Can you believe it?! Our blog is up and running! I can’t promise how long it will be because I still can’t figure out how it all works, but here is a brief post to update you on what’s going on in our lives….
I am married….. I still can’t believe it! It’s so strange to refer to myself as Heather Stringham…but it’s getting easier!

On June 9th we had our wedding dinner at The Gathering Place at Gardner Village. It was very nice and the food was delicious!
As Mike has mentioned our wedding day was perfect, it was a lot of fun and I could not have asked for a better day! Planning a wedding can be stressful and very time consuming, but after seeing it all put together it made it all worth while! My mom was a great support and helped me out with all of the ideas! She is the best and is so creative!
The next day we were off to Maui for 8 days!! I had never been to Hawaii before, so I was so excited! It is so beautiful and relaxing! We had such a great time snorkeling, laying out at the beach, going on the dinner sunset cruise, shopping on front street (like every day) the luau at the Royal Lahaina, driving the road to Hana and waking up at 3:30 am to see the sunrise at the volcano…hahaha it was nuts!

It was so nice to get away and relax, I can’t wait until we get to go back!Be married is the best! I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing guy! He is perfect for me and I am so excited to share my future with him!

We're Married... its finally here!


I know, I know, its been six months since the last addition to our blog and there have been a lot of people getting on our case wondering when we were going to finally update it so after a lot of planning, a lot of stress, and a lot of waiting we finally tied the knot on June 10, 2008. It was a wonderful day for the both of us and Heather looked absolutely stunning.. as anyone might imagine.. The temple was sunny and warm but a bit windy... the reception was amazing. We had it in the backyard at the Horman's in Pepperwood. The best part was that there was no rain, although we were pretty scared for a while there we only had to deal with the temperature that was a little colder than we would have liked. Everything else went off without a hitch... Heather's parents (mainly Jacci) had every little detail planned out perfectly from the live band,the chinese looking ball things that hung in the trees,the matching centerpieces and everything else was perfectly arranged-- right down to the placement of photos and the cake. It was awesome!. Heather's grandpa owns a bakery and made all the big cookies for us. And to make things more "fun" we had Coldstone come and serve ice cream.It was a little chilly for ice cream but our guests didn't seem to care it was just too good to pass up. It was really a perfect night...well except for this part. I know its tradition to decorate the grooms car on the night of the reception.. and sure its a great time doing it.. but as the groom, when its time to clean up the mess, its not all fun and games. Those guilty I know who you are and the majority of you aren't married yet... be prepared... revenge is sweet...
