jon & meg: temple

They are officially the Moffitt's and I couldnt be more happy for them! The temple was absolutely perfect. They were lucky enough to have their best friend's dad, Mike Ringwood, seal them and he did a great job.

Love Jon's wood ring!
{thanks for the pic Jess}

Now on to the reception!

extreme makeover

In the midst of Meg's wedding, our anniversary, etc, Extreme Makeover Home Edition was building a house down the street from mine so I knew I had to find time to go over there and be a part of it. I went with my sister Katie and and my friend Megan to volunteer at the second day of building. Because it was so early on and they were framing the house there wasn't much work for three scrawny girls!

Our first task, thanks to a guy in my ward who was in charge of volunteers, gave us the lovely job of smashing down the garbage in the dumpster. From below it didn't seem to bad...all we could see were a bunch of boxes and rubble from the house--until we actually got up in it and discovered that it was full of food, boxes, drinks, etc. SICK! Luckily there were enough boxes for us to break down and coverup the gross stuff and then we were able to stomp it all down. It was gross, but it needed to be done so we were glad to help!

After that we helped in the catering tent with food, waters, etc.

Showing off our t-shirts (and muscles!)

In the dumpster!

It was fun being able to see the "behind the scenes" of the show and see how things really work and Im glad I was able to be a part of it. Stay tuned for the episode this fall!

the days before the big day

The days leading up to the wedding were busy of course, but so much fun!

A few days before the wedding Meg went through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was such a special night and Im glad everyone came out to my neck of the woods to my favorite temple!

The next night was the wedding dinner at Hidden Valley Country Club and it was so fun! We all love Jon's fam and it was such a fun night getting to know them better.

Some of the fam gave a little advice to Meg and Jon

Brooke, me and Katie made up a funny poem for them!

Jon and Al are such good friends, I love it!

SCOTTY!

It was such a fun {and emotional} night and got us really excited for the wedding! Pics to come when I get around to it! :)

.san clemente 2011.

A few weeks ago we spent a week in one of my favorite places in the world...San Clemente, CA.

We spent our time at the pool, shopping, eating, the beach and more shopping...or in other-words a perfect week!
