WEDDING!!!!

For those who don't know how amazing Kimmy Conley is then you will for sure know by the time the wedding comes around because it will blow everyones mind! I swear I am not being a snobby bride that thinks her wedding is better than everyones but it will be amazing!!!! And it wont be like any Utah wedding you have ever seen!

There is only one thing that i am doing that every other LDS girl does. We are getting married in the Salt Lake City Temple. I just can't help but want to get married there it is so beautiful and my parents were married there I can't help but feel sentimental.

Pierpont Place is where we are having the reception!!! Its a great venue with just a blank canvas to work with. with every event it looks like a new place I cant wait to see how it looks for mine!

Did I mention the belly dancers? we will be having belly dancers dancing the night away while we have our amazing dinner. For those who have wanted to go to Morocco but couldn't no worries because I am bringing it to you!

The amazing Cedars of Lebanon will be catering our dinner! The food is amazing and you will want to eat there everyday after wards.

The wedding will be amazing and my dress is fabulous! It is going to be the perfect day! Aaron will look handsome and luckily he will be able to get rid of any nerves i will be feeling. He is so amazing I cant wait to have everyone I love meet him!

Sardines, Rivers and Long hikes = happiness

For those who are wondering why Sardine equal happiness its more Cannery Row makes happiness which is where many Sardines were or are still canned. Cannery Row is also A famous book written by Steinbeck. Well to move on with why sardines make me happy it is because recently i had the opportunity to go to Monterey CA with Aaron for a day while we were visiting his family in Auburn. It was such a lovely trip. We were able to walk up and down Cannery Row and walk through some really cool stores. We also were able to go to the Aquarium!!! I love aquariums they are the best things to go see. Aaron was so amazing the whole time! we had so much fun! we saw jellyfish which were Aaron's favorite but the sea horses were my favorite but that is obvious i guess i really am just a horse girl at heart! I will warn you this blog is a little picture heavy and very few words but in my opinion those are the best kind so enjoy!

We had such a great time at the aquarium! although Aaron was eaten by a shark by the time we left! But then he broke out and know has the jaws as a prize!

For some of our fun adventures we went on two hikes! i was able to get a few pictures they were both so much fun! The beginning of hike number one! I was so excited for the first time ever i was actually dressed properly for a hike!Aaron's sister Barbara was so nice and took us on a hike that she has been on a few time with the younger boys. out of the two hikes this was by far my favorite.

we passed a mini water fall! well really it was just run off from the snow but it felt so good! and it was pretty!

yay to waterfalls! they are so beautiful. anytime a hike results in a waterfall it is definitely worth any pain i might feel the nest day. Yay to the cool things that on can find on a hike! i love taking pictures! this blue belly lizard was awesome it stayed in this protective stance for a good five minutes.the hike was beautiful and we hound all kinds of fun stuff. yeah the lizard was fun but these flowers grown on the rocks and they were so interesting. They felt like cactus just without the needles.

The second hike we went on was Steven's trail! it was such a lovely day. i didn't get very many pictures but i was able to get a few. so enjoy! Aaron thought it would be a good idea for him to climb up the waterfall all the way to the top! i was a little nervous he would fall but he was safe the whole time.The hike was so pretty! at part of the hike we passes a water fall! Aaron and i climbed up to get our picture taken in it.Dallon, Ammon and Aaron all jumped in the river at the bottom of Stevens trail but Dallon was by far the most enthusiastic about it! he did a countdown and everything! he is such a cutie and love those boys.

next it was Ammon. the water was freezing cold I don't know how they did it!

The boys finally got Aaron to go in but he wasn't nearly as brave as the other two! he didn't want to get his hair wet! but we finally convinced him to put his head under! But the worst part was when he gave me a hug he was so cold i am so happy i didn't jump in! Its the end!!! I am a new and improved hiking girl!

I love to go to California and the great part about it all is that I am able to get to know Aaron's family a little more every time i visit. Aaron has been able to get to know my family so well and has to be around them so often. I almost feel like we are cheating in a way. I had such a great time with his family. Barbara was so much fun to be with, it was the first time I ever got to spend time with her and all the younger boys are all so different from the first time I met them.

We always make so many memories when ever we go to California and we love being able to go back!!! Hopefully one day we will be able to own a ranch in Loomis like we both want to do! It would be so fun and it is such a great town! Sorry to all my southern California friends but Northern California is so much better and because i grew up in Southern California i am aloud to say which is better and my friends northern is so much better.

We had such a great time on the trip! I hope you all enjoyed the pictures as much as i enjoyed taking them!
