We are back from our yearly family trip to Mexico with my family. This year we went to Nuevo Vallarta which is basically 10 minutes out of Puerto Vallarta. It was beautiful and we had a blast! I can't post pics unfortunately since Garrett has them on his computer, but I will have him post some later. In other news, today I got to go to my cousin's wedding at the St. George temple. It was a white wedding which I have never been to before and it was really cool. The sealer was a man from my parents ward and he did an amazing job. It was really cool to attend a sealing today since six years ago I was being sealed to the love of my life in the San Diego temple. It was really neat for me to listen to the advice the sealer gave and to think about how I'm doing at being a good wife and making my marriage an eternal marriage. It was a great reminder to me to be better. One funny moment from the wedding is that Rylynn was completely enthralled with my cousin and her dress. She just kept saying, "Oh I love her beautiful white dress. It's so sparkly!" At random times throughout the day she would just go up and touch her dress. She just wanted to be by her the whole time. She told my grandma that when she grows up she is going to have a beautiful white dress and get married in the temple!
So I just want to say that I am the luckiest girl in the world and I have the best husband! I couldn't be happier with my choice to marry Garrett and I have loved spending the last six years being his wife. He is an amazing father and a very supportive husband. I am thankful that he is the spiritual leader in our home and he is always striving to perfect himself. I really admire that about him. I also have to admit that even though I make fun of his sense of humor for being old man humor, I do love it! He makes me laugh so much and I never get sick of talking to him. I could shut out the world and talk to him all day long if I had the choice, but unfortunately we live in the real world, so I am grateful that he works so hard for us in school and work. He is a wonderful provider and I am so glad he is mine!
Another random story...I am loving spending time with my extended family out here and my Dad's mom is staying with my parents right now so it has been great to see her. She will be 94 in a month and I am amazed at what a strong person she still is. Since we have been around all this family lately I have been explaining to Rylynn that her Nana is my Mama and that her great Nana is her Nana's Mama. She loves pointing out that my mom is my mama and that I am her mama. So tonight at dinner she was saying that and my mom said, "that's right, and great grandma Monson is Papa's mama." Then Rylynn said there sure are a lot of mama's around here! It was so funny. Anyway, this is a really random post but that is the update. I will post pics soon!

Still jealous about the whole Mexico thing ;) Anyway, we miss you and Olivia keeps hearing Ben and Molly upstairs and says "Rylynn's home?!" and I have to tell her, no it's just Rachel's brother. She misses Rylynn a lot! By the way, what's a "white wedding"?
a white wedding is when you are sealed in a sealing room that is in the celestial room. They only do them at Manti and St. George, and everybody who attends the sealing has to be in temple whites.
It was so good to see you at the wedding! I love your cute kids. It was a great sealing and I also left with a feeling gratitude for my husband. I think I told him about 30 times that I loves him on the drive back to Salt Lake. Mo
Hey! I just got back from being out of town and I got your message about the flat irons. I will give you a call or you can have your sister in law call me, either way. I should be heading out to the beauty supply in the next couple weeks, if that works for you. Sorry I was gone and couldn't get back to you that day. Hope you re having fun! I am excited to see pictures of your Mexico trip.
Craig and I loved having dinner and visiting with you on Friday. He is excited to meet Garrett at the family reunion! I'm glad you'll be close this summer :)
Hello Hall Family!! I can't wait to see those pics! Glad you guys are doing well! Hope Garrett's job is going well! Congrats on your Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary Rach! I am excited to see some pictures from Mexico and Utah and everything. Sounds like you guys are doing great. When will you be in Utah until? Spence's 10 year reunion is in Utah on Aug 22 and we may come home from WA through Utah and be there around then. Will you guys still be there I hope?
Oh I was also wondering what a white wedding is- but see from your comment below, that is way cool.
Hey, I can't wait to see the pics from Mexico. What a great tradition to do with your family. Happy birthday!
