1. Wedding Day – It was bitterly cold outside, but the day was perfect overall. After a beautiful sealing ceremony in the Temple, we went to a wonderful luncheon at the Shilo Inn, then to our beautiful reception. It was a perfect day! 
2. I went to Europe then Brad went to the Dominican Republic - Though it was hard to be apart, we were grateful that we had the kind of relationship where we could support one another in taking advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. We both learned a lot. . . and promised that the next time we visited a foreign country, it would be together.

3. Disneyland with Brad’s Family – Our fairytale marriage continued all the way to Disneyland with Brad’s family (and 300 high school students). We had a fabulous time! 
4. Professional Soccer Game with my family— My parents got tickets to a Real Salt Lake soccer game. We spent the morning at Cherry Hill, had dinner at Rodizio Grill, and spent the afternoon at the game. Fun, fun, fun! 
5. Climbing the Grand Teton – Before having a baby, this was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I struggled up that mountain and only made it because of Brad’s help and encouragement. Standing on the summit was unforgettable. We were on top of the world! It was a hundred times worth the effort it took to get there. 
6. Graduating from BYU-Idaho Together – A beautiful spring day last April found Brad and me sitting in our Commencement robes and hats at our college graduation. It was so neat to reach that milestone together! 
7. Going back to West Virginia – Thanks to my parents, we were able to travel back east and tour Brad’s mission in West Virginia. I loved meeting the wonderful people I’d heard so much about, and learned a lot about my husband as I watched him interact with them.

8. Alaina’s Birth Day – Are there words to describe this? Here are a few that somehow feel very inadequate: overwhelming, emotional, exhausting, exhilarating, spiritual, joyful, and life-changing. 
9. Being accepted to medical school— A big focus of our married life together has been preparing and applying to medical school. It was a huge, HUGE relief and blessing to hear Brad had been accepted. . . finally! An unforgettable day!
