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? :)
