Catch-up: Part 1

Alrighty, so I can't promise to be the most dedicated blogger ever, but I am now re-committing myself to keep this thing up (at least monthly). This post is meant to be a catch-up from my last post... I'll probably highlight one or two things from each month and just hope that is sufficient. And I'll start from our beginning, since the last thing I think I covered was that leading up to our wedding...

September
September was quite a blissful month for Cuyler and me. On the 3rd we were married in the Oakland, California temple. I myself had never been to this temple, and only once to San Jose. Thank goodness Cuyler's family is from the bay area, so that we could spend our wedding day in, what I consider to be, one of the most beautiful places on earth. See for yourself...





We had our reception in a gorgeous backyard, on a hill overlooking the San Jose Valley. It was absolutely amazing and everything about the day was even more wonderful than I could have imagined.


The view was gorgeous,

the food was delicious,

the cake was smash-worthy (and very yummy),

and the party was hoppin'...

(Cuyler had a different definition of what makes a hoppin' party) ;)

One of the best parts of the day was having so many close friends and family there to celebrate with us. Thank you so much to everyone who traveled so far and/or made sacrifices to be there on our special day. We are especially grateful to our parents for being there, and for their continued love and support.

(Aren’t we a cute family?)

The VERY BEST part of the day was, of course, being able to marry my very best friend. I love Cuyler so much and he made the day extra special with...

being super excited to be married to me,


lots of kisses,


serenading me with a song (this was a surprise and I LOVED it!),

(I might have been tearing up a little here)


and just being his fun-loving, silly, sweet, wonderful self.



That night we headed off on our brief honeymoon, and enjoyed every minute. We spent the weekend in Half Moon Bay, California.





It was so much fun (if anyone needs a recommendation for a good honeymoon spot, this is it). Unfortunately I had school the next week, so we hurried back Monday evening to our new home in Glendale, Arizona.

From there it was back to real life... school and internship for me, and job hunting for Cuyler. At the end of that month we got to take a little road trip to California (southern California this time) for some more wedding festivities.


I got to be a bridesmaid for my cousin Tyisa. This was so much fun and they are such a cute couple.


Then, the next evening we had a wedding reception for ourselves in Moreno Valley (the city where I grew up). It was fun to see old friends and more family, and make our special occasion last a little longer.


On the way home from that trip we experienced one of our first big adventures of married life... a car accident. Luckily it wasn't too bad, and no one was hurt... just one of those things to remind us that we are grown-ups now ;)

Finally!

So... after many, many, many months of not posting, we're back! In reality, I'd like to play catch up on each month we missed out on, but with my track record I wonder if I'd ever really catch up. So to all of our fans, we hope you haven't given up on us yet. Keep checking back and we should have an update of our life posted real soon. Thanks for the emails, comments, and facebook posts encouraging us to get back up and running here. We love you all!
