Wedding Pictures!

Okay so here is a post of a bunch of the wedding photos! I'm not really going to write much on it just go ahead and post the pictures! There are lots and lots more but these are some of my favorites! Thank you so much for everybody that was a part of our special day and for how helpful everyone was!

A little bit of catch up!

I really haven't blogged in so long! Mike and I got engaged in June shortly after my last post and since then things have been very busy! We just got married this past Saturday and are honeymooning in St. George, Utah now. Mike is sick and sleeping a lot but it's still nice to be away! It's really a surreal thing to be married but it's so great! He is really funny about it, he always calls me wife or playing with both of our rings. I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the photographer. I really want to see how some came out! I made my own wedding cake and really want to see the pictures of that! Tina took our engagements and my bridals and did such an awesome job even though she was really nervous! (WHICH SHE SHOULDN'T BE!) Here are a few of my favorites!


We took a few with Mike's Martin guitar that I bought him for a birthday/engagement present! It was so fun buying it for him because it was one of his dream guitars to own! :)


As you can see it kept raining all day but we stayed pretty lucky!


We were kind of confused on what we were doing with this frame for awhile but it was such a cute idea and all of them turned out so cute!


Probably one of my favorite closeups!


This was the other one with frames and she put different stuff inside it for a bunch! I really like them! So creative Tina!

Backdating... Before Vacation!

So before we left on our vacation I had a busy weekend! Amy and I participated in our second Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride. It was a ride for breast cancer, there was 2600 women that rode in it, the second largest women only bike event in the country! We did it last year and had a blast, so we wanted to do it again this year! Last year we did the 36 mile ride, and this year we went up to the next level and did the 47 mile ride. We started later and finished earlier this year! We kept an awesome pace and only stopped at our provided rest stops and then two other stops for water and that was it! We were very proud of ourselves! Although we wanted to seriously die those last like 5 miles! THEY WERE HARD! But it was filled of a lot of fun and determination! Mike's Mom came and took pictures of us which was way sweet!


We gave ourselves credit for being SUPER fast because we were hardly ever with anyone from our group... but maybe they were ahead of us? No... we will go with we were ahead of them!

I got my bike a couple of months ago! I love it! It is a Jamis Sport Cruiser!


Also before we left it was Ava's birthday! I went over to Tina and Jake's and showed Tina how to do some cake stuff and this is the final product of her cake! Jake called it a Dr. Seuss cake which I think is fitting! It was a white cake and turned out really moist and yummy! I hope everyone loved it!

North Carolina!

So Mike and I just got home a few days ago from our vacation in North Carolina. It was kind of a strange trip because my parent's were packing up the house around us while we were there for their move, plus showing it so they can sell it, but it was still a fun relaxing trip! I did miss the nice Utah weather though, Mike felt like he was going to suffocate in the humidity! It was pretty funny, but also very sticky out there!

Our second day we were there we drove out to Emerald Isle with my Mom, and went out to Fort Macon where Mike wrote this in the sand...
We also played putt putt golf. It was a lot of fun, my Mom surprised me with how good she was at it! We all had a fun time goofing off and playing... I of course lost... it's not my best game haha.


We thought this was a pretty funny thing they had up on the course.
My mom and me. My new camera has a cool setting where you can select a color and everything will be in black and white except that color... Mike really liked that setting haha.
Us... this is probably one of my favorite picture of us...
Another day we went to the Ripley's Believe It or Not Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, SC. There were so many amazing things... this was one of the seahorses there.
Mike wouldn't get in the Kangaroo pouch... but Mom would!
After trying to figure out how to get the best pictures in the Aquarium I found out my camera has an AQUARIUM setting... haha.
This part was really awesome you are standing on a moving walkway and you have fish and sharks and everything swimming ALL around you! Over your head, EVERYWHERE!

These fish were HUGE, they are called sawfish and they had super long saw things!

I tried to pick one of the horseshoe crabs but when the legs started touching me it freaked me out so I had Mike do it! haha.
Yes, we stood in line behind the little kids to get inside of this clam! Mike and I could barely fit in the whole together it was so funny!

I thought these were so cool they are called "Weedy Sea Dragons"....
I am terrified of these but they really are so beautiful!

After the aquarium we went to Margaritaville for lunch!
Again... that cool setting...
Mike ate a "Cheeseburger in Paradise"... he said it was DELICIOUS!
This was Mike's first trip to the actual beach. We went to Topsail for a nice walk and took Ginger... the water freaks her out but she seemed like she had so much fun! Although she pooped on the beach and I had to go find something to clean it up... silly dog...

The Ocean really is beautiful!
Next day we went to the officer's beach. This was after Mike's first swim in the Atlantic Ocean!
Ginger was super tired, she fell asleep like this and then woke up and walked around with it draped over her head.
Mike wanted to go on a Hike but after we were attacked by lots of horseflyies we decided to head back... it was neat but Utah hikes are so much prettier to me...

A pond on the trail...
So my mom and Mike have a little joke about lobster, which he has never had but he always tells us to mail him one, so my parent's took him out for his lobster dinner...

The family... Mike, Me, Mom, Eddie, Noelle, and her boyfriend...

Mike's lobster! Yum!

After he ate them... yes we like to play with our food...
A stormy day, but we went out to Bogue pier on Emerald Isle...
My precious dogs! Ginger on left and Roosevelt on right...

Ginger is such a traitor and kept trying to leave me for Mike...

On our last morning before we got on our plane we went Kayaking on the Inter-Coastal Waterway out to the ocean. It was so fun and beautiful! We both love kayaking now and want to get some...

Mike... was so much faster than me... turns out I was paddling wrong the whole time like an idiot... he thought it was hilarious once he figured it out...

We weren't sure if my camera was taking pictures at this point so this is kind of weird...

Another fun picture...

We had a really fun trip but I am happy to be home too!
