Welcome to our blog! My name is April and on October 19th 2012, I married my best friend Paul for time & all eternity.

It all started when we were both just 16 years old. Yeah, one of those crazy high school romances that actually made it! We went to school together. He baptized me, I sent him off on a mission, we wrote each other, I waited, he came home, we got engaged, and now we're happily married! And for the last 5 1/2 years we've only grown to love each other more and more with every day that passes.

So far, this journey has been so rewarding filled with fun, laughter, and yes even tears here and there. Every moment is worth it. We hope you guys will enjoy taking this journey through marriage and life with us.

Bridal Shower #1

Okay, I guess that first blog post was kind of pathetic. So hopefully this one's a little bit better:

Yesterday Paul's mom and sisters threw me a bridal shower and it ended up being a success. I don't know about you guys but a lot of times when I go to other people's bridal showers it can get a little awkward. This bridal shower consisted of the ladies from my old family ward, Paul's mom's relatives, and close family friends of my mom that I actually haven't seen in long time. So as you can imagine I was a little nervous and besides, I don't really like it when all the attention and questions are centered towards me. Nonetheless, the decorations turned out really great, the food was awesome and all the ladies that came were really nice and made the event so much fun to be a part of. I'm so grateful for all the work that Cheri and the girls did to make this experience a great one. It's also a blessing to have the love and support of so many people. And the gifts that were given were things that Paul & I could really use to start out our new life together so we really do appreciate it.

Some of the Ladies on my Mom's side. Love them all!

Of course when this festive shin dig was all over I was happy to spend the rest of my Saturday with this man!

Where to begin

We're engaged! Well we've been engaged for a little while now. Since July to be exact and right now we're in September. OOPS! I promise once this whole wedding planning thing starts to simmer down a little and once I start to get a hang of this whole blogging world I will post more. Until then this blog will be just a whole lotta boring and there will be a whole lotta nothing! SORRY ALYCIA :)

Sincerely,
Soon to be Mrs. Paul Mayer
