4 year Anniversary picture and Family pics

 I just LOVE photography and photo traditions. I'm so glad I started this Anniversary photo tradition on my and Preston's first Anniversary. It's something I look forward to doing every year and I know that Preston does too. We started by holding our wedding photo on our first anniversary and every year since we hold the picture from the year before. It's a cool way to see how we will grow old together and I love having a reason to take a family picture every year. We put up 8x10's of each picture underneath the big frame on a wall in our house and we call it the Anniversary Wall. It gets better every year! 

Its so fun to have pictures with Jaxson now too and I kind of wish I would have thought to have him in the picture frame picture with us. But then again I kind of love that it will always be a picture tradition for just me and Preston to commemorate the wonderful years of our marriage! 

I can't believe I've been married to this wonderful, amazing, supportive man for 4 years now! It's gone by so fast but then again it seems like its been longer since I feel like my life truly began when we got married. I will always cherish these pictures, I hope we can continue this tradition for many many more years, if not all of them! 

a MAJOR update!

So! I've been married for almost 5 months! Crazy! It's gone by so fast, and the best part is it's been the BEST FIVE MONTHS of my life! Being married isn't at all scary like I thought, it's like having a never ending sleep over with your best friend!

We had a wonderful, amazing wedding.....

and reception.....

and an incredible honeymoon!!!!

It was all so much fun, everything I hoped it would be, aside from the fact that I did get pretty sick for awhile on the cruise :-/ but anyway, we are currently living in my in laws basement apt. for FREE! $$$$!!!! Which is the most wonderful opportunity to save money and its definitely the nicest place we could ask for in our price range, which is basically nothing. haha

In other news! Our first Christmas Holidays together were so much fun! we spent Thanksgiving with his family and Christmas with mine!

and now we both have started school again at UVU. I'm taking 18 credits and he's taking 15. School sucks. And we're both working. So nights after 6:30 and weekends are my favorite because we get to hang out together :-]

Well this is the most blogging i've done in like 5 months so until next time!

whenever that may be....

I'm getting married in the....(8 mornings from today) MORNING! =]

Oh this is fun! So I've sucked majorly and big time at the "picture blog" but I'm sitting here super bored at work and I have a lot I can post about!

I'm Marrying my best friend in 8 days!!!!!!!!!

So we are getting married on

September 1st 2011

in the Los Angeles temple at 10:30 am

So these are not our rings. Preston's is more manly looking and mine is beautiful!

This is kinda what my bouquet will look like

I'm really excited to marry Preston. I'm kind of scared about such a huge commitment and quite honestly it really doesn't feel real. I guess I always thought that when I was gonna get married I would just feel a lot differently. I don't feel grown up enough to get married. Not really. I don't feel like I've done enough planning and worrying and freaking out about the wedding as you always see on shows and "Bridezillas" and everything. I feel like I've barely planned anything! Which is kind of sad I guess. Maybe it would have felt more real if I had to freak out about feeling like everything has to be PERFECT, I haven't really cared about much....haha I've been more freaked out about the actual marriage itself than anything else! I'm just scared for that huge commitment!! I just have to keep telling myself, its Preston and he is everything I didn't know I wanted, and everything I need. He's my best friend and he matches with me perfectly. I also am mostly just worried about if I'm gonna look good on my wedding day! I just got my hair dyed yesterday and I feel like it looks super super blonde barbie play boy bunny ish. but hopefully it will calm down. I'm going to Bakersfield on Thursday with Linda, even though we probably won't get there till Friday and then my Bridal Shower (second one) is that night. Then I'll probably just be doing a bunch of stuff to clean and get ready for the reception.. and Then Wednesday next week we'll have to get our marriage license and then drive down to LA to get my endowment out and then Thursday we'll get sealed, we're staying in a Hotel on the beach in Santa Monica thanks to my wonderful Grandma, then Friday is the Reception and Saturday we're flying to Miami and staying the weekend till monday at 5pm when our cruise for the BAHAMAS leaves :) ah! I can't wait! I've never been anywhere cool! haha I can't wait to go to Miami! and I can't wait to be with Preston for a week straight!

I'M SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

I really can't believe its already here! then I'll have a super hot husband that I get to be with for eternity! Well I'm kind of out of things to say for now...I feel weird cause this is exactly like a journal entry and I've also discovered that I am a super boring blogger. Maybe I should just make this a private blog from now on.
