Well, we finally got our internet set up at our house so I have no excuses for not blogging anymore! I have a list of posts that I need to do, but we'll start with our wedding. It was the perfect day. These are only a few of the thousands of pictures I have to go through. More to come!!

Here's our story, the week leading up to our big day:

Kasey and I flew to Colorado on Monday and spent the week getting ready for the wedding! There were some last minute things I had to finish up! My mom and I also went and got our teeth cleaned on Tuesday and Kasey joined us because he had a toothache. Wednesday he had a root canal!!! He is such a trooper and never complained about it! Other than that small bump in the road, it was a fun week, and I loved spending so much time at home with my family!! I miss seeing them and it was perfect to spend so much time together. There were lots of errands to run, lots of people to see, and plenty of things to do before Saturday!

We heard that there was going to be snow towards the end of the week, but it's Colorado, so we didn't know what to expect. They hadn't had a huge storm all winter but, of course, the day before my wedding there was a blizzard! Flights were cancelled and roads were closed. Thankfully all of our guests made it by Friday night-better late than never!! Friday night we had our rehearsal for our ring ceremony and then my mom did a dinner at her house for both sides of our family to meet one another. It was such a fun night and a perfect way to spend our last night as single folk. Saturday was absolutely perfect!

We started the day with breakfast at Mimi's Cafe. All of our family and bridal party were there. It was nice to spend time with our family and friends before we went to the temple. After the brunch we headed up to Denver. The temple was beautiful. It was great to have our friends and family with us for such a special day. I can't imagine not being with Kasey forever. I am so grateful that we are sealed for time and all eternity. It was so fun coming out of the temple and seeing all of our friends and family waiting for us! We took tons of pictures and I was so cold by the end! The weather was perfect, other than it was cold! Our pictures were beautiful thanks to the fresh snow!

After we took pictures, Kasey and I headed back to the Springs for our ring ceremony and reception. We were both starving so we stopped by Chick-Fil-A on our way back. It was so good! I had napkins laid out ALL over my dress to make sure I didn't get anything on my dress. My mother would have killed me!

Once we got to the hotel, where the evening festivities were, we got inside just in time to get everyone organized and ready for the ring ceremony. The ceremony was really nice. It was great to have so many of our friends and family there to support us. After our ring ceremony we went straight into our reception where we had an amazing dinner! From what little I tasted, the cake was good too! :) Our reception was so fun! We had a photo booth area where all of the guests could take funny pictures with the different props that we had! There was a lot of dancing and I think everyone had fun! I know I did!! Our day was perfect and I can't imagine a better day with a better person. I am so lucky to be married to my best friend! We are so blessed!!

More updates to come!!  :)
