A fun thrilling rush of a weekend!

So this past Friday I got a call from my friend Jacoy saying that she wanted to go to the breaking dawn party. I was so excited! I could hardly wait until 12:01 A.M. to get it! At 11:30 she came and picked me and my girls up, and then went to go pick up our other friend Beth. We were all so tired, but pumped! We just went to Walmart to get it because it was the closest to our houses. The line was pretty long with excited pumped up people that had been there for hrs. already. I thought that there would be a whole lot more screaming going on while we were there. The only time I heard screams was when they started handing out the books. I think that if we had gone to Barnes & Noble that it would have been more of a rush. Oh well we had fun, and thanks to the bishops wife and her daughter we didn't have to wait in line as long to get our books. They were at the front of the line and they grabbed enough books for them and us. They brought the books to us, very sweet of them I must say! You should have seen the looks on peoples faces when they did that, oh if looks could kill! LOL! When I got home, I put the girls to bed. I was so proud of them, they did so well at the store. Quiet as can be! No problems for me. After I put them to bed I stayed up and read until 2 A.M. I didn't want to put the book down. Today I finished it! Such a good book! Now I'm going to have to go back and read them with Matt and suck him into my twilight fantasy. =)

Saturday Matt came back from Scout camp and we were able to celebrate our 6th year anniversary. Time flies, sometimes it really seems like yesterday when we were out getting our engagement pictures taken. We had a lot of fun! Here is a pic of our marriage announcement which was taken at Thanksgiving Point in Utah:
Here are some bridal pictures taken at Thanksgiving Point as well:
I just had to have the Run Away bride tennis shoes to go with the dress!I love getting pictures taken! I felt like a princess while I was getting them taken. Some of my absolute favorites are framed, and I didn't want to take the pictures out to scan.
Here are some pictures of our wedding day:

It was the best day of my life to be married and move on with our lives together! Every marriage has it's challenges, and yes we definitely have had our challenges. I'm grateful that things are going better for us. I hope the next 6+ years will be great. I know they will be if we try! I love you Matt!

So to celebrate our anniversary we weren't able to do much. Since me and the girls hadn't seen Matt for a week we went to lunch to celebrate him being home. Then later we went to a wedding reception for one of Matt's cousins. They are the 3rd couple we know that have the same anniversary now as us. Special day! After the wedding reception we took the girls to my Mom so she could watch them. We were able to go on a real date to the movies! It's been so long. So we decided to see: Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D. It was an awesome movie!


It was so nice to be away from the girls for just a little while! Thanks Mom for watching them. =) When we got back home we put the girls to bed and decided to play our anniversary present to each other:

It was a great way to unwind to sing some fun songs! We also played with My family on Sunday night, and had a blast. Matt and I kicked some butt! So it was a fun thrilling weekend! I hope you all had a great one as well. =)

Six years? You guys aren't those lost and confused newlyweds I met, are you? Congrats! Sounds like you had a nice time together. We spent our's at football and cheerleading practice and timing contractions. Little one was just testing me though because after 9+ hours it all stopped. Sound familiar (Isaac's labor?)
