September 11th, 2011
So today is the tenth anniversary of September 11th, 2001. I remember exactly where I was upon hearing the news…I had just put my backpack on, ready to head out the door for another day of 6th grade at Union Middle. Just before walking out, my parents came up to me and told me the news. As the day spanned, I began to comprehend what it all meant. I'm sure we all remember where we were. Despite all that happened I think we all can say America is a wonderful and resilient country! I'm happy to live in the land of the FREE, and I'm grateful for those who have sacrificed to make it th
at way. :)
So, of course, being newly married and wanting to have a place to jot down all the fun and exciting things that me and Geoff are up to, I have naturally ended up here! Blogspot! I really can't believe how time flies….I remember being engaged to Geoff, thinking that they day would never come that we'd actually be married. But it did, and it was a joyous day!!!! We were married in the Salt Lake Temple, August 6th, 2011--BEST day ever. It was so great to be surrounded by everyone Geoff and I love, family and friends. Everything about the wedding was really a fairytale… I couldn’t have had a better feeling that day. Geoff is so sweet and took me to Maui for our honeymoon, that was a fairytale too. … We had so much fun there as we hung out on the beach, paddle-boarded, explored bamboo forests, saw waterfalls, ate delicious meals, and enjoyed the breezy island style. Maui is so NOT overrated.
Lunch on the beach-front!
Geoff enjoying a good read!

Last night in Maui ;(
- Welcomed the Labor Day holiday by going out to breakfast with the Grants, then went on a fun hike to Cecret Lake
- Watched bits of the U.S Open throughout the week
- Studied…..a lot ( mostly Geoff)
- Went on Pinterest a lot…found lots of yummy recipes, found the fall boots of my dreams (Hilary)
- Enjoyed Saturday evening with my parents at Settebello's Pizzeria (HIGHLY recommend this place)
- Enjoyed Stake Conference at the Assembly Hall on Temple Square
- Was approved to take my NLCEX-RN exam.
So post honeymoon, the fairytale continues back here in the SLC. We have a great little apartment that is so close to everything wonderful here in Salt Lake. Geoff is close to the U of U, there are great food joints, the beautiful Salt Lake Temple is a short walk away from my doorstep, and once I have my RN license, there are a plethora of hospitals right in the neighborhood that will hopefully hire me!! Geoff, as in the day we got back from our honeymoon, started dental school. ( We don't waste time around here…...). He is doing SO good, and working really hard. I'm in awe of his dedication. He sure is a good example to me, as I am studying for my NCLEX. Geoff is so great to live with--- he is always making me laugh and doing sweet things for me. I love being his wife!
This week we……
