yikes!! time is flying! I am going home in less than a month! I'll be leaving for home on the July 20th. It will be hard to not see Josh for about three weeks before the wedding, but I think everything will turn out ok. My mom and brother came up last weekend and we had lots of fun. We got a dress, got invitations set, and got ties for the boys. I was lucky enough to love the first dress I tried on, so it was pretty easy!
That saturday I also had a great day. Lyssa set up a great morning. It was Russ' birthday so she set up a time where we could go to a paintball field and have a fun paint fight. It was fun. I'll post a picture, but it is blurry... sorry about that, I guess the guy taking it didn't know how to focus...

Josh and I went to the batting cages... fun, but holy cow, it hurts your hands so badly!!

Alyssa and Shelene, we had a bonfire and I don't know what they were doing here, but it was fun!

Things Work Out

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us,....If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
- President Gordon B. Hinckley, March 1, 1997

So close

well, everything seems to be going by pretty fast now. I only have 2 days of class left. Such a relief! I have a big paper to write, but I think I have been able to do sufficient research for it so I am hoping it won't be too bad. All I have left in my biomechanics class is my final, in history I have to write a one page paper and a final, and in english it is just the one paper!! YAY!! spring term is coming to an end! This time next week I will be taking my final then heading up to SLC to pick up my mom so we can find me a dress!! It will be fun. I hope I find one that I like pretty quickly so that it isn't too stressful, I don't like stress....

Pictures

These are just some of our pictures. We had fun taking them, now we just have to choose one...

Because I have time

With two papers and an assignment down I am ready to start my last full week of school. Granted, I have to finish of Friday and then I get the glorious weekend, and then the week starts. It went really fast. I guess that is good, but then again I think it went fast because of the stress from the wedding. We still have 70 more days. Last night Josh and I took our engagement pictures. Kathy Tenney, a wonderful photographer and family friend was willing to take us around Alpine and shoot some pictures. I haven't looked at all of them yet besides on the camera screen, but I am excited and I think they turned out well. I'll post a couple when I get the CD of all of them, but that will probably be in a couple of days. The one thing we did for the pictures is try to make it so we didn't look too white. Neither Josh or I is very tan, although we would like to be. It was funny because sometimes KAthy would take a picture look at it and say she needed to turn the flash way down, I think this is because we were so white, but owell. It made me laugh. Notice in this picture how my face looks whiter, but my arms are tanner... I guess my body tans unevenly... Haha... this is not a great picture of us, hopefully our engagements turned out way better.

5 more days

Only 5 more days of school. I hope I last. Making it through these last two weeks will be hard. I have two papers for English, 3 for History, 3 quizzes and 2 assignments in Biomech, plus a final in each. Oh, it'll be tons of fun!!! I am looking forward to the end though because that is when my mom comes!! She'll come to town for a day to help me look for a dress. I am excited to talk to her in person and not on the phone. This past month I have been on the phone more than I have ever been!! I can't believe how fast spring term has come and almost ended. Each day I learn so much in each class that it really feels like I have been here for forever. Please, let this month past fast!

Weekend trip

Well, I know this is over a week old, but i just wanted to report...
For memorial day weekend Andy and his girlfriend Cessily were able to come visit and stay for a couple of days. It was great to see Andy. It's always great knowing that I always come and talk to him, so it was nice to have him here for a couple of days. We are really bad at making decisions, but we finally got out and went bowling and saw a movie and had food and stuff. I am also glad that he and Josh got to get to know each other better. Anyways, here are some pictures...
