We are jumping on the bandwagon.....

Our life is not that exciting at the moment, but we do want a way to keep everyone updated while we are in Brazil, so why not a blog? Isn't this the best form of mass email anyway? For those of you who don't know yet, we get to spend all of January in Brazil, and we can't wait!! I have been wanting to go for quite some time now (years!) and Jean is excited to be home again.

We have some fun plans of what we are going to do there, so stay tuned for some great stories and pictures. In the meantime, here is a quick year-in-review! We met in June of 2006 and this picture was taken on our first date by my standards and our second date by Jean's...But if you want to debate the matter, we can both quote general authorities....



Regardless of what our first date was, Jean instantly fell for me and began pursuing me. =) Our "courtship" was tons of fun. Finally, I had found the man to marry!





So, at the risk of turning into a Mormon stereotype, we were engaged somewhat quickly (which brings up another debate on who actually asked first...).



To announce our engagement to our parents, we emailed the picture of my hand and then called asking them to open their email.

















This picture is one of many engagement photo rejects...but I guess we can still use it for something! =)















We were married in the Mesa Arizona Temple on December 16, 2006.







We then went to the Grand Canyon for our honeymoon!








We got tickets to go to April 2007 General Conference and it was fun to show Jean around Utah.

I know this is a long post, but considering it covers over a year, I think I am doing okay. There was more I wanted to add, but I am tired of blogging for the moment....

ADD MORE! Please! I love reading your blog. I'll update mine soon. (Probably after the semester is over.) I love your pictures and am so excited for you to go to Brazil. How cool is that? You two are a gorgeous couple.

What a beautiful couple! So nice to see you both again! Let's get together when you get back from Brazil. I'm sure you will be busy before then. Lots of love, Jen, Jay and Logan
