HD Cinematic Films Website Having difficulty playing, click here. Here is our first wedding video...too bad it was SOOO cold! Our faces definitely look it, but it's still very cute. It isn't playing on the blog but it will play if you push the "click here" place and select it from the right side of that screen. Hope you all love it!

A new home and all the new possibilities...

We love our apartment. Its 525 square feet!! You better believe we've got every inch of it covered. We came from Idaho to Provo with a trailer FULL of our belongings...Brian is a reasonable guy - he doesn't have a whole lot of stuff. I on the other hand have decorated every home that I've lived in for the past four years -a total of 10. When we moved here with a trailer I brought most of the home decor and other stuff that I've collected over the years because I didn't know what we would want to have! Our cozy little place was full in no time and the trailer went home almost as full as it came. I've learned 2 things since we moved in that surprised me a bit and I thought I'd pass them on, 1)It's nice to not be overwhelmed with extra space and extra stuff and 2) You can, and I still do, lose things in 525 sq ft (the plus side is that you just don't have as many places to look for those things!). So this is it...our home as it will be until April -which for both of us seems like a long time to be in one place.

P.S.

Brian and I are learning to play our parts as husband and wife.

I am sewing...for the first time ever...and Brian...well Brian thought it would be a manly thing to do to grow some facial hair...he shaved after 3 days...thank goodness!!

Liz is Derek - Brian is Bailey

We have a problem...we are addicted to Grey's Anatomy...so tonight we got on abc.com which resulted in us taking the which character are you most like quizzes. Brian is apparently intimidating and I'm just strait up McDreamy :) Sounds about right!

Newlywed...and lovin it!

Married life is great, eh? You fall asleep on the couch at night and nobody has to go home when you wake back up! You wake up together every morning - in the same bed at least - maybe not at the same time :) Here is another plus...you have your own place!! You aren't living with roomies or with your families...it's all yours. We are definitely enjoying the "ours" part about being married. We love Provo, too. So far anyway...not that we've done a whole lot, but it's pretty here, all of my favorite stores are within miles of our apartment, the ward is great, and it's a little warmer than Idaho. We definitely don't have anything to complain about. Life is GREAT!

HONEYMOON, baby!

We went to Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon. We highly recommend it...both the honeymoon experience and Puerto Vallarta itself! We went on a Vallarta Adventure...it started in a boat in the ocean which took us down the coast to a place that would have been a 2 hour drive. Then we loaded up in a jeep to head up the mountain. When we got to the actual start point of the adventure we rode mules up the mountain (yes, mules). Before loading us onto our respective mules the tour guides explained that they carefully select a specific mule for each rider. It only took three steps on mine to figure out that I was on the most stubborn mule of the entire bunch. We held up the line all the way up the mountain. The tour guide behind me kept yelling "ha mula!!"...I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed by the situation. So anyway, the real question is why was I on that mule? The adventure consisted of ziplines and repelling through the mountains. I had never been on a zipline before, but I feel like a professional now. When we got to the first repel I was grateful that Brian took me repelling before the honeymoon. I just backed right off of the cliff. We had four British people in the group that kept everything interesting :) We definitely hit the entertainment max between the accents, the profanity, and watching them zipline and repel. So other than the adventure day the typical honeymoon day consisted of this:

Sleep in

Breakfast

Boogie Boarding in the Ocean

Reading Breaking Dawn

Lunch

Pool

Daiquiris (non-alcoholic of course)

Nap

Dinner

Walk on the Beach

So the high recommendation for everyone to go comes without further explanation. We feel very lucky that we had the opportunity to do something like that...it was definitely a once in a lifetime and unforgettable expereince!
