Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my best friend! 
This year has flown by. I can't believe that Derek and I got married a year ago. September 10th, 2011 Derek and I were sealed for time and all eternity. The day was perfect besides a few hiccups like dodging a rain storm and Derek forgetting his temple recommend but we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding day!



Here is to many many more anniversaries.
 I love you Derek. You are the most amazing man I have ever met. You inspire me each and every day to be a better person. I am lucky to be able to call myself your wife.
Until next time.....Mrs. Lloyd

P.S. Our amazing pictures were done by Mikki Platt Photography. She is the absolute best!

Family Califronia Trip

 Last week we went to Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Torrance Beach and etc.. with my whole extended family. We had so much fun. I really didn't want to come home. Although I think Derek was ready to get back to cooler weather back home. See, Derek's dream trip is somewhere in the mountains and I am a total beach girl. But he really loved California. It was his very first time in the Pacific Ocean! Here are some of my very favorite moments....

 On Monday we spent the day swimming in the the ocean. It was a blast and we had some awesome sunburns to show off for the rest of the week;)

 My Sister got engaged!!!! Derek and I along with the rest of my cousins helped Jason propose to Kara. It was a beautiful proposal!!!! We couldn't be happier to have him in our family! I'm so excited to start helping her plan the wedding! Yay!
 Derek and I were hiding on the lifeguard tower so we could capture the whole thing!
Congrats to the beautiful happy family!

 On Wednesday we went to Knott's Berry Farm. Yes, we wore tie-dye as a group. Yes, you should be jealous. It was quite embarrassing... I mean awesome!

 Awesome picture I got right before the big splash!
 Kade had the most horrible sunburn. He pretty much looked like a drug addict running around the park trying to soothe his itchy skin!
 The sweet and adorable Edyn
 On Thursday we took some Family pictures.. Here are a couple of them...
 Derek attempted surfing on Friday. He actually did really good!

 Our awesome bike ride along Torrance and some other beaches (wish I could remember their names?)
 Derek got to the point where he asked me to stop peddling ha ha. I wasn't going to complain.
 It was such a cool area. There were parties going on all over the beaches. Music playing and volleyball games happening everywhere you looked! 
 Then we ran into the the TV show 90210. It was really cool. It made me miss the production element of TV. I love that kind of stuff. We hung around for a little while watching. It took over 100 people, 5 semis filled with equipment and a huge light fixture attached to a semi just to film this one scene. Crazy!
 This is me being a total creep. It's the character Adrianna from the show.

On Saturday we woke up early and got our shop on at the Swamp Meet. It was glorious. I was too busy checking out the different vendors to take any pictures.
 We can't wait for next year's family trip!!! 

Until next time... The Lloyd's
