About Us

Bryce and I met in Ketchikan, Alaska in May of 2012. We started talking in May of 2013 and started to date in early June of 2013. I went to BYU in Provo, Utah and he was at Utah State in Logan, Utah. We spent a semester commuting to see each other on the weekends and holidays. On Halloween Bryce proposed with a box of See's chocolates while we were watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. I said yes and we planned our wedding in 2 months, tying the knot on New Years Eve of 2013. Now we live in Logan, Utah where we go to school. We plan on going back to Alaska for the summers to work and make money for school. And most importantly, we are head over heels in love for each other! This is our love story, and the beginning of our very own Happily Ever After.

Exploring the Docks and Name Changes

For those of you who don't know my nieces, they love going for walks on the docks behind my parent's condo. My parents actually live right in front of a boat marina-AKA the view is pretty sweet. So every once in a while after Sunday dinner when it's beautiful out-we'll go on a little adventure. 
And let me tell you, those girls love to look in the water and see all the little creatures. Last year Bryce was quite the hit, catching a jelly fish for them to poke. But this year him and Russell, my brother, as well as Kevin, the practically adopted 4th brother, took turns pulling out jellyfish for the girls to hold and poke and throw back into the ocean. The girls absolutely LOVED IT. Along the way though Bryce, Russell, Erika, and I got a little distracted by this red jelly fish. Turns out he actually got caught on the docks, but they helped him get free and then I tried to take some super amateur photos with my phone. 
Bryce also learned that if you touch the top of a red jelly fish, it won't sting you. When he first went to poke it he went so fast that I thought he had gotten stung. But no, turns out he was just being cautious in case it did ;) However, it kept throwing up its little "legs" ;) which he was careful to avoid. All in all it was pretty fun. 
Enjoy a few pictures from our lovely Sunday afternoon at Nana and Papa's house :)

Look at them legs!

Addie wanted Bryce to give her a piggy back ride back to the condo-she loves him :)

Also a little update on the name change process:
I was told by the DMV that in order to get my license changed to say McRae that I needed to have applied for my new SS card. I accidentally left everything I needed for it in Utah so with help from my Visiting Teacher and from my Mother In Law I was able to get everything I needed. The day that I got it all I sent it back out to get from SS card changed. Today I had the day off so I went to the DMV and was told that it does no good to apply for the SS card with my new name. I just have to have my marriage certificate which I mailed YESTERDAY because they told me to. So now I have to wait to get it all back in the mail so I can change my license before we leave for school and before my license expires. Talk about stressful. Hopefully that will all get taken care of soon. And thankfully I have an awesome husband to help calm me down when I do get my little stress outs. I married a WONDERFUL man. I love you Bryce!

More next time!

Love,

The McRae's
