Honeymoon pictures!

I know it's been a while but I finally remembered while I was at home that I needed to post these so here are some of them.


This is what our friends did to our car at the reception. We went straight to a car wash.


This is a shot of the blue sky when we were waiting for our shuttle at the airport. It was like this the entire time we were in California.

This is our hotel room in the Paradise Pier Disney Hotel. It was pretty sweet.


This was the view from our hotel room. We were looking over California Adventure from the 7th floor.

Autopia

Tyler and his Lego castle. Look at that happy face! :)

Finding Nemo Submarine

We were sad cuz the Matterhorn broke down...

But then it got fixed. :)


Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. We didn't want to wait in line for a picture with them so I just took one from the side. Sneaky, right? ;)

Just because I had to. Pirates is the BEST!

Blue Bayou restaurant INSIDE the Pirates ride. That's right! It was SO cool!!!

Anyway, I took more pictures than this but I didn't want this to be the longest post of all time so I only picked a few. We had a way good time and it was the best vacation ever! Good times were had by all. :)

Name Change

I haven't changed my name yet but my blog has! Since I am no longer single it's not just MY life anymore it's now OUR life and will be for the rest of eternity. :) So I thought it fitting to change the title of my blog to "This is Our Life" still to the same theme as before, it just includes Tyler now. Niether of us can believe that it's been almost two weeks since we got married. It doesn't feel that much different than before...we're just together all the time now. It's great! I'm thoroughly enjoying the whole thing. =D I fully intend to change my name to Katie Shumway, I'm just waiting on our marriage license to come back...along with a day off so I can go to Ogden to do it so I don't have to wait for them to come to Logan.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know Tyler and I spent our Honeymoon in Disneyland. It was so much fun! I don't have any pictures right now but I posted them all to Facebook so you can look at them there until I get some posted here. We had a blast and the weather in California was darn near perfect! A nice change from the cold, gloomy rain we've been having in Logan for a while. Funny story. One of the days we spent in Disneyland we had a bad luck streak of rides breaking down on us. In one day we had 5 break down. That's right 5. They were and these are in no particular order, Indiana Jones (this one broke down right as we were about to get on so they gave us fast passes that would be valid anytime during that day), Haunted Mansion (this one had issues every time we went on it but once), Space Mountain (this one is one of my favorites we went on it probably 10 times), Matterhorn (another favorite), and Alice in Wonderland. It was crazy! And they all happened around the same time too! We didn't feel too bad about it though cuz we had 4 days in the park and we only stayed till closing once. It was a good time! Oh! Another fun thing that we did was we ate at the Blue Bayou restaurant. It's the one that's INSIDE Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah...awesome, right! It was super tasty too. :) I recommend it if you get the chance. It's a little pricey but worth it. How often do you get to eat inside a ride in Disneyland? It was definitely a highlight.

We also went to Medieval Times one night. That was fun! Tyler had never been before. We were the Green Knight and the bad guy...so we didn't win...our rival the Red Knight won. Darn. It was still fun though. I got a video of some jousting on my camera. Awesome!

A highlight for Tyler was definitely the Lego Store in Downtown Disney. We spent a lot of time in there just looking at stuff. Tyler found a big Lego castle that he really wanted but he didn't want to spend that much on it and he was a little worried about getting it home. I did some persuading and finally talked him into getting it and a few Star Wars Lego keychains. He doesn't regret it at all and we have a nice castle on display in our apartment. As for the keychains...I got C3PO and he got R2D2 and then we threw in Darth Vader cuz the were buy 2 get 1 free. Sweet deal!

Anyway, I think that's all the fun stuff of recent events. I'll post pictures later don't you fret. ;)
