Back Up

So it has been about 5 months (5 months!) since we were married...meaning I am 5 months behind on this blog! I guess I really don't have to backtrack but we have had some highlights within the past 5 months so I am going to do a quick recap.

Our Ohana

I did it! I thought of a name that I can be proud of even years down the road. The Oldroyd Ohana! Ohana means family (all of you who have seen Lilo and Stitch should know that), but it's only Matt and me right now so do we count as a family? Either way I'm sticking with this name--it's all about alliteration.

Once upon a time...

...on May 17th...

Matt and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful and exciting day!



My lovely bridesmaids Brittney, Jennifer, Azha (my sister) and McKenzie.

Matt and his groomsmen Cameron, Kyle, Jake, and Kevin.

Thanks to everyone who made this day perfect!

Here we are...

We finally decided to be bloggers! I've actually had this blog for about 5 months but never posted anything. I wanted to name our blog something cute and creative...the best I've come up with so far is the Weird-O's or the Cheeri-O's (O for Oldroyds). Matt's not a huge fan of it, but it's just a temporary name. These were Matt's ideas:

The Young-royds
The Oldroyds on Steroids
and
The New-royds
I was not a fan of any of those names so I had to override all of them. I didn't want to start a blog until we have kids, but my sister may be moving soon and this will help keep us updated on each other's lives. I am sure going to miss her! She had to show me the ropes of the blogging world so here goes my attempt :)
