Hello, A few Updates from now and past :)

Great Date

This Saturday included an awesome date with Spencer Burkenshaw from my institute class this last semester to the REAL Salt Lake game 1-1. I really liked having my doors opened, bought dinner, taken to watch soccer with someone education on the subject, and ending the night with a cuddle buddy watching BRAVE.

Quick shot of the field, brochure, and date :)

Happy Day! :)

Hey all!  This pic cracked me up and is totally how I've been feeling about work lately.  

But, after working my usual  Wednesday overtime I got home late to the best surprise!  The following pics are of the sweet surprises: my cold glass of water with a sweet letter, fresh baked plate of cookies (i had mentioned the night before that i'd been craving them), blanket and ipad ready for relaxation, and my comfy clothes laid out with options for if I was hot or cold.  Oh and the house all cleaned.  The most amazing part of it all is that Bryce was the most exhausted I have seen him that morning because his soccer game was at 9:40 the night  before.  It was just such a great surprise and it makes my hard work worth it :)

The last pics are more Bryce brags.. a before and after picture of a piece of sheet metal he shaped and then pin striped - his first day of pin striping!!  He is so talented and I'm so happy we can be here pursuing his passion.

Less than one month before Bryce's graduation!!  I'm so excited for family to come visit.  We love and miss you guys!

Graduation and Ellie Turned One!

Well I am absolutely terrible at formatting this dang blog and getting my pictures in the right order!Just read from left to right, one column at a time! Hopefully you can still enjoy this forever long post!

Friday night we spent the night in Logan at our friends' house so that we didn't have to drive up so early. I got all dolled up and then Jordan dropped me off at the Quad to meet with all of the other graduates. I found some friends to chat with since we had another hour before the ceremony would start. Jordan liked that they had the president of Nike speak to us. My favorite speaker was our valedictorian. I also really enjoyed doing the Scotsman for what might be the last time. :)

The second ceremony was for the college of Science and it was short and sweet. Jordan recorded me and mom snapped a bunch of pictures so you can see if she puts those on facebook. Mom, Dad, Charley, John, Kathy, Tyler, Justine, Eric, Tayvia, Jordan and Ellie came to that ceremony and then we had lunch at Village Inn after. So fun to have so many loved ones to celebrate with!

Ellie and I enjoyed a nap on the way home so we could be ready to party. Not sure Ellie got quite enough sleep though. At least eating her cake cheered her up! She wasn't so sure about the birthday song though...

Cute candy graduation caps made by mom!

Marti and me! She is so awesome that the University even mentioned her by name in his address to all of the graduates. I was proud to say I am her friend!!!

Mom, with the help of Grandma Bailey, Made me this cute graduation bear cake. Hoping to cut into it tonight.

A picture by the bull. Should look familiar to all of you Aggies! Hopefully just because you have seen it, not ridden it..... sick!

Jordan was busy with secrets secrets and printed all of these beautiful photos of me. His mom put together the banner to hang for our graduation/birthday party.

Not a great picture but I thought it turned out looking great! I set up the table and kindly requested Kathy and Justine to make cupcakes for it. They did a great job! Aggie ones for me and cute birthday ones for Ellie!

Mom made Ellie this mini bear cake!

Ellie went to town on her bear. These are his remains. :)

This little dog is just one of her many new fun toys. She also got a bunch of adorable clothes. Pictures to come. :)

Her and I were both showered in gifts. This isn't even that far into the gift opening that we already had this much gift wrap!!! Won't need to buy gift wrap for a while. Thanks for the many gifts!
