.since we've been married.




b and i were married on a friday and we started school the next day... not exactly the long relaxing blissful retreat we needed. But we were married and thats all that mattered. So we studied..
.and studied.
.and kind of studied.
.and tried to study.
Oh ya we also went on our real honeymoon(s) to Mexico which were totally AWESOME!

.the great view in Puerto Vallarta.
.hurdles in cancun.
.snorkeling at Xel-Pa.

Of course b was always doing cute fun things for me. Below he is holding up a paper from the Deal or No Deal game he set up for me on V-day! oh heee's a keeper!

We have loved basking in the newly wed glow, making new friends and leaving love notes for g-ma! All in all it was a great semester.

How it began...


About two and a half years ago I met the man i'm ecstatic to call my husband. We were in the same singles ward and had run into each other a couple times before but had never officially met. I was the one who finally had to put my hand out and say, "Hey I'm emily.. you're brady right?". When we finally went on our first date, i realized what a charming and hilarious boy this was, but i was not ready for a boyfriend. So i skipped away to college while pretending not to keep my eye on the b man.

Overtime, b became the boy that I couldn't wait to talk to every night and hopefully see on the weekends. We were soon best friends. At this time I still had my fragile '94 geo that struggled every time I went through the canyon. So b would drive all the way up to logan just to turn around and take me home again, and at the end of the weekend he would do the same thing. He was the perfect guy and looking back I don't know why he was so patient and how he waited for me to grow up.
Once I recognized what an ideal man he was- we became a couple.
and boy did we have fun times!




The top characteristics about b that made me realize i wanted to spend the rest of my life with him were :

1. his smile
2.his testimony
3.how he could make me laugh till i cried
4.how he treated me
5. how goofy he was

about 13 months after our first date he asked me to be his forever. undoubtedly i said YESSIR!
on 1.7.11 we were sealed for eternity!

best.day.ever!
