I love to see the temple

It was so beautiful!
Both mine and Casey's parents came up to be
with me which was wonderful!
And I had all my brothers there with me,
which was so special!

Right before we went in it was snowing bunches and it was
SO beautiful!
And then we came out afterwards, it was
beautiful and clear and pristine!






I loved the feelings I felt throughout my time in the temple and I can't wait to go back again.The Draper Temple is beautiful inside and has a whole different meaning to me. I'm so grateful for the the time I was able to go inside to make more covenants.
I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to go again!

a night of mourning

tomorrow (Wednesday 11/11 [ironic date for the amount of stress for it eh?])will be death for me:

7 am- get my toosh out of bed and get ready for the day

4 pm- biology class
5 pm- go to the testing center and take my mean american heritage test that I will stay up all night studying for tonight- literally, all night
6 pm- testing center continued
7 pm- still testing center- my bum will probably be numb by then and I will be hating America and Dr. Pulsipher (ok, maybe not the America part)
8 pm- meet for a RE-DRAFTING of a group project that's absolutely stressful
9 pm- re-drafting continued
10 pm- STILL re-drafting our dang paper to perfection (although it will still get a B no matter how we write it or what we write about)
11 pm- go home and study for New Testament test with Casey (at 11:11 pm will be the second ultimate wish of the day [my most favorite person will be with me on this one!])
11:59 pm- a quick kiss good night

Thursday will also be slightly deathful:

7 am- dance practice
8 am- come back home and get ready for the day
9 am- health center class- because I don't know how to be married
10 am- health center class cont
11 am- health center class cont
12 pm- go take New Testament test
1 pm- FAMILY GETS IN TOWN! (tentatively)
it gets mushy right here, but all I know is that I'll be pretty dang busy with fam and temple stuff shopping- this part will actually be a good part
5 pm- meet with Eng group to start a NEW super fun Englsih project that I'll most likely come to not love so much :)

But I'm excited for the days after Thursday, I'll have my ballroom competition all weekend long and I get to go through the temple for the 1st time! It will be a wonderful weekend of family, the temple (which I'm so happy for), and dancing!





PS- 11 more days :)

a night on the courts

The other night we went on a new adventure.
Tennis!
Since the courts are literally across the street where I live,
we finally decided to take advantage of it! We had an absolute blast!

PS- I absolutely won, no doubt :)
She Only Wishes!!! :)

Casey's Mayan dentist carving/replica

Scott's beating instrument

The intense spinning tops war!

Grasshopper shavings!
Yeah, we really ate it!
They tricked us and said "try it and guess what spice this is"
lies lies lies...that was no a spice!
it was an insect!

My wonderful bridal shower put on by my maid of Honor Courtney!
(she's the beautiful one to the right of me)
thanks so much again Courtney!

And these are some lovely ladies who came to it!

Yes, this would be my mother and I dressed up as toilet paper brides.
Haha, lovely I know!

More wonderful people who came!
Amber and Sis Walker!

And after all the presents had been opened, I remembered Casey was my favorite and best present above them all :) Thanks baby

This is our beautiful little Mexican baby!

First Sunday dinner all back together!


I wish there were more of Kirk!
He's the main show, and he barely got in any of them!
I'll get more pics from my mootie later :0
Hoped you all enjoyed seeing our AZ trip as much as we enjoyed being there!

2 years later...

It finally happened!
Brother is home from his mission!
It was seriously so much fun getting him home
best weekend of the semester, yet!

This is a pic of all of us in the elevator at the airport going to wait for Kirk,
Seriously, so funny.
Love jokes of H1N1 :)

This is another super fun pic of most of us coming from the far land of Utah to greet our wonderful Kirky to come home from vacation with mom and dad

And our cutest friend of the weekend:
Annalee
Isn't she darling?
Well she's even better in person!
We had so much fun with her and it was so fun for Kirk to meet her.
