So, I am very sorry for literally being the laziest/boring blogger. I have heard it all and I apologize yet again.
Natalie Monson- Ya know how you tagged me like forever ago with that 10 pictures blog? Well I decided to do a "remix"..... I am going to do a chronilogical version.
Pre-Acquaintance
Before we met, we had very active lives. We were dating, hiking, wakeboarding, climbing, working, you get the idea.....
In this particular picture, my friend Kristy Jordan and I went on a run to Stewart Falls. If you know where that is or if you have ever been there, it has an extremely steep hill to get up to the falls. It was not hard to get up the hill, it was coming down the hill where I ran into problems. Kristy was in front of me and I didnt want to run into the back of her so I squatted so I could slow down, and as I did, I shot down and slid the entire way until I literally was stopped by a rock and some weeds. Since we ran all the way there, we decided it would be wise to just walk, mostly because that was all I could really do besides waddle.
Check this picture out! Mark is so good at taking pictures~! (for a guy) Ha ha no he is amazing!

Mark loves this picture of himself.... he says "It's cool, okay?!" Yes Mark, it IS very cool!

Bouldering freestyle with my good friend Jamie Sagers. We went down in Provo Canyon and let me tell you! We took a lot of pictures and had a blast! Jamie is seriously the funniest girl you will ever know. She is really shy around people, but since we grew up together, she is the biggest knee slapper there is! P.s. she is 6'5".

Mark and Russell went shark diving..... (look at Mark's eyes!) If you haven't seen the video of those two going down there, come and see it~! It looks crazy down there with those huge sharks everywhere!
Me and Franz here were just enjoying the sights at Park City....FUNNY STORY! I dont think Mark knows about this story. Our photo class went to Park City to take pictures for our portfolios. While we were up there, Jamie and I were taking random pictures and out of no-where this guy that walks past me, then turns around and asks me where I was from. So I told him, then I made up some story of why I was in Park City; I told him I was a traveling photographer. He told me he was in town to start a wine business. I tried to change to topic and leave but he insisted that he helped me out with the pictures. I told him it was no necessary. He understood and gave me his card and kissed my hand. He said if I was ever in town, that I should call him and we could have a romantic evening together. Might I add he was balding and was probably in his forties..... If only he knew I was only 17........
Washing up at Lake Powell with some of my buddies.....
This is a picture of my friend Mica and me at Graduation.
Good Old Miss Orem Pageant- It was such a growing experience. I learned how to public speak, I tutored kids, I learned how to walk, I learned how to cake make-up on my face and clog my pores.... It was a blast!

Pre-Dating
When we pre-dated, we hung out a lot at our parents' homes, with other friends and all that junk.
Dating
We didnt lose sight of each other. Even though I was in the hospital, lounging all of the time, or even sleeping, we were unable to be apart.
Just so you know, Mark is amazing. After I came home from the hospital, Mark would come over during his lunches and after work and stay with me until 10 or 11 at night. Even though I was really high on Percocet, he was always there. He was soooooo cute. He brought me 3 white roses and some balloons, so I put them next to my recliner where I had to sleep for a month.
Sometimes he got tired too so I was his pillow.
Engaged
Engaged??? We were practically married folks! I mean who is really engaged these days? Huh? NO ONE. Hence, we were literally always together.... other than work of course.....
I cant find our pictures of our Engagement night, but here is the sum of that day. We went to The Roof, then we went on a horse drawn carriage through Memory Grove. It was so romantic.....
This was at my fist bridal shower. My friends Jenn and Mica came. Oh the girl in the middle was the girl I was going to set Alan up with, but I just kinda forgot.
We went to Temple Square with my Parents and my dog.

Married
Married. What else do you want to know?
Missing my long hair...
Still Married
Still married and LOVING IT!

Why were you in the hospital?
So cute!! It is fun to see all the details. That's what girls always want. ;) Why were you in the hospital if you don't mind me asking? So, what it Alan up to? He was my best cousin at those old reunions. Let me know! www.jberickson.blogspot.com
We met at a church dance. Who knew those could actually work??? I never thought it would. Must have been a miracle.
Annie was in the hospital to reattach her arm. Ok, so that's not completely true, but she tore just about everything in her rotator cuff between a snowboarding and water skiing accident.
Alan was the best??? What about me? I was pretty dang cool back then too! haha! He's working and going to school I think. I'm not sure if he actually goes to school that much though. You know Alan...
Love the pictures! Fabulous post- keep em coming!
