2010 in a Nutshell!

One of my New Years Resolutions is to BLOG!  Although this is probably a crazy attempt, I am going to try to cover the year of 2010.  I've had a blog for almost a year, but unfortunately this is my first post.  I get way too caught up in reading other blogs!  Here goes catch up!

I spent the first few months of the year engaged to this amazing guy! 

I was lucky to get a promotion in January, so I stayed busy with work and planning the wedding.

My best friend, Chelsea was so helpful and went to the Bridal Shows with me.

First came Engagement pictures.

We were so lucky to have Nick's sister-in-law, Camila as our photographer.  Check her out at www.camillabinks.com.  She has some insane talent.

Then came Bridals.  Camila made this so much fun!  She sure knows how to make a girl feel pretty.  And lucky for me, her skills totally MADE my pictures!  She's amazing.  My awesome sister, Rachel was also a HUGE help that day.  Couldn't have done it without them!

Then came the showers, people were SO generous.  My sweet neighbor- Marilyn Lavendar threw my ward shower, my awesome sister - Rachel threw my family shower, My amazing mother-in-law- Chris threw a family shower for Nick's side, my bestie - Chelsea threw my friend shower & Kristyn and Amy threw my work shower for Robintino's.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.  Here is one with my Mom, who was also a BIG help.  She is amazing at decorating, so I left that part to her.  The place looked awesome, as well as the cake.  Love her!

A week before the wedding my sweet cousin, Brittanie passed away after battling ovarian cancer for 5 months.  We sure do miss her.  She spent the last several years working at Disney World in FL.  She was always so welcoming to everyone and really had a love for life.  Below is a picture of Madison, me, Rachel and Britt.  This was last Christmas (during her struggle).  This picture will always be very special for us.

Here is a shot of some of my family at the funeral:

The wedding came fast, what an amazing day!  We had so much support and couldn't have felt more loved that day.  I am so lucky to have Nick for always!

We were married in the Salt Lake Temple 3.20.10

Our Reception was at Eldredge Manor

Needless to say we were BEAT, after a busy day!

We stayed at Little America (thanks to Matt who hooked us up big time), and then headed to St. George for the week.  We had a good time biking, swimming, hiking at Zion's and heading down to Vegas for a night.

2 months later we headed on a cruise to the Carribean, AMAZING!

Cruise ships are insane, so much to do, so fun!

Our first stop, Haiti.

I loved the towel animals

Our next stop, Jamaica - GORGEOUS!  We hiked Dunn Falls, which we couldn't take pictures of, but it was so neat.

Another stop, Grand Cayman - once again GORGEOUS, I couldn't believe how clear the water was.

Typical me, the whole trip, very sick!

Last stop: Cozumel.

Our awesome waiters...

A day in Fortlauderdale.

That sums up half the year!
