Mr. & Mrs. Van Blerkom!
So we had the wonderful opportunity to go to California almost a month ago and witness one of our favorite couples be sealed together. (not to mention the best part-they're sealed to us too!) It was so amazing to see the love that Brian and Jennica share and remember all of the things that Dallin and I promised at our sealing. Weddings are the best, especially when it's a couple that you care deeply about, to get to see them share the love with one another that you feel with your own spouse. What a treat! Jennica looked beautiful in her dress and the back yard reception was one of the best put together I've ever seen. Lisa planted all these beautiful flowers to match the colors last year and they bloomed beautifully. Little fairytale wedding. We are so stoked to have Jenn as an addition to the family. She is awesome!
We also had the chance to go into San Fran. Obviously it wasn't our first time but we did have a chance to do some stuff that neither of us have done before. We got to drive through Golden Gate Park, and we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. Also we tasted Blondie's Pizza for the first time. SOOO Good. :) We also got to do the standard V stuff, like record shopping at Rasputin's and such.
So then we got to go up to Alberta for Brian and Jenn's Second reception. We stayed in the cutest little town called Waterton. Goats and Rams and Deer were all over the place. We got to see Iron Man 2 in an old school theater (you know where there is only one screen and zero halls) my favorite. Dallin is standing in front of the shop right next to the theater. "Ye Olde Lick & Nibble" :) Worth the picture for a giggle. Jennica says it's the only ice cream shop that does "Moose Trax" ice cream. We also got to go hiking with Dave up Bear Hump Mountain. Beautiful view, and you could tell that the squirrels had been fed alot cause they kept getting so close.
Dallin is a baller
Yeah, that's my shoe.
The reception in Cardston was super cute. Jennica was beautiful again, and we got to eat beef on a bun, which is exactly what it sounds like. Dallin was overjoyed at that fact. I really liked being in a totally different part of Canada from what I've seen. Overall it was a lot of fun to see Brian and Jenn again and it was a good first out-of-the-states experience for Dallin. He definately enjoyed it, but it may take a while for him to graduate to a country more exotic from Canada. Yay for him having a passport though. :) It's a start for foreign adventures, which I love. Now it's just a countdown till our trip to South Carolina. 7 days!
