It has been a very eventful past couple of days!!
There is so much to update on what's been going on - prepare to be inundated with the events of the past few weeks!
Mike and I have been on vacation in Arizona/Utah for Dan & Krystal's wedding and to see all our friends and family. I can honestly say I've never had a better trip than this.. Just love my husband and taking a break and getting to spend all this time with him has been such a blessing.
We came back for Dan & Krystal's wedding. They got married on September 10, 2011 in the Mesa, Arizona temple. Krystal was so BEAUTIFUL (seriously, one of the prettiest brides I have ever seen!) and the reception was so fun. I LOVED the bright colors - she had orange and yellow. It was sweet!
We got together the day before the wedding to help set up all the decorations - it was at the church that Krystal lived by.
That's my handsome man carrying in some of the decorations. There were a ton of those things! That trailer in the background was full of them.
That's us.. hard at work. :)
Mike was tempted to steal all the frosting for the cupcakes, because he might be obsessed with frosting... but eventually his conscience won him over and he left it there... maybe only a bite or two was missing.
Krystal had gone through the temple that morning and received her endowments. It was fun to see her and Dan together.
AND this was the FIRST time I have met my Father in law! So that was fun too. Mike is trying to be as tall as he is in this photo..
We finally got everything done and parted ways again until the next day. Mike's two sisters, Mindy and Amy, flew in from Georgia and Texas and they were a RIOT. They were so much fun, and this is the first time the four siblings have been together in fifteen years!!! What an awesome experience.
While Dan & Krystal were getting sealed, Mike and I got to spend some time with Mindy and Amy. It was a great chance to get to know them! Finally, Dan and Krystal came out of the temple...
SO beautiful. One of our favorite couples. :)
Then we took lots of photos in the hot Phoenix sun.. It was BLAZIN! Lots of squinty eyes, but I think a lot of them turned out great! Here are a few of my favorites -
FYI, that skirt was really puffy and hard to figure out where her legs were, so that was a tricky shot! But those are the Bridesmaids dresses, and I think they are AWESOME!
All the groomsman. Casey, Mike, Dan & Mario. Mario let us stay at his house the entire time we were in AZ for the wedding - Love him and his cute family! What handsome guys! Especially the bald one!
This is Holly and Max - the other part of the family we stayed with in Coolidge. Some of my new favorite people in the world! Holly is the sweetest momma and Max is SO adorable. More to come in future posts about them!
Here is a pic of all the in-laws! This picture pretty much sums up the extent of my new family! (Besides Mindy & Amy's family ... but still, you get the idea)
Cutting the cake ... :)
What a great wedding. Congrats Dan & Krystal!!
