Life in all its Brilliance

Our Wedding!!

Well, we did it. We finally tied the knot. Greg and I were married April 11th in the Boise Temple. Naturally, it was an amazing day! The weather was beautiful, the reception was gorgeous, and everything went perfectly as planned. We want to thank everyone that was there to support us, it was amazing to see the sealing room filled with our families and loved ones.

Our Honeymoon!

Greg and I went on a Baja Cruise for our honeymoon. It was a ton of fun! It quickly became the most relaxing vacation either of us have been on. We enjoyed the sites of Cabo San Lucas and

Ensenada as well as the many exciting things the cruise ship had to offer.

Us on the ship as it was departing from San Diego.

This was our favorite part of the cruise. We stopped in Cabo for the day and found an island called Lovers Beach. It was gorgeous! A little water taxi took us out to it. On one side of the island is the Pacific Ocean the other side is the Sea of Cortez.

This was one of my favorite things to do on the cruise. We didn't go broke though, Greg would only let me play the nickle slots.

This old guy offered to take our picture with his donkey, we weren't really thinking and went ahead and let him. He then demanded almost 5 bucks!! Naturally Whit argued and only paid him 2. But we really like the pic. The hats match us well, Whitney is super sexy and the word on my hat means drunk. What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico!

A Guy, A Girl and Three Years Later!

Greg and I met in High School our senior year. We were in the same math class and a little while later, the same ward. Ironically, we hated each other but eventually fell in love.

Greg's Mission....

Greg was called to the Arizona Tucson Mission. He left on September 28th 2008 and loved every minute of it. Here are some pics to prove it!

This is how the sunset looks every night

in Arizona! How romantic!

While Greg was gone....

I hung around home for a while working, attended a semester of school at BYU-I, moved to Utah and taught English in China. Here are some pics of my adventures in China!

At the Summer Palace in Beijing

I lived in a city called Guilin. It was the most beautiful place I have seen. There are green jagged hills everywhere! They look like Dr. Seuss hills.

My Girls! They were so much more fun out of class!

We stopped in Hong Kong a couple of times and on our way out we

went to Disney Land!! It was such a blast!

Reunited...

We went on our first date and a few months later..

We were engaged!

On Christmas Eve we went to Greg's house to exchange gifts. He had this huge box wrapped for me. Inside were several more wrapped boxes. I finally got to the one in this picture. He used an enitre roll of duct tape to wrap it. It took forever to unwrap! (I'm pretty sure he did it that way so he could have extra time to think about what he was doing) I eventually got to the inside of the box where I found a pink bear and on the bear was the ring. I did'n expect it, but I was so excited, when Greg got down on his knee to ask me I ripped the ring out of his fingers and said yes!
