Our wedding day :-)

Well finally I will get around to this. Eric and I got married on July 14th 2009 in the Manti LDS temple. It was so amazing to be able to be married in the Temple and I am so glad we had the opportunity we have had to be sealed for time and all eternity. After we were married we took time to take pictures around the temple which I will have to add later since my photographer has not given them to me yet but you can go to her website which is http://leisaallenphotography.instaproofs.com/ if you want to see them. After we got pictures done we were off to dinner with our families which was a lot of fun, then we were off to snowbird for our honeymoon. I had no clue where we were going for our honeymoon until after dinner and we were on our way Eric finally told me. We had a lot of fun at snowbird, we rode the alpine slide, a zipline, and we also rode the tram up to the top of the mountain then we hiked down the mountain a half hour to the ski lift where we rode back down the mountain it was a lot of fun. After we spent 3 days in snowbird we came back to Payson for our reception on Friday. The reception was very beautiful, fun, and busy! We started at 7:00pm and went until 9:00pm the whole time the line was out the door it was so much fun but by the time we got to the cake no one but some of our families were still there. Everything was perfect and I want to thank our families, our friends and Jerry & Lynette Bradford, and Lindsey Merrell for all their help. I couldn't be more happy with life and with my Husband, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am so grateful for all that he has done for me. I love him so much!!!

A happy reunion and a great life :-)

A quick catch up:

sorry its been a while since I have blogged a lot is going on. Eric got home June 6th 2009 the day he got home was a great day even though things did not go as planned it was still one of the best days of my life to finally have him home again. After he was released Sunday morning we picked up our lives together right where we left off 2 years ago. I am so happy to have my best friend home and to be able to be with him all the time. After about 3 days of him being home and being told by many wise people we shouldn't wait until September to get married we decided to change our date once again. We sat down with each other and decided on July 14th, we then went and talked to my parents and he asked my dad for my hand in marriage and my dad was more then happy to say YES. Since that day we have been busy planning a wedding since we need to be done in a month. We have been lucky enough to have wonderful people in our ward who are willing to let us stay in their basement appartment for a couple months while we save up some money for an appartment in Provo. We found a jewler who is going out of business and got both our rings half off which was also very nice. Other wedding plans are falling right into place and we are both so thankful for everyone who is helping us and giving us support at this time.

The Engagment:

On June 16th 2009 my best friend Eric Adams asked me to marry him. We went for a hike up Rock Canyon in Provo when it started to rain Eric stopped and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, of course I cried and then jumped into his arms and told him yes. I love him so much and am so grateful for everything he does for me. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such a wonderful man in my life that loves and cares for me as Eric does.

The wedding:

We have decided to get married on Tuesday July 14th 2009 in the Manti Temple where we will be sealed together for all eternity. On Friday July 17th 2009 we will be having our reception at Peteetnet School in Payson Utah. We are both very excited and very happy :-)

Finally down to a week!!!

Eric comes home in a week and I am basically going nuts! I am super excited but have yet to realize that I am going to have him back in my life never to leave again. I can't wait for this next week to be over with!!! He flies into SLC on Saturday June 6th at 4:05 pm on Delta. He wants me to invite who ever wants to come to the air port or to his house after wards to see him to feel free to come visit. He is so excited to be home, he is sad to be leaving the mission and all the people he has become friends with and met but we plan on going back in September for our honeymoon so that I can meet everyone and see all the work he has done, and the places he has spent the last two years. Other then his coming home my life has consisted of school more school and a little bit of work and trying to have some fun in there every once in a while. After this term ends June 15th I am taking a break from school until January so that I can be with Eric, work, plan our wedding and figure out where we are going to live ect. ect. Its going to be a crazy rest of this year but I am excited to see where life takes us. 

Eric had someone he knew photoshop him into this picture I had taken last fall I thought this picture was pretty cute and funny.  Well thats about my life for now its been busy but it has been busy with school so nothing to exciting going on there. I will keep up dates after Eric gets home and wedding plans ect. 

Only a month and some change!

For anyone that wants to know Eric comes home June 6th, and of course I am just so excited! I haven't seen my best friend in 2 years and can not wait to see him walk out of the airport and get to spend the rest of our lives together from that day forward. Here are a few pictures that he sent me recently.

Sorry I haven't blogged in almost 2 months not a whole lot of exciting things are going on... Eric got his release date he is coming home June 6th I am so excited!!! We have set the date of our marriage in stone for September 19th 2009 we have called the Salt Lake Temple and will be married at 1:00pm. It is all coming together pretty good for the most part if I would get started on the plans. I have set a theme that I am really excited for and want to be a surprise but I will tell you that it is going to be a country summer time theme with our colors being Red, Pink, Yellow, and Orange, and the reception being outside. Now the rest of what I want to do is a secret between me and my caterer and my family lol. But I can say it is going to be really unique and a lot of fun!

Spending the day in 60 degree weather on the west desert oh what fun....

So for my biology class we have to do a nature experience where we observe something in its natural environment, take pictures, ask questions and then do research and write a paper, and for my project I decided to do Deer. What made me want to to do this I am still trying to figure out but it sure was a lot of fun. Anyways Monday since I didn't have school or work my dad, grandpa, grandma, and Nikki and I spent the day out on the west desert looking for Deer. Thanks to Nikki she spotted the first 22 we found 20 females and 2 males when we first got to where we were going it was amazing! We got to see the 2 bucks fight each other which was awesome I wish we were a little closer so I could have gotten pictures but they ran further away when I got to close. We then got back into the truck and drove around some more when we spotted about 5 more deer then 15 more then another 15 more but only 2 more bucks the rest were females then we saw about 30 more that I think were all females I didn't notice any bucks, it was just was pretty awesome that we even found that many deer. Well by now it was lunch time we found this perfect little cove that was about 60 degrees which was so nice because when we had left that morning it was 0 degrees back home. We eat some lunch then pulled out the guns and shot all the cans and stuff from lunch. It sure was a fun filled day we all had a blast, until we came home and I ended up getting sick, oh well the day sure was a great one!



Yup thats my dad being so awesome with two guns you just don't want to make him mad...


Oh man what a HOT picture Nikki holding a gun, wait that is kind of scary


Don't make her mad....


my dad showing me how to use the 22


Oh yes me shooting the 22 for the first time since I was probably 10 kind of scary but it sure was fun, hope its not that long until I get to shot it again.



Basking in the sun in 60 degree weather what a beautiful day.


Nikki eating yummy chips..

What a stud...

Oh isn't he just one good looking buck

Desert Mountain with a cloud sitting on top it was pretty cool looking



I like this picture but I didn't know I had the color accent setting turned on so only Nikki's hoodie has color lol


Once again the color accent was still on and I didn't know Nikki was right behind me like that when I took the picture, but she sure did lol.

Nikki standing on a rock thinking she is cool...



Kind of a cool picture with the color accent on with everything in color but me



This is the first set of deer we found, there was about 22 of them 20 females and 2 bucks I tried getting closer but they saw me and took off, they ran up the side of the mountain and stopped where we were able to watch the 2 bucks through a scope fight it was pretty awesome. And that was our fun filled day on the desert.
