A Dragon Halloween

Ashton is slightly obsessed with the movie characters from "How to Train Your Dragon", his favorite being the Night Fury named "Toothless". So, naturally he wanted to be a dragon for Halloween, and we suprised him with Toothless pumpkin designs and a Mario faced pumpkin. Our first married holiday was fantastic!

A Perfect Beginning

We were married October 16, 2010. Millcreek canyon has been one of our favorite places to escape the valley, and during our outings we have been admiring a quaint little gazebo on the edge of a cliff up in the mountain. With some effort we were able to receive permission to use this gazebo for our ceremony! Our perfect place, perfect scenery, perfect weather, perfect timing.


It was a gorgeous day with fall in full splendour! We met up with our parents and the bishop at my parent's home, where I played a piano solo for Aaron before heading out to our perfect destination. The ceremony, performed by Kimo Esplin, was also perfect. Lovely. Spiritual. He talked about how beautiful our perfect place was, high on a mountain peak, and how temples were originally built in the tops of mountains, that our place was indeed perfect for such a ceremony. We were so full of happiness and were able to share that with our parents and son.


Perfect day. Perfect love. Perfect Beginning.
