March 7, 2009 was a great day! I woke up at 5:00 am, sat straight up and thought: I'm getting married today! I was so excited, I immediately got out of bed and started getting everything ready, I couldn't possibly sleep another moment. All of the waiting and planning was about to pay off, and it was all totally worth it- everything went just amazingly that day. When Nathan showed up at the temple that morning he looked so handsome! He smiled at me and I felt so blessed and so lucky that I was going to be the one sealed to him for time and all eternity.
Nathan and I were so excited to see so many of our friends and family show up to the temple. It was an awesome experience- the ceremony was so simple and so sweet. I cried through almost the whole thing. Luckily, my mom was prepared and brought me a tissue- and thank goodness for water proof mascara! The spirit was strong and we could feel the love our Heavenly Father and all those who were there to support us. It truly was the happiest day of our lives.
As is typical on Saturday morning, the temple was buzzing with newly married couples- so we had to wait our turn to leave the temple and getting our "exit pictures," our very pictures as husband and wife! While we were waiting I handed Nathan a little bottle of sunscreen and said "You better put this on, we're going to be out in the sun most of the day, and I would hate for you to get sunburned." One of the ladies working in the temple thought that was cutest thing- "Just married and you're already taking care of him!"
Waiting for the couple before us to finish up their pictures in front of the temple seemed like forever! I could see all our friends and family outside waiting for us to come out and I was so excited, I thought I just might pop. My sisters came inside for a couple minutes while we were waiting, and I was so happy to see them! They looked super cute in the bridesmaid dresses we had picked out. I gave them big hugs and we talked for a couple minutes, and then they headed back outside because the time had finally arrived....

These pictures were so kindly donated by my maid of honor and very best Kassi! She followed the photographer around and snapped pictures while he was shooting. Thanks Kassi!!! The professional pictures should be in a week or so.
Our Valentines Day didn't start out exactly as we had planned. We were going to get up early adn watch the sunrise, but neither Nathan or I are the greatest at getting up early- so we were a little behind schedule...It turned out to be fabulous anyway. We went on my favorite drive up the Bush Highway and stopped off at Saguaro Lake.
my Valentines presents! Nathan totally spoiled me this year. He got me a teddy bear (that smelled like chocolate), a vase that he painted himself in my two favorite colors- brown and green, a zoo membership, and a heartshaped diamond necklace!!
The necklace was gorgeous! I was excited because it match my engagement ring perfectly! It was white gold with 8 small diamonds. 
The flowers were beautiful too! Nathan knows I don't like roses, so he got me mostly daisies (my favorite flower.) He told me that he would love me until the last flower wilted.
Tigers...
Bears...
oh my!!
Yee-haw!!
the monkey wanted our butterfinger- he kept waving at us! it was cute.
It was a fun day. =)
