Here it is ...

Well, I guess I will write out mine and Justin's little love story now. It all started when we were just little babies. (really it does, believe me:) ) Justin's family lived in Blanding until Justin was three, I think. Then they moved to California. While they were in Blanding Justin's parents and my parents lived in the same neighborhood and did things together occasionally. SO then when Justin was sixteen, they decided to move back to Blanding. When he first moved back, we went to church at the same time and he lived right down the street from me but I didn't really talk to him that much. I thought he was cute but I wasn't the type to just start talking to some guy that I didn't know. Of course he was the new guy in school so all of my friends were inviting him to things and hanging out with him. I didn't really think he would ever notice me since he had every other girl's attention. So one day, a couple of months before prom, I was called to the office at school and sitting on the office counter was a big bouquet of roses in a vase. I couldn't believe that I would ever get something like that. The card with it said that Justin wanted to go to Prom with me. I said yes, even though I really hadn't talked to him that much yet or anything. He had come over to my house with his family to have a barbecue with my family before but I didn't even talk to him then. So I started hanging out with him a lot after he asked me to prom. My excuse was that I should probably get to know him before I went on a big Prom date with him. Prom time came. For our date, we went hiking and four wheeling and then his mom made us a candle light dinner before the dance.(I will add a small note that there was supposed to be another couple eating with us but they couldn't make it so it was just the two of us. He wasn't just trying sweep me off my feet with a candle light dinner or anything. Maybe that was his secret motive though. hee hee) Anyway, I guess the rest is history. We continued to be friends after that, then began dating and three years later, we were married. When I went with him and his family to Disneyland, he proposed in Cinderella's castle. He almost wasn't able to do it how he wanted because I was in too much of a hurry to go meet his family somewhere and he had to practically drag me over to the castle so that he could propose. (We had a little old lady clap for us when he did it. It was really cute.)We were married 4 months after, July 21, 2005 in the Mount Timpanogas Temple in Utah.

Cute! I think I know why you aren't able to post the other pictures. They need to be saved as a jpeg before you upload them.
Yeah, cute flowers. I wonder who made that gorgeous bouquet? jk

I had to get rid of Cinderella's castle. It was just way too big.
