the happiest place on earth

we had a great week in california! danielle's wedding was beautiful, and it was so great to see so many of our friends all together. on our way down to california we spent a night with kyle's grandparents in st. george, it was fun to spend time with them and enjoy a yummy homemade meal. once in california it was time for the rehearsal dinner, we spent the evening with good friends and good food, we also enjoyed a slideshow of the bride and groom. and for the first time in our marriage kyle and i spent a night apart! i had a sleepover upstairs with danielle, chelsea, and megan. there were only 3 twin beds in the room, so even though i wasn't with kyle i was not sleeping alone--chelsea and i shared a twin bed haha (which was a great way to get close again after not seeing her in a year and a half!) kyle spent the night downstairs where he shared the living room with justin (kellys bf).

friday we woke up, got ready, and headed to the temple for the sealing. it was a beautiful ceremony and outside the weather was perfect, we took pictures and talked to the happy and beautiful bride and groom. after lunch we headed to the reception venue, which was BREATHTAKING!! it was on the roof of a beach club overlooking the ocean. first, we had a ring ceremony on the lawn, and then we headed upstairs for the recpetion, it was a beautiful, perfect night.

saturday kyle and i spent most of the day relaxing at the beach. we found a great patch of sand, got our tan on, waded in and out of the cold waves, and once again enjoyed perfect weather! then we headed up to anaheim and checked into our hotel.

on monday and tuesday we spent our time at the happiest place on earth--disneyland!! we had a blast hopping from disnyeland to california adventureland and riding the different rides. luckily the lines weren't too long so we were able to do a lot in those 2 days. one of the rides we went on was the tower of terror. i was terrified--it was dark and you never knew when they were gonna drop you--so scary!! afterwards i took a pic of the picture they take for you--check out my face haha!! other than that some of our faves include space mtn, california screamin, midway mania, splash mtn, soaring over california, and indiana jones.

we relaxed at the pool on wednesday and recovered from all the fun. and thursday morning it was time to head back to utah. overall we had a blast and really enjoyed our california vacation!

i loved all the palm trees!
