Married Friends (the Heatons)

Ever since we got married I have felt like I don't have a lot of friends to hang out with.. Especially when we lived in Spanish Fork. Since we've moved to Orem, it's been a lot better. We have a lot more married friends that are close. It's really nice to be able to invite people over and not make them drive a half hour both ways. But even though we've made more and more married friends, some of our closest friends are still single and it's hard to hang out as a three-some. Especially when that one person is better friends with either Ben or me. Lucky for us, the last of Ben's really good friends finally decided to settle down. ;)
@ Our Wedding (Aug. 2010)
Anyway... Since Christopher came all the way to California for our sealing, when we heard that he and Cassie were going to become Mr. & Mrs. Heaton we were hoping that we would be able to go. We were so excited for them! Anyway... they decided to get married on December 22nd. It was pretty close to Christmas so we had to make sure our travel plans didn't conflict. It worked out very well and we were able to attend the sealing on Thursday and then drive to Kanab Friday morning for the reception on Friday night. It's been a mild winter, so we were hoping that it would stay clear until then. It was great weather for both days. VERY cold, but no snow. That was a first for all five winters I've spent in Utah. Well, Chris and Cassie chose the Draper temple to get sealed and it was a wonderful ceremony/wedding. Chris's mission president did the sealing and they were surrounded by friends and family. It was great to be a part of. Plus, we had never been to the Draper Temple and it was BEAUTIFUL. It was great to see our old bishopric and their wives. We also got to see all our married friends together to support our friends as they were sealed to each other for forever. :) These are the few pictures I have from the blessed event. You can hop on over to their blog for the good pictures. :) 
Coming out of the Temple... MARRIED!



Friends since Birth (literally) 
SO excited for these two! (@ the Kanab Reception)

the Beautiful Bride!






































We love these two and are so excited to have more married friends to spend time with. I can't wait for them to move back to Provo/Orem so we can see them more often. 
Salt Lake is a little too far for my taste. 
p.s. getting pictures to go where you want them to in blogger is HARD. Getting it to look like this was an absolute miracle. :)  Up Next: New Years/Ben's Birthday

Draper temple is one of my favorites in Utah. I think it is tied for first with Oquirrh Mountain. I agree, putting pictures in blogger is hard. I wish they would make it easier. But you did a great job! Perhaps you'll have to give me a tutorial. Let's hang out soon, k? K!
