Washington Trip, Part 2

For the second half of our trip out to the wedding, we headed up to Washington to spend a couple of days with my parents before going back to Utah. While there we got to play tennis, go bowling, celebrate Jarom's 29th birthday (yeah he's old), eat lots of pies (I made my first pecan pie), watch Brave in the best theater I've ever seen, and go to the Mima Mounds in Olympia. Jarom got to see the most sun he ever has while being in Washington, it was about 2-3 full days worth of sun! The movie theater deserves further explanation. It was a normal sized theater, but only held maybe a third the amount of people as any other theater. The reason is because the seats are so ridiculously huge and amazing.

Oregon Trip, Part 1

This last week Jarom and I were able to participate in a very special and exciting celebration. We drove out to Oregon to see my Grandma get married!

Jarom and I stayed with my aunt and uncle and cousins, and Jarom was able to take advantage of the "bond" most guys have of video games to hang out with the boys. So Grandma didn't want anyone to make a big deal out of this. She didn't want decorations or presents or a big turnout or to have to walk down the aisle or anything like that. But the rest of her family and friends didn't agree! So there were decorations put up in secret, presents and cards given, friends who came, walking down the aisle, and cupcakes made for dessert. Even their car got decorated! You see, this is proof that no matter what age you are, your wedding is really not for you. It's to make everyone else happy! The morning of the wedding...
