A nice day for a wedding

Could this day be more gorgeous? And that view is just killer! I hardly socialized because I was just swept away in the majesty of it all. This is a shout out to my cousin Brittany who was married this Saturday and she looked wonderful! We had a picture but I was too unattractive, couldn't get over myself enough to post it. And I saw many family from my step mom's side that I see maybe once a year at the most. It was great to see everyone because they are just the most pleasant, inviting, warm, personable, hilarious people you could ever meet. Love 'em.
Breath-taking


And here's my kick-A sister Kelsey- Isn't she just cool? I desperately need her to live close so I can take advantage of her sense of style- can we say make-over? She bluntly told me that my hair was way too blond- which I took to heart because she's kind of an expert at that kind of thing.


I was just as happy as a clam to be there with my cute husband, any excuse to show him off is a good one.


All in all, just a beautiful wedding, Brit is one lucky little bride.
Thank you for inviting us!

Alot of people go to college for 7 years

Here he is in all his royal blue glory- the day was finally here! And it only took him a shade under a decade! J/K, it just felt that long, glad it's over and I can have my husband back!

We love you Mr. College Grad!

This was my favorite pic. of the day because I had to run up a huge hill in wimpy flats and pouring rain and my hair wasn't even done, but I made it! I got to watch him take the infamous Aggie graduation day walk to the Spectrum!

Here's Brade with he's graduation present. Pretty sweet huh? I don't know, I don't know anything about bikes, it could be made out of plastic for all I know. But he was sure happy about it!
Congrad-ulations Bugga! We sure are proud of you!

What I know

I was just reading some very disturbing comments made regarding a youtube video that addressed Tom Hanks referring to Mormons as un-american. These comments were just terrible, terrible language and just alot of hatred toward our church. It's scary to feel all that hatred. I feel I do live in happy valley where everyone is LDS and we just don't see alot of that controversy. There are a great many people that think we are racist, we are bigots, we are a cult, our church is a sham, and we believe in multiple Gods. Not many people read this blog but I wanted to express my belief in my religion, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are Christians, we believe in God the Eternal Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. They are seperate in being and one in purpose. We believe that the words of the Bible as far as it is translated correctly, are true, we also believe in the Book of Mormon, which is another testament of Jesus Christ. This is the true church on earth today. It is perfect because God is perfect and this is His church. But the members of it's church are not, we will never be while on the earth. Some of us are not the best examples of Christ-like love, charity, and understanding. We can be judgemental and fail to see the motes in our own eyes. Please forgive us. Do not let those that have hurt or offended you deprive you of the greatest blessings the Lord has to offer. Eternal life. You can not partake of such blessings if you do not forgive. If we were perfect and always said and did everything right, what need would there be for this church? Our church is here for the imperfect, for the humble, for the down-trodden, for the poor, the lonely, the afflicted. Anyone who has ever had a trial to bear or made a mistake that they feel there is no redemption from, our Gospel is for you. This is Christ's church and he loves each one of us. I know this because I have knelt and prayed and asked the Lord myself, if He loves me, if He knows me, and whether or not he can comfort me and help me to feel whole again. And I feel it so strongly that He does, the burning in my heart brings me to tears. He is there, and I know that the teachings of this church are true, lead by men called of God, inspired men, men of God. Listen to them if you have any doubts. There words are words of revelation and will touch your heart and mind and bring you peace in this troubling world. I know God lives, I know my Savior lived and died for me. No greater sacrifice can ever be given and no greater gift of Love can ever be shown. We are a church that knows this, this is what we teach, this is who we follow, and even though sometimes I fail to act upon it, I am still a Christian who loves my Savior Jesus Christ and am better for knowing it.

Defeat

Ran 5 miles today. Clocked it because it felt like 10. It was only 5, or less. Just wanted everyone to know what I pansy I am. Can't wait to run the Bear Lake half. Probably need some kind of ventilator at the end so I can make it to the hospital in time.

Celebrity Collage





Braden's too good looking to get any really funny ones- but just so you know Jeff Bridges is the old bald guy from Iron Man. I don't really see the resemblance, Ricky Martin on the
other hand . . . I actually always thought he looked like Chris Caraba from DC. Maybe he's not in the system yet.


Facial Recognition my bum


For all of you who think I look like Scarlett Jo, or a horse- how mistaken you are! This is one of the normal ones-another one I looked like Chelsea Clinton by 76% and Lance Bass by 60%. See Chelsea Clinton, not Scarlett, it's a scientific and mathematical fact. Who the heck is Lacey Turner? I really wanted to try this out because my cute co-worker Julia said it told her she looked Obama and Brittany Murphy. LOL. How can you look like Obama AND Brittany Murphy? I don't know because even if you combine the two, you still wouldn't get my friend Julia. I like her because someone said she looked like Barney too. It was her ears.
