What a crazy few months it has been! I decided to start a blog to fill in all our family and friends about what is going on in our new life together. To catch you up a little….. I arrived home from school BYU Hawaii on April 17th, and the wedding planning began right away. I never realized how much goes into planning a wedding until I actually started doing it. At that point, Grant was still in school and working, and I was busy with wedding business. We spent as much time as we could together, but it was pretty scarce. We consistently had our Friday date nights, which mostly consisted of a movie and me falling asleep. We were both pretty tired at the end of every week : ) The wedding came around before we knew it. It honestly felt like a week had gone by between April and the end of July. Our wedding day, July 28th, was so perfect in every way. Our reception was packed full of people, and we had such a wonderful time. We were showered with love and gifts from our friends and family and felt so much support. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. We couldn’t be happier to be together or more in love : )
After the wedding, we spent two nights in Seattle at a hotel right on Lake Union. On Sunday, we were able to sleep in a bit, which was definitely needed. When we woke up, we made lunch reservations at Buca Di Beppo and bought tickets for the Ride the Ducks Tour in Seattle. Since Buca Di Beppo was only a block away from the hotel, we walked. It was so beautiful and warm outside, so it was a great little walk… especially after lunch since we ate a bit much : ) After lunch, we were both so full and still exhausted from the wedding that we took a nap before we went to the Ride the Ducks Tour. The tour was a blast. The guide was hysterical, and he even played a song for us as newlyweds! On Sunday evening, we had reservations at my favorite steakhouse in Seattle- Morton’s. They had a steak and seafood special that came with salad, filet mignon, choice of sea food, side, and dessert. It was absolutely delicious!! We definitely ate well while we were in Seattle. While we waited for our food, we had a complimentary souvenir picture taken of us, which they do if you make reservations for a special occasion at Morton’s. Makes for a nice, little keepsake. At the end of our meal, our waiter informed us that our meal had already been taken care of by my step-dad, Rob. It was such a wonderful surprise! Once again, we felt so loved : )Grant and I had spent the whole day clad in our “Bride” and “Groom” shirts, so we got lots of smiles and congratulations. I don’t think Grant enjoyed it as much as I did : ) We headed back home on Monday and spent the whole day moving my stuff into our temporary home and opening our wedding presents. We got a lot of wonderful stuff! Grant was most excited about the charcoal grill and grill tool set, which makes sense because most of the other gifts were kitchen things that only I would be excited about. He is just happy to know that he will get fed because of all those gifts : )

Grant and I love married life so far. We just got back into our normal routine this week, after a week of settling in, our open house in Yakima, and a Wilson family reunion during the weekend. It’s nice to finally be staying in our own bed and to get back on a schedule. I love having Grant by my side every night and not having to send him home at the end of the day anymore. It is so great to have each other to laugh with, talk with, cuddle with, watch movies with, and just be with whenever we are home. We both love being able to come home to each other after work. It is such a happy time for us and we feel so blessed to be married and in bliss <3
In case some of you are wondering our plans… We are currently living in Marysville while Grant finishes his associates this fall. We are both just working right now, and Grant will start school at the end of September. We will be here through the end of the year, and then plan on transferring to BYU Idaho in the winter. We both feel that is where we need to finish schooling. So, if all goes as planned, we will be in Idaho for the next 3 ½ years for school. After that, we would love to start a family. As far as where we will be living then, it all depends on work/master’s program for Grant. We are excited to see what the future hold for us! As for now, we are absolutely enjoying being married and all the fun that comes with it.
