A few days before our wedding we got a phone call from Dustin Rigby. He called and asked what our plans were for after the sealing. We explained to him we planned just go home and stay at our house even though we had people staying at our house so he told us he felt it was not a good plan to stay at our house the day of our sealing. Him and his wife got us a really nice hotel room in Tri Cities right on the Columbia River. It was beautiful and we had a great night just spending time together away from Carter. 
This picture was taking the morning after our sealing on the balcony of our hotel room. After we woke up we hurried off to Moses Lake to be at Perkins for breakfast at 9 in the morning. We arrived and we were surrounded by all of our family and friends. We all ate breakfast and then everyone headed over to the Stake Center to help set up. I can honestly say I did not do too much to set up because I was busy getting ready. Our reception followed the ring ceremony and it was a lot of fun. My dad walked me down the aisle and since my family was not able to attend our temple sealing it meant a whole lot to them to see the ring ceremony. Bishop Merrell was the one that conducted our ring ceremony and it was really nice. Our plan was to make our reception a lot of fun due to having a nine month baby at our reception to keep occupied. So we decided to rent a bounce house and we had it in the corner of the gym and it kept all the kids occupied and it was a great hit. Jon I think enjoyed it just as much as all of the kids.
Our ring ceremony was awesome and it made us feel so special. This is when we were exchanging rings and it was officially time for me to wear my wedding ring. 
This little man has my heart! He was our ring bearer and it was awesome. He was carried down the aisle by Craig Hopkins (Jon's best man). He made our day extra special and we had such a blast with him by our sides.
As we cut the cake I told Jon not to put it in my face and he actually listened. Boy I got really lucky! Our cake was so beautiful and made by awesome Mother In Law!!
Our dance was wonderful. We were so untraditional as we danced to the song, "Te Amo". It was so nice. The song means so much to us because of the fact that when we would be riding around in Jon's jeep he would sing it to me and I totally loved it. We got to the point where we would both sing the whole song while looking at eachother so it was so nice to dance with him to that song. I was truly blessed with marrying not only my soul mate but also my best friend.
My daddy and I danced to "I loved her first". It was such a nice time to spend with my dad because of the fact that we have never been the two people to spend time together. While we were dancing he told me how proud of me he was and it made me cry. It was so nice to just have those three minutes with my dad where nothing else mattered and we were able to talk and dance. 
Jon and his mom dancing together, they as you can tell had a great time!
