earily enough to be able to take a little nap before heading up to This is the Place Heritage Park for the reception.

The ring exchange that we did right before the picnic was really short and sweet. Bishop Doug Petersen was there and gave us some good advice. Around 6:15 p.m. the ring exchange was over and everything was set up for the picnic. We told Mary just to wonder around all night and get some pictures of people having a good time. The little moments that we would miss because we were greeting everyone and as you can see she did not let us down.

I remember a moment at the picnic when I looked out and I saw everyone eating and laughing and kids running all over the place and having a good time and I was completely content with life and all of the wonderful people that make our lives so enjoyable to live.

We love each and everyone of you and wish you all the best.
