Well it has been exsactly one year since i met my hubby rick! our first date was to the salt lake bees game. He was so nice and so easy to be around! after the game instead of splitting we went to get ice cream and take it to the park to climb trees together. you know your ment for each other when you both come up with the idea to go to the park and find some trees to climb. We now life 1 block from our now favorite park and we are loving it!!

I know i know i'm in so much trouble
So its like getting to the climax of a good book then right before the happy ending your book falls in the tub while your reading!! I realize my last blog was right before the climax of our first story. THE WEDDING!It was everything I hoped and so much more!!! So lets start from the day before the wedding because...wow! so there was so much to do to finish our perfect reception yard which was in Rick's aunts back yard. We had everyone from both side scheduled to show up around 4:00 to finish before the decoration rental company brought everything. Well I finished my final at 9:00 and then rick and i realized we needed to powerwash the basketball court before they could set the tent up because all of the chairs and table were being placed there for the night. So we ended up powerwashing and planting last minut flowers throughout the afternoon ( so much for the manicure) but I have never been able to hold a nice manicure so...it didn't phaze me :) it ended up being so much fun and so funny because we were both so ready for the wedding to finally be here so we could be off on our plane to the sunny beaches. Well around 11:00 during the powerwashing we were dragging this HUGE HEAVY compressor up a slippery (freshly stained) side walk which was wet and both of us slipped fast and hard. I had a cell phone shaped bruse on my right butt cheek and a shattered phone! This freaked me out because I was getting all of the finalizing calls. Luckily my brother came to the rescue and had an extra phone to give me. Right when i had a working phone my cake lady called saying she finished my cake but then went into labor. So her husband left the hospital to meet rick and I at there shop to give us our cake LOL! So after we got our cake safely to its destination we split so I could finish packing for the honeymoon while he kept working hard. So while I was gone the rental company got there early with the wrong chairs,and brown and BRIGHT orange table cloths and chair sashes. so my colors are brown and green:(. I love my husband because he sent them right back to get what they needed and fixed it for me. So by the end of the night we had bruises and some crazy tan lines (me with a farmers tan and my husband with a hat line across his forehead) we were good and tired which was perfect because we both slept GREAT the night before!!
So the day was WONDERFUL! We had everyone there that we love. The temple was perfect. we spent a while in there just relaxing and soaking in what we were doing. Then we walked outside into the zoo! we got married at 2 because we figured there would be less of a croud for picks and a shorter wedding day. We had 3 families in line before us haha. Well we carpooled there with our parents and took my brothers car to the reception so we could take picks while everyone headed down to the house. Well my brother told us which slot he was parked in but not the level ( its okay bro, it makes for a good story). so there we were, tux and 50 pound gown running around the parking garage looking for our car so we werent late for our ring ceremony. Luckily an angel on a golf cart came to our rescue and drove us around to find our car. We made it there and it was beautiful. our flowers were GORGEOUS!!! My mother in law is a genious! they turned out sooo beautiful. I cant wait to post those pics. We left under sparklers and spent our first night at the Canyons in park city which was so beautiful.
So the next morning we had an early flight so we decided to leave the hotel early incase of complications....smart! because we went to our place to get our luggage and realized that since we didn't have our cars...we didn't have our keyes! i am so glad we live so close to our parents...and that there were no cops out. We made it to california safe and had the the cutest white convertable the whole week! It was so perfect. We were so close to the beach that we walked there barefoot. It was wonderful.
Thanks so much to everyone that worked so hard to make our day the best day ever! we love you guys all so much!! pics are to come...
