Arizona Wedding Trip

So, as everyone knows, we all went to Arizona for Jeff's wedding. It was great! We love Promise and are so excited to get to know her better. The temple (Snowflake AZ Temple) was just gorgeous. The reception was great and I think everything went smoothly!


Jeff getting the guarder garter garder. What is it???? oh well. anyway it was fun.

Ma and Jeff in the Father/daughter Mother/son dance. :) Precious. (My husband was the one who intruded and took the picture-- teasing my mom the whole time of course!)

The trip was nice, although I had a ridiculous amount of homework due the following week and therefore was supposed to do it on the road. Well... I did do some but probably not as much as I should have. Oh well! It all worked out and I got all my homework and papers in and I did well on my presentations (I had 2 that week). It's just really hard to read text books when you have a bored husband driving in the middle of nowhere and it's hard to create power points when the sun is so bright that you can't see the screen! ( I actually ended up putting a blanket over my head and the laptop so that I could see it! It worked well!)

Anyway, on the way to Arizona, we followed Sarah and Brett the whole way. It was nice because we didn't have to worry about directions and we got to hang out when we stopped to eat. We ate Burger King twice on that trip because that was all there was! Ick! (None of us even LIKE Burger King) We did bring snacks though so it wasn't too bad.

We really enjoyed the scenery in Arizona and Southern Utah. We passed through several National parks and on the way home, we stopped at a really cool canyon. I think it was called Glen Canyon. We also really liked the cactus forests but didn't get a picture of them! They were so cool! You know the classic giant cacti? They were just like that! but fields of them!


A cool arch in southern Utah I think.

Trying to take a picture of ourselves with the canyon... It didn't work real well.... oh well. (And disreguard the greasiness...)
The canyon. It was gorgeous and the water was bright green!


We had fun seeing my parents and getting to know some of Promise's family. She has an uncle who lives in Provo and his wife is from Peru so they both spoke Spanish. Therefore Francisco made them believe that I spoke fluent Spanish so they talked to me in total natural spanish. yeah. So, I can speak Spanish but I don't understand it when they get all talkity and slangy so appearently she was telling me how to prepare some soup... hmm. I had NO idea she was saying that. haha They were very nice though. :)
