Salem, Utah Reception
Our reception in Salem was BEAUTIFUL! I loved everything about it. My family and friends did a great job with putting it together especially my mom, she's amazing! Here are some pics of it my friend Kenny took. He did a great job.
Its been a while!
Well I know it's been a while but thats ok, I know everyone understands how busy everyone is. Jonny and I are doing great! On Friday we celebrated our 3 week anniversary, unfortunately it wasn't together but I'll get more to that in a minute.
Lets see well I haven't said anything about the actual wedding so let me go on about that for a minute. The weather was perfect on October 3rd. Right when we were walking back to the Temple after pictures it started just drizzling a little bit. We went out to lunch just the two of us and it was great. Then we had the reception at my mom's house and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! When I learn how to post pictures I will do that. We left for Park City that night and spent three days there and it was so nice! It was so pretty with the mountains changing colors and it rained most of the time but it was still gorgeous! We came back home and started setting up our apartment which is in Spanish Fork (again I'll post pics soon) and then the following weekend went to Reno for our reception out there. It was so nice to see everyone again and that reception was beautiful too!
Now were back home and getting more into the swing of things. I LOVE being married and I wouldn't of changed a thing about the wedding! I wanted to thank everyone for ALL that they did and the traveling that some had to go through. I love you all and wouldn't of changed anything, except my shoes! :) haha oh well!

The Proposal
First and foremost it should be known that I, Jonny, was going crazy not being able to propose to Whitney sooner, (long-distance relationships are way harsh) but for the love of my life it was absolutely worth it!
On Friday August 29, 2008 Whitney was flying into Reno to spend labor day weekend with me, so I decided I needed to throw her off a little to make it as much of a surprise as possible. Whitney had to switch planes in Vegas, so when she called me I told her that I had gone out to eat with some co-workers and I was feeling sick from eating too much but it was nothing to worry about. I told her I'd be right there at security to see her off the plane.
Well, her flight was supposed to come in at 10:10pm, but of course it wouldn't even make it until nearly midnight! Nevertheless, instead of me being there I sent my sister, Alexandra, to go pick up her from the airport. Not only was Whitney disappointed at the fact that I wasn't there to meet her, but we can say that she was just as, if not more, discontent that Alexandra told her that I was at home puking my guts out due to a fake case of food poisoning. (I think it's also good for you to know that the airline had damaged both of Whitney's suitcases somewhere along the way to Reno as well, so you can imagine what a terrible night she was having).
So on the way home Alexandra had to pick up my brother, Erick, from Reed, the high school where Whitney and I met and really got to know each other. Erick was there with a single yellow rose and a poem attached to give to her. On the opposite side of the poem it read "Past." After reading the poem Alexandra then took Whitney to the Sparks Marina, a very special place to the both of us. It was there that I had one of my friends, Terry Zenz, with a single red rose and another poem attached to give to Whitney. On the opposite side of this poem it read "Present." After reading that poem Alexandra took Whitney up to the Reno, NV, Temple for the final part of my proposal to her. I stood at the front gate for what seemed like and eternity. With every car that passed by my heart would start pounding like a jackhammer! Finally that black Toyota Carola, carrying the happiness of my life, came rolling up the hill to the temple. Keep in mind that it's about 1am, so it's just us up there. I take Whitney from the car, and Alexandra takes off for home. It's just me and her now. We embrace each other with plenty of hugs and kisses and simply look into each others eyes. I then give my last rose to her, a single white rose representing my pure and eternal love for her. And of course this rose also has a poem on it that I read to her, and yes on the opposite side of the poem it says: "Future." I tell Whitney how much she means to me and how much I love her. I always imagined myself saying the perfect words right before asking her, but just looking into each others eyes said more in that moment than than a whole lifetime of words, poems or songs could ever describe. I pulled the ring out of my pock, got down on one knee (right at the front gate of the temple) and ask Whitney to marry me. Of course she says yes, in fact she specifically said, "Yes! Of course!" She pulls me up, and we share our first kiss as a newly engaged couple!
So I'm sure you can tell how much Whitney means to me. She is truly the one and only love of my life, and I truly feel more blessed to be with her than I have ever felt before! I don't know how, but everyday I fall more and more in love with her. I can only say that it's a good thing that we have an eternity to be together, because that's about how long it'll take for me to explain how crazy I am for her.

Just the beginning
So we decided to start up a blog about our lives together from the very beginning. So this first post is just going to be a little background on the two of us and then it will take off from there. I met Jonny when we were 16 and we were Juniors in High School. It was my favorite year of High School, everything was perfect! We went to football games, church activities, performances everything you can think of down to Prom. It was wonderful! Then our Senior year came and as many as you know my Dad was killed in an accident. We broke up a couple weeks after that and didn't really hang out. After a couple of months we slowly became friends again and that led to a relationship, ever since then we've been together. Even though I moved to Utah with my family after I graduated we still have been extremely close to each other. Jonny left on his Mission July 5, 2006 to the Dominican Republic West mission where He was there for 2 years. We wrote back and forth and I'm not going to lie, it was very hard but totally worth it! He had a great mission and made tons of friends that will be there for him for the rest of his life. He returned home July 10, 2008 and it was a great experience. His family let me come out to Reno when He came home and when He stepped off the plane my heart literally stood still, it was the best feeling. I'll never forget that moment when He came up to me and gave me our first hug in 2 years! It was so comforting. Our relationship since then has just gotten better and better. He's amazing and He's my best friend.
