WEDDING!

I guess it's about time to blog about our wedding! Yea! Well, I started the day at 6 am, got showered and was in the hair/makeup chair by 6:30. Katelyn, my little beautician sister, did my hair and makeup for the big day. She is AWESOME! Thank you forever! I loved it! Gregor picked me up at 9:15 to head up to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I was so nervous, but so excited and did I mention nervous?! We were both really happy and excited to be going to get sealed forever! The night before the Greiners hosted a beautiful wedding dinner at Rodizio's where Gregor had given me a gorgeous ruby and pearl necklace. I gave him a two-man sleeping bag for a wedding gift. (Hey, all the guys I talked to said it was a great idea!). Anyways. The dinner was wonderful and we had our family and friends there. Perfect. Now back to the wedding day. So we got to the Temple and went in for all the hoopla. The sealing was beautiful, my grandfather, Jack Vogl, sealed us as we were surrounded by our family and friends. I think pretty much everyone cried at least a little, the Spirit in the room was incredible! I'm so happy to be Kendall Marie Greiner now! Gregor is so amazing and I'm so grateful that we could be sealed for Time and All Eternity in the House of the Lord. It's the ONLY place to be married!
After the sealing, we took about a MILLION pictures (Thanks, Erik) and then left to go home and chill for a couple hours before the reception. My parents put on a Smith-family luncheon for all the friends and family around and I think Gregor and I both can tell you that it was much appreciated! We were STARVING after not really eating anything in the morning due to all the butterflys in our stomachs. We even got a nap in, can you believe it?! Great day!
The reception started at 6pm that night and let me tell you, it was so so so beautiful in the chapel! We had a family friend, the amazing Debbie, who also decorated Car's wedding, come and do up the cultural hall in Red, Black and Cream everything! We had tons of pictures on display, a gorgeous wedding cake, and roses everywhere! I was so pleased with how everything turned out! Such a perfect day! We got to see a bunch of old friends, family, and wardies, I was lovin' it! We left at 8pm to head to Salt Lake to the Anniversary Inn where my parents had gifted us one of their themed rooms, but we were so hungry after the reception (yeah, tons of food, but like the bride and groom get to eat anything!) we went through the drive-thru in our wedding clothes! I think we threw off the people working there, but oh, well. That salad was AMAZING!
All in all, the best day of my entire life! I'm so grateful to be married to the man of my dreams! He's truly my best friend and I love him with my whole heart and soul. Thank you to everyone who came, helped, gave support, gave gifts, and love to us. We love you all!

Here are some pics! Enjoy!
At Rodizio's. I think everyone ate plenty. Thanks Ma & Papa!The Official Walkout! Mr. & Mrs. Greiner!So happy! The Temple let me borrow this awesome cape that matched my dress and the windy day perfectly.The whole crew. I have a HUGE family!The rings on the bouquet shot. A definite wedding must-have.Ha! Dress-$250, Makeup-$25, Bouquet-$20. Being a Smith girl- PRICELESS!Here's our Temple, baby! Oquirrh Mountain. Best place in the world!These shoes literally MURDERED my feet. So as soon as I could I took them off and just chucked them across the pathway by the Temple. They landed this way and Erik thought adding the bouquet would be a nice touch. I love this picture!MINE! He's such a babe, huh? Luckiest girl in the world!We had the coolest cake! I thought it looked even better after we had to make some last-minute modifications! Gregor totally nailed my nose with the frosting, and wouldn't let me get to him until I pouted a little. Then I smeared it on his nose!Getting jazzed up to throw the bouquet. My mom made me throw it 3 times, because the first two tries weren't good enough!I love my expression here. Oh, boy! He's touching my leg!!! This is the classic "What the HECK did you do to my car???" face. Gregor had a much better reaction than I did. So patient!

The Honeymoon pictures from Hawaii are coming! Next post, baby! Love ya'll!!!

Moving

I have a definite love/hate relationship with moving. Over the years I've acquired tons and tons of crap and moving it is NOT fun. Yesterday we moved into our new condo. It's so beautiful and fun and perfect for us, but sheesh! There's always a fair amount of stress that goes into packing up all your belongings and moving them to a new place. Most of my stuff from my apartment in Temecula has been in storage since moving back to Utah, so we had to get all of that out and moved into our new place. I'm really grateful though to have furniture and pictures and things to fill a home. Our house is going to be so cute and cozy, I'm so grateful that we have it. Gregor is so awesome, he worked his butt off yesterday to get things going. Thanks to everyone who helped, especially Shammah for feeding the masses after we got everything inside. It was DELICIOUS!!! And if ya'll want to give some more service, come help me unpack at your leisure! :)

Poetry

Yesterday I was sick, a horrible problem,
My lungs were all scrambled, no idea how to solve 'em.
To the doctor I went, though with much hesitation,
Shots and weigh-ins are freaky, stress my situation.
But the doctor was nice, and I weighed less than I thought,
No shots were given, just needed some medicine I bought.
The cough syrup was nasty, but helped me to nap,
On a cute boy's chest, Gregor must think me a sap!
I feel so much better, truly healed from affliction,
Now I must teach mid-schoolers, give them some attention.

(Yeah, I know its not very good, but whatever. I really feel tons better!)
