*had to share*

I just saw this on my old roommate Amanda's blog and simply had to share it - I thought it was so cute and creative! Weddings are supposed to be joyful occasions, after all...

Doesn't it just make you smile a little? :)

a few more from our Washington trip...

As I was looking through some pictures, I realized I never posted a few great pictures from our Washington trip with Jonathan's family!

The Boster men had a mustache-growing contest for Joseph's wedding -




The bride and groom the day before their wedding!



Sierra and Andrew -


ALL of the Boster girls - hmmm, not sure if we got one with everyone smiling, just being goofy -



ALL of the Boster men -



James was SO tired after the long drive and all the excitement -


Couldn't wait to go swimming in his new Cars swimsuit!!

I just love a good wedding...

Friday was the wedding of my amazing brother-in-law, Joseph, and his beautiful bride, Megan. They were married in the Columbia River Washington Temple and it was just a beautiful ceremony. I love weddings, they are just so happy and fun, and they always remind me of mine and Jonathan's wedding. :) Of course I had to take my new camera! I ended up getting tons of great shots - I just couldn't narrow it down much, so I have posted a TON of pictures from the happy day here. Hope you enjoy!
