Moore of the story!

We're the Moore family! The Benjamin and Carliann Moore family. We've been a family for just under two weeks now and have to say it's going pretty well. With pressure from my side of the family to have a blog, this is what we've got for ya! Carli and I have quite a story to tell, and this Blog will pick up with the last few months and hopefully move on from there for more than a couple posts. We know that when people look at blogs they mostly want to see pictures, so we'll save most of the details and give you a look at some of the adventures that we've had! 

This last semester we were both studying at BYU.
Carli is well into her Early Childhood Education major and is looking to graduate in 2018. I have been narrowing in on what I want to do. I most enjoyed my German class this semester and have decided to double major with German Studies as my secondary major. The current idea is dental

So here's a look at the last few months!
I flew out to Vegas the week before school started. We had fun with Carli's family and made it out to the Hoover Dam! 

 We visited the temple in Payson, Provo, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City for weddings, sessions or General Conference. 

We went to all of BYU's home football games. 

Even Dad and Tyler came out from the midwest to join us! 

My roommate Clint and I organized a "Bubble Bash" Where we played soccer in giant bubbles. It was less about the soccer and more about knocking others over. We had about 50 people out to the event, including little Christy! 










On the 25th of September I surprised Carli with this and we started our two day engagement date! We went all over town revisiting our favorite places and ended up engaged the next day! 

On September 26th I asked Carliann to be my Wife! She said yes! 
 
We weren't home free from there. With classes, jobs, and wedding planning, we were pretty busy. Carli worked at Legend's Grille on campus and I worked for BYU Moving. Here she bringing me a pizza that she made just for me! 


As we got down to the wire it was time for Finals and a bachelor party. We went and played laser tag and played mini golf. 

One last Sunday in our singles wards. Then finals. Carli was pretty ready for finals to be over. As was I! 

Here we are!... so happy that the semester is over.

On the 17th of December, I woke up early and took my last final. Accounting 200. I got out of that by 11 am and then packed and moved out of my apartment, Carli's apartment, and and by the evening we were on the road for Vegas! Carli's older brother Stephen, and his fiancé got married the day before us in the Las Vegas Temple. Here we are at their reception. 



12.19.15 -- Wedding Day!

On the 19th I married the love of my life in the Las Vegas Temple! 

Married!! after lots and lots of pictures it was on to the luncheon and reception! 




We'll be doing a whole post full of wedding pictures once we get them all back from the photographer. So this will just be a few of them. 

Here's a bunch of the wedding party at the luncheon. Cole and Brad flew in from the midwest, and James, Keeton, Ryan and his fiancé are all mission companions and friends that made the drive. Clint and Kylee are college friends, and Clint was the best man. 

I didn't have any pictures on hand from the reception, but here we are afterwards on our way to the honeymoon!!

We stayed the night on the Las Vegas Strip with the Bellagio fountains outside our window.

Next it was on to Sedona Arizona where we geocached, hiked, and even made it up to Flagstaff to ski.

We came home and had a very merry Christmas and then headed off for a cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada Mexico. The tacos down in Ensenada were especially good. :)

 

We'll be heading back up to Provo tomorrow to get started with another semester!
