An Update

Well, sorry guys, we suck at this blogging thing. A lot of things have happened since our last blog post, the most important being that we got married! Jon and I were married at the San Diego temple at 11 am. The ceremony was wonderful and it was the best to spend time with our family and close friends.

After the ceremony we went to Jon's parents' home and enjoyed a yummy luncheon while the kids had a chance to swim in the pool. Then it was back to business. We all packed up and headed over to the Meacham's house for the reception.

Everything there was perfect. Better than I ever could have dreamed. Our red, white, and blue theme popped so well with the green of the yard. It was amazing. We changed quickly at the end of the reception and started our crazy travels.

The hairpins in my hairdo set off the metal detector so I had the wonderful experience of being frisked. We flew from San Diego to Chicago (where I was frisked again) and then finally to Miami. It was Saturday morning by the time we left Miami and our plane landed in Antigua that afternoon. I won't give too many details about the honeymoon, but lets just say we were not so happy when our bags showed up three days after we did. We relaxed a lot and enjoyed the time on the water, kayaking, sailing, paddle boating, and just hanging out. We were glad to come back to the U.S. by the end of our week though.

Coming back from Antigua was a disaster with long customs lines, a missed flight, being rerouted to Dallas, and just barely making it back to Michigan in time for our reception. It was worth it though. We got to enjoy a few hours sleep in one of the fanciest suites I have ever seen at the Marriot in Dallas.

We did make it to Michigan in time for our reception and were gladly greated by our family and my great friends from home. The pie was delicious and I was just glad to be back in the United States.

We stayed and enjoyed the next morning at the Southfield ward before hurrying back to the airport to get on a plane for Michigan. What a joy it was to get home. To our own home... sort of. To prevent this from being a never-ending blog, I will split up the next few events. Also, to see more pictures just visit my website.
