Need to jump in the cold

Josh and I have been married for half a year! While compared to most any other couple besides the Kardashians, that is not incredibly impressive, it is still the longest I have been married and I find that to be pretty awesome. I already mentioned on Facebook today that our reception was crashed by so-called "starving" students whose only known source of food is at the happiest day of random strangers' lives. Most of that day, to be perfectly honest, was a big blur, but there are a few moments that I remember that I thought I might share.

And while I hope nobody would ever assume this, let me just put out there right now that there will be nothing inappropriate mentioned, so don't even have that thought in your brain. Here we go.

1. I did my mom's hair on my wedding day. Obviously I woke up at a ridiculously early hour because sleeping was unthinkable at this point. I tried to take a million-year shower, and I still had all the time in the world to sit around and wait. My beautiful, new friend, Jillyn came to do my hair and did an amazing job and was funny and freaked out with me a little bit which I appreciated. Then my beautiful, old (as in I've known her for soooo long) friend and bridesmaid Renee came and did my make up so I looked super incredible. I still had, like, hours until it was time to go, and I didn't want to just sit and do nothing, so I did my mom's hair. It just seems like a weird thing for a bride to do on her own day, but I was happy to do it and my mom was happy to have straight hair.

2. When Josh got to the temple, I felt like he was acting SUPER WEIRD. I wanted him to be all excited, but it just seemed like he wouldn't look me in the eye and he was being all ridiculous. He got better though. Weirdo.

3. It was psycho windy outside the temple! which made for great pictures and also crazy... windy-ness. Oh well.

4. Once pictures were done and everything at the temple was over, Josh and I went to the Cafe Rio near our old apartment complex. I kept feeling like we were going to run into somebody we knew and how weird would that be to be like ... well we're married now. And here we are getting pork burritos.

5. I did not do a great job of breaking in my shoes, and my feet were KA-hilling me!

6. The day before we got married, I had dinner at Village Inn with my family and everybody said nice things about me and it was wonderful and my grandma made me cry and it was all great.

7. The day before we got married, Josh fell of a ladder and a hammer fell on his head. Yeah.

That's just a few things that stick out to me, other than seeing all the wonderful people that I love and being so happy with all of them. I am so thankful for that day and for the best person in the world that I married. First six months down, rest of eternity to go! Yay!


Also, this happened, and my dad and I thought it was hilarious, and nobody else seemed to appreciate it. Whatever, we're funny.
