(and Marian- YOU are our sunshine!)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

So... the wedding did happen- i'm a married woman. :)
My photographer hasn't gotten our pictures back to us- that's why i've been holding out for a "married" post. but i decided that i'll just put those up when i get them.

This is us on the "skyride" at SeaWorld. we had SO much fun in San Diego-
we also went to Seaport village, the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Temple, Pacific Beach (we love the initials PB) and even fit in some shopping.

It was so fun to get to spend all my time with Paul and not have to be on any kind of schedule, which is so different from normal life.

We just bought a NEW CAR on Saturday!!!!
And I was just about to run outside and take pictures of it... but Paul took it to work. Those will come later.

Our adventure for this weekend- flying to Washington (state). A family that Paul baptized is going through the temple! I'm very excited.

Lots of fun in our new married life. I have fun hanging out with Paul's mom and Ellie and Will and Abby during the day, and finding things to do. But I love 4 o'clock when Paul comes home. :)

1/2 MARATHON!

I never ever thought I would say that I ran 13.1 miles..
or answer "yes" when people asked if I'm a runner.

BUT

I DID IT!!!!

The BRYCE CANYON HALF MARATHON was the place.
July 19, 2008 was the time.
The Goal? Finish in under 2:30.
The Results... FINISHED in 2 HOURS and 5 MINUTES!!!
(thanks to some good downhill and my fiance running next to me)

Here are some more pics.

oh.. and that guy on the left. My brother Eric (is awesome). He finished in 1 hour 35 minutes.
(WOW!)
the day before...

we stopped in at Bryce and took some sweet pics.





wonderful trip.

oh..
and we're getting MARRIED in 4 days!!!!!
(see. we're in mucho love.)

getting closer

It's been four months (officially on Thursday)
I'm sick sick sick of being engaged and living 224 miles from Paul.

So here's what we've been up to...
LAKE POWELL!!!

I went to Idaho Falls the last three weekends.
I wish I had pics from the 4th of July. It was SWEET.

Basically... I can't wait to finally be married to that wonderful man named Paul.
:)

Engagement Pictures!

Yay! We shot our engagement pictures on Monday. It was stormy all day and I was TERRIFIED that we would have a downpour that night. Well- the lighting ended up perfect and it was just beautiful!

Our photographer posted them on her blog-
