Ok, so things got a little out of order there at the end.  Apparently we didn't take any Thanksgiving pictures and I haven't uploaded the Christmas pictures yet either.  Sorry! It's been a great year for us and we wish all the best for you and yours!

More pictures for your enjoyment

I'm still having a hard time figuring out how to rearrange the pictures on here once they've been uploaded.  Thus, these pictures are in reverse chronological order.  There are some more wedding and then some reception pictures.

Our sealer and his wife.

The Honeymoon

SOME of the highlights from our honeymoon to Catalina

 

Scuba instructor Bryan

An underwater Ta!

I found a heart shaped cactus!

A monument to Mr. Wrigley - the millionaire who saved Catalina.

Yes, our hotel room was really that close to the water.

The sleepy town of Avalon.

The cute newlyweds.

Just for now....

Due to a slow internet connection, we can't load up too many pictures at once.  We did want to get some pictures up though and let you all know that we did get married on Halloween and had a great time.  Things could not have gone better.  There are more pictures up on Facebook if this isn't enough for you.  Enjoy!  

Adios

Tomorrow is my last day of being single.  I can't believe it.  I also can't wait to begin life with Ryan.  I am truly blessed to have him in my life and to soon be sharing my life with him.  I always thought I would get married when I was in my early twenties.  I thought I'd get married before I graduated from Ricks College.  Little did I know that 2 LDS universities, a mission, and a career later, I would meet my best friend and be marrying him.  I wouldn't have had it any other way.  Ryan is such a better person than I am.  He is calm and patient and always in a good mood.  He has helped me to see the silliness in life and to have fun.  He has also helped me to see the beauty within myself.  He is an honorable man who loves his Heavenly Father.  He does what's right and is always striving to be better.  He's a hard worker and has brains like you wouldn't believe.  He his so hot and the little funny things that he says and does makes him so much hotter.  Ryan is not perfect.  I know of his weaknesses and I love him for working on them and trying to make them his strengths.  He adores his mother and loves his family.  He is kind to others and likes to help those in need.  He is a blessing to me.

Ok, let me dry my eyes now.... It is late Wednesday night and I'm lying on my floor typing this.  I have a bed and a night stand left in my room - oh, and all the clothes in my closet too.  Today was my last day of teaching until 11/10.  No complaints here.  Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.  I've got a manicure/pedicure appointment at 9:00, driving up to Yuba City so that Voclo can do her clucking (all the kids are in town for the big sha-bang), come back down to Sacramento, get Ryan's gift, get his ring inscribed, get my jewelry, pack for the honeymoon, iron a couple wrinkles out of my dress, do laundry, move more stuff over to Ryan's, work on thank-you cards, there's more.... I just can't think of the rest of it right now.

I had better try to get some sleep.  We're still hitting up the gym at 5AM.  Crazy.  

The world is Flat.

At least it is according to best selling author Thomas L. Fridman.  I used to live in St. Anthony, ID and a very good friend, borderline brother has a website, www.sfnewsandviews.com.  Shameless promotion I know.  Gotta love it.  Anyway, he featured us in his online paper under the wedding section.

I'm not suggesting that you go and view it or anything, but if you do, you will find some of the very best journalism St. Anthony has to offer.  And for you lazier types out there, here's the link to our article... Ryan and Kersina

Sneak peek at my dress

Shhh.... don't tell Ryan I posted a picture of my dress..... it's bad luck you know.
