Mom's 50th and 3 month anniversary...

Last week was my Mom's 50th birthday! We decided that as a family we would spend the weekend as a family. So my entire family ventured down to St. George! We sure had a blast! Its been along time since we all have been able to have a vacation together! Even though Tip and I live here it was still a type of vacation for us!! We spent the days playing games, swimming, had a mean game of bocchi, and spent the day up and Zions! We then had a great party for my Mom. We had homemade Cafe Rio salads, Zach put together a great movie or my mom's life and Linzy made and amazing scrapbook full of letters from each family member. We also did hilarious skits!! The Parduhn clan read a great poem (Matt is an awesome reader!). The Christiansens did a great skit about the day in the life if Kayla! Then Linzy wrote an awesome song that the Morgans, Us, and Zach sang. We laughed and cried!! It was a great weekend. We don't get to spend enough time together. But every time we get together we really love and enjoy each other. I have an amazing family! My mom is so great!! I love her so much!! I hope she had a great birthday!! Here are a few pictures (sorry random order)

We also got to spend time with Tip's family on Sunday and Monday for Raegans Baby Blessing. It was great to see them too!! We are both blessed to have such amazing families!! We are so lucky!!

*****ALSO, today is Tip and I's 3 month anniversary!! I can't believe its been 3 months!! It has gone by so fast!! I love him more then ever!! He is honestly my best friend!! We have adjusted to being married pretty good I think!! We have learned a few new things about each other but we still are TOTALLY in LOVE!! He is great!! I can't remember my life without him!!******

the price you pay for marrying a nurse...

Preop...

His cute gown!! He looked hot in the dress.....(hehe)

Post op....yes he is alive!!!

Marrying a nurse isn't all its cracked up to be just ask Tipper. On our honeymoon I diagnosed him with a hernia. Since I work on a surgery floor I talked to one of the surgeons and made an appointment. We met with him last Monday and sure enough he had a hernia. So this morning we had to be to the hospital by 5:45 a.m. and he had his hernia repaired! The surgery went great and he is now home in bed asleep. Poor Guy!! Guess its the price he pays for marrying a nurse!!!

HONEYMOON....Cabo!!

We had a fabulous honeymoon in CABO!! It couldn't have been more incredible!! We stayed in an unbelieveable house!! We drove scooters into town everyday. We went to the beach, snorkled, parasailed, swam and ate!! WE loved it!! I did get a case of food poison (don't drink the water in Mexico, includes ice!) BUT other then that it was perfect!! Thanks to everyone who helped make our honeymoon very dreamlike!!

Mr. and Mrs. Harris

We are MARRIED!! We finally made it!! We got married on July 18 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. The wedding was perfect minus it was the hottest day of the year (100 degrees!). Thanks to both our families for making our day perfect!! We then headed off to Cabo and had a dreamlike/fairytale honeymoon (thanks Stephen and Marsha!). Minus one case of food poisen and a nasty bee sting (Yup, that only happens to me!!) We are back in St. George and moving into our new home!! I will post pictures of the wedding, honeymoon, and new home soon as we get settled!! I just wanted to post and say a huge THANK YOU to every one that came to our wedding and supported Tipper and I! We love you all!!!
