Facial Hair and Dex

Well Denise has been posting a lot so I thought maybe I'd help her out and update everyone on what I have been up to recently. The title of the post may seem random... but it isn't I promise I'll tie it all together as soon as I can.

Well this semester I decided to take only 3 classes rather than the 6 that I was originally signed up for, I did that so I could spend extra time with my wonderful wife. I also signed up for a couple of organizations on campus, one is called DEX and the other is PBL. Dex is the college version of DECA and PBL is the college version of FBLA. This last weekend we had a the DEX state competition and my friend Jason and I signed up for the web design team competition. We are working on a website for our senior project together and decided to finish it in time for the competition and submit it. We didn't get it done in time and so we turned in another site for the state competition. Our plan was that if we qualified for Nationals we would finish our other site and submit it at Nationals. To qualify for Nationals you had to place in the top 4.

Also at the competition is when DEX elects new leadership, Jason is the current VP of Technology for DEX and he graduates at the end of the semester, because I didn't take summer and only took a half load this semester I will be graduating next Spring so I still have another year of school and competitions etc. I decided to run for the position that Jason is in right now and just see how it works out.

I WON! I was however the only one who ran ;) but even still they could have voted no to me and they didn't so I still beat the alternative right? Also Jason and I presented our website at the conference and we won 1st place, one of the judges even left his contact information for us to contact him about a job once we finish school. It was pretty exciting! And that means we qualified for Nationals! So in April we will be flying out to Louisville to compete in the National DEX web design competition.

Ok now the facial hair, I haven't shaved since the wedding day, for a little while I was sporting a pretty thick beard but last night I trimmed it down to a goatee and mustache. I am doing this because Denise and I have planned to throw a little party at the end of March... Its a MUSTACHE PARTY!!! And its gonna be awesome! To prepare for such an event I wanted to get myself in prime mustache shape. And on Monday I will be shaving off the goatee and Mustache March will officially begin! Thats right Tom Selleck get ready to eat your heart out! Or just lick the mustache off your lip! I am super excited about the party, I think Denise is excited too because she started looking at mustache stuff for the party one day and was sending me all these awesome ideas! Its gonna rock!

Well here are some pictures really fast of me at the DEX competition, you'll notice the beard, I'm sure that we'll get some pictures up between now and the party and also pictures of the party. Its gonna be legen...

Wait for it!!!!

As promised i am posting more wedding pictures! Just random ones I thought were adorable!

Cutting the cake


All the nieces and nephews!

 

Kenny had gotten in her pajamas and Heidi told her to not come downstairs without her dress on! The result: Kenny comes down with the dress over the top of her pajamas SOOOO FUNNY!

Kenny sue!

Lincoln poo!

 

Cute Chocolate on Tater Tots face!
 

Beautiful Ry! She is getting so freaking old!

 

O i love little delaney!

 

Ooo so cute little brothers!

 

So cute of both of them!

 

 Such a beautiful picture!

Ok so turns out I just wanted to post a few pictures of my nieces and nephews! But can you blame me they are adorable! This obviously isn't all of the cute pictures or even a picture of every single one of them but my computer is taking forever to load! So I am giving up on posting all of them!

Wedding time!

So mostly I was thinking instead of telling the story of my wedding I would just post some pictures and explain. All i can really say is it was the most wonderful day of my life. It was literally magical. Having AJ as my husband is better than a dream come true. I never imagined that such a perfect man would exist for me!

 

Kenny... The first one to give us a hug coming out of the temple!

AJ trying to keep our noses warm! It was freezing at the temple!

He looks better with the bouquet than I do!

Cute and Corny! Love it!

I like this one.

 

The back of my dress was my favorite!

 

By far my favorite picture! If you weren't at the wedding my shoes were purple converses that said bride! AJ's were black with red stitching that said groom. Justin, Brady, and Leroy all had black ones just like AJ that said groomsmen. The fathers also wore them! It was seriously one of my favorite details.

I am such a detail freak as you can probably tell! I just love pictures like this! 

My Dad is so sweet! Carrying my train for me! Oh my gosh..... It was soooooo cold! I literally could not feel my toes after a good 5 minutes of being back in the temple! I kept using that gray blanket to stay warm and needless to say I would of died without it. The only thing that was kinda stinky was that blanket made my hair so frizzy for the pictures! Luckily my husband is a photo shop genius so any I want to print I can just ask him to fix!

 

Frizzy example!

 

Classic of course!

There is one more just like this that I can't decide which i like better! I think I am going to get one of them printed! I might make Aj make the sky more blue though! Is that cheating?

Getting dressed for the reception with my mommy!

Kinda corny but fun!

  

Classic getting ready pictures

 

At the Reception Center 

 

  

My Cake

AJ's sweet utah helmet grooms cake! Thanks so much Ashley you are so sweet for doing this for him!

It was perfect! My little Nephew poked eyes in the head while we were taking pictures... it was pretty hilarious! It didn't even look like a cake it looked like a real helmet! At the end of the reception Aj took my nephew back to the cake and together they carved a mouth to go with the eyes! How adorable is that!

Here is a picture of them doing that together!

Here is a good picture of the eyes! So hilarious!

We're dorks!

All of my beautiful bridesmaids!

Classic AJ

 So cute!

 I love my Mommy!

Classic us!

Aj's wonderful family! Which I am so happy to be a part of! I never thought my in laws would be so nice and fun! I lucked out big time! Sweetest family ever!

My wonderful family that does so much for me! I love them so much! I lucked out with them too! I actually have a normal non-dysfunctional family which is hard to come by these days! I love you guys! Thanks for all you did for the wedding!

  

There are pretty much a million more pictures I want to post but I am officially sick of uploading pictuzres.  Sorry they are a bit out of order! So I will do another post with just pictures.   So a few candids maybe and what-nots of the wedding to come when i am more in the mood!

We love you all and thank you so much for all your love and support in this wedding! Just to sum it up.... Happiest day of our lives....... we couldn't have asked for a better day or anything! Thank you everyone!
