More Wedding Pictures- Thanks to Kristen!

One of my very good friends and bridesmaids, Kristen Russell, does a little bit of photography occasionally on the side. Something that she did for us was do our engagement pictures, which turned out absolutely amazing. We had another photographer that did the vast majority of our pictures, but Kristen captured some pretty amazing shots.

Will really liked them too, but he wished that more of them contained him! anyway I hope you enjoy =)

There's one with him in it!
Here are a few more:

I loved this last picture of the temple with the gold leaves in the forground.

It was really fun to see & remember some of the happenings of the day! I'm really grateful for Will and that we were able to be married that day. =)

Wedding Pictures- Portland Version!

Hooray! We finally got some of the pictures from our wedding in Portland! I really like how they turned out, and we both looked so good! This first one is of us coming out of the temple.... sort of. We waited behind the doors forever, then when they finally opened no one was around! So we repositioned ourselves to look like we just came out, after we found everyone =)

It's real now! The rings make it official =)

It was such a perfect day in Portland to get married...

Yeah, we had a lot of fun! I hope to get more pictures up later. Thanks for looking!

Trying this out....

So, after seeing how many of my married friends have started their own blogs, I figured that it might be a good idea if we started our own =). I'm not sure how diligent I'll be about it, but it's a good excuse to have a little family history going!

In any case, Will and I have been married for about a month and a half, and it's been the best ever! We have our own (very) little apartment, but we are going to move into a MUCH bigger one at the end of January, which we're both REALLY excited about. It will be nice to not have to use the counter space in the kitchen for storage of our pots and pans and other things and to have an extra bedroom and bathroom. We feel like Heavenly Father has really blessed us with this new apartment because when I moved here I thought that the one we have now would be enough, but I was not planning on having more than myself live there! Thank goodness for this opportunity that has landed on our feet, and that we're going to be able to settle someplace for a couple of years!

Another blessing that occured recently is that we found out that Will can qualify for in-state tuition at the community college that he will attend here! All we have to do is make sure that I get my name changed officially and that we get our licenses and everything taken care of before next year. Pretty awesome.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this blog! Life is grand and getting grander by the minute, and we're excited to share it with you!
