Tonight Jack and I are in Boise so I decided to start a blog while he's in his meeting, so I can keep in touch with everyone in South Carolina a little better while I'm in Idaho. I'm so excited to be back out here, but I miss everyone already. I still haven't gotten a new cell phone number, I just share with Jack (hopefully not for too much longer). Thanks to everyone who made it to the wedding, I was so happy to see everyone there! Everything went so well, I loved it!
Disney World was a lot of fun!! I liked MGM Studios the best, my favorites were Rockin' Rollercoaster (the Aerosmith ride) and the Tower of Terror. Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom was also really cool. I really want to go back when it's not SO HOT outside. That was the only downside. I was glad we got to go back to SC and see the family some more. Jack says he knows we'll end up there (at least he's catching on, ha!).
The ride back was SO LONG! I got carsick some, but mostly I just never want to drive through Nebraska and Wyoming again. There is absolutely no scenery, it's terribly boring. Jack let me control the cd's, so at least I was occupied. Next time I'll fly and let someone else bring the car!
Mom, Grandmother, and Grandaddy came up for the reception here. It was disney themed, and turned out SO CUTE!!! Jack's mom did a great job! My mom's friend she hadn't seen in 15 years surprised her and came up for the reception. It was so cool because I found out her daughter (who was my first friend in Hawaii) was going to BYU-I. We e-mailed and I sent them an invitation, so it was amazing to see our moms acting like they were 20 again, I swear it's like they had never been apart! Jenny Collins' mom and grandma made it up to the reception too. I thought it was really cool that they came and we planned Olive Garden in Idaho Falls while Jenny's in Idaho in October (the week of my birthday!) I am sooooo excited.. since Ms. Mraz and I made the plans, Jack can't say no! (so Jenny -- the plans are set! YAY! You'll be out here in about a month!)
Me and Jack took my mom and grandparents to Yellowstone. It was really cool, my grandaddy loves nature and anything from National Geographic and I've wanted to take him since I went with Jack in May. I love them so much and it was so cool to share with them the places out here that are really special to me. We took them to Jackson Hole where Jack proposed. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience to have this trip with them!
Our house is turning out really cute. I'll post pictures as soon as I can clean and take some. It is really cozy, a great starter. I feel so blessed to have as much as we do to start out with. Jack's parents gave us a washer and dryer as a wedding gift and I'm so happy to not have to go to the laundromat!!!
Anyways, this first post might be the longest I ever do. Just wanted to tell everyone about my new married life! We get the internet on Tuesday, so hopefully I'll be on a couple times a week or something. I love everyone back home, hope y'all doing well!
