party for two{s}

For our official honeymoon we booked the Mexican Riviera cruise with some friends of ours that were married three weeks before us. Even though the idea of a double honeymoon sounds a bit crazy, it was so much fun to drive down to California, and have someone we knew at our dinner table each night! 

On our way down, Alex and Taylor thought it was necessary to visit the largest thermometer in the world... it wasn't ha ha. 

The day we arrived at the ship was actually mothers day, so they handed out flowers at dinner to all the women. They also sang a little song to us that went something like this....happy honeymoon to you, kissy kissy, happy honeymoon to you, kissy kissy, happy honeymoon, happy honeymoon, happy honeymoon to you, kissy kissy. Then they announced to everyone at dinner that the boat was going to be rockin' tonight. ha. we were embarassed but it was so much fun!

That same night Alex felt it was necessary to have a map of Croatia drawn for him, because that was where our waiter Milan was from. This also was very unnecessary, but quite comical. 

Our first day in Cabo we went parasailing, ate at a local Mexican restaurant and spent the rest of the day shopping and enjoying the beach. That night our waiters danced to "low" on the tables for us, and we went to the punchliner comedy club. Such a perfect day!

One day we decided to take a little break and we sat on those chairs pictured to the right. Then all of a sudden we look over and an older, drunk woman stumbled then started on a full on sprint to the place where I am sitting. She stumbled again and face planted right on that corner. The worst part of it all was when she fell she put her hands behind her back instead of using them to help her catch her fall. She lifted up her head and blood was everywhere. It was a terrible sight, and Taylor was sick. For the rest of the night we kind of had a joke about people falling on their noses and each time Taylor would get queasy. We felt it was necessary to get a picture of this, and this time, it was. 

Our second day in Cabo, we went on a tour of Lover's Beach, and to the place where the Pacific ocean and the Gulf of California meet. It was so incredible and such a fun day. We did some shopping again that day, and we were sad to be leaving such a beautiful place.

 

We both forgot our dress up shoes. Whoops.

Our day in Puerta Vallarta was spent on a zip-lining adventure on the movie set of predator, and then to a tequila factory where there was free tequila! We didn't have any and neither did the other half of our group that was all from Utah, but it was still fun anyways!

I love and miss my warm chocolate melting cake that was full of calories. Paige and I both had one a day, plus another dessert. Yes please!

We had such a good time on our cruise, and we were so glad to be able to go with such good friends! 

for my dad

This guy right here is simply the best. Somehow he and my mom managed to put up with all us girls before my dad finally got his two boys to help keep him sane. He has always been such a great influence on me and has taught me so much in my life. He is always letting us know how proud he is of us, and always encouraging us to keep working hard. He is so sweet, and treats my mom so well. My dad has always been such a hard worker, and I appreciate all he has done for me in my life. I hope you know how much I love, and appreciate you dad, you are the greatest and I love you so so much!!

the day we were primary subs

 Our day in primary was quite eventful! As we were in singing time one of the little girls asked if they were going to cut off their dad's ties again this year, they hadn't planned on doing that, so they came up with a new idea on the spot. Since Alex was the only man in primary he was volunteered for the job. The Glendenning girls ran home and grabbed one of their dads ugliest ties and Alex sat in the front of the room the whole time! When the kids sang especially loud they would cut little pieces of his tie off, till it was all gone. It was seriously so funny, these kids were so into it and Alex was such a good sport. I just love him so much, and am so happy he picked me! He is going to be a dang good daddy one of these days!!

till we meet again utah jazz

Probably two weeks before our wedding Alex and I decided to be a little spontaneous and  decided we would head up north the Monday after our wedding to watch the last jazz game of the season! It was so much fun, even though the Jazz lost the game was pretty intense in the end and we had lost our voices by the end. We also got the opportunity to do a live session at the Salt Lake Temple which was seriously amazing! My grandma's sister and her husband were in the session as well so it was so fun to go through with them! My grandma has a time share at the kimball which is right next to the conference center which provided us with an awesome view and a short, but sweet trip!

the loveshack

After our wedding day was over we headed up to my grandmas cabin in Pine Valley Mountain where we were greeted by our house full of decoration! The best thing about it is that we totally thought my grandma had done all the decorating and we thought it was so dang funny. We found out later that our friends had come up and done it for us but we loved it so much! We just got to relax the whole next day which was the greatest thing in the world, I was so happy to be stress free! No more wedding, no more school, and a big break from work! Yes please! It was much needed, I was desperate for a break!

Thanks to everyone who came and decorated our "loveshack" for us! We loved it, and we love you!
