Our first night there we went out to dinner with the Jolley and Woodmansee parents. It was so wonderful! I cannot even begin to explain to you how thankful I was to have my parents there with me and how wonderful and kind the Woodmansees were to us and my parents. It was such a great weekend. Outside of the open house, we fit a lot of fun things into 1 weekend!
-Michael finally reported his mission to the high council (not many people do that when they're already married, it was funny :) It was also a very wonderful experience, and I cried.
-Michael took mom, dad, and I downtown Dallas to see where JKF was shot, the Holocaust Museum, and the cool Mustangs
-Mom and I got our nails done :)
-The Woodmansees had us over for dinner and wonderful company! We had a great time chatting and laughing all night
And then of course, the real reason we went to Texas in the first place... the open house!! Michael, Cheri, and Shellie did a fantastic job of organizing this wonderful occasion! They really are incredibly good to us and we love them. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Many people who were close to Michael growing up were there and I was so happy to meet them. We had a DELICIOUS cake that I could not get enough of! There was delicious food, great company, and I was thrilled to be able to wear my gorgeous dress again. I miss it already. It really was a wonderful weekend. It was great to spend some time with the Woodmansees before we went back to Utah and everyone knows that Mom and Dad add extra fun to everything. It was a huge blessing to me to have them there.
Cutting into our yummy Cake :)
Ruby Slippers :) I want to put my dress on right now.
So happy to be Married!
Matchmaker, Ms. Lauren Rasmussen. You get special blessings in heaven for introducing us!
Lauren is one of my greatest friends and I was so happy she could be there. She was a bridesmaid too, as you can tell by her dress.
Michael's good friend, and Lauren's brother, Tanner Rasmussen.
I find this picture so comical! Michael being all studly.
And I was pretty pooped from all the fun by the end of the night.I wish that I would have taken pictures so I could post some of Mom, Dad, Cheri, Richard, Shellie, Judd, Bill, Amber and all of the other great people there! But I'll get my hands on those pictures later. THANK YOU everyone for all the help and fun in Texas :)
P.S- I had my second interview today for an Exercise Specialist position that I really want. Cross your fingers for me!!

It's so so so sad to take that dress off after the last open house! I say put it on whenever you feel like it. I'm wanting to pull mine out of the closet now.
Sounds like a great party! Wish I could've been at that one too! Sigh. Now it's on to real life.
P.S. I think it's hilarious that he brought his wife with him to report on his mission! That is unique!
Wow, I am behind on your blog. Those are fun pictures and that was such a fun time, we wouldn't have missed it for the world. I really did like Carrollton and Dallas. It was so great to be able to see your apartment in Provo so I can imagine what you are doing and what a treat sleeping on the futon, we didn't even do that the whole time we had it.
The dress is home from the cleaners now and looks and smells good. You can wear it for Christmas:)
