5 Years and Counting...

I can't believe it's been 5 years since that freezing cold, wonderful day. I used to think I couldn't remember much about that day, that it was all a blur, but actually I think I remember a lot. *Waking up to a snow storm. *Kristen doing my makeup. *Going to get my hair done, having my mom following me around with an umbrella. *Freaking out that my temple bouquet wasn't what I planned and having Bob and Lori come to my bouquet rescue. *Driving very, very slowly through the icy slush into Salt Lake. *Waiting and waiting for late Blake (or was that the night before at the Bountiful Temple? Maybe things are a blur.) *In the bridal room, with my mom, getting ready--another girl had my same dress. *Sitting with Blake in the Celestial Room, waiting for everyone to be seated in the Sealing Room. *The kiss. *Looking in the mirrors for eternity. *Walking out of the temple to see yellow "Caution" tape strung all over and everyone bundled up, except me. *Wishing Blake would give me his jacket. *Having all my family and friends around me and then seeing them run inside once their part of the pictures were over. *Busting the ties on the back of my dress. *Pictures, pictures, pictures! *Walking through the secret tunnel from the temple to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, planning our speech for the luncheon. *Giving the speech. *The Robisons singing their song--the only words I really remember, though, were something about me not loving Blake for his jeep. *Taking a nap. *Seeing my family work so hard to make the reception perfect. *More pictures. *Missing Andy. *Lots and lots of people. *Eating, shoving, and throwing wedding cake. *Watching my perfect wedding video. *Throwing the bouquet. *Seeing a very nicely snow-decorated "Just-Married" car. *Eating our first meal alone as a married couple--a Wendy's kid's meal, in the car! It was my perfect day and, of course, the things I remember most are how much I love Blake and how happy I felt. I am so lucky to have the best husband ever!
