Our Wedding

Out of the many wonderful things that can happen in life, meeting and marrying your best friend has to be one of the best.&nbsp;&nbsp;We met each other in middle school and crossed paths when Sarai was a makeup artist for a middle school theater production. Naturally, Sawyer did not need too much blush when Sarai was doing his stage makeup. One thing led to another, and we were off to high school as a couple. Both of us loved participating in our individual high school activities but thoroughly enjoyed singing in the school choir together. It seems we had almost every class together, making wonderful memories and helping each other learn every day. Outside of school we found ourselves constantly on adventures or going on hikes with family and friends. A particular highlight of our high school experience was our trip to France and Spain- this trip made us realize how much traveling together and making memories means to us.&nbsp;Getting to know each other's family was another pivotal part of the start of our friendship. We both have made amazing memories with both families and cherish the relationship we have fostered with both families. We particularly love our niece and nephew who constantly make us excited to go home.&nbsp;We eventually found ourselves graduated and off to Colorado Mesa University where both started as education majors but eventually found other paths- Sarai focused on ceramics and Sawyer on history. The journey at CMU presented struggles and blessings alike, no doubt two small town kids were up for a challenge. Perhaps the best part of college was the fact that we made so many memories and friendships together. After graduating college, we have decided to move out of junction so that Sawyer can pursue graduate studies in history and so that Sarai can further her career as a ceramic artist.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will be getting married approximately 10 years after we first started dating and enjoy looking back on the past ten years that have been characterized by laughter, smiles, and adventure. We enjoy spending time together, whether it is a grand adventure or simply visiting and watching movies. Above all else we simply love experiencing and exploring life together and we cannot wait to celebrate with you all.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sarai and Sawyer&nbsp;
