Four years of wedded bliss!!

Happy 4 year anniversary to us!!

On June 20th, Craig and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! We copied the Larson's idea of going to the temple and then to the beach. I think this was the first time I've been to the beach without children since our honeymoon . . . It was so nice to lay out and not get sand kicked in my face, or have a tired, crying baby climbing on me!

Our wedding party: April Poulter, Jenny Williams, Brittany Williams, Leeann Lundval, Janell Salmon, Me, Craig, Bryon Poulter, Justin Williams, Steven Williams, Adam Poulter, Andrew Poulter, and Dallin Poulter (in front)




Here are some pictures from our day of celebration . . . Our shadow picture at the beach was the only picture of the both of us that turned out! LOL! Gotta love beach pictures. . . they always portray people to look so beautiful at the beach in the TV shows. . . what about the sand stuck to the makeup and sunblock and the frizzy hair from the wind and humidity, not to mention how your hair and makeup are after a swim in the salty, sandy water. . .gotta love it!

Since we were married on June 20th, here are 20 things about our wedding. . .

1. We were married in the Los Angeles Temple.
2. We were married at 10:00 am.
3. We were supposed to be at the temple at 9:00, and I didn't arrive until 9:30! Craig waited for half an hour and thought I was standing him up!
4. Our sealer's name was William, just like Craig and his dad, so on our wedding certificate, the name William, or Williams (my maiden name) is on it 5 times!LOL!

15. In the shuttle on the way from our hotel to the airport there was a family in the shuttle too. The dad said, "I just want you to know that you are traveling with a bless-ed family." We just kind of smiled and said, "oh!" What are you supposed to say to that?LOL!
