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.

An amazing 2012!

Sorry this post is a little late and also a little long! Things have been pretty busy in the Mayer house hold since we've been married. We were both so sad to have had to say goodbye to the year 2012. So many great memories were made and I think it's safe to say that for at least me and Paul, 2012 was one of our favorite years ever and here's why....

I'll go back to the very end of Decembember 2011. I had celebrated my very last Christmas without Paul and had the best Skype date:


In January I started off the new year by going back to school with this cute girl:


February Paul & I celebrated our last Valentines day apart:

He still took the time to send me his love though!


March of 2012, Paul FINALLY got his last Christmas package from home that was sent to him 3 months before while I took his dad to go see Jimmer play because he just loves him:








April 2012 I finally turned 21! I also go to run my very first half marathon and loved it!




May 2012, my brother graduated from college. Paul continued to enjoy his last month in
 the Philippines:

June 2012, specifically June 7th 2012 became one of my FAVORITE.DAYS.EVER!
My best friend came home and I got the best hug I've ever gotten in 2 years. The handshake was awkward though for real:





In July 2012 we got engaged:


August 2012 we celebrated Paul's 22nd birthday.
We also got a really amazing photographer to take our engagement pictures:
Check them out at www.lillieandgrace.net
They've got some great deals going on right now.



September 2012 Paul's very first companion from the MTC, Elder Schoorl stopped by for a visit from Oregon. So happy to finally meet him! He's single ladies ;)

October 19th 2012 happened to be the actual BEST.DAY.EVER.....EVER
I got to marry my high school sweetheart and best friend in the SLC temple for time and all eternity. He must love me cause we pretty much got married twice that day :)




In November we celebrated Thanksgiving. And stayed up all night during Black Friday to get these pretty awesome phones for a dollar:


December we celebrated our first Christmas married and finally physically together in 2 years. We also realized how difficult it is to split holidays! Sheesh, good thing both our families live only 2 minutes apart so we can split the holidays with them on the same day. Paul also had to work Christmas morning. LAME right?! So we woke up bright and early to open up our gifts from each other. 5 a.m. to be exact!




And here comes the new year!

As you can see we've been busy!
Even though it's been crazy lately, a few things that we always try to remember
as we go about our days are to always enjoy the journey that life takes us through, to always love one another through the good and bad times and most importantly that FAMILY COMES FIRST. No matter what! I absolutely LOVE & ADORE my husband and am so glad to have gone through all this craziness and happiness with him.
Bring.It.On 2013
We're ready for ya!
