surprise wedding trip
another amazing canada trip down!!
man, i am obsessed with the people in these pictures...what i would give to be close to them
so i wasn't even planning on going to this wedding and the night before i packed up my car and decided last minute to go. it was great fun. I picked up megan in idaho and we were on our way! i didn't tell anyone that i was going so i was excited to surprise everyone. and i sure did, everyones reaction was priceless. seeing kristens face coming out of the temple was already so cool, then her spotting me in the crowd thinking i wasn't coming was even better. i absolutely loved meeting her husband and thought he was so awesome. i am beyond words happy for them and so glad i was able to be there on their special day. we spent the first day at their wedding and doing all their festivities. it was great seeing everyone and being a part of it all. the dinner was fantastic and the speeches made me tear up.
the next day we of course went to waterton, it is always tradition. even when it is snowing and i don't think i am going to make it out alive, we still go. i was finally able to meet celeste's new man and visit all the shops. we tried to take a few photos but none of us could feel our hands ha but we did get a few! we saw bears, rams and lots of deer. the drive was so beautiful in the snow and all the scenery. we ended the night watching movies, getting warm, cuddling up with my grandma, eating popcorn, talking for hours and just being hyper.
my trips are always just a few days but it is always what i need. i am so glad i decided to go up there, i would have regretted it big time. it was so fun escaping and getting away for a bit. i am beyond thankful for my extended family and how close we are even though we live so far away from each other. i love spending time with them and being with them. i am so happy for kristen and jon and so excited for their new life together!!! thank you family for the good times.
