Honeymoon in Hawaii

We went on a honeymoon to Maui in March. We had a great time. It was the most amazing place either of us had been, it was very hard to come home.

Ashley was excited to finally get to be by the ocean and on the beach. The ocean was beautiful in the morning. We went running a couple of mornings We could run on the beach everyday.
Phil was ready to get the vacation started! We stayed at a condo that Phil's boss let us use. It was just a short walk away from the beach.

We went on a helicopter ride when we were there. It was raining pretty bad, but is was still the coolest thing either one of us had done.

We went golfing two days. The first day we golfed at the Royal Kaanapli. If you watch the Big Break this season, that is where we golfed. It was very cool golfing right by the ocean and the beach. It rained so hard that we were both soaking wet after we got done.

The second day we played at The Dunes at Maui Lani. It was tough, but the weather was beautiful.

Phil snorkeled at Molokini Island and Turtle Town. The fish were beautiful and he came very close to a turtle.
Ashley stayed on the boat while Phil snorkeled. They saw amazing whales, and the boat almost ran into a mom and her baby. The captain of the boat said it was the second time in 9 years he had ever gotten so close to a whale.

Ashley had never eaten sushi, so the last day she had some raw salmon. It was ummmm ok.

Mini-Honeymoon in Vegas

A week after we were married we went to Las Vegas for 4 days. We had so much fun. We sat by the pool in 120 degree weather, went to a show STOMP, the World Series of Poker was in town and ate at some wonderful restaurants. We had a great time just enjoying each other's company and walking around exploring everything.

Willetts McAllister (Mac)

After our engagement, we thought we should add to our family. Mac came to us in January 2006. He is a beagle and is all beagle!!! He is so much fun. He loves to follow his mom around and to run with his dad. He absolutely loves to go see grandma and grampa (my parents) out at the ranch and run around. We can't imagine life with out him.

......and she said yes!

After 2 1/2 years of dating, Phil proposed to me on December 8, 2005. He proposed to her at their home after a long day of work. It was about 11:30pm but they still called everyone they knew. I was so excited and could not wait to walk down the aisle.

We were married on the most popular wedding date of the year, 07/07/07. It was by far the best day in our lives.

I heard of this from a friend in Utah that I went to High School with, and thought it was so wonderful. Thank you Nicole for sending us the address to yours so we could do the same thing!
Hope you all enjoy our blog spot. Thought this would be a great way to keep everyone up to speed with what we are up to. Enjoy!
