The Holidays post 1 (:

So instead of giving you a HUGE overload I'm going to separate my blog posts.
First off, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I feel like I'm always getting behind. I'm really not, (well, I kinda am) but a lot of things happen in a short period of til, to start off we had our annual Anderson Family Christmas Party on....the 18th?
If you've ever heard of the Piano Guys, you can attest to this. They are the best.
Well, it just so happens that my uncle is the producer/manager/person of it all.
So for this Christmas we got the lucky treat to hear from Jon Schmidt and Steven Sharp Nelson.
(Side note: If you haven't seen them check them out: The Piano Guys)

(I have about 100 pics/videos so if you want more just let me know.)

Mooooving on.
Hmmmm. What next? I swear our lives have been so stinkin busy. I've worked almost every day. Ty has worked....pretty much every day. We hardly ever see each other. But I think it's kind of a good thing. I mean, I hate not being with him but when I am I cherish it more. More memories, you know? But let me tell you one thing. I love that boy with more than my whole heart. He is my everything. I mean, he's perfect.

Speaking of perfect:
Our wedding. I said I would post pics. But I really  just posted them on fb and don't have the motivation to do it on here.  Our wedding was pretty much perfect. My mom/family did a fantastic job so a big thank you again! I have the best family.
 Little bit of a recap/facts:
-We woke up SUPER early.
- Ty slept at our apartment the night before, so when I went to pick him up I couldn't go inside.
-We talked with a temple patron about some things.
-Ashleigh Anderson became Ashleigh Prax-for eternity. (:
-We got hit by some old farts in the temple parking lot. (Yes, an accident. (:)
-Because we were so happy to be married, we did absolutely nothing about that ^. (:
-We went to our amazing luncheon and spent time with family.
-Tyler...FINALLY got to wear his wedding ring. (:
-We took pictures at the temple for, I swear, 800 hours.
-Our reception....was amazing.
-I can't really tell you much about that except that my mom did a FANTASTIC, I mean a FANTASTIC job! Words cannot explain how grateful we are for her/everyone else that helped.
-The week of our wedding our ward/building had 2 funerals. One of the families was really great and did the luncheon elsewhere. The other one insisted on our building so our luncheon got moved to the Prax's church. (Which was kinda more convenient for them with all the food and such.)
-Our cake was BEAUTIFUL (thanks to Brandon and Tiffanie)
-We had a...what? $100,000 grand piano there? Yeah. Pretty epic. (Thanks to Paul.)
-We got free videography. (Thanks to Paul/ The Piano Guys)
-We rode in a limo. -Yeah. We did that. We're epic. It was only a 10 minute ride, but it was amazing. (Thanks to Dave & Susie)
-Our line for our reception was forever long. (Probably because we have the best families/friends/supporters who came. (:)
-I felt like the most loved person on the planet. So many people made SO many sacrifices for us so we could be married. I mean, its a big deal but people put 50+ hours into our wedding. (Does not include my mom. More like 200+)
-My aunt Tiffanie is a genious with wedding cakes/ sewing machines. If you look at the pics on fb, all the little girls are wearing matching skirts and aprons. -Yup. She made those.
-We got married on 9-10-11. Cooler than 11-11-11.
-We spent our Honeymoon in Zions National Park. Because of bad weather, we did...zip hiking. But we had a blast window shopping. (:
-There are COUNTLESS other things. There are COUNTLESS amounts of people that helped. (Lisa, Tara, Tiffanie, their husbands, Barry Bretton, Devin, Gavin, Shalee, Brittany, Breanna, of course my mom and dad, Ty's parents, Ty's family-Jamie, Lyndsey, Kyle, Tanner, Grandparents, pretty much all of our families.)
-We are SO grateful for EVERYONE and their help.

We love you all SO much!

I shall post more pics/another big long post in the next couple of days.
