IM AN AUNT!!!

Yay, I'm an aunt!!! And Keith is an Uncle! Little Jackson Max Jolley was born Sept. 29th. I saw him over conference weekend and he is as cute as can be! Ashley, my little sister, once told me that when I'm pregnant she hopes I'm just like Alexis, cute and fun. Alexis did look so good being pregnant and she looks so good being a mom! I am just thrilled for them, and to be an aunt! Jackson is so adorable. He is literally just PERFECT!

And more great news....JESSICA IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!! Im beyond ecstatic! And so happy that I can finally publicly talk about it! I cant stop thinking about it. Im so thrilled for Jess and Bobby, and for me to be an aunt two times! She is due at the end of April.

These two little babies are so lucky to have such good parents. I am so excited that they are part of my family!

Hawaii, Weddings and Longbeach, CA

After a few days with our families in Utah and Colorado, we flew to Hawaii!! Our Honeymoon couldn't have been better but we were also excited to start "real life" and have a routine and a schedule and a home. We are loving Hawaii and our small on-campus apartment right next to the Temple. In some ways (besides the school and work part) it feels just like a continuation of our honeymoon. We are still very much in the honeymoon phase ;)
                                                                         TVA, the apartment complex we live in.

                 Our humble abode:

           Campus!!

                                                                    Me and my old roommates catching up. So fun to be re-united!

           Keith is really good at school :)

                                                                  We love Dukes Hula Pie and the Waikiki firework show.

A few days after we "settled" into our home in Hawaii, we went home again for some weddings. Keith and I both had our best friends getting married (just not to each other) So I went to Colorado and Keith went to Utah for the weekend. They were both beautiful weddings and we are so grateful for their friendship. And SO excited for them to enjoy married life, because its the BEST.

The following weekend we went to Longbeach, California. We met up with my in-laws and had a little couples vacation! It was SO fun. We went out to lunch, watched reruns of the flugtag that happened earlier that day in Longbeach and most excitingly, got to watch John, my father in-laws, Nightlife concert! John is an incredible singer. His group, Nightlife, previously won the Gold Medal at an international quartet competition! They are so talented and entertaining. Saturday night Keith and I spent the night on Grandpa Bobs 46 foot catamaran. Also, very, very fun.

Our Wedding!!

We received our wedding pictures from the beautiful and talented Megan Baumgartner. She did such a wonderful job. We love her and these pictures and all the memories we have of the greatest day ever.

August 3, 2013
We got sealed at 1:30 in the Denver Temple! Our sealer was so sweet and it was such a tender, beautiful ceremony. The sealing was and will always be the best moment of my life. I am so grateful that we are husband and wife for ever!! And Im grateful for all the people that were inside the temple with us. And then to come out and see more faces that I love!!

 

 

 

Right after the temple we went to the US Air Force Academy and had our dinner with about 150 of our favorite people. It was so fun! We had our first dance, great food and drinks, tributes and slideshows, John, my father-in-law, sang "You and I" while Keith played the piano and we had toasts from our friends and family. Our missionary brothers (Clark in Argentina and Michael in Costa Rica) sent us the sweetest videos that we watched as well. Click here to see Michaels! It was one of my favorite parts of the day.

 

 

Then we had the Reception.

 

 

 

(Keiths not going to be happy I added this picture, but I think its so sweet. Hes watching the Daddy Daughter Dance.) 

      

  Keith played the guitar and sang, "Marry Me" by Train. It was great and another one of my favorite parts of one day.

 

It was such a happy, magical, perfect day. I cant believe how lucky we are to have such great family and friends. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to prepare it and thank you sooo much to everyone that came and supported us. WE LOVE YOU!
