My New Swimming Buddy

I know this is a surprise to many out there but, we do live on an island surrounded by water.  My favorite activity here on the island is to go snorkeling.  Shannon and I went out together on President's Day and then I went out again the next day while Shannon has a pretty late lab.  It had rained a little and luckily I got some sunshine but the water was a little cloudier than normal.  I was able to get some good pictures and a surprise.

I love these little puffer fish. 

There a sea urchins like this all over and it is cool to see their color stick out from the sand and rock.

There was a school of 5-6 of the fish, I wish I had gotten a better picture.

The first time I had seen a sea turtle .  He was just munching on some coral for food and didn't mind that I was there.

Reception (aka Party Time!)

Here are some pictures of the reception party.  There are so many of people that helped  make it look so wonderful  and we want to thank all of you that helped and that could come and celebrate with us.

He got a little tired.

If it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face, or on it.

Finally a chance to sit down. 

They sang a beautiful song for us.

Proof that I did dance.

This picture of my brother Robert just makes me laugh for some reason.

The escape!

Wedding Day!!!!!!

As previously promised here are some pictures from our Wedding.  I cannot take credit for how amazing they look, that is due to my amazingly beautiful wife and our super awesome photographer Amy (you can check out her blog here http://elizaandelizabeth.com/blog).  Shannon and I were so lucky to have so many wonderful people who have greatly influenced us in the temple with us and so many loved ones to celebrate the great day at our reception.  And thanks to everyone that helped!

Everyone waiting for us to come out of the temple.

I wasn't scared, do you see how ripped my friends are. (Hey ladies only one of them is married) 

We didn't chose the hard life, the hard life chose us.

See what the hard life does to you.

Stunning!!!!!
