Its about time...

When Tyson and I started dating we used to go on lots of Road trips. We loved them so much that we would find the smallest reason to go on one. We always had so much fun, and we would grow so close, thanks to the 3-4 hour drive up and back which gave us plenty of time to talk and get to know more about each other. I looked forward to those drives almost more than the actual reason for the trip.
Well once we got married and started more full-time (grown up jobs), we had to limit our road trips, and eventually we were hardly going at all. :( So when one of my really good friends/old roommates Kaylyn announced she was getting married in May up at the Bountiful Temple how could we refuse the trip up?! :)
Shauni (my twin for those of you that don't already know), her husband Ethan, Tyson and I all hopped in the car and headed up.
Isn't she just gorgeous?!



Our first night we stayed at Tyson's Uncle Ron and Aunt Sheri's house in Spanish fork. The following morning we were up early and out the door for our drive to the Bountiful Temple for the sealing. It was nice to go and see Kaylyn marry her dream man. They were so cute to watch and it got me reminiscing about my own wedding day and the feelings of love and happiness from all of my family and friends that came to support us. I  remembered how it felt to look across the alter into the eyes of my other half and to hear the words that we would not only be together for this life but for ETERNITY! Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the knowledge that we can and will be with our loved ones forever, if we live righteously. Listening Kaylyn and Garland making these special covenants and promises to each other and to our Heavenly father made me so excited for them and for the journey they were starting together. I am so proud of them for making themselves worthy to enter the temple and being able to receive these amazing blessings.


While we were at the temple we noticed this Dr. Who box across the street and just had to get our photo by it :)

After the sealing we went shopping to waste some time until the reception that night in Garland City. The decorations were just perfect. I loved every bit of it and wish I would have taken some pictures. We even got to see Marsha! She is Kaylyns younger sister who was also a friend/roommate of ours for awhile. It was so nice to catch up with both girls.


Once the reception was over we decided to make a quick pit stop in Tremonton to visit Aunt Mickie and her kids. It was good to catch up and visit even if it was only for about 15 minutes. After Mickie's we went to one of my (newest) favorite restaurants called Maddox. It has the BEST steak I've ever tasted! Mind you I've only tried steak at a few different places, but it definitely beat the rest. Don't worry, I helped Tyson finish that steak....Mmmmmm.. :)


As if our day wasn't adventurous enough, we decided to met up with our long lost best friend, Lisha, and her husband Adam (who I just met for the first time) for a bonfire in Logan Canyon. It is so pretty up there which really made me kind of regret not moving up there. We also got to met up at the bonfire with an old college friend Chris and his new girlfriend. They are so cute together.


Saturday Tys and I went out to breakfast with an old mission buddy of his, Blake Shupe. He took us to eat at Angie's. It is apparently a must when in Logan. It was nice to meet someone from Tysons mission and the food was great. Since we were hitting all the top spots in Logan, such as Angie's and ice cream at the Aggies shop, we decided to make a quick stop at the beautiful Logan Temple before we left. '


Once we finished breakfast we headed down to do some more shopping in sandy and finally ended up at the movies. Tys and Eth went to their man show while Shaun and I went to a chick flick. I can't tell you how nice it is to have your best friend as your twin. Anytime I need some girls time she's ALWAYS there for me. As soon as our movies got out we all met up and hustled across the street to the RSL game to finish off the night right. Since we won the game (of course) some of the players went around to say hi to the fans. So Tyson and I got our picture taken with Nat Borchers! NBD. I'm sure he could see how star struck we were, but we didn't care...it was NAT BORCHERS ;) To be honest though, Tyson could probably care less! ha




All in all it was a great road trip, and have no doubt I'm already planning our next one to be BIGGER and BETTER....if that's possible!
