California/Deployment

After a wonderful Christmas break on Jan 4 Randan and I headed to California. We enjoyed the wonderful weather, the beach and all in all California. The next day we said our good byes and I drove home expecting to see him no sooner than 7 months. Then a few days later he called me saying they weren't leaving tell the next monday so friday after work I headed back down to California. Again we just had a wonderful weekend. I love California and can't wait to live there except for the part where I have to live so far from family and friends. Randan got to Japan Monday and is doing great. He will go to Japan, Singapore, Australia, the Philippines, and possibly but not probably Afghanistan. And it is planned that he will be back in August, but knowing the Marine corp it will probably change. I'm love Randan so much and am so proud of all he is doing! I threatened that since I didn't get to tag along in the suitcase that he better send pictures, I'll try and post a few of them!!

OUR WEDDING DAY!

So here's all about our special day =) Randan didn't get here till Friday at 3:00 a.m. but he still was still at the heritage hall to decorate at 7:00! We got everything done went home got ready and drove to st.george to take our endowments out. We were both so nervous but it was such a great experience and such a good feeling. We had a lot of family there and I was so greatful to see everyone there! (Shel in this your considered family ha ha) Randan went back to Enterprise with his parents and me reece meag and grandma went and ate pizza then grandama and reece went home. Meag stayed in st.george with me. It was so much fun and i was so glad she did. We tried my dress on and stayed up pretty late talking. What a great sister I have, she's such an example to me and i don't know what i'd do without her. I didn't sleep very good so finaly at 5:45 I just woke up and started getting ready. I was ready by about 7:15 so I just kinda hung out ha ha... I met randan at the temple at 9:00 and then changed into my dress. The sealing was so neat and so much family was there to support us. We then took a million and one pictures and drove back to Enterprise for our lunchon. By the time that was over me and Randan were just ready for it to be over ha ha. But in a few hours we got ready and went over to the heritage hall. We took another million picutres and then the crowd started coming. We had a steady crowd the whole night!

HONEYMOON!!

I'm posting things a bit backwards. We don't have our wedding pictures back yet but i figured i'd post a few honeymoon pictures. Sunday night we drove to San Clemente and stayed over. Monday morning we took care of a few things that needed to be done and then we boarded our cruise! Monday we just explored the curise and and then ate dinner. We were at a table with all the other honeymooners who were around our same age. So we had some fun dinner friends each night! The next day we got ready and rode on a boat from the ship to Catalina Island. There you had to be 25 to do just about anything so we rented a 2 person bike and rode it all over the island! It was so much fun. We made fun of it at first but i think we had more fun doing that than we would've anything else (i like to think anyway!) we ate dinner and visited the shops then went back to the ship. The next day we went to Ensanda and La Buffadora. We had so much fun barganing and looking at all the fun stuff. We went to the blow hole and We even ate an taco off the street!! The next day was fun day at see. They had a few fun things and we just relaxed on the ship! At nights they had great comedy shows and fun dancing type shows! We had such a great time!

Marathon!

October 4th was the St.George Marathon!! and Randan came home!! That morning we went over to wait at the finish line for my dad to come through. It was raining pretty hard luckily mom brought ponchos for everybody. Dad keeps telling us that he's getting older so he'll be coming in slower, but we all know different. Even with the rain and bad weather he still came in at 3:03:30!! just 4 minutes short of his best time! He will probably be 85 and still coming under 3 hours. My dad is amazing and such an example to the whole family!

Bridal Shower

My Bridal shower was on the 27th of September. My Grandma Grandpa Aunt and cousin came down the night before, and i finally got my dress. It was so great to see them and so nice of them to bring my dress. Saturday i drove to enterprise from St.George becuase there wasn't a bed for me at my mom's house. We finished cutting up all the fruit and then went over to the church. It was such a great turn out, and was wonderful to see and visit with all my friends and family. Everybody out did themselves and i got spoiled rotten =) I got my dishes and silverwear, a kitchen aid, bathroom stuff kitchen stuff, a kitchen aid, mom made the cutest quilt ever, andlots and lots of house decorations. I had such a good time. I've already got most my stuff set up and put away in my new place!!!
(pictures are on grams camera so i'll post some when i get them)

My New Job!!

This is for you Meag!! Well I just started a new job. I'm working at Richens Eye Center. I've been scribing for Dr.Gibb and just learning how to "work up the patients." Which I have loved. Dr. Gibb is a great guy and i've enjoyed scribeing fore him. There is a lot to learn but I'm starting to catch on. Well today there was a 4th doctor in the office and Dr. Richens didn't have a scribe. So I was it! Dr.Richens and Dr.Gibb are both great doctors just very different. She is very presistant to how she likes things done (which isn't bad, i respect it) however Dr.Gibb is very patient with me. It was a very different day today. I don't think i took a breath all morning for fear i would mess something up and look like an idiot in front of Dr.Richens. which you all know me is pretty impossible not to do. =) I'm just a spaz!!! I am still learning lots and love working there!!
