Halloween 08

Always a good time when it involves getting dressed up! Definitely one of my favorite times of year!!! One of my BFF's Cody and I borrowed outfits and were cheerleaders for our work at SunLife Financial. Something about Halloween sure limits your productivity at work... I don't think we got a single thing done that day with all of our "breaks" to do a cheer!

Mike managed to put together a male cheerleading outfit as well! Oww oww! We then went to a basketball game at the U of L with some friends...they can ALWAYS use more cheerleaders in the stands!

Since we didn't really make any plans for Halloween...AND really really love dances...we crashed the YSA dance just for 1 last time!! Ah well.. It was fun, that's all that matters! :)

We saw this in the ditch on our way home from our honeymoon in Banff... Could this be a sign?.... :)

Honeymoon

Banff for our honeymoon! Love this place! The weather was chilly, snowy... and cozy! We went on a short hike, did some site seeing, went to the theater, enjoyed the pool and hot tub at our hotel, and treated ourselves to shopping! Too fun! We each got lululemon jackets and pants! Already we are married and buying matching clothes... greeeeat! haha

Wedding slideshow

Here is our Wedding Slideshow... Enjoy!

(I'm still trying to figure out how to post this...stay tuned!)

WE GOT MARRIED!!!

Thanks to my roommate Megan...who's also Mikes cousin. We were 1st introduced in February! Started dating in April, engaged in May... and married October! We hit it off right away, it was almost scary.

Our families and friends all came together to have a decorating party the day before.We decorated it with a tropical theme: lit palm trees, shells, sand etc... What a blast! We played music, ordered pizza, danced, watched our slideshow...and everyone wore the shirts that we specially made for them!

Oct 18, 2008 turned out to be an beautiful day! Considering, the day before was borderline tornado wind! Jeannie did my make-up, and one of my BFF's Linda did my hair. Our whole family fit into Nath's Limo, and all the other close family friend's carpooled together. We drove to Cardston in style! Singing and dancing to the mix cd's that Sar made for the trip!

The Temple was perfect. We were honored to have Mike's Grandfather perform the Wedding Ceremony.

Next the numerous pictures and poses! Thanks to Warren for the excellent pictures! It's extremely difficult to choose a handful of favorites!!

Our immediate family with Grandparents then celebrated a banquet at Ric's Grill in Lethbridge. A watertower converted into a restaurant...what a unique place for a wedding dinner! After our banquet we had a calling reception. There were appetizers, finger foods, a chocolate fountain, and Lorna Kyle did an amazing job on our tropical cake!! Oh, and of course don't forget the video booth where everyone left a personal message!! Too fun. I still watch some of these to get a good laugh. Our slideshow played continuously in the background, until the dance began. What a GREAT time! We have such great family and friends! It really was a party and a celebration!
