Hiatt Happiness!

Yay! We got married!
(a man in the background was happy for us! haha)



The photographer did a good job and we got some nice pictures of the wedding

 

 

Pretty good cry ratio--only Abigail on the far left haha 

 

 

Hooray 5 sisters! Thanks for getting your outfits so nicely put together guys. You did good! 

 

Getting married was joyous! And the honeymoon was also very joyous!

First we went to Lake Tahoe

 

And it was sweet! Lake Tahoe is so pretty and we drove on the top of a mountain overlooking it.

Then we went to the REDWOODS!!! They might have been a little more favorite than the other favorite places 

The truck barely fit through this tree haha but we made it

The Redwoods were as glorious as the last time I went and even way better. We were so happy!  

 

We camped in the back of BIlly's truck underneath the Redwoods and then in the mornign we went on a huge hike that we had no idea would be so long. It was kind of creepy cus we were just in these creepy foggy woods and there was no one else around and when we got to the top, we had been promised views for 100 miles, but we could barely see each other cus it was so foggy! But it was still sweet.

Then we drove down the coast on Highway 1, which was awesome!

And we stayed in Mendocino in our own little cottage with our own little water tower and our own little hot tub and fireplace and breakfast in the morning. It was bliss! (in fact, they gave us a bottle of wine called bliss. We did not drink it. haha)

 

Mendocino was great, and then we went to San Fran! San Fran was so sweet!!

We wanted to go to Lombard St., but we heard it was too narrow and crooked for our truck and on the way to it there were all these signs warning against big vehicles, but we totally went down it anyway! Haha it was awesome 

Jamie gave us some great reccomendations and we went to Pier 39, ate crab and fish, saw gay people and stumbled upon this joyously hilarious surprise: 

Haha we laughed our heads off.

Continued...

Then we went to Yosemite!! I was a little nervous becuase we had already seen the world's wonders, but it ended up being amazing and blowing my mind!

Turns out there are trees that are fatter around by almost twice than the Redwoods, but not as tall.  

So even though they were sweet becuase they were so fat, I didn't feel like they were as cool as the Redwoods. But they were still amazing!

And Half Dome was so cool!

We were sad it was closed cus we didn't get to hike it, but it still was incredible! I had no idea such a cool place even existed. 

After Yosemite, we returned triumphant to the home front. It has been quite nice and we are all moved in with our bottle of wine and keepsake Tahoe pine cone 

and our pet tarantula! 

 

You better believe we are ever in the debate over whether we should keep him or not. But I think we're kind of starting to get attached....

Anyway, the Hiatts are happy! Onward and upward! 

Aw Yeah

See ya then! (or sooner, for most of you!) Ebullience!

Time Flies

What were you doing 18 days ago?

(That was a Thursday, Sept 6th, by the way)

That wasn't very long ago, was it!? HOLY COW!

WE'RE GETTING MARRIED IN 18 DAYS!

See ya then!

Hey Mom

Usually when I email Mom I have so much to say in that email that I don't know what to put as the subject line so I just write "Hey Mom." Thus, the title of this blog.

Here are some things that have been happening:

Mom came and took our engagement pictures! It was joyous

 

 

It's just especially great that you can totally tell we are right on the shore haha it was a lot harder than we anticipated to take pictures in a boat on a lake of moving water

 

Haha champions of rowing!! Where are the skateboards when you need them!? 

 

Krista Face!

 

 

 

We were, of course, in this moment mocking how Mom and Dad always want me and Bum to recreate the shoulder picture. Oh geez.

 

 

 

So this bench said Feed Ducks. And also 

haha. not using that one on the invites haha

"Buy our real estate!"

And it was my birthday! 

Billy bought me climbing shoes! and decorated our house (that is our house, for the Willises who haven't seen it) and treated me like a queen!

Also, wedding plans are ever in the works. There will be no provided birdesmaid outfits (sorry guys) but if you will all find yourselves an outfit with either Carolina blue or chocolate brown or both, that'd be great.

These aren't the best representations of colors (the brown is a little dark. I'm assuming you allk now what Carolina blue is), but it's pretty close. 

Also, school started. And that was fine. But i am taking all the most time consuming classes in my program except for one, so it is a little rough. I don't really do homework hahah.

Also, I am going to run a marathon on Nov. 17!!! I AM SO EXCITED! Billy might too.

Also, Bum and I are on a vball team with the twins and it is great!

Also, Billy and I celebrated my not going into the MTC and the start of a one-month countdown yesterday by visiting Temple Square. haha it was so funny and so great and so joyous. And the new mall up there is sweet!

And Lise and I went to the Brigham City Temple Open House. It brought me to tears! I was SO HAPPY! it was so pretty, and I was so excited to be able to go to the temple soon and especially so excited to be sealed to Billy in a temple where that kind of thing really works for all eternity.

All is well! In fact, it's great! I don't have time to breath or sit or think (or blog) but I am more ebullient than I've ever been!
