Farewell

So a group of us were lucky enough to be invited to Ririe Idaho the weekend of Kaite's farewell to spend time with Katie Jo and the Parker family before Katie left on her mission to Guatemala.

We had a blast, and the parker family were great hosts as always. We got to go boating at Ririe Dam (It was the first time I have ever gone tubing and it scared the crap out of me-and made me sore for days!), ate delicious greasy Big Jud hamburgers, enjoyed beautiful scenery, played glow in the dark volleyball, and listened to the amazing Katie Jo give her farewell speech at church.

She did such an amazing job and is going to be a Fantastic missionary.

We love and are are going to miss you Sister Katie Jo Parker.



p.s

Who freakin knew all you had to do was update the settings on blogger to get bigger pictures!
It is fantastic!

Honeymoon? Yes Please.

In six days we are traveling to the west coast.


You may not know this about me, but I happen to love California.
In fact you might say I am in love with California.

so,
I cannot wait for
this.

this.


this.


definitely cannot wait for this.

but mostly, I cannot wait to spend all my time with this cool boy.
This boy is my husband.

who has one wicked tan line.


and I love him.

and it was perfect.

So, we were blessed with the 2 most beautiful days this summer has had.

And it couldn't have been more perfect.

It is insane it has already been 1 whole week.

Where did all the months of planning go?

----------------------------------------------

If you are worried this is the only post I am going to do on this subject you are dead wrong my friends.

This is the first of probably 17...100.
So stay tuned.

p.s A big THANK YOU to my amazing brother who stayed at the temple being the a backup shooter to our photographer so we could get some pictures on our video, he is the one who took all of these gorgeous shots. The lighting was a dream.

the summer internship experience. story 1.

So.....I haven't written about my internship very much...ok at all.

And it has been a pretty freakin awesome experience so far. I have been learning a lot, I work with some pretty awesome and fun people, and its down town so the atmosphere is fun and I'm learning how to get around in that craziness of a city better.

Come to find out, Busath is a pretty famous name in the state of Utah and they have taken pictures of some pretty amazing and famous people....if the name Thomas S. Monson rings a bell then you know what i'm talking about.

But, to get to my story. The other day I was assisting Drake the head photographer. When I was going into work I knew we were doing a location shot...but wasn't sure what it was. I got to work and found out we were taking pictures of a lady named Gail Miller....and dummy me thought oh ok pictures of some lady.

Everyone. this was not just some lady. This was Gail Miller....as in formerly married to Larry H. Miller, owner of the Jazz and one of the most recognized names in Utah.

And here is the real kicker. We were going to her house!

Yes ladies and Gents. I got to go take pictures in Larry H. Millers Castle, I mean home. I also got to hold and pet his cat named Henry. He was the funniest most friendly cat I have ever seen.

It was a pretty dang cool experience. I have kinda liked this internship just a little. I just wish they paid me.

Silent Dance Par-tay.

So I pretty much go to the coolest school ever.
There are tons of traditions that go throughout the year, and this one just started this year.
During finals week both semesters, there was a silent impromptu dance party.
In order to be a part of it.
You need: An ipod, sweet moves, and no dignity.

It was so fun, and people looked at us like we were crazy. and the best part of it was....we didn't care.
I love Utah State.

Party In the USA.

This post took me far too long to post. I will hopefully be catching up with all the events of the last 2 months soon!

(tryin to be) SO COOL.

Since I haven't blogged about anything exciting that has happened this summer, I thought this

would be a good way to kick off the fun summer posts.

So a little something about Kev. He loves to longboard. And he is quite good at it.

He bought me a longboard, so now we can be cool and go together.

I'm trying to get better so we can go along the beaches of Cali in a month, and look uber cool.

.....I need to practice a lot, because right now I look like a fool.


I'm glad its starting to feel like summer. I like the summer.
Yes I do.

25 days, until forever begins.



anyone else freaking out with excitement?
this is crazy talk.
