Home Is Wherever I'm With You

There is nothing quite like having

 a new husband, 

with a new job, 

in a new state.

Our 1st apartment!

1st day on the job

ESTES PARK!

We spent the first couple nights Honeymooning in Park City and then made our way to Estes Park.

The drive to Estes Park was supposed to be a 7 hour drive but because of two different roads being closed it turned into a 12 hour drive. 

Did I mention that the heater in Trayco's truck went out so we had to huddle together and share a blanket and gloves we found stashed in the truck?

I remember saying "Someday I hope we can laugh about this"

Estes Park is a beautiful resort town tucked in the mountains of Colorado. 

We stayed at a perfect little cabin condo. 

We spent our time watching movies on the lab top 

(including all 4 Bourne movies in the same day), 

going on walks, bowling, and shoving our faces with food. 

The best part was waking up every morning next to my HUSBAND! 

We went to the store deciding before going in that we would only buy the nail clippers, Trayco so desperately needed. We ended up leaving the store with a dozen doughnuts, a gallon of ice cream, and a 20 pack of Dr. Pepper. :)

"Lost in This Moment With You"

"I am satisfied that a happy 

marriage is not so much a 

matter of romance as it is an 

anxious concern for the 

comfort and well-being 

of one's companion."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

Everything about April 18th was Perfect. 

My favorite parts of the day were: 

-Driving early in the morning with Jamie 

to get my makeup done

-Driving to the temple with my mom

-Seeing Trayco walk into the temple where I was "patiently" waiting

-Trayco squeezing my hand before we parted ways to get dressed

-Watching Trayco get teary eyed in the Celestial Room as he told me how much he loves me

-Feeling a wall of love hit me as we walked into 

the sealing room as we saw all of our friends and family

-Holding Trayco's sweaty hands as the sealer talked to us

-The sealer winking at me when it was time to say my part

-Looking into the mirrors with Trayco, not being able to comprehend how long eternity will be!

-Mom and Jamie helping me change into my dress

-The temple worker saying "Congratulations Sister Ross, your husband is ready for you"

-Feeling like a million bucks walking out of the temple in my dream dress

(Thanks Amy!)

-Telling Trayco not to squint during pictures because the sun was so bright"

-The photographer laying down in the dirt to get the perfect angle

-Getting in the truck and Trayco saying "Soooo we're married"

-Listening to all "our" songs on the way to the luncheon

-All of the kind words people said at the luncheon

-Trayco's mom hitting him during the luncheon video 

when she found out he kissed me on our first date 

-Taking a nap at my house before the reception 

and waking up with my makeup all over Trayco's collar

-Seeing all the sunflowers at the reception

-Little girls from the ward telling me that "I look like a pretty princess" 

-My face hurting from smiling so long at the reception

-My dad crying as I hugged him goodbye 

-Changing out of my wedding dress behind the truck in the corner of the gas station

-Getting food at Wendy's drive through on our way to Park City 

-Trayco: "Remind me again why we decided to book a hotel ALL the way in Park City"
