Start Up - Catch Up

So here is our beginning...unfortunately it was almost 7 months ago. (That means I have a lot of catching up to do, not that I regret the decision.) Could I have started this then? Sure! Would you have known the difference. Doubtful.
See the title of this blog "If I wanted you to know" does not figuratively end with "I would have blogged it." No no. See, I still fancy myself as one who lives in reality. The figurative ending to this sentence, should it have the need to exist would be "I would have to told you".

Now many of you know that Austin and I have been best friends for many years, ever since meeting at a Stake Dance at age 14, so I guess in reality, this wasn't our beginning, simply a beginning to a better us.



So for the brief, still outdated, majorly understated update, Austin and I got married a few months ago (April 1 - yes I intentionally picked that day) and have been blissfully happy ever since. The ceremony was simple and sweet and perfect. My Mission President's brother performed our sealing in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. He combined good advice with doctrine with humor with sense in such a way that most everyone left there better for having gone. I know we did. There was no reception, no cake, no dress. (Although it did have some beautiful flowers (thanks to Nat) and beautiful family) I've never been happier. I was always afraid of marrying someone who (or who's mother) insisted on the frivolities that I simply don't care for. I guess I knew what I was doing when I decided to marry my best friend.

We then moved to Elko, NV where we've been ever since, hanging out in Osino in an awesome little trailer with puke yellow shutters and pink skirting. It's my 2nd ever trailer dwelling experience, and this time there are no cockroaches. :)

I'll be sure to keep you updated on how our "Happily Ever After" unfolds.
