First Things First... Our honeymoon


















I finally figured out how to get all my pics from my camera transferred onto my computer! And these pics go way back to before Aaron and I were married. So I want to put all of them on here but I guess that I have to start at the begining. So these first pics are from our honeymoon!

Our wedding was amazing and then our wedding night was so much fun ;) haha! We didnt get to eat anything at our reception because we were too busy talking with the guests and having a good time. By the time that everyone had left the food had already been cleaned up. So we were starving, of course, and it was after 10 when we left the reception so all of the restaraunts were closed..... Except Village Inn! haha! We shared an omlett and our waiter gave us two free pieces of pie since it was our wedding night. It couldnt get any better than that! We Spent our first night in downtown Salt Lake and the Hotel Monico. It was so nice! They gave us a complimentary bottle of Sparkling Cider, which we saved for later in our honey moon.
The next day ( Dec. 28) we drove out to provo and spent the next night in our very own apartment which was fun because it was "our" apartment. Then the following morning (Dec.29) we headed up to midway, UT. The drive was beautiful in the middle of the winter. We passed by Deer Creek and it was all covered with ice. Everything was a winter wonderland and we were all cozied up in my warm car listening to Michael Jackson and enjoying the scenery!
We arrived at the Homestead and headed to our cute Honeymoon suite. There are some pics of our room and the room number. We Spent the next two nights there. It was so cozy in our lil room and each time I looked out the window there were deer walking around the lot (also shown in the pics). We went to the crater which is a natural hot springs located inside of the crater thing. Its pretty cool. The water there is so clear and you can see all the way to the bottom. Its really deep! A lot of people go there so go Deep water diving. But Aaron and I are more of the floater types. haha! We just bobbed around and had a good time :)
On Dec. 31 we changed locations for the last time and headed to our Honeymoon suite at the Johnson Mill. But before heading over there we decided to go sledding at Soldiers Hollow! So So much fun! We were cruisin down the hill so fast! Then we would hook our tubes back onto the line and it would pull us right back up to the top again. Sleding is my favortie winter sport for sure.
So after that, we headed back to the Johnson Mill and we had some warm honey oatmeal and cleaned up. Since it was new years eve we headed to the town and got some dinner at one of the nicer places up there. It was really good! I got a pulled pork sandwhich and Aaron had a french dip :) After our delightful meal we headed back to our Suite. It was AMAZING! I felt like a princess there. It was a cozy lil cabin and was decorated so nice. Definitly the best way to spend New Years! We opened our bottle of sparkling cider and kicked back by the fireplace while we watched a movie. It wasnt until a little while later when we discovered that we werent alone in the room. I noticed a tiny shadow running accross the floor from the bathroom area to under the coffee table. I immediatley jumped up and demanded that aaron lift up the table to confirm I wasnt just seeing things. He was pretty scared, but being the man he is he tip toed over to the table and slowly lifted it up. The little mouse came running out as fast as it could and ran behind the Armoure. haha! Aaron and I both jumped up on the couch and were freeking out! It was pretty funny and definitly unforgettable. The guy at the desk brought up some mouse traps- that was the leaste that they could do- and we set three up in different areas around the suite.
Around 4 A.M. we woke up to the "SNAP" of one of the mouse traps going off. Aaron put his glasses on and went to check on the status- sure enough there wasnt just one mouse caught but two of the mouse traps had mice in them. EW! haha! It didnt ruin our night but it did add a little flavor! We recieved a gift card for another free nights stay which we can redeem anytime before Dec 31, 2009.
Our honeymoon wasnt perfect but I wouldnt have had it any other way! I couldnt have been more happy than I was being there with Aaron :)

P.S. Here are some videos from the honeymoon...
