So I wasn't going to post this until we had the pictures, cause we all know pictures are better with posts, BUT I don't don't have them yet. We took a bunch, so keep checking back!
Anyways! This weekend was a blast and Shon and I are so blessed to have family and the many friends that we had to come out on both Friday and Saturday.
Let's start with Thursday--I know we all have good Bishop stories, but Shon and I would put money down that our Bishop is the best! Even though he isn't our Bishop anymore...but he is SO incredibly awesome with such a huge heart. And Andrea, his wife...omigosh! Love her to pieces, would do anything for that woman! I could just squeeze her! They bought ALL of our temple clothing, bag to put it all in, all the way down to our white socks! Shon and I are SO grateful to them! We love them so very much!
Friday was just as packed as Saturday. Shon and I got up, went to get my blood work done (see previous post), had breakfast out (even though we didn't eat much-nerve thing), had some errands to run, then came home and got ready to go to the Timpanogos Temple to receive our endowments. Thank you to Shon's aunt and uncle to escorted us and ALL the friends that were there! We couldn't believe how many of our good friends were there to support us during our Endowment session! It was wonderful! Afterwards, we were all starving! So we went to Los Hermanos with Jay, Debbie (Shon's uncle and aunt), Kellie and Schylar (cousins), Ashton of course, Shon's mom and dad and Shons's brother and wife.
Saturday we started at 5:30 a.m.---yes a.m.! We had to be in Manti BY 10:30 a.m.--we made if by like 2 seconds! Shon loves it when I curl my hair, which only takes about 2 hours to do...but I love him and he is stuck with me FOREVER, so I did it. Our Manti sealing was also packed with so many close friends and family! Thank you to all of you who showed up. It was so spiritual-and we couldn't have asked for a better Sealer! He was so awesome! We were so surprised at the support of some of our ward members who drove all the way down there. I am not sure there was a dry eye in that room! I love the Manti Temple. It has ALWAYS held a special place in our hearts. We always knew that was the temple we wanted to be sealed together in. The workers there were so sweet and I loved the bride's room! I was really having a hard time going by my maiden name for two days by the way! Everything said "Mays" for my maiden name. It was so awkward.
Shon and I are so happy. I didn't think we could be happier, but we are. It is such a great feeling to know you are sealed to your best friend for all time and eternity! He's stuck with me now! LOL!
Thank you Shon for loving me and waiting for me to find out for myself how I wanted our future to be. You truly saved me and I'm not sure where I would have been without you. I can't wait to return to the temple to seek answers about our children with you. I know I picked the best of the best when it came to you.
Now we have forever with eachother! I love you!
P.S. check back for pictures..and Shon made a slide show of a few years we have had together. I will try to post that too! He did a good job!

I am so happy for you. I'm glad you have found your happiness in this life. Good things are sure to come. I'm sorry I missed both Friday and Saturday events...and plus the open house, we ended up being a lot longer with my shower and dinner with my cousin than I anticipated. Anyway, I thought of you the whole day...well, maybe not the WHOLE day since my Saturday was packed too...but I DID think of you. Again, Cristina, Shon and Ashton, congratulations. Much love!
