Matt & Crista's Wedding ~ May 5, 2012

The morning after we got home from Nebraska was Matt Vance's wedding. Rick ran track with Matt and they are really good friend so we got to go to their sealing in the Bountiful Temple. 

It was a little bit cold that morning but the flowers on the temple ground were absolutely gorgeous!




Here's the bride and groom! Crista and Matt!



More pretty flowers...









And more and more flowers. There were just so many and I loved them! 




After the sealing ceremony and pictures we all went to Crista's home to hang around until the luncheon that was at "The White House" - a nice little reception center pretty close to the temple. It was really nice. We sat by some of Matt's friends, who are also Rick's friends from high school, and the McMurdy family. They used to be in my ward a couple ward splits ago. (Side note: Brother McMurdy was the one that made the cut-out of Nolan for mine and Dawson's wedding). We were served chicken cordon bleu, asparagus, potatoes with a few different kinds of drink options and cake for dessert! 

We didn't stay for the reception since my mom was watching Kimbri (thanks again mom!) and we also had had a looooooong drive the day before  so we needed to get back home and unpacked and a lesson done before church the next day. So we headed home but it was a great day! I always love going to sealings! They're so happy and fun:)



Beautiful Nebraska

**Warning**
This post is mostly pictures of Nebraska around where Dawson and Stacie live. I love taking pictures of the outdoors, especially this type of stuff where there are fields, barns, dirt roads, tractors, etc... Maybe someday I'll get around to painting one or two of these...but that's a big maybe! Anyway, on our last night in Nebraska, as the sun was going down, Dawson took me around town on a ride in his white truck so that I could snap some pictures. So here we go! 
















I like this one a lot!

...and this one!


We saw this on our drive and naturally Dawson got all
excited and told me to take a picture:)


A lot of cows around them parts of Nebraska! Haha!







The twin brotha....

....making an "I'm so cool" face. 

I love this one a lot too!










And now for the sunset pictures. I've always LOVED sunset pictures. When I was little I would take my colored pencils and paper or pastels and go sit out on the hill in front of our house and try to draw the sunset with the little farm just down the road from us, with the tractor, little shed and silos. And ever since then I've just really loved watching the sun set at night!










And there you have it. A post full of a ton of pictures of Nebraska!
