We got married at the Oakland Temple!
Our Families and close friends came to the sealing
We had our reception at the Clement in Monterey
with sassy bridesmaids
With Chinese lion dances, surprise songs, my brothers and friend Romney dancing to Single Ladies before the bouquet toss, and enjoyed seeing our guests dance!
It was a perfect day to start my new journey with Phillip

HONEYMOON
We spent our first two days in Monterey at the Clement so we could go to a family dinner at my house. Both our families were in town and that rarely happens (Phil's from Maryland). So we went to one of my favorite sea food restaurants near our hotel, and the Clement makes a Clement Sundae and is my all time favorite dessert.

Phillip and I went to Palm Springs for our honeymoon and it was hott! Literally, it was 112 degrees everyday.
We mostly just hung out around the hotel and went swimming, but we could only stay at the pool for 30 minutes at a time because Phil's fair skin in 112 degree weather doesn't mix well.
This happened everyday
We got to spend the 4th of July with Grandma
JULY
So crazy enough I never went home with Phillip before we were married so I was so excited for our open house in Maryland.
Our first day was so fun, I loved seeing Phil's home, his old room, his high school football jersey, and it was fun getting to spend time with his family.
Downtown Frederick, MD with Phil's littlest brother Joseph
Phil's favorite
So East Coast
Lots of Corn around
However, I got really sick the first night and I was sick the rest of the week, even during the open house.
I did get to see Kaylan and her family, best cheerleader PG high ever had!
and my cousin Jared came with two of his little boys! I love my cousins kids!
The next week, we went to the annual lake trip with Phil's whole family and I finally was able to enjoy the East Coast.

It was so nice to stay right next to water
And I got to board the plane early because I have a peanut allergy!
Funny Story: Phil got tomato juice on the plane and feel asleep with it in his hands and spilled it on the lady next to us, so awkward.
JULY 6-7, 2012
So after we came home from Maryland, that night we had Corey's Open house. It had great dessert and egg rolls?
300 egg rolls were a big hit!
The next day we went to the temple for Casey's first time through and I saw a friend there for her first time as well. It was so fun.
So after Corey's Open House we moved all our stuff to Utah and had to find a place to live before Corey's wedding. We eventually found a place called Siena Villas and we love it. Corey's Wedding Week was so fun. We stayed up in Alpine and got to spend time with family and all my cousins have the cutest kids.
CONGRATS TO COREY AND CASEY DONG!

So glad that two of Corey's friends could come to town for his wedding, it was so fun seeing them.
Cousin Nacy
Cute little Cousins

Have a new favorite sandwich place
Then it snowed...
and I got to spend time with Lily Conroy
For Thanksgiving we went to Twenty-Nine Palms to my Grandma's and got to see my Mom's Family, which was great. We also got to go back to where we Honeymooned and went to our favorite restaurant.
Babes BBQ
Went to Leonardo Da Vinci Museum, Phil was so excited!
We've got to watch Isla more lately and it's been so fun!
Got a job at the bookstore as a cashier!
With my parents and brother and his Fiancee
Plus Philly wrote me a song!
We all drove down to Phoenix for my cousin James' Wedding.
We stopped in Las Vegas for a night.
Our luggage fell off our car on the way there, so four of us cramed in the middle together
We stayed at the Bellagio, my Mom brings her pillow everywhere
Meet up with Corey's old roommate Tim
When we got to Phoenix we went to dinner with my Dad's Family and went to eat at
Bill Johnson's Big PP!
the place was very interesting
Got my Asian on!
Always fun with Nancy
Stu was a groomsmen!
Got to see my great Aunt Nettie, it is always so fun seeing her! Still has some spunk!
CONGRATS JAMES AND LEILANI DONG!
Stu's Next!
The next day we woke up at 4 am to catch our flight to
Sacramento for my old roommate Tessa and her husband Grey's wedding!
Tessa couldn't find her marriage license for 2 hours, funny.
It was such a great day!
and Philly ate about 20 jumbo shrimp
We then went home for a few days to celebrate New Years!
New Year's Kiss!
Got some more settlers, I've become obsessed with it
AND NO BETTER WAY TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR THAN SEEING MY BOY
JUSTIN BIEBER AND CARLY RAE JEPSON!
I wake up at twilight, UR lips my biggest weakness, One less lonely girl, Where you think your going baby?
Your heart is a muscle, swag swag swag on you, Mrs. Bieber, Call me maybe
Funny Story: we went to the wrong arena at first and it was for a MMA fight and all the people there were laughing at us!
We took Isla to the Dinosaur Museum and she kept pointing at everything and saying "Big Dinosaur" and "That's Amazing!"
More and more like Aunt TayTay
and Isla loves her Uncle Philly
MLK Day marks the one year of us technically getting engaged. Can't believe how much has changed in a year!
So this is our lives so far, Phil is working full time at a pharmaceutical company and I'm going to school still at BYU. We are just happy as clams.
