Couldn't be happier :)

Ah I'm so excited! I have good neeeews! I got my pictures! I wish I could put them all on here, but these few will have to do.
Ellie Bellie was so excited; Almost as much as me :)
The whole gang!
Part of the Kerby Family, groomsmen, and two of Gare's friends Heather and Neisha (sorry if I slaughtered that spelling)
My Mom's side of the family 
Gosh, he's even cute when he's in an almost falling situation :)
My Dad's side of the family
I really love ever one of these kiddos... and just kids in general because they're so humble. I taught a primary class before  the wedding and I couldn't believe how much they knew and didn't even question anything. I think they're such good examples.
 
   One a the faves :) 
So that's good for now. I'll put up some reception pictures another time. I've got some dinner to cook :) But I just wanna say that I love being married to Garret. He is so caring and patient. Since we've been living together, we've found a few differences and I can be kinda stubborn about some things and I think Gare can be too, but we have been able to let those things go and talk about things we need to. They're stupid things anyway. I love that about Gare, he's a good problem solver. We never go to sleep without saying that we love each other. I know it's only been two weeks and I definitely have a lot to learn, but I feel that we're going to have a marriage full of joy and love. I couldn't be happier :)

WE'RE MARRIED!! :)

It's official, I am forever sealed to my best friend. Friday was really the best day ever. I was running on about 4 hours, and Gare at about 3 hours of sleep, but the excitement of getting married gave us more energy than an energy drink could. It was seriously the most perfect day ever. Everything went smooth, fast, and turned out just how I had planned. The ceremony was wonderful. I was choking back tears the whole time, but Gare was fine. He's so brave... He is such an example to me in so many ways. I am so glad I married him. The luncheon was full of delicious food and touching moments. Terry, Gare's dad had people get up and say something about us or one of us, and that was really cool. Some people almost made me cry, but the happy cry. Then we went and rested for like a second, and then we were back taking pictures. People started arriving right after and I was worried that my face was gonna be stuck like that botox stuff cause I could not remove the smile from my face. Smiles are such a good thing, but I just had more than my face could handle haha... Gare was rubbin' his cheeks to help it, but then someone else would come and we'd have to smile again. Seeing friends and family was so great. I hadn't seen some of those people for quite a while, so it was good to catch up and things. I wish I could've had more time to talk to some of them, but we were pretty ready to get outta there... :P Then the exit was beautiful with the white and purple lights; it was just as I imagined. I truly had the most wonderful wedding day ever thanks to my family. I have no idea who I'd be or what would I do without 'em! I love you guys!
I haven't quite got my pictures from the wedding yet, but stay tuned because it will be very soon! However, my lovely sister in law, Kylee, got some really good ones that I just love and have to put a couple up. First of all, I gotta put up my hubby cause he is my favorite :)
Gosh, I just love him! That smile wins me over every time :D I really hope our kids get his smile... They'll be so stinkin' cute. And this picture of him and his niece Abby was adorable. He just barely met that little girl, but he already loves her and thinks she's the cutest thing ever. 
And I can't forget about Claira. Garret and I love her too! I will put a picture of her up soon, but I just have to say that she is the sweetest little girl I know. We were taking pictures at the temple, and she was sitting on my lap for one and I asked her if she wanted to hold my bouquet and she was so excited. Then when she got off my lap, she held out the bouquet and said, "Um... Lexie... Thank you for letting me hold your bouquet." It was priceless. Gare and I bring it up all the time. I am just so excited for the future. I have the best husband, wonderful in-laws, and a loving family. What more could I possibly ask for? :)

Just a few more days... :)

I have exactly 4 days, 9 hours, and 43 minutes until I am sealed forever to the love of my life :) Marriage is such a big step in life, and I have to admit I was a little scared, but with Gare it's been different. I have felt comfortable with him since the day we met. He is honestly the best guy ever. I just feel genuinely happy when I'm with him. I never knew I could feel this happy. I am so thankful that we are members of the church and have the opportunity to be married in the temple for time and all eternity. I couldn't settle for any less time with my loverboy :) Ha I just love him! Him and his perfect smile, dreamy eyes, and super loving heart. His heart is the thing that got me.

I just don't know how anyone couldn't fall in love with that smile of his :)

He is the guy that actually liked my red cheeks when I get embarrassed, was my very first valentine, and the only one I have ever fallen in love with. It's kinda cool cause he was the first guy I ever said "I love you" to, and I was the first girl he said "I love you" to. We are each other's first and last. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am that we saved that for each other. It has so much more meaning. Seriously though, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be in his life and have him in mine. He's the reason I get out of bed in the morning, and the reason I have sweet dreams at night. I am so blessed because he is my best friend too. Definitely the best I've had by far. We talk about anything and everything. We never seem to run out of things to talk about actually.  Hours feel like minutes when we're together. We are so excited and looking forward to forever.. and ever :)
