New York, New York!

My mother had never been to New York, and she'd always talk about how she really wanted to go there. She wanted to see shows on Broadway, see the Statue of Liberty, etc., etc... So, I decided to take her there, being the New York connoseour that I am (haha!)
I invited my mother-in-law Lynne, and we had a "mothers and daughter" trip. It was really so fun! I'm pretty sure I wore them out though. Our motto was, "hurry, come on, we'll sleep when we're dead" (or something to that effect.
Although Lynne had been to New York several time, she was very gracious in putting up with our sight seeing. I tried to lead us to the biggest tourist sites. We even got to see Wicked and Mary Poppins on Broadway. Check out the pictures...

Let's start this blog 7 months ago...

Bill and I were married July 10, 2010 in the St. George temple... 7 months ago. It was a beautiful, hot summer day. Let's actually go back 5 years and 7 months ago in 2005 when I first moved to St. George and the only friend I had in town was Kimmie Smedley whom I had gone to school with since the 7th grade. Kimmie was living with her uncle Dave Wilkey and loved spending time with her family. So often times I would go over to the Wilkey estate and hang out with the family. All of her cousins, especially Bill and I had been friends ever since then. We loved to have Scrubs marathons, where we would watch the TV series for hours. Years into our friendship, Bill and I went on our first date in July of 2009 when Bill made me late for the premier of Harry Potter. We really enjoyed each other's company so much that we repeated the date the next week-yes, we saw Harry Potter again so we could see the beginning which we missed. But of course, you guessed it, we missed more the second time than we did the first time. Naturally, I wrote him off; I can't date someone who doesn't appreciate Harry Potter as much as I do!

We started dating again in November 2009. We got unofficially engaged sometime in May 2010. We began announcing our wedding before Bill had asked my father's permission, and before he gave me the ring. We travelled up to SLC for me to get endowed with my brother Jordan who would soon be leaving on his mission to Taiwan. The night before I went through the temple, my dad gave Bill his permission to marry me. While at the temple Bill cornered me, whispered in my ear "Will you marry me?" and I said "yes." Haha! A little late for that! in just 6 short weeks after that, we were married.

Seven months later, we look back on it, and I can't say that we have enjoyed every minute of it, but I dare say pretty darn close to it! We love being married and learning how to do life together as a team.

This is totally new to me....

Last night as I was looking at some friends posts on facebook I was linked to one friend's blog. As I was reading through her blog and looking at all the pictures, I noticed the list of followers of her blog and realized I have a ton of friends doing this blogging thing! I started browsing through all of their blogs and somehow got sent to the link that signed me up for a blog. Naturally I started experimenting and before you knew it, I had not only created a blog, but I was having so much fun trying to figure it out. I remember when Myspace was popular and I had so much fun changing my background and stuff...this takes me back. I don't know anything about blogging, but I am determined to figure it out. Bare with me.

Orlando

We got to go to Orlando, Florida on holiday this month. Bill and the other men had golf work to do while us girls went out to Disney World, Harry Potter Land (Universal Studios) and shopping! I don't know about Bill, but I had a lot of fun with the girls! Once the work was done, Bill joined us on a tour of the Everglades. We even saw real live gators!
