The Party, The Food, and Forever




So I finally have something to blog about! Yay:)


RECENTLY (two weeks and a day) I got married to Andrew Lowrey the LOVE my life and best friend.

As if this wasn't enough to make August 11th 2011 one of the most important days of my life, My two best friends from high school, Heather Sampson and Sarah Fischbuch, came AND my five great friends of late, Talyn Hohneke Kate Sawyer Megan Butler Zach Cooper and Martha Davidson flew all the way to be there!

My hair and makeup were perfect, my dress looked awesome, Andy looked super slick and almost everyone I wanted to be there was there. Afterwards we took pictures at the beach and then joined the rest of the party at P.F. Changs for dinner. Best dinner EVER. Andy's mom bought us a bed and breakfast to stay in for the next few nights. At first we were a little nervous when we pulled up because we didnt really stop and think of the concept that a bed and breakfast is someone elses house. It felt a little like we were spending the night at our parents house on our wedding, but none the less we continued inside and it was actually really cozy:).

After San Diego we brought the party to Galveston. Andy bought us a cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon. It was really the best plan because we had already done so much traveling and were quite sick of it. If you take a cruise the traveling part is just as fun as the actual vacation! The food was amazing... 247 icecream pizza, and room service. The lunch buffet was so awesome! Chicken hot dogs and burgers all you can eat!! Lemonade was my favorite drink, but I was not as dedicated to it as Andy was to his Chocolate milk. No joke, he drank four a meal because its his favorite and its free!

MEXICO. On the cruise we got to spend two days in mexico, 1 in Progreso and another in Cozumel. In Pregreso we just spent a lot of time at the beach and walked around finding fresh fruit vendors and souvenirs to take home to our new apartment. Cozumel was all about the shopping and touristy stuff. We went swimming with the DOLPHINS, and then we ate at an authentic mexican restaurant which was the best mexican food I have ever had in my life... and my family is mexican. Not kidding! If you are in Cozumel you should look up El Abuelo Gerando.

We returned to Houston Saturday, and had to immediately set up for our open house that night. My mom being as fabulous as she is made our house look like a reception at a country club. It was so awesome to see everyone and celebrate once again Andy and I getting married. We appreciate all the wishes and presents we received from everyone!!

We finally got home to our new apartment in Rexburg that monday. At first it didn't quite feel like home because we only had a few things of furniture and boxes everywhere, but after a week of cleaning and a little decorating it is starting to feel like home.

So far our first few weeks of forever has been a big party and tons of fun. We hope that the adventure continues :).
