Mohawk and Guitar Hero...

It has been a fun few weeks for us. I finally convinced Berkeley that he should buzz his head because his hair was getting pretty shaggy, but somehow the agenda changed and a mohawk was the result of my efforts. I liked it though and Berkeley was a fan of it as well. He would be embarrassed if he saw this, but he liked it because it made him feel taller...who knew. He went to work with his mohawk and his boss made him wear a hat and told him it was a dumb-a** haircut! This did not bother Berkeley at all because he kept it over the weekend. We played Guitar Hero and the mohawk seemed fitting for the event. It was fun. I think he would have kept it forever, but I told him he couldn't teach in church with his hair like that, so he grudgingly shaved it off. It was fun while it lasted. Now he is just buzzed-head Berkeley. No more bad-boy image.

It Has Been A While...

Wow, I never update my blog and my friends complain, so here I am! It is time again to add a new post. This should appease those fellow bloggers for a little while...
Life is good and busy as ever. Berk and I are both back in school. I just applied for the Elementary Education program at UVSC, so pray that I get in. Berkeley is majoring in history with an emphasis in political science, but he is also a fantastic ballroom dance man!! He is on the Silver dance team for UVSC and he is so good. If at all interested, come to the Winter Dance Concert in November and watch him show off his skills. Life is good.

St. George Trip

In March, Berkeley and I took a trip to St. George together. It was an awesome weekend getaway! We camped out in our tent in our friend's enclosed backyard. I know, I know, I can't believe how daring and adventurous we are either. We spent Saturday sleeping in, eating a good breakfast, shopping, and swimming in our friend's pool. The weather was amazing! It was in the 80's and so beautiful. That night, we went out to dinner, took a walk, and played basketball at a local park. We then had brownies and ice cream dessert with our friends. We were both pretty upset when we got home because the trip was so nice. We had a great time together.

I Hear Wedding Bells!!

Berkeley and Annie Ward were married on May 21, 2005 at 2 PM in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. It was a beautiful, clear, sunny day. We were surrounded by both of our families and by numerous friends. It was so exciting to come out of the temple for the first time as husband and wife and have everyone applauding us. I wore a white dress with an umpire waist. There were beaded designs all over the terrain. Berkeley wore a black tuxedo with tails and a yellow vest. After the ceremony, we took countless pictures on temple square with family and with each other. When that was over, we were so hungry that we went through the Wendy's drive-thru for some chicken nuggets and frosties. We only had about 15 minutes to relax before we had to be at the church where our reception was being held. Once there, we had another endless picture session. We stood in a reception line for an hour and a half greeting family and friends. Berkeley and I then shared our first dance together to the country song "Me and You" by Kenny Chesney. Then I danced with my dad and Berkeley danced with his mom to the song "Butterfly Kisses." It was an emotional few minutes, but so nice. Next, we cut the wedding cake. Unlike most couples, we were very nice and did not smash it into each other's faces. Last, we threw the bouquet and the garter to all those happy single friends and family members who were in attendance. Our reception ended at 9:30. Berkeley and I changed clothes and got ready to leave. People were lined up along the walkway with bags of rice. I always imagined rice being thrown into the air above the couple's head so it would fall gracefully around them, but we had it thrown fairly ungracefully at us instead. It was fun, but it kind of hurt a little bit! A word of advice to those who are getting married: Use bubbles, not rice...
