AND I THOUGHT I LOVED YOU THEN...

JULY 31, 2010

There was sooo much planning that went into our wedding, more than I could have ever imagined! But in the end it was all worth it and I have my mom, dad, and sister to thank for all their help (not to mention many others)!  I got my purple, black, and silver fairy tail wedding and I married my prince charming!

On July 31, 2010 Kyle and I got married in the Boise, Idaho temple.  It was absolutely the best decision we have ever made and our wedding day was the BEST day ever! I didn't ever want that day to end! I was late to the temple (I mean, I had to make sure I looked perfect... it was d-day afterall) and the cute little temple guy definitely told Kyle that I probably wasn't coming! The funny thing was that he was serious! It was classic!  Don't even worry though, I showed up and we were able to be sealed together for all time and eternity... what more could i ask for?

After this we took our temple and family pictures and then everyone else got a lil break from the festivities while Kyle and I went and took the rest of our pictures!  It was miseraby hot but other than that I have no complaints!

MARRIED!!!

AFTER ALL THE PICTURES WE WERE BOTH STARVING!!! WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME BEFORE WE HAD TO BE AT THE RECEPTION AND WE WERE DOWNTOWN, SO WE THOUGHT... WHY NOT TACO BELL?

IT'S A LOVE STORY BABY JUST SAY...

I DECIDED I SHOULD START FROM THE BEGINNING OF MINE AND KYLE'S RELATIONSHIP AND BUILD OUR BLOG FROM THERE...

SO IT ALL BEGAN WHEN I WAS AT LEGACY FOR CHURCH!  I WAS SUPER GRUBBY FROM CAMPING AND NOT SHOWERING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS THIS INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE BOY AT THE CAMPSITE WHO CAME TO SPEAK TO US.  I QUICKLY HID UNDER MY HAT SO THAT HE WOULD NOT NOTICE ME... IT WORKED! HE CLAIMS HE SAW ME BUT WE DIDN'T EVEN SAY HELLO! THAT NIGHT I WAS TELLING MY FRIEND HELDA HOW HOT I THOUGHT HE WAS, BUT SHE SAID SHE WAS PRETTY SURE HE WAS DATING THIS OTHER GIRL OUR AGE.  I LET THE THOUGHTS OF HIM GO BECAUSE I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIS LAST NAME, BUT OF COURSE I HAD TO TELL MY SISTER ABOUT HIM WHEN I GOT HOME! SHE TOLD ME WHO HE WAS REALLY DATING IN THE SINGLES WARD AND TOLD ME I WOULD GET MY EYEBALLS SCRATCHED OUT IF I EVEN TALKED TO HIM! GAME OVER!!!

THE SUMMER WENT ON AND THE NEXT THING I KNEW THIS BOY SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE ONE NIGHT TO PLAY CARDS.  I STILL THOUGHT HE WAS SOOO CUTE BUT I KNEW HE STILL HAD A GIRL FRIEND THAT WAS OLDER THAN ME, SO I DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE.  THAT NIGHT WE ALL WENT ON A WALK TO THE CHURCH AND WE WERE SITTING IN THE GRASS JUST TALKING WHEN SUDDENLY A COP PUT HIS SPOT LIGHT ON US! THE COP THEN GOT OUT OF HIS CAR AND ASKED IF WE HAD BEEN MOANING AND GROANING! KYLE'S ANSWER WAS "I WISH!" IT WAS HILARIOUS!

SOON ENOUGH I LEFT FOR UTAH FOR COLLEGE AND NOTHING MORE WAS SAID BETWEEN THE TWO OF US... SAD RIGHT?

THEN AFTER BATTLING WITH ALL THE BLOODY SNOW IN UTAH, I FINALLY MADE IT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK.  I WENT TO THE SINGLES WARD FAMILY HOME EVENING WHERE I SAW KYLE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SUMMER AND MET HIS BROTHER DAREN! THIS TIME I DIDN'T REALLY THINK MUCH ABOUT "DATING" HIM BUT HE WAS JUST AS GOOD LOOKING AS I HAD REMEMBERED! UNFORTUNATELY HE DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME! HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF AND I SAID YEAH... I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, I'M RAECHAL!

KYLE CLAIMS THAT AFTER THAT NIGHT HE HAD TO MAKE ME HIS! WE WENT ON A FEW DATES AND WENT SNOWMOBILING AND MUDDING, HE SET UP A WHOLE DINNER FOR ME THAT HE COOKED ALL BY HIMSELF, WE SPENT CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND NEW YEARS EVE TOGETHER, AND WE TALKED FROM THE MINUTE I WOKE UP UNTIL 4 IN THE MORNING EVERY DAY! IT WAS SUCH A GOOD CHRISTMAS BREAK... BUT I HAD TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!



KYLE HAD ASKED A FEW TIMES IF I WOULD BE HIS GIRLFRIEND BUT I REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I DESERVED HIM AND I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HIS INTENTIONS WERE!  HOWEVER, HE ASKED ME ONE LAST TIME THE NIGHT BEFORE I WENT BACK TO UTAH AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT SAY YES!!!

THERE WAS NOT A WEEKEND IN THAT SEMESTER THAT I DIDN'T COME HOME OR THAT KYLE DIDN'T DRIVE DOWN TO UTAH! IT SUCKED BEING AWAY FROM EACHOTHER DURING THE WEEK, BUT THE WEEKENDS WERE THE BEST!!!!!

HE THEN ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM IN FEBRUARY AND I TOLD HIM NO (ONLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WAS KIDDING AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A FUNNY JOKE)!  HE THEN PULLED OUT THE RING AND WHAT GIRL SAYS NO TO DIAMONDS?! I SAID YES! AND IT WAS ALL DOWN HILL FROM THERE...
