All I Ever Wanted

After our wedding we did the unthinkable...

...we drove from SLC to LA
(boarded an amazing Mexican cruise)
then drove from Southern California to Northern California
(had our perfect open house)
then drove from Northern California to Provo, Utah
(started school the next day).

All of that was done in one week from the day we got married. And within 16 days of returning from Uganda.

Totally and completely insane- and yet totally and completely perfect.


So here it is! Wedding post-the last!

The few pictures from the honeymoon. I guess taking pictures was the last thing on our to-do list... cause we don't seem to have much to show for it.

First up was our stay on the Queen Mary. First boat- now hotel. Totally and completely awesome and hardly changed from its voyage days.

Our view from our little porthole 

The next morning we boarded our cruise!

And stopped at Catalina

Then to Mexico for Jonathan's birthday and some kayaking!

And then up to Nor Cal for our wonderful open house in the beautiful Santa Rosa California


Once again-amazing food

Amazing support from the Pierce family and friends

There ya go Stacy :)

Some of my amazing family even made the trip to California!!

And my sweet cousin drove a few hours to get there

And my most favorite part- THE FLOWERS! Holy cow they were beautiful (thank you, thank you Loke! and thank you Skabelunds for your BEAUTIFUL house!)

My bouquet!!

Even though I got a little sick half way through...(I can probably thank the fact that I had only been home from Uganda 2 weeks, had a wedding, and a honeymoon, and all that driving, and was soon to find out I had some parasites in my belly...well it only seems fitting I was sick at some point. )

Everyone was so nice to me and let me sit.

But it really was the perfect ending to a perfect wedding. Thank you Karen for all your work! And for making all my bouquet and cupcake dreams come true!

My wedding situation was nothing like I expected, but I've certainly realized that it was all I ever wanted.
