Honeymoon!!

So after the marriage we went on out big 3 day drive to South Carolina to go on our cruise to the Bahamas!!! This was sooo much fun! We had PLENTY of food hahaha and plenty of love. It was a blast!! It was 7 days on the Norweigan line. We went to from S. Carolina to the Bahamas to Flordia and back again. Although Spencer was sea sick most of the time, he was a pretty big trooper, when he wasn't sleeping, we played games and met really nice people. Here are some pics just to show you how much fun it was!!!

Story of our lives




Well we are married!!!! FINALLY!!! It's been almost 8 years since that very first stake dance I walked into..just in time to fall right into the arms of the man I would marry someday, and it happened!!! We got married April 18th, 2009 in the Las Vegas Temple. It was amazing and I will never forget the feeling I had that day. That sense of reassurance and love. Walking into that room, that day, kneeling across the alter gazing into Spencer's glossed green eyes made we weep until there was nothing left to come. I knew I was going to marry him the second he said "I love you." I was 16 at the same as he was 18. Although we were still so young and had little experience in life, we knew. So time passed, he went to a semester of college and I followed. He later went on his mission and I wrote. Life seemed so difficult as he was away. Six months after he left I began to wonder, and that wondering led me to date others. each time I dated, it didn't feel right, I felt so empty, like a limp cloud in the sky drifting further and further away from home. I didn't think I was coming back, then like a strike of lighting, I realized, I'm done. I know who I am to be with and when that moment hit me, I moved to Utah to start school in Aesthetics. I met some friends and made good memories and still kept writing Spencer. Of course we had little downfalls here and there and they were hard to get back up from, but we did it. October was coming closer and closer, we both were getting more nervous to see each other. It was at the end of August that I packed up a few bags and headed to Vegas for 2 weeks. To get settled and reconnected with myself before he came home. It soon came to the very beginning of November, the Hutchings and my mom and I met at the airport, all in anticipation of the arriving of Spencer to get off the plane. As we waited at the gate, out comes that smiling face I still remembered when I was 14. We all cried and bawled as he kept saying, "this is a dream, I'm still on my mission." He knew it wasn't and although that week he doubted us getting married, he knew in his heart he still loved me and we would be back together. Two months passed and we still kept in little touch.He then moved to Utah in February. So, like always we were back together, except this time, it was eternity. We decided in the beginning of February that we wanted to get married, it was February 12th that he proposed at Asuka in Provo. It was all a dream come true from there. From engagement photos to wedding invites. From cake designs to hair designs. It was all a blur. It was about a month away from our wedding that I decided to go to Vegas in 2 weeks so he could study for his finals at BYU. As I was in Vegas, Mom and I put together the rest of the wedding and final touches to the center pieces and bouquets. It was amazing. The whole wedding was amazing and this is the beginning of our amazing life together.
