Hello world!!

The past 3 weeks have been total chaos BUT total and complete BLISS at the same time! Daren and I got married on June 5th and it was the most amazing day of my entire life! The weather was PERFECT!! In fact, the 2 days we had receptions were the only 2 days where it didn't rain. My mom calls that the "Ashlee Factor." Everything turned out so amazing and NOTHING went wrong! We owe a HUGE thanks to our families, especially our parents! Without them NONE of this would have been possible. We had 2 receptions, one in Logan and the other in Salt Lake. Both were perfect! Check out my photographers blog! She just posted pictures from the wedding today and they are AMAZING!!! Alisha was by far the best decision I made for our wedding!

The Sunday after we got married we left for our honeymoon to SAN DIEGO! I had never been there before so I was WAY excited to leave! We stayed in Vegas Sunday night and then drove to San Diego to Monday. We had an AMAZING week there! We went to Sea World, which is the HAPPIEST place on earth! We went to the zoo, a Padres game, the beach of course. We also went to Seaport Village which is totally magical and has some great shopping. It is also where we bought our SWEET hammock. It was so relaxing and it so fun! We had a great time spending a week together, just the 2 of us. We haven't had that much time alone is FOREVER! I'm pretty sure Daren got more entertainment out of watching than anything else. I like a 4 year old kid in a candy store. It was a FABULOUS way to start our new lives together!

Here are some pictures from the honeymoon...Sorry there are a lot!
VEGAS! We also went on a gondola right which was SO magical!

The beach.



Padres game. Don't worry I had my hot dog and coke. It was delicious! And we had AWESOME seats!

Breakfast with Shamu. See how close that water is? That's how close we were to Shamu. Believe it people! AMAZING!

HA!

We got to go on a "Behind the Scenes" penguin tour. This is me touching a REAL LIVE penguin. I named him Murphy. It's kind of blurry because we couldn't have a flash on or the penguin would freak out. We also got to go into the actual exhibit where it was like 3 million degrees below zero. But it was still AWESOME!

Bus ride around the San Diego Zoo.

This is a baby panda. I want one.

Thanks for coming!

We went to a eatery called Hodad's. It was on the Diner, Drive-Ins and something or other show. Anywho. The place itself is probably one of the scariest places I've ever eaten next to Betos BUT I had the BEST Bacon Cheeseburger that I have ever had in my ENTIRE life. Freak. SO good!

SHAMU!

I got to feed a dolphin!

The Saturday we were there Sea World started its Summer Nights. The park stays open late and they have the night shows which totally ROCKS! Saturday night they shot off fireworks and we could see them from the Shamu Rocks show. It was the perfect way to end our honeymoon!

Thanks Sea World for making our honeymoon the most amazing honeymoon EVER!

Of course we had to stop in Beaver to take a picture in the gigantic chair...AND I found Grape Big League Chew! Score! I can't find Grape anywhere in Logan.

And this is what we arrived home to. Isn't it beautiful?!

I told you there would be a lot of pictures. It's hard to choose just a couple...there are still SO many more pictures but I'm getting bored blogging. I'm going to be combining mine and Daren's blog since he doesn't blog at all. Plus we are going to be going private soon. I know I've said that before but now I mean it. So stay tuned for some changes! Much love!
