Inspiring

Lately I feel very inspired by the amazing people I have in my life.  I am so grateful for everyone. As of lately I feel like many people have been accomplishing great things in their life.  It makes me feel so blessed to have such great people in my life.  It also helps me be more positive and focusing on what is going for me right now.

+Firstly to my sister Becca.  I love you so much and I am so proud of you.  You have become your own person and are comfortable with who you are.  You are seriously my best friend.  I am so proud that you stand up for what you feel and what are your standards.  It shows a lot of courage and bravery.  I look up to you so much.

+My husband.  You are the most forgiving and kind person I have ever known.  Even when I am in a terrible mood and being absolutely horrific towards you, you still are kind to me and say nice things to me. Thank you for working so hard to support us.  Thank you for going to school to get a higher education and someday a degree to get a higher paying job.  I can't even describe how much love I have for you.  I am so happy we found each other.

+My Mother.  You already have your PHD and you are going to more school and busting your butt to become a marriage and family therapist.  You want to help the world work out their problems and make more people have a more happy life.

+My Father.  For all the curveballs you have been thrown in life you keep going strong.  You have had every reason to give up on everything, but instead you go into it head first and have it make you stronger.  You will do anything for you wife and family.  You know the true meaning of work.

+My two little sisters Emily and Sarah.  You both are getting so big.  It is amazing and so scary to me to look at you and see where you are at in your life.  You are both so beautiful.  Don't ever think otherwise.  I wish I had had an other sister to tell me how beautiful I really was.  Keep your happy and smiling spirits and everyone will come to you and want to be your friends.

+My friends.  You are all doing so much in your life.  Getting Married.  Going to school.  Having Children.  Going on Missions.  I can't believe where we are all at.  Its amazing.

+To my cousin and best friend Taryn.  You have always been there for me threw the thick and the thin.  I know I can tell you anything and no matter what you will be there for me and support me in anyway.  Especially when I was dating Tyler. I always have a good time with you.  I always want to tell you every little detail in my life and you always listen.  I am so happy that you have found Zane.  You are truely happy and I can see you really care for each other.

+My extended family.  I know you guys love me and are there.  I am so grateful for the relationships I have been able to have with you and get to know you.

+Finally myself.  I am working hard and going to school.  Even though life gets tough I stick it through.  I know there is no such thing as coincidences and that everything I experience, everyone I meet, and everything I do is there to make me, ME.

-Dr. Suess 

Culinary School Drop Out

Yes. 

I am very unsure at what a want at this time in my life. 

I thought I wanted to make my hobby a job.

I was wrong.

Cooking all day everyday...

Yeah, makes me hate my hobby.

So I left Culinary School.

Yep.

I have decided to continue with my Psych degree.

Hoping someday; 

I can be a family and child therapist.

But don't worry it only takes six years.

Can't Sleep?

So as we are newlyweds it is great to slowly find out the wonderful weird things we didn't know about our spouse.  You are on you honeymoon and then to find out your husband isn't as perfect as you thought.  I mean he has morning breath and he is a total blanket stealer.  Also he likes to sleep on a diagonal on the bed.

At first you are lovey dovey newly weds and you are so sweet to each other.  Then:  Honey did you know you steal all the blankets at night?  Now:  You stupid poo quit stealing the blankets at night you freakin' wiener! Then:  Honey did you know you are a bed hog and sleep on a diagonal?  Now:  See this line?  This is the divider.  This is your side and this is my side.  We can snuggle on the line but if your feet end up where mine should be i'll pee and poo on them and then cut them off! Deal?

Tyler also sleeps like a rock.  He mine as well be dead once he is asleep.  And once he is asleep the blanket hogging diagonal sleeper returns.  The other problem is I am such a light sleeper.  I wake up to almost anything.  Then he wonders why I like to sleep in on the weekends.

The great thing about this all is I have a sleeping.... lets call it a sleeping malfunction that just is so great that we end up even.  For some reason when I scream in my dreams, I scream out loud in real life in my sleep.  And let me tell you it is not a little scream it is like a blood curdling scream that would be on a horror movie, or you would hear if someone was being murdered.  I only know this from what I've been told and how bad my throat hurts the next day.  I guess what I do is called a night terror and I have no control of it.

I told Tyler about my little night terrors so he would be forewarned.  Because if I didn't and one happened it would not only have been mean, but maybe funny.  Don't worry though, because the first time it happened it was hilarious.  And the second.  And the third time hasn't happened yet.  But I'm sure it will be funny too.

Anyways the story is pretty simple.  I screamed bloody murder and scared the shiz out of Tyler.  He woke up screaming and he was so scared.  (I am laughing right now remembering it)  Because of all his screaming, it woke me up and I just laughed and laughed and laughed at him.  He then regains his manlyness and says "What the HECK were you screaming at?  You are so dumb.  QUIT laughing at me.  You scared the shiz out of me.  Please stop laughing.  Don't laugh harder.  Just quit laughing at me. It wasn't that funny.  Me: hahahahahahahaha you should have seen your face!!!

I was free from being in trouble for it being a practical joke.  Because remember I had forewarned him of my night terrors.  And I got a non purpose joke out of it I guess you could say.  I still laugh about it and it was pee your pants funny.

Moral of the story.  Of course we still love each other.  Of course I really do draw a line down the middle of our bed.  And I think before you get married you should be "forewarned" of how difficult it is to get sleep when you are getting used to someone's sleeping "malfunctions"

Hopeful

So like I have mentioned previously I am going to Culinary School! Wahoo! I love cooking and food and new I would actually enjoy school.  I have two classes right now for the summer semester, one online class and one regular. 


Okay so pretty much the regular class is pretty boring.  I have to learn about how to cook food before I actually get to do it. LAME.  It is easy enough. Show up for class. Listen to the lecture. Do homework. Take a quiz.  Super Easy and simple.  However, my online class is a different story.  My online class is original a 12 week course, but I am taking the condensed 5 week version.  Online classes already suck.  You have to figure it all out, and actual read all your textbook.  But when you take a condensed online class, it just sucks even more.


My life has pretty much been revolving around my online class.  Which is so lame.  I have know completed my first week of it thought.  The verdict is rather quite happy, I have a complete 100% in the class. Yes I have earned ever point possible.  I just need to keep it up and make it through.


Tyler started school the same day as me, and with him having school and work my time seeing him has greatly decreased :( I miss him so much.  He is at work and school all day long and then when we are home together we are both usually doing homework.  Even though this is so sad and depressing, when we do have those times where we can just be with each other and joking around they are better than ever. 


This week I had a lovely job interview, and it went rather well I thought.  Hopefully I will get the job, which is in great need.  


I guess that is what happens when you decide to get married, you got to go out into the real world and survive.  In the end, if you work hard, it will pay off........ hopefully. 

Love Story Chapter Tres

Okay now where did we leave off? Oh yes we were both 19 could we get married.  Little did I know Tyler was debating on proposing to me in Disneyland.  Which he felt like it wasn't the time yet.  We returned from all of our summer vacations and started up school and working full time.


Now comes the part in a relationship were it either makes or breaks.  We had started arguing a lot over stupid things.  It seemed as if my fairytale relationship was going to come crashing down.  After a lot of weird tension we decided to have a talk.  We didn't know why we weren't getting along.  We didn't know anymore if we were supposed to get married.  We didn't know if we were ready to get married.  We just were unsure of what was going to happen.  


After about a five hour conversation and almost breaking up, we decided we both needed to sleep and think on if we decided if we could live with each other forever and if we could live without each other.  I know right. Heartbreaking.  The worst night of my life.  I cried and cried and cried.  I didn't want anyone to be involved to in anyway affect my decision.  I was also scared to hear Tyler's decision.  It would be so hard if we decided different things.  


Of course we decided we loved each other.  That we didn't know why there was such tension.  But we knew we wanted to be together.  After that horrible but magical talk.  Horrible because at the time my heart was being ripped apart, but magical because of what it did for our relationship.  


After that I believe we realized we could lose each other.  That our love road was a two way street and the other one could choose to go another way if they really wanted to.  That after everything we came to an understanding that we were both feeling the same way. 


Our relationship greatly improved.  It was incredible.  That talk was truly magical.  The arguing stopped.  Our love became even more passionate.  It was so magical that two months later Tyler got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.  

A weekend move and party

Let me just start out by saying this weekend was so busy!

1. We moved out of our apartment in 2 days.

2. We moved all of our un-needed stuff into a storage unit.

3. We moved all of our needed things into our new home.

4. Our new home is with Aunt Shelly and Uncle Tracy.

5. My sister had a huge sweet sixteen birthday party.

6. We had to deep clean the apartment. 

May I start out by saying, 

me and my husband have now learned that moving takes longer then two days.

So start packing earlier then two days.

Or else your moving will really suck then moving already does.

Yes, we successfully got moved in two days.

How you might ask? 

Then answer is I have no freakin' idea, but hey it worked.

And might I add, with a very minimum amount of arguing over stupid things.

After we moved we moved our un-needed items into a storage unit.

(Which I let Tyler be in charge of getting.)

Our storage unit was on the second floor. 

And we probably could have used a bigger one.

After everyone who was helping us moved had told Tyler numerous times that they were going to:

A. Kick his ass

or

B. Kill him

It ended up have this massive elevator,

These nice dolly things to load things on,

and,

It somehow all fit in our storage unit.

My wonderful beautiful sister had her sweet sixteen party!

Might I add she throws a kick ass sweet sixteen.

It was so fun to meet all of her friends and the boys she talks about.

She received the best funniest present of all,

four of the football player boys 

came out,

danced,

ripped off their shirts,

reveling their football bodies,

and then,

danced for her some more.

Yep I'll say pretty awesome present.

Other than that it was a pretty normal teenage party.

Then comes the we have to clean the apartment to get our deposit back.

Pretty convincing reason to clean your ass off right?

So we cleaned and cleaned and cleaned.

And cleaned.

Hopefully we did a good enough job to get our full deposit back.

Tyler is going in today to check it off and see!

So wish us luck.

Tyler's Birthday

Yesterday was my wonderful husbands birthday.  I asked him to get the day off.  But NO. Now that he is a "grown up" you don't get your birthday off.  Of course. 


Well as I sat at home on my husbands birthday trying to figure out what to plan.  I try talking to him and asking what he wants, what he wants to do, what he wants to eat.  And what do I get. NOTHING. He is so opinionated every other day on what he wants.  But of course the day everyone does his wishes, he doesn't have an opinion. 


Eventually I went to pick him up from work and try and figure out what exactly he wanted to do.  I started out by taking him to Hallmark.  Tyler has this obsession with Disney.  He wants to work for them someday doing movies.  He also collects Disney anything.  I found Hallmark has a Disney collection that is really nice.  Not only that, but he can put it up in our home and it wont look too tacky.  


I ended up getting him this. 

He was so happy :D

We then decided to go to dinner at the Red Iguana.  It is a little Mexican joint in downtown Salt Lake.  It has been featured on Food Networks: Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.  It is traditional Mexican food.  They are known for their mole. (pronounced MOH-lay) 

Tyler got their mole amarillo.  Which is might I say the spiciest thing I have ever tasted.  And not to mention the spiciest thing Tyler has ever eaten, Tyler is a spicy food finatic.  He loves it and it can never get hot enough for him.  The sauce is put with chicken and then eaten on tortillas. I got their tacos don ramon.  So GOOD! Crispy type taco shell with homemade chorizo, lettuce, pico de gallo, cotija cheese, and an avocado sauce. 

My Tacos! YUMMY!!

Tyler's Mole Amarillo

The Red Iguana

I would recommend this place to anyone! 

We went to my parents house and Tyler wanted to play wii sports resorts golf with my dad.  Tyler got an unexpected birthday present which was a hole in one in golf.  He got so excited and still is talking about it.  It is quite funny. 

All in all the day turned out pretty good.  And my husband was a happy boy on his birthday :D

What is new?

So many crazy things are in abundance in mine and Tyler's life,

lets start making the list.

*We are both going to new colleges.

Tyler in the same program,

I am now transferring to Culinary Program

*With the new school means new place. 

We are moving. GAG

*We sold our apartment.  

Yep in that short amount of time it is sold.

1 day I tell you, 1 day it was on KSL and now it is sold.

And the sooner we get out the more money we get back.....

predicament, I think yes.

*We do not have a new place to live.  

*My wonderful husbands birthday is tomorrow.

Any great gift ideas?

*We have become very adventurous lately.

Going on a lot of hikes.  

I do think this might come to a stop.

Due to the lovely occurrence that happened on Saturday.

Which leads me to my story,

This hike went from heavenly bliss, to holy shit.

This past lovely Saturday we decided to go hiking.

We were going to the hot springs/waterfalls up Spanish Fork Canyon.

We did our research. 

It looked beautiful and fun, 

we would hike then swim and hike back.

The hike up was so pretty.

We saw so many waterfalls the whole way there.

When we were almost there my big toes started hurting.

Yes I thought nothing of it, my feet were just hot and getting a little blister.

We arrived to the beautiful hot pots and waterfall.

Pretty right?? 

Let me tell you it did not smell even close to pretty.

Well I remove my shoes and yep my toes were attacked by my shoes.

No blister, just rubbed them raw to the point of almost bleeding.

There was no way I had hiked all those 2.5 miles to not get in this water.

Mistake number 1. 

I GOT IN.

In this smelly water with open wounds.

When I first got in it stung, but all wounds hurt when they get wet.

Mistake number 2.

I stayed in even though they kept stinging. 

Yes, I know. What was I thinking?

 Well finally we decided to go.

My wonderful husband gave me his socks,

to add cushion to prevent more rubbing my skin even more raw.

Mistake number 3.

I had only eaten one single hot pocket that day.

Is that enough to get you energy to survive a 5 mile hike.

No way.

I immediately realized I had no energy and knew this was going to SUCK.

*My toes hurt, BAD

* I had zero energy

* I was hungry

* I was wet

*I was thirsty

* I was grumpy

* It was getting dark

* It was getting cold

With these factors soon this hike was no longer fun.

My legs were numb.

I started crying from so much pain in my toes.

Real fast, Toes are dumb.

When you hurt them they hurt really bad.

You know when you stub them, and you swear.

Because it hurts so freakin' bad.

Toes are dumb.

Finally we reached our car. 

Yes I made it out of some miracle.

We got in the car and got warmed up.

Then it hit me.

Mistake number 4. 

I hiked 2.5 miles in wet shorts.

That equals one word.

CHAFED LEGS.

I had no idea my legs were getting chafed because they were numb.

So when they warmed up I knew, it was bad.

Now not only were my two big toes hurting, 

Now I had my inner thighs extremely chafed.

Those of you who have not experienced severe chafing.

You are luckily.

Those of you who have.

God bless you.

I went home and took the most miserable shower of my life.

It stung my toes and chafed legs the whole time.

I cried.

Then I went to bed.

You know when you go to sleep you don't feel your pain.

That was my strategy.

Well I woke up with the pain still there.

Which included, two big toes, now not only rubbed raw sores, but now infected.

(From getting in the egg smelling water)

And chafing that was so bad, it had started to bleed.

To all of you that are thinking.

Wow this girl is a wimp. 

Let me tell you I have definitely had my fair share of painful situation in life,

and this one is just plain miserable.

With other things it only hurt to do certain movements of certain things.

These hurt to do anything.

Especially the chafed legs.

Here is a list of things that causes me pain

*Showering

*Peeing

*Pooping

*Walking

*Moving

*Pretty much anything

except sitting and not moving.

Let us just say, that hike and me are not friends.

I don't know if I would give it a second chance. 

Many things were learned from this experience.

*Do not get in egg smelling water with a open wound.

*Do not hike 2.5 miles in wet shorts.

Yep that is the moral of the story.  

The one thing I wish I could learn is how to heal chafed skin.

Any ideas anyone?

Love Story Chapter Dos

Where did we leave off? Oh yes, when I wasn't going to see Tyler for a number of days.  Due to the lovely Valentines Day at the Bakery. And I did not receive a kiss from Tyler, just found out he thought I was a good person.

So the next four days of hell began.  Wednesday-Saturday.  Getting up at three in the morning and working until eleven that night.  Definitely was hell.  Me and Tyler talked a little bit, but I was so busy at the bakery and so tired when I got home, so not much talking took place. Tyler had talked about doing something Saturday night for Valentines day if I got home early enough. (Even though Valentines Day wasn't until Sunday) I wanted to do something with him so bad.  So I hurried so much that day!

I got home around nine and my family was acting suspicious.  Did I know why? Nope, not a single clue.  I had been talking to Tyler and he was going to come get me as soon as I was ready to do something.  As I went upstairs to my bedroom to get ready there was the most wonderful surprise for me.  Tyler had decorated my room with roses and my favorite candy.  With his very own handmade and hand drawn card asking me to be his valentine.  As I turned around, there he was standing in the door way with more roses, looking handsome as ever.  This boy :)

I hurried and showered and got ready to go be with this boy and decide what to do for Valentines day.  Even though in all truth I was so extremely tired, I wanted to be with him.  We chose to stay at my house, because I had zero energy to go anywhere. 

It was the best night ever.  We just sat on the couch and snuggled and talked for hours about so many things.  It finally got late enough, that my eyes were so heavy I had not the slightest idea how I was still awake.  I walked Tyler out to his car to say goodnight.  This night was a good night.  It was Valentines day.  I had the best night ever, and yes Tyler finally kissed me. 

The official dating began.  We started meeting extended family.  Saw each other almost everyday.  Always wanted to be together. 

About three months after we started dating.  One night Tyler pronounced his love to me and that he could see himself marrying me.  It was so wonderful, but we could not get married.  Not now, we were far too young.  Both of us only 18. 

We continued dating, and knowing that eventually we would want to get married.  I went with him and his family to their trip to Oregon.  We went to San Fransisco with his sister Jessi.  He went with me and my family to Disneyland.  Which happened to be during his birthday.... am I the best girlfriend or what?  Disneyland for his birthday.  Heck yes I was the best girlfriend of all. 

Now we were both 19.  Could we get married now?

Love Story Chapter Uno

Well first to start this wonderful story it is the beginning of February 2010.  I was working as a baker at Smart Cookie Company and lets just say my life was pretty pathetic.  With working 50 hours a week and having to wake up at four in the morning I didn't get around to do anything.  I had graduated from high school the last year and was working to get some money saved up.

 I came home one day after a long days of baking thousands of cookies.   When I came home my sister had her friend over Kayla Gogan.  After talking it was decided that Kayla was going to set me up with her brother Tyler.  HA you know how those things work.  They don't.  So I just blew it off

I couple days later my sister informed me that they had given Tyler my number.  HA again you know how these type of things work. They don't.  So once again I just blew it off.  Then the unexpected happened.  Yep I got a text message, not as good as a phone call, but hey it was working somewhat.

After days of pointless texting he finally decided to call and as me on a date.  Except he didn't really ask me on a date.  I was asked hey you want to go play today?  What on earth? Go play? Who does this boy think he is.  After a lot of talk with my girlfriends and mom, I decided to go.  I was so nervous.  I had never met this boy had no idea what he looked like or how he was.  Pretty much a blind date, no what a lets go play.... this boy.

He came and picked me up and well what do you know he was cute and didn't smell bad.  This date was already going well, if it even was a date.  We immediately started talking and it was so easy to talk to each other.  It ended up being the best first date of all time. (Clarification: I realized it was a date when he payed for my ice cream, and well treated it like a date) Of going and getting ice cream and hanging out in Ikea.  We talked for hours and hours late into the night.  The chemistry was definitely there.

Yes this is an actual picture of our first date.  It was
taken on Tyler's phone.

We already were wanting to see each other constantly.  We got along so well we didn't even have to try to talk or come up with something to do.  The hand holding and snuggling began.  It was now February 10th and I wouldn't be seeing Tyler for a couple of days.  Valentines day was approaching at the bakery and let me just tell you it is complete HELL. Working 18 hours a day, yeah I would say HELL.  I had so many orders and so many people come in for gifts it is unbelievable.  Who would have known.  Valentines day is apparently the time you order thousands of cookies and buy cookies.  

As I was saying my goodbye to Tyler for the next couple of days I thought for sure he was going to kiss me.  I was pretty darn sure.  All the signs were there.  And I wanted to kiss him.  As we said a long goodnight I finally left to go inside to my house.  On my way up the driveway I was thinking I can't believe he didn't kiss me! Well halfway up the driveway Tyler says "Jenn, wait come here." This was it he was going to kiss me.  I went back and he hugged me and looked at me for a really long time then he said, "Jenn, your a good person."  Then he got in his car.  What the heck? I'm a good person? No kiss? This boy. 

Honeymooners

THE HONEYMOON

Tyler's Father's side was so generous enough to give us a wonderful night at the Castle Creek Inn before we headed to our destination the next day. We stayed in the Rapunzel's Tower room and it was so fantastic!

The next day we were to head to VEGAS.  Our midway stop to our final destination. As we left our car I noticed somehow all the oreos that were put on our car had suddenly disappeared during the night.  As we drove I came to realize little frosting foot prints all over our car and windows. Some lovely little animal came out of the trees and had a wonderful feast on our window stuck car oreos.

The drive to Vegas was long, but so great.  Tyler is so wonderful and drove the whole time.  It consisted of me sleeping, waking up and eating snacks and having good laughs, then me falling asleep again. 

When we got to Vegas we stayed at the Circus Circus.  Let me just tell you. WORST ROOM EVER. Definitely not the highlight of this honeymoon.  We ended up going to dinner and just roaming around wherever we felt like.  We got an awesome painting of our last name.

The next day we headed to our Final Destination DISNEYLAND.  The car ride was again the exact same.  It was so good to finally arrive and I was very pleased with our room this time.  It was great.

We then proceeded to take on Disneyland.  It was so great we were able to have a lot of fun, even though it was quite hot and the lines were long.  We were pretty awesome thought because we got to see the inside of the Matterhorn.  It broke down as we were at the very tippy top.  Then once we were rescued by a Disneyland worker we got to see the whole inside of the ride as we walked down.  Yeah that is right be jealous. 

When our Disneyland adventures came to an end we headed home.  We drove straight through this time.  I didn't want to stay in another stupid room in Vegas.  We got to watch amazing lightning storms all the way home though!

Then it is back to the real world starting our married lives together.

The Perfect Day

I can not even describe how perfect and beautiful our wedding day was.  I started out the day bright and earlier to go get my hair and make-up done by Lindsey and Sunny.  Which I may say they did such an amazing job.  I've never felt so beautiful in my life.  From there my parents came to pick me up to go to the temple.  They also had Tyler with them and it was so great to see him.  On the car ride up to the temple everyone was feeling so much emotion.  I especially was so nervous, but so excited to marry Tyler.  

We got to the temple and did all of the check in stuff.  Before we got sealed Tyler and I were able to go to the celestial room for a good little while.  It was nice to be with Tyler and sit in a nice calm spiritual place before all the buisiness of the day began.  We had such an incredible time sitting and talking to each other.  Then we went into the sealing room and so many wonderful people were there for us.  I was such a baby all day long so I immediatley started crying.  Our sealer was so great he did such an amazing job talking to us before.  Everyone commented on how that was the best sealing they had ever been too.  After the sealing we were able to hug everyone and see them.  It was so great to have so much love and support there for us.  Tyler and I then went our seperate ways to get into our wedding day attire to go take pictures outside. 

 When we went outside the temple there were so many people out there yelling for us and to greet us.  With just being inside the quiet temple at first it was extemely overwhelming.  We were able to take lots of great pictures with the family.  Then after do mine and Tyler's pictures.  We had such much fun walking around the temple grounds together and talking with our wonderful photographer Joe with Creativ Productions.  He did such a wonderful job in taking great pictures and keeping the day great and happy.  At first I was a little stressed because it was very windy outside.  Then Joe reminded me our engagements and my bridal pictures it was extremely windy also, and those turned out amazing! Then I was able to just go with the flow and smile pretty. :) 

 After our pictures we left to go the lucheon.  We had the luncheon at the church by my house.  The Relief Society set it up and decorated and Tyler's mom and sisters did the food.  It was absolutely perfect!  My wonderful cousin David played beautiful music on the Piano.  It was very calm and relaxing.  Then I had Tyler's sister Kayla sing mine and Tyler's song to him.  She did such an amazing job and of course that made me cry too.  Soon after my Uncle Rob and Aunt Leslie also sang me and Tyler a song, and yes I did cry again.  After the luncheon I went back to my house to freshen up before we went to the ring ceremony, more pictures, and the reception.  

We had our reception at the Stake Center and had Legacy Weddings come in and decorate.  When I got there it was even better than I had ever pictured.  It was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  We then did our ring ceremony for those who were not able to attend our temple sealing.  My bishop, Bishop Bassett, did the ceremony.  He did such a great job in describing what type of things went on in the temple and including those who weren't able to come.  After that we again took some more pictures with family and friends.  Then we started the reception.  It was so great to have so many people come to see us.  A lot of people came that I hadn't even expected! We both felt so much love and support for everyone.  

Soon after the line started dying down, Mr. Tyler decided he was done being in a wedding line and precided to leave.  Even though most of the people had come and gone through the line, some people who came through we would have to go find Tyler so they could see him.  It was actually very funny, and made me decide I was all done with the line. :)  

Then came the all waiting cutting of our cake.  If you don't know me and Tyler very well we are VERY competitive especially with each other.  I kindly told Tyler that if he was nice to me I would be nice to him, and that if he shoved it in my face he would get it 100 times worse.  Yes, you guessed it Tyler procceded to shove cake in my face, it wasn't too bad, but with my competitive self I shoved it ALL OVER Tyler's face.  His whole face was now smeared in cake and frosting.  It was great, even though I did feel I little mean after seeing the damage I had done with cake EVERYWHERE.  Then to follow we did the bouquet and garter toss which was super great and fun. 

 We had some dancing and our wonderful DJ Tyler's Uncle Tracy.  He did such a great job.  Then something suspicous started happening.  I could not find Tyler, then at that moment I knew he was up to something.  He finally appeared and they put a chair in the middle of the dance floor and asked me to come sit on it.  Tyler then started thanking everyone for coming and went off on how great the day was and how great it was.  I could tell he was extremely nervous.  I could tell he was starting to stall a little because of his nervousness.  Then they started Michael Jackson's song The Way You Make Me Feel.  This was so important because Tyler loves Michael Jackson, and Tyler is very good at hitting the high notes when he is singing along to him.  I mean he is really good!  I would always ask Tyler to do it for other people, but he never would, and now he was.  It was probably on my top five moments of the wedding day.  It was extremely sweet but so hilarious at the same time.  He also added his own choreography to it which my I add was funny and embarrassing, especially since he made it quite seductive and my grandparents were there. 

 After that we continued the dancing, and Tyler and I realized how tired we were and we were ready for the night to come to an end.  We played one last song and it was Journey's Faithfully.  My parents were dancing and they were both crying.  It was the most precious thing ever.  It made me and Tyler cry too.  It was a great moment of crying.  Tyler kept telling me sweet things while we were dancing.  Tyler and I then went and changed into some sweats to leave and everyone went outside make a tunnell of bubbles for us to run out in.  Of course with our family our car was very very decorated and the theme seemed to be flamingo's.  I'm not sure if there was supposed to be hidden meaning behind it that I never got.  Then all my sister's starting crying when I was leaving, it was so cute.  We procceded to leave for our HONEYMOON! :) Which is another chapter of our lives.
