7.12.14 || Temple photos

I have had my pictures for almost 2 months now, but haven't ever shared them with my social media world - minus a few on my instagram.
This was the most perfect part of the entire day. This is what it was all about. This was the moment that I was finally going to be sealed to my hottie fiancé for time and all eternity. This was the event that would promote me from girlfriend to wife. I was going to walk out of those golden temple doors holding my HUSBAND'S hand! It is something you look forward to your whole life and there aren't sufficient words to exactly describe that feeling.

Hopefully you can see it through these photos.

I've decided that it has been long enough…I am going to share our photos! For your sake, (your = who the heck knows) I am going to do them on individual posts.

We decided to take photos together in our wedding day attire in order to ensure that we get some great photos without feeling stressed out on the actual wedding day! I am BEYOND thrilled that we did this. We got the whole "first look" of Keaton seeing my in my dress and I couldn't be happier. You already know this if you watched our video a couple posts ago.

Our photographer was Collette Charles Photography. I am so happy that we decided to work with her. She made us feel comfortable and caught all of the best moments on film. These photos are some of my absolute favorites!!!

I was so excited to finally wear my dress and feel like a real bride. The nervousness was definitely real as Keat was walking up with a blindfold on. I couldn't believe that he was going to be my husband in less than a month. I was just as excited to see him in that blue suit with a ring on his finger! Obvs, I was giggling like a little girl the entire time. Everything, all of a sudden, felt so real.

Enjoy!

*we couldn't look attractive while winking if our lives depended on it

 If you love these photos, you can contact Collette right here! If you love this scenery and backdrop, go check out This is the Place Heritage Park. I can show you all of the good spots ;)

Stay tuned for Wedding Day photos!!

New look has arrived!

The bloggyboo got a little makeover! I wanted it to be more updated and current. Obvs, I got married so this is now one of those married couple blogs. It is what it is and I do what I want!
We all know I am not very good at this anyway…
I did, however, want a spot to post all of the wedding photos instead of making a ridiculous album on FB.

Following the Flitton's is now ready to go, so get ready for some HUGE posts comin' your way!

"First Look"

This was a video that we chose to do of our "first look". I have absolutely NO regrets!! Not only do we have some really special photos of Keat and me, but we have some serious perfect video footage of it too. Our videographers are actually our cousins, Jake and Haley Sorensen. They have their own business, "Communiqué Films" click HERE to go to their vimeo page to watch their other creations. Also, check them out on instagram! You will not be disappointed!

omigosh I can't wait to see the wedding day vid. I get a giddy tummy just thinking about it!

Hi hello! My name is Chandler Flitton!!
Life is finally starting to slow down again!
After I returned home from Norway, I graduated from Utah State University 3 days later.
Then it was onto engagements, wedding planning, dress fittings, showers full of family, friends, and insanely adorable and sexy-time gifts. AYOH!


July 12, 2014 was the most perfect day of my life.
Besides the fact that I nearly passed out then vomitted in the temple parking lot, it was a dream.
I cannot wait to get all of our photos back so I can bask in the glory of our post-bethrothal.

I love my husband. I love being his wife.
And that's all there is to it.

Now that I am a wife, maybe I will keep up with this a bit more.
I'm thinking of changing some stuff around (yet, again).

We shall see.

Adios, darlings. I'm off to finish some well deserved thank you cards!

xoxo,

Norway: The First Days

I made it!! We have been in Rosendal for about 4 days now - even though it feels like it has been weeks already. Our travels were pretty harmless. Besides being forever long, we all made it to the motherland. We flew from SLC to Detroit, Detroit to Amsterdam with a two hour layover, then Amsterdam to Bergen, Norway. We had to wait 4 hours at the teeny tiny airport, so I exchanged all of my US dollars to Kroner. Everything is much more expensive here, so that will take some adjustment. Once it was time to catch the bus, we packed our crap up and lugged our luagged to the bus. We took a 10 minute bus ride to the "fastboat" or "ferry" dock. We took a two hour trip on the fast boat to the city of Rosendal. It was cold, windy, and rainy. It definitely felt like I was in Portland or Seattle. Everything is green and luscious. I absolutely love it.
We were all super exhausted after a 30 hour journey, but when we made our way to our cabins we were told we were to go to our supervisor's home for dinner. It was delicious and so kind of them. By the time we had full tummies and the sun had set, we all could barely keep our eyes open.
Finally, we slept!!
We woke up and got ready for a tour of Rosendal the next morning. We went on long walks through the hills up to the Baroneit ("barony"). That is the castle built in the 1500's where the Baron and Baroness of Norway used to live. I wouldn't mind making that my summer home one day...
There are magnificent gardens and trees surrounding it! It was a magical place.
We then made our way to Steinparken ("stone park"). It is a perfectly green park in the middle of the forest with polished stones all around. A creek runs right through the middle of it. It would be the perfect place for a springtime picnic.
We then headed back towards the cabins to do a little grocery shopping. That was definitely a new experience.
I am loving being here and this beautiful town of Rosendal.
I get to take a ferry across the fjord to my school everyday. It makes for a long travel day, but it is so funny to think that this is just their "freeway" system. They drive from their homes to the ferry, park their car right on the boat, then end up in a completely different town. I love it.
My students are darling and BEAUTIFUL. They are so well behaved and polite. and VERY active. It is so different than American schools and I cannot wait to bring home a lot of these methods and utilize them in my future classroom!
Here is a video of the first couple days of travel and exploration. I made it with my iPhone, so it is not by any means a high definition or amazing quality video!

I dont know if that is going to work or not... SO if it doesn't, click HERE!!!

Here are some photos that I have taken myself or taken from some of the other student teachers I am here with!

I will hopefully post some more updates on my students and the funny moments that are going to happen!
