Engagement Pictures!

Yay! We shot our engagement pictures on Monday. It was stormy all day and I was TERRIFIED that we would have a downpour that night. Well- the lighting ended up perfect and it was just beautiful!

Our photographer posted them on her blog-

sorry for all the smoochy ones- I promise there are lots of smiling ones too :)

OGDEN MARATHON.

There they are! Paul, Mindy, Camie and Cody at the end of the race!


I started shaking so bad when I saw him! I was so happy he had
finished the race and mostly I was glad he was alive.

Paul had some encouraging words for Mindy her last few blocks.

I got some nice salty hugs!




FINISHER! Champion of the world!


And the Superstar design that they all had on their shorts.

the summer begins...

Paul's niece had her bone marrow transplant Wednesday!

She's an amazing little girl- with a brave older sister, and amazing parents.

After another year completed at BYU... I am back at home.

It was a pretty excellent year- I met my future husband,

did well in classes, got into the PR program, tutored some great kids,

played some good lacrosse
and somehow survived the stress.

I start my summer job at Salt Lake Country Club on Monday- working with the Horticulturist. I'm pretty excited...

and the wedding plans are coming along...
since Paul's already seen it, I might as well post the picture of....
THE DRESS!!
by Eternity Bridal
(note: I tried it on... it is modest, for some reason the sleeves look too small and the neckline too low in this picture. But I promise, it fits like a charm!)


right now we're on the hunt for bridesmaid dresses (I think I'll put my sisters in brown- and the little girls will be in green)
3 months from tomorrow... yay!

CELESTIAL!

CELESTE is my amazing younger sister.
Wednesday was her 18th birthday!

Now all the kids in our family are officially adults :)
Celeste is such an incredible person! She memorizes every line from every movie or comedian, and is constantly making us laugh. She is extremely talented and has such an individual style that I love. She is very supportive and always willing to help others. I love her so much! We became close when my brother and sister were both on missions and Celeste and I were the only ones home. We've had many great times, and I am excited for many more.
C- I love ya!
