Weddings, Graduations, and Ex-boyfriends

Last weekend we were able to travel up to American Fork to see Candra and Jacob get married. It was a fun day to be able to go and be in the temple with them, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I am broken emotionally because I cry at almost everything now, not pregnant, just moved by lots of different things.

The temple grounds were gorgeous as seen in these pictures; beautiful tulips that Daniel offered to go and pick for all of us girls. It was a fun day to get away from Price, and Daniel was a good sport about waiting for an hour after Candra got married so that we could take pictures. He even modeled Caitie's lovely sun glasses for us.

After pictures were finally done, and all had gotten a good amount of May sun, we had an adventure finding Olive Garden to each lunch, and guess what! They had gnocchi! My favorite Italian dish! It wasn’t as good as when Steven and Linel Denison used to make it at Briccone’s but it was still very tasty.

Yesterday we were able to see Jared graduate from high school. It is crazy to think that he is done, that I graduated only three years ago, and that we are all getting older. It was a good ceremony, and I had the lovely time of sitting next to my ex-boyfriend Nick. His mother, Candra's mother, and my mother found this all rather funny. Thanks mom for choosing the seat. It wasn't bad, nor that awkward of a situation, just a different situation to be put in, and one that I wouldn’t necessarily choose for myself. It was nice to chat with him, and to see these kids graduate, as well as the look on Superintendent Bueno's face when Mikelle Dickson thanked teachers for teaching the students about STDs.

Before this becomes too long I'll close by wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend!

Made it through Spring Semester!

Spring semester is over! Grades are in, and I didn’t fair too badly. I pulled four A’s and one C (which is the grade that I was hoping for in my ridiculous physics class!) I was able to maintain a 3.57 GPA that will hopefully qualify me for a tuition scholarship for the next year.

Other things that have been going on, Daniel has been working at the Millsite Golf Course for two weeks now. It has been nice to be able to have him home every night for a change. He’ll be there for maybe a few more weeks, then either back to Crescent Junction, or who knows where in this construction business.

This past weekend was a busy one. Daniel and I helped my dad and Uncle Jon reroof my grandpa’s house. It was actually a fun experience, until the soreness and stiffness set in. I learned the “art” of setting the shingles in a step pattern so that they lay how they need to, I hammered the tar paper down, and even worked the nail gun nailing shingles. So if anyone needs new shingles J it was lots of fun to work alongside Daniel and it’s something we both love to do. We were able to get one side of the house done despite the rain and wind that we had. After we finished at my grandpa’s we invited Daniel’s sister Mindi and her boyfriend to go get Coldstone (dinner for us). It was fun.

The next day we headed for Richfield to get my ring cleaned and make sure the prongs we still okay, we saw Daniel’s cousin Julie’s new baby boy, he was so cute! And had a ton of hair! We visited with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen, and also purchased a chainsaw so that Daniel can start building furniture and have his own chainsaw to use. I think he is spoiled..

Coming up in the next few weeks we have a possible camping trip, dance review, working at Grandma Wilson’s house relaying concrete in the driveway, mother’s day, Jared’s graduation, Birthdays, and lots more. We are doing well, and still plugging away at life!
