An Arizona Wedding

Two weeks ago Robert and I went down to Phoenix/Mesa/Glibert for one of his best friends weddings. It was a perfect little weekend getaway. It had been a long time since I have traveled, and although it wasn't anything crazy, it was a perfect weekend and wedding.

I had been to Phoenix a few times for soccer tournaments-which meant that over a two day period I played 4-5 soccer games, slept, ate, and hung out at the soccer fields. So I hadn't really even been to Phoenix. To my surprise, Mesa was actually really green and beautiful. I would say it's comparable to Vegas, but much prettier.

They can even grow citrus trees because it rains more! There were a plethora of them around the temple grounds. Speaking of, the temple in Mesa is probably one of the most unique and coolest temples I have ever been to.

Nathan was a mission companion of Robert's and after spending more time with him, I completely understand why Robert's favorite time of his mission was when he was companions with Nathan. They are like two peas from the same pod. Robert was also the most handsome groomsman out there. :)

 The reception was in Allies backyard and they did a wonderful job. It was beautiful  They had fajitas for dinner and a popcorn bar which are probably two of my most favorite foods in the world. I am pretty sure Allie and I can be friends now. We were able to spend a lot of the day and most of the reception with Robert and Nathan's mission president and his wife. It was such a good experience being able to talk and get to know them better. Robert has most surely been blessed with such great people in his life.

After all of the festivities on Friday Robert and I enjoyed a Saturday on the town! We went to Sprinkles (too much frosting for my taste, but still absolutely delicious!) went to Tempe Town Lake, did a temple session and looked at some of the coolest homes I have ever seen.

Yes, my toe is black. Turns out, whenever I run over 13 miles, my toes turn black.

Three cheers for awesome weddings!
