V-day

First off I have to say that my husband is amazing! I woke up on Sunday morning and went to take Ember outside and on the way I saw a huge bouquet of flowers on our kitchen table! They weren't there when we went to bed the night before and Ryan was still in bed. He had gotten up in the middle of the night to put them there! I was so surprised. He is so sweet! 

Aren't They Beautiful!

We kind of bummed around all morning and then went on a nice cruise up Provo Canyon to a small town called Wallsburg. It was such a nice day, we got out and walked a little. It was really nice to get away and be able to just talk and forget about life. Later we went up to our cabin for a nice dinner with my parents, grandparents and my cousin Casey and his wife Noah. We came back home and I actually got put on call for work the next day so we stayed up a little later and watched a movie. It was a pretty laid back day, but very nice to have in the midst of all the craziness going on in our lives.

One Down, Two More to Go

Yesterday was my brother Andrew's wedding! He married a girl named Analyn who has lived down the road from us since elementary school. They were married in Salt Lake at Temple Square. It was very rainy all morning and then the sun came out right before they came out of the temple, it was perfect. It reminded me of when we were married, it rained all morning and then turned out to be such a gorgeous fall day. I guess they are pretty lucky anyways because I think most of us were expecting a snowy wedding this time of year. We had lots of family come from all over and it was really nice to see them all. They had a delicious lunch in Salt Lake after the wedding and then a beautiful reception at the Courthouse in Provo later that night. It was lots of fun meeting new people and catching up with old friends.

Next month is my other brother Matt's wedding which we are all looking forward to. He left to fly back to China this morning and we'll miss him, but he'll be back soon enough. Andrew and Analyn are leaving back to Jerusalem on Friday where they are going to live for another year or so. We will miss both of them terribly, but we are very excited for them to start their new life together.

Ryan's brother Sean is getting married this fall, I believe in August some time. We are really excited for them too. It seems like everyone we know is either getting married or having a baby! What a crazy year.
