Just Maui'd

We're back from Hawaii and happy to say that I can finally blog for my first time as

Mrs. Smith!

We enjoyed a week full of fun thanks to our wonderful parents in

MAUI!

We had a very strict schedule involving:

-Sleeping in

-Pool side lounging

-Playing in the ocean

-Afternoon naps

-Delish dinners at sunset

-Beautiful ocean views

-Lots and lots of sunshine

-A warm island breeze

-Getting new freckles and tan skin

-After dinner walks on the beach

-Mini photo sessions

-Hula shows

And best of all, spending time together as

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

We're Off!

Bags are packed.

The car is loaded.

We're off to San Diego for our wedding.

After our amazing day at the temple & our reception, we'll enjoy 2 nights in San Diego before jetting off to

Hawaii!

Be back soon.

xoxo,

Mr. & (Future) Mrs. Smith

Wedding Sneak Peek

Three weeks ago we had a wedding shoot with Nathan Petty.

Derek is happy to say that he staged this photo.

He believes it's a proper foreshadowing of our marriage.

Fifteen

15 days.

We can't even believe it. Words can't describe the excitement we both have right now.

We are excited to hear from all of you attending our CA reception through RSVP cards.

If you haven't responded, get to it!

We can't wait to see you and share our special day with you.

We're Engaged!

On Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Derek asked me 6 words:

"Becca Jones, will you marry me?"

And of course, I said

"YES!"

We actually had been "un-officially" engaged since last Sunday, but Saturday was the day it became official.

I love my ring.

I love my man.

I am so lucky to have Derek in my life!

I cannot wait to become Mrs. Smith!

See you all August 14, 2010 in the

San Diego California temple!

Thank you all for your love and support!

San Diego Trip

On our fun trip to San Diego, we were able to:

1. Enjoy a morning reading at the beach.

2. A fun lunch in San Clemente with Crystal.

3. An evening baseball game to see Dallin in the championships.

4. A day at Sea World

5. A sunburn.

6. Old Town Mexican Food.

7. The Mormon Battalion Tour

8. A morning breakfast party with extended family.

9. A drive up the coast in the convertible.

10. Enjoying the perfect and cool weather.

It was a great trip! We crammed as much as we could in, enjoyed the cool 70 degree weather, and had a blast! Now we're back to work/school, 100 + degree weather, and being busy!
