Thompsons Wedding Day: Salt Lake Temple


We were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on February 1st 2008. It was an amazing experience and we are so blessed to have so much support! Thank you so much to all of you who were there with us throughout this day! We love you so much!

Wedding Dinner at the Joesph Smith Memorial Building


I just realized I still haven't posted any pictures from our wedding day or the wedding dinner. We had our wedding dinner the night before we got married at the Joesph Smith Memorial Building. It was so fun to be able to get together with all of our family, friends, and loved ones and just enjoy ourselves! Our parents each spoke along with some of our family and friends. Here our some pictures from the nights events!

El Salvador... Washington D.C... Graduating... Leaving the kids...


Wow, I can't believe its been over a month since our last post. We have had so much going on that the past month just flew by! The past week we went to El Salvador which is where Travis served his mission. We went with his mission companion who is one of his best friends, Dallas, and his wife Lizzie and had such a blast with them! It was definately different from the states but it made us so grateful for how blessed we are. We had such an amazing experience seeing people that Travis taught, baptized, and loved during those two years. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the pediatrics ward of the local hospital and giving out dolls and toys to some of the kids. It was incredible. We also got to spend some time on the beach and relax. I will post a slideshow of pics... we took so many! We got home yesterday morning and Travis left at 7 AM this morning for Washington D.C. He is out there for the summer selling alarms for Apex. I'll be meeting him out there in about a month, and even though he just left this morning I already miss him like crazy! We will be out there through the month of August, we are excited that our friends Jamie and Mark will be out there with us too! As exciting as living somewhere else is, its also really really sad for me because it means I have to quit my job. I have been a nanny for Ethan and Ava for the past four years and I love them to pieces! They are such a huge part of my life and I am going to miss them so much!!! I just graduated from UVSC and so once we get back to Utah I will be looking for a "real job"... I love those two so much that being with them seems like anything but a job!! It seems like this month is so full of changes, but thats just a part of life I guess. As hard as some of these changes may be, Travis and I are excited to see what the future holds!!!
