Backpacking

This was my first Backing trip ever. The crew was, Lisa and Brad, Drew and Lisa, Christie and Rex. It was really fun and meadows around Mt Baldy were very beautiful and green. As we went to hike we were fairly near the top and some of the people developed some pretty bad blisters. It rained a ton and was really muddy.

Honeymoon

We went to San Diego on our Honeymoon for just a couple of days. We had planned to stay a little longer but we both started feeling sick so we headed home. We still had a good time. At the hotel, when they found out we were on our honeymoon they gave a few extra dinners tickets for the restaurant below the hotel. It was kind-of a fun place. It was decorated like a old fisherman's tavern. 

 We went to sea world

 One Sunday we tried to find a church that met later in the day so we could sleep in. When we go to sacrament meet we realized it was a singles ward. We could help but laugh because, we weren't single anymore, We were married!  

 Visited the San Diego Temple

 Walked along the beach. We had intentions to get in the water and try out some boogie boards. We had wet suits and had even tried them out in Brad's parents pool on Christmas eve, but we gave up on that idea once we were there and already starting to feel a little sick. It was too cold :)

Brad and Lisa's Wedding

We both finished up the semester of school and I went through the temple and received my endowments on Dec 15th.  What a wonderful experience. Just a few short days after Christmas we were married on December 28th. We had much of our families with us as we were sealed. It was overcast and a little raining but that's OK, we were just excited to be married.  

 The Shumway's put on a wonderful luncheon for all the families after the temple. The set up table with some of our pictures from growing up.

The woman who made our wedding cake didn't realized we were going to cut the extra cake she made and not the real one (styrofoam). So the cake was frozen! This is us trying to cut through the brick of a cake.

 Trying to get a picture of all the nieces and nephews, needless to say they were not happy about it.

 Leaving the reception.

Cream under the door handle... nice. Also as we drove away It started to rain pretty hard. So Brad naturally turned on the windshield wipers, the only problem was there were oreos stuck to the front of it and as the wipers went across it smeared the whole windshield. I seriously thought we were going to die on our wedding night trying to navigate the car to a car wash in the rain. We went through the car wash several times and it still didn't get it all clean!

Engagement Photos

Christie and Allie helped us take some pictures. Brad and I couldn't agree on one to send out. So we sent out the first three with our wedding announcement .

November 2006

Throughout November Brad was still sick and even though it was pretty taxing on him (and me) we still had fun. We were really busy with school and working. We bought our first car together, a 1999,stick shift Nissan Sentra. I moved back into Shalimar (Home) ward at some point in the fall and was working as a nursery worker. Brad really enjoyed working with the young men.

Brad's Family tradition is to hike up A mountain on Thanksgiving morning.

  On Thanksgiving my Dad and I took the little girls to the park.

We were moving forward with wedding plans too. Scheduled for Dec 28th. Christie took some picture for us that we used as our engagement photos.
