THE NELSON'S: ~Married Life~

Sorry it's been such a long time since I have posted but things got a little hectic for a while!! So to start off, November 20th, Jeff and I had the chance to go through the temple together for the first time to receive our endowments!! It was such a neat experience to have both of our families there with us and to have Jeff's mom go through to receive hers as well! I loved walking into the celestial room and seeing our families just standing there waiting for us! What an overwhelming rush of emotion that was! It was truly amazing!! Here's a picture of us before the temple...

After that it was just rush like crazy to get all the last minute details done for the wedding. It was crazy but the day finally came... I got up at about 430 and my sister came over at 5 to do my hair (thanks Tami) then my other sister came over shortly after that to do my make up (thanks Jamie) and then Jeff and I were off to the temple!! It was awesome to just be able to sit in the celestial room with him. We got to sit there for about a half hour before they came and got us to go and be sealed. My uncle Tom on my mom's side got to seal us, which was so neat!! It was amazing to go in there and know that we were doing it the right way and with all our loved ones there with us! What an amazing experience it was!!

Everything after that went off without a hitch minus a few catastrophes! My photographer went to the wrong temple so we sat there waiting to come out of the temple after being married for almost 40 minutes, but at least we all got to sit in where it was warm because about an hour after being outside we were frozen! We had fun taking pictures and then the luncheon was delicious! The reception was funner than I thought too. I thought it would be uncomfortable with a bunch of people I didn't know but it turned out great and it was beautiful! Thanks so much to my family and Jeff's family for all your help that day and for everything you all did to help make our day perfect!!

We stayed in Salt Lake for a few days after we got married and stayed at Little America and then our last night at the Anniversary Inn. We had lots of fun and can't wait for our cruise in January!!! Here are a few pictures from our stay...
