One Year Annviersary!

One Year Of Wedded Bliss

Joshua and I had a veryy interesting (to say the least) first anniversary! It is so amazing to think we've lasted this far and it still seems like its only been a few weeks! We have been so incredibly blessed this past year as we strived to find ourselves as a married couple. It's funny because going into marriage we were expecting to fight all the time, since everyone told us it would be so hard the first year. But Joshua and I found out even more about each other that made us come closer together. There has been no doubt since the first day i laid eyes on him that we were meant to spend forever with one another and i am so grateful everyday that i get to wake up to his face. 

The week of our anniversary we suffered a huge loss.

  As unexpected as these situations most of the time are, Joshua's sweet Grandmother past away September 6, 2011. We were very lucky to have been able to fly out to Utah to go to the services and see all his family. It was the first time i got to meet his mothers family and it was fun to get to know cousins and uncles and aunts. We all came together as a family to grieve for such a wonderful woman who left us at the ripe age of only 67. She must have some wonderful work to do with our Heavenly Father to be taken so quickly from this Earth. We miss her so dearly everyday.

Botanical Gardens

So we FINALLY made it to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens! I've been wanting to go for a very long time! (since Christmas) Joshua finally took me, and my best friend Amanda was able to come as well and take some pictures of Joshua and I! We don't have all of them yet but the few we have seen are GREAT! Amanda is such a good photographer and an even better friend! We all had a blast looking at such beautiful flowers! I can't wait to go again during the Holidays :)

 

The Honeymoon!

Joshua and I had the best time on our honeymoon!! We took a five day cruise to Progresso and Cozumel, Mexico. It was beautiful to see the ocean and we were able to do some pretty amazing things!

Once we got onto the ship we did a lot of exploring, but we mostly hung out on top of the ship to enjoy the air and the gorgeous waves!

We first reached Progresso, Mexico and we had the opportunity to go hiking and see the Mayan Ruins. To be honest i was pretty miserable because it was 100% humidity and it was raining haha. But Joshua made it fun for me :)

After Progresso we spent a day on the ship until we got to Cozumel, Mexico. That by far was our favorite experience!! We went bottomless kayaking and snorkeling! We got to see dolphins and walrus' plus A LOT of fish! But trust us, the water DID NOT taste good! ;)

WE'RE MARRIED!

The day finally came! We actually tied the knot!! 

Joshua looked so handsome in his tux and i felt wonderful in my dress! We were surrounded by amazing family and friends.  It was a day we will always remember in our minds and especially our hearts. 

Joshua and I were sealed together in the Dallas Texas Temple for time and all eternity. During the ceremony we were joined by a small group of family and friends who were able to witness our union. 

Its been just short of seven months since that special day and it has been the BEST seven months of my entire life! :)
