It's a wonderful life...

I know it has been a long time, it was a busy summer for me! I planned a wedding, attended many bridal showers and engagement parties, finished my Teaching English Language Learners minor, and spent time with family and other fun things. I did not have much time for anything else! But it was a very enjoyable summer :) Mike and I were finally married on August 15th, the day after he graduated. I am very proud of him and jealous that he is finished, but feel bad for him because now he has to wait for me to finish school until he can start his new job. I would think that would be awesome, but most of the time he just watches me do my homework or distracts me from my homework, haha. Anyway, back to our wedding. It was perfect. We really couldn't have asked for our to be any smoother or more beautiful. We loved to see all our family and friends and were amazed at how supported we were. We felt so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. I could go on and on about the wedding day, but I have a lot to catch up on...so here are some pictures :) If you're my facebook friend, ALL of our pictures are on there, so feel free to check it out!

Next, is our honeymoon in HAWAII! It was my first time to go there and it was Mike's first time to be back since the mission. Yes, he served in Hawaii for 2 years and he loved it :) We really enjoyed ourselves on Big Island and kept ourselves busy. We went to a real Luau, a dinner cruise, snorkeling, hung out by the pool with smoothies, hiked waterfalls and ate at lots of local restuarants that had wonderful live music...Hawaiian people can sing! Our favorite part was the snorkeling. It was just so amazing to be swimming right next to tropical fish and the scenery underwater was breath taking! I also enjoyed attending church at a ward Mike served in almost 4 years ago. He didn't think many people would recognize him, boy was he wrong! He impacted that ward and was a favorite to many (I can totally understand why too!). They were so kind to us and I feel in love with the Hawaiian culture. Hawaii really is as amazing as everyone says it is and we highly recommend it :)
