Snippets of our life.

This post is random, long, and out of order. Ellen's wedding shower, hikes we took in the fall, 2 little cuties got baptized, Ellen &Brody's wedding, Ben's farewell. Then we travel back in time to July and honeymoon #1, Cancun! So fun. 



Ell's wedding shower (family)

 the most beautiful food table

The "Aunties"

Friends' shower

And now it's time for some hikes.














It's wedding time!







And now it's time for a farewell, sending some cousins off to Mexico and Brazil!




A final football game

Tyler bought me a present! He's the best :)

And now we go back to July, it's Honeymoon time!
This was our favorite area for snorkeling, we woke up at sunrise one morning and went out and saw so many sea turtles. Amazing.



Ziplining over the jungle, swimming, rafting, and mud-jeeping in underwater rivers-in-caves. We loved it there, such a fun day!


Chi Chen Itza
Mayan ruins

You can't see any dolphins here but they are here, and we got to swim with them. And I stood on their noses and flew through the water like a mermaid. If I were a mermaid, I think I would be best friends with dolphins.


Cenotes. It's this whole underground freshwater river system all over Cancun. We found one right across the street from our resort and we went snorkeling in it. It was amazingly deep and dark and eerie but beautiful.

Our first dinner in our new home as newlyweds. Tyler is there, we are just really bad at taking selfies. Or should I say, "us'ies"

Backpacking

We went camping at an abandoned campground, turns out the firepit was home to a family of hornets. Can you say "S'more hornets?"


Tyler's first time on the Alpine slide, everyone's gotta go sometime in their life!

Holidays 2014

Once upon a time, a long time ago there was a magical time called Christmas. And I am about to take you back there. 
Everyone came to visit us!

My mom gave us our first Nativity set and I love it!

Our tree we cut down ourselves. It was green and fresh and still growing almost until the day we finally took it down (aka Valentine's day).


Our new favorite game, we introduced it to everyone and we loved it. It's kind of a fancy version of B.S.

Tyler made this awesome shelf for us and we can hold so many cans. We practically have food storage haha.
