We're Gettin' Hitched

This past Saturday I proposed to Talie at Provo's Rock Canyon Park. After some slight persuasion she said YES!! Just kidding, I didn't have to persuade her! =) I thought I would post a few pics from the event.

Now that's one lucky guy!!

Talie's friends helped me make the banner.

This I what Talie saw from across the park.

Look at that rock!! It is a one carat sapphire set in a white gold band.

Our friends Whitney, Andrew and Kat made the proposal go as planed by holding the banner up for Talie to read.

One last close look at the banner! It turned out quite nice, right? I think so!! =)

Makayla-You Little Cutie

Jacob's Flowers

Jacob's flowers around his home are sooo beautiful. The pictures don't really do them justice. You need to stop by and see them in person. You did have the green thumb, Jacob.

THE TRIP TO ST. THOMAS

Our family just got back from a trip to the Virgin Islands to celebrate Tom and Debi's 30th Wedding Anniversary. We had a wonderful time. We stayed in St. Thomas, but we visited other islands in the U.S.V.I as well as the British Virgin Islands. All the islands for filled with lush green mountian sides and absolutely gorgeous beaches with crystal clear turquise water and white sand beaches. This is Adam and Christy on Coki Beach.
It is the gang on the island of St. John.
