Officiallly Married!

Garrick and I are officially married now! We just gave our introduction talks this Sunday at our ward. I'd been looking forward to doing it for a long time! I told about where we go to school ect. but I was so nervous I said that Garrick was born in Provo! Defiantly wrong but he corrected it. He also told about how we met. He made it so funny! He talked about how he saw me come into class and wished I would sit near him so he could stare at me (isn't that sweet!) Then he told about his surprise when I sat right next to him! He is cute when he tells stories like that.

Our talks had a "missions of the church theme" mine was Proclaiming the Gospel and his was Perfecting the Saints. The talks went very well and all our cute ward members said nice things, so that was a confidence booster.

Since I'm starting this I feel like I should give some introduction. Garrick and I met at BYU our freshmen year. We started dating about a year after that and then got married this last June. The wedding was perfect! We got married at the Salt Lake Temple and had the reception at a friend's house. Their yard is amazing! The whole day was a fairytale, no problems at all, just fun, family and friends.

As far as intros go I graduated from BYU and am now working on my PhD at the University of Utah. I do cancer research at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and LOVE it! Garrick is working on a mechanical engineering degree at BYU and will hopefully finish soon so he does not have to commute anymore. We are both totally in love and so happy with the way our lives are starting together!
