Cousin Cody and Trisha's Wedding

Kory's cousin, Cody Fullmer, was married to his sweetheart this past weekend and it was a beautiful wedding in the Logan Temple. I love attending sealings in the Temple because it reassures me of the promises God made with me and Kory when we were married 3 1/2 years ago. The Temple promises are real and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is so true; if you don't know that yet as we do, get on this bandwagon because it is the best ride ever!

This wedding weekend made me very grateful and feel very blessed to have married into a wonderful family! I honestly believe that I have the best In-Laws in the world. Kory was unable to come with me to Logan due to a business trip to Florida he couldn't get out of. (Uh-huh, I know, right? ;) ) Anywho, I went without him because I feel that comfortable with his family; I love them just as much as my own family. And that's the honest truth. The wedding went beautifully and I was so glad that Sydney got to play with her cousins from California who she rarely sees. She especially loved Madison (who is 9), but Mads was so sweet with her anyway. Breckon warmed up to her too throughout the week and Brynne...well, let's say they will be best friends one day. ;)

The "Dopp" Sisters

(It makes me so happy that they have accepted me into their clan. hehe) ;)

Love these amazing women.

(From Left to Right)

Shelby: Ready to serve the Lord through missionary work.

Mom: Amazing and faithful women for everything she has to go through.

Hallie: Such a hard worker and selfless love for her husband.

Jenn: Super mother and sister. I look up to all of them!

This girl is soon to go on a mission. Can't wait for her to add to the Sister missionaries in the family!

The Dessert Table at the Luncheon. Grandma Teresa did such at fabulous job with the centerpiece: Cake pops! Binnie even liked 'um. (JJ trying to steal a kiss on camera, but it doesn't look like Jenn wanted to at the moment. Lol)

At the end of the day, I love how much Sydney truly loves her sister. All these pictures were from the 4 days we were in Logan. :)

Poor Ainsley just has to suffer through her literal tough love until she is big enough to return the favor.

An old man once said - There comes a time in life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. ... All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable. ... It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire." -Orson F. Whitney

"It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that He speaketh, not spake... The need was never greater of new revelation than now." -Ralph Waldo Emerson (15 July 1838)

"He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary." — Brigham Young

"How strange it is, our little procession of life! The child says, 'When I am a big boy,' But what is that? The big boy says, 'When I grow up.' And then, grown up, he says, 'When I get married." But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to 'When I'm able to retire.' And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone. Life, we learn too late is in the living, in the tissue of every day and hour." -Stephan Leacock

Our Story...

Kory and Shay found each other at Brigham Young University at a Ward Choir practice, and they have been inseparable ever since. All except for the year and a half that she decided to follow Kory's lead and serve the Lord as a full time missionary, where she did so in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 2007-2008. Kory valiantly served in the New York, New York South Mission during 2003-2005. Now that they have been majestically reunited, they finished their college degrees while initially living in Provo, Utah. Now, they reside in Alpine, Utah. Two turned to three when their gorgeous daughter, Sydney, entered their lives September 2010. They currently live a challenging, yet happy life, and await for the next turn life's path brings them.
