Here goes the 1st post...

So I am pretty excited to be starting a blog and sharing it with everyone. Its a Saturday so I have been sitting in bed most of the day looking at cute blog backgrounds that I can use.
I wanted to share with everyone "The story of me and Gabe."
We grew up living in the same neighborhood in Riverton, Utah. They changed ward boundaries when I was about 14 and our family moved into the ward that Gabe was in. I wasn't very happy when we switched wards, but it all worked out for the best :) Several years later, Gabe served his mission in Washington, D.C. and when he got back he looked me up on facebook. Although I was dating someone at the time, we sent messages back and forth on facebook and about 2 months later ending up going out on a date.. which led to several more. During the summer he went to work in Chicago as a security technician for Pinnacle Security. It was pretty hard for both of us, but I flew out to see him a couple times and we made it through the summer. Obviously.
We dated for a few months after he got back and it was a no brainer to both of us that we wanted to get married. Gabe proposed on September 17th and we had a lot of fun planning the wedding. It was really laid back planning.. I even made my wedding bouquet the night before we got married! We got married in between semesters of school on December 22, 2009 and have been renting out an apartment in Springville. The wedding day was wonderful, and much anticipated. Everything went smoothly.. it was a happy, fun day. That night at our reception the weather decided to dump a bunch of snow on us and we had what seemed like the biggest snow storm of the season. But lucky us! We went on our honeymoon to Scottsdale Arizona where it was nice and warm.
I'm excited to have new in-laws and to have the greatest husband there is, life is pretty great!! I am really really blessed.

Here are a couple pictures of our awesome wedding day and a few of our honeymoon:
















Enjoy!
