It's official...We're Married!!!

I know everyone is used to this being Brian's blog but he has now informed me that it is "our" blog. Today you get to have the story from Lerin with a bit of Brian thrown in here and there [It's called proofreading :-) ].
So it happened. We got married on the 21st of August in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was a perfect day, sunny with no wind. I know--Idaho and no wind?--crazy! We had two wonderful receptions the first in Rigby. It was everything I wanted it to be. Thanks to all my family for all the help. Brian planned [and pulled off] a very romantic evening down at the red lion hotel. Then it was on to Fruitland where my wonderful in-laws put together a great open house in their yard. I am so grateful for all the work they did. On Sunday morning we headed on our long drive to Sunset Beach, California. We stayed in a condo--it was so nice and just a block from the beach. Monday was just a lounge day and playing on the beach. Tuesday we were off to Disneyland--happiest place on earth. Wednesday was another beach day. Thursday we went to San Diego and went to the temple and then had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack: so good. I of course had crab and Brian had steak and shrimp. That night Brian took me to see Wicked the musical. It was amazing. then Friday we went back to Disneyland and California adventure. Then Saturday we headed for home.
We stayed at my sister's house in Orem We found out Sunday morning that my Grandfather Johnson passed away so we stayed til Monday and brought Annie and the kids to Idaho with us for the funeral on Wednesday. The honeymoon was great and I have an amazing husband that has been a wonderful support during this tough time in my family.
Thanks to everyone that helped with the wedding, it means so much to us that you got to share our wonderful day with us.
