My first post starts today! My wonderful husband works late allot of nights, so I decided to start a blog. I sure will be glad when Brandon only works one job, so I can see him more. But I know he works so hard to provide for us :] We just got married about a month ago and I love married life!
A little about us... We both grew up here in East Idaho. When I was 16 I got a job at Primo's. A few months later Brandon was hired. I really liked him and we became friends. Then we had a year where we couldn't stand each other! Then time brought us back together and we began dating. My senior year of high school we became an "official" couple. Right after I graduated, Primo's closed. We could no longer get paid to hang out haha :]
I was planning on attending the University of Utah Honors College that fall, so we were sure that we would break up at the end of the summer. BUT then I found out that the U of U was going to cost me $30,000 a year! Thus my plans changed and I applied to BYU-Idaho. I was accepted to BYU- I right away. The Christmas before school started Brandon gave me a promise ring and we talked about getting married once I had my degree. I began college there in the Winter of 2011. Brandon stayed by my side and even drove to Rexburg every other day! When he wasn't coming to see me. I was coming to see him.
I moved up to school and... You know they call it BYU-I DO for a reason! Everyone up their is getting engaged and married!! Well the pressure began to rub off on us. We began toying with the idea of getting married sooner than planned. Although I had conditions.... Brandon had to get the priesthood and take me to the temple to be married for time and all eternity. Well I guess that sounded like pretty reasonable terms to him because in May he asked me to marry him!
Of course he asked my parents, so when we told them they already knew! My little sister Emily was soooo excited! She was set on being the "flower girl." We set the date for October 14, 2011. Then the wedding details began! Oh boy we did so many crafts for our wedding reception! I think Brandon is crafted out for life!!! lol But after all was said and done our special day finally came!
We were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on October 14. It was such a beautiful sunny day (which we were praying for because the Friday before we had yucky snow)! Our wedding day went perfect! I got up early and had my hair done at 7am, so we could be at the temple by 9am. We were supposed to be married at 10:30, but had a little delay due to miscommunication. Oh well, things got straightened out! After our sealing, my Aunt Robin took pictures for us on temple grounds. Then we went to lunch at Chuck-A-Rama with my Grandma and Grandpa Morris, Grandma Cathy from Maine, Aunt Robin, cousin Abbie, Aunt Tyra, cousin Cassidy, my Mom and Dad, sister Katie, brother JJ, and little sister Emily. Then we had time to kill before our reception. Note: we decorated and set up our reception ourselves with the help of my family and gramma Cathy the night before. Then we had our reception from 6 till 8. It was great to see all the people who supported us. And it was nice to meet more of Brandon's family.
We spent our honeymoon here in IF. We were pretty much broke from the wedding and so tired that we decided to go on a real honeymoon next summer, when I'm out for summer break. The day after our wedding we went grocery shopping! I know people think we are crazy, but all we had in our apartment was cereal and half gallon of milk! Then we went to a yummy dinner at Olive Garden. And to end the night we went to the "expensive" theater and saw Courageous. Very wonderful movie to watch as we began our journey together.
We have been very blessed since our wedding! We have a beautiful apartment, reliable cars, good jobs, great schooling/training, and best of all we have each other! Can't wait to see what other blessings the Lord has in store for us!
Don't worry I'll post some of our wedding pictures...when I figure out how to do that on my blog! lol :]
