Christmasy Things

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm catching up on Christmas things. Here we go!
So I went to Winter Formal with my friend Nolan Johnson and I had a BLAST!! It was so much fun!

My amazing sister- in- law Marie did my hair! I loved it!! She is so wonderful!
Thanks again Marie.

This is our Christmas tree, to get us in the mood for the season. Anna and Marcie decorated it this year, and it turned out looking fantastic!

We had our family party with the marrieds the Monday before Christmas. It was so much fun!
We acted out the Nativity with baby Julie in place of baby Jesus. I really don't know how it turned out, because I was in the other room playing the piano. It sounded like it went well.

This is Linda, me, Grandpa Huber, and Anna at G&G Hubers house. We ate dinner over there and had family home evening for my moms birthday. It was lots of fun!

This is my wunnerful daddy! He took work off for a few weeks so he could be home with the family for Christmas break. He is so fun to play around with! He is such a funny fellow!

I couldn't get this picture to turn around, but I just thought I'd put it in anyway. This is my model picture from Christmas day. I'm wearing my new shirt and flipping my hair in the chilly wind. I don't know why it's underlining, but whatever!This is me and my favorite present...SCOTT!!

I hope you all had a most fantastic Christmas, and that the New Year will be just as enjoyable!
Don't eat too many delicious sweets!

An amendment

Dear Blog Readers,
Due to some recent feelings to our past post we feel it necessary to make an amendment. We would like all bloggers to know that we do not hate boys, we actually really like them most of the time. There are times when we feel that boys are the scum of the earth, but no fear, we get over that fairly soon. The last post was just to let off some steam from the previous week. That post does, however, apply to all male species who are not returned missionaries and are not temple worthy. I guess maybe I should have specified that in our previous post.
So, Rhonda's friends take note, you must be a returned missionary and worthy to enter the temple in order for her to even consider you. If you do not plan on going on a mission (which I don't think any of you are) she will never consider you and you will give her a headache and make her cry! (Rhonda believes this statement to be very harsh, but also very true. P.S. We can still be good friends! I'm all good with that.)
So, Linda's friends if you know of any eligible, nice, returned missionary boys who can take me to the temple right now if I wanted, let me know. I don't hate boys, and I'm not one of "those girls".

Sincerely Yours,
Linda the blunt!
(added note by me...Rhonda)

I think Rhonda forgot!

I think that Rhonda doesn't remember that she was going to post about Thanksgiving! We'll forgive her, it's hard to be a teenager! I'll just update you on our lives!

~Rhonda is currently at (or maybe coming home from it is 11:56) the Christmas formal dance. I'll let her tell you about that later if she remembers.

~Finals are here and I'm so glad to be done with the semester! It has been a long one! I think I'm going to fail my Spanish final because "I only have the knowledge of a first grader" (direct quote from our teacher) and I can't answer questions orally off the top of my head! I can't even spell words in English off the top of my head how do you expect me to answer questions in another language?!?!? Oh well, I'll still get a "B" in the class.

~The Brasilians are here! I trained 2 of them this week. They are nice girls and I have lots of fun talking to them! They speak English pretty well, and we have fun trying to translate what each other says when we don't understand.

~We have both decided that we don't understand boys, and that boys are trouble! Boys are okay in moderation, but please let's keep them at a distance. Oh yeah, and none of this mushy stuff! Boys only give you a headache and make you cry! The end!

~I have been dubbed "The blond girl that bosses everyone around" at work. It's okay with me, I find it quite funny, but everyone better remember it, or else!

~Rhonda just came home from the dance and looks very beautiful!
P.S. I got home before 12! Mua ha ha! (That was Rhonda invading!)

~I finally finished Christmas shopping. Scott is a hard person to shop for! I'll be glad when I can just donate money to his mission fund for his Christmas present!

~The little girls are done Christmas shopping (thanks to me). It was fun to roam the stores with them trying to figure out what we could get everyone that was under $2.00.

~We both got a lovely bonus from work (wait that's supposed to be a secret). We heart OSP at Christmas Bonus time, but only for the bonus, not for the customer increase!

~Rhonda's been Christmas carolling over the phone to people for choir, and been going to a lot of "gigs" for choir. She's hardly ever home!

~Oh, we both went and saw Twilight last night. It was supposed to be a Linda/Rhonda party, but ended up being a Linda/Rhonda/Scott/Anna/Rachel party. So much for alone time, oh well, we had a blast!

I think that's it, my brain is not functioning anymore! It's time to go to bed! Good night! or Good morning, or Good Afternoon!

Let me hear an AMEN for what Linda said about boys! I also agree with what she said about going to sleep now! Amen! (That was Rhonda again)

The Sneak Peak

So this Thanksgiving weekend was so much fun! I don't have a ton of time right now,
so I will give you a little preview of how it went. It went something like this...

...in other words, it was crazy fun!!

We Need Your Help!

So, we are getting ready to change the pictures in our bedroom. We are tired of looking at all the old ones! There is a problem, we don't know what pictures to put into our frames. We have a grand total of 8 spots that will be gladly accepting new pictures. Where's where we need your help. We are calling all blog readers, yes that includes our blog stalkers (don't worry it's nothing to be ashamed of) to select your top five most favoritest pictures of us. Then, leave us a comment rating your picks in order (the first one being the most favoritest in the whole entire world!) Your pick could end up on our wall!

#1

#2 (I do believe we have a better one of this, I just put up the wrong one)

We appreciate all who took the time to submit your opinion. They will all be taken into consideration! Thank you!

PS-Some people say we are too lovey-dovey on our blog and that some people might get the wrong idea about the two of us. To set the record straight to all blog stalkers who have absolutely no clue who we are (and if that were the case, why would you be stalking us?) we are sisters. That's it, when we discuss our love for each other it is sisterly love, we are just a little abnormal and love each other more than other sisters do I guess. We also get along very well and hardly ever fight. I hope that clears up the record for all who were wondering.

Today

Today I finished writing a blog post about Homecoming week. For some reason it turned up underneath Linda's Thankful post. Don't miss this wonderful post! Check it out and comment!

G'bye everyone!

~Rhonda~

We Give Thanks

Caution: This is an extremely long post! If you don't want to read it I won't be offended!

Okay, I know that it's not even Thanksgiving time yet, and most people aren't even thinking about Thanksgiving and counting their blessings, but I am. I am the Enrichment counselor in my ward and due to the fact that it's a singles ward and the relief society presidency is changed quite frequently I have the honor of completing two enrichment activities before the end of the year! How fun, huh? That means one in November and one in December. I have been planning my November one for quite awhile and my theme is "We Give Thanks". This theme has caused me to think about all of the things I'm thankful for more than I usually do. So, I'd like to share with you some people who have greatly influenced my life.

First: My family (especially my parents)

My family has been a great influence in my life! They have shown and taught me how to live my life in order to be happy. My mom taught us to love the music of the church, and my dad taught us to love the stories in the scriptures! I am grateful for that! They also taught us by example how to pray and the importance of prayer. My mom always taught us to be happy. There were quite a few times when I had to go to my room until I could find my smile because it had been lost somewhere in there. I now know that my mom just wanted me to be happy! My siblings have also been great and righteous examples to me. My older siblings have shown through their example the importance of the temple and the blessings that come through temple attendance. I truly love my parents and siblings for all that they have taught me!

Second: My Grandparents

I know this is only one set of them, but I am grateful for the examples all of my grandparents have set for me. They have also taught me to love the temple, and to accept church callings. My grandparents always encouraged me to sing, and always asked me to sing a primary song for them. I can remember the first time I ever saw my Grandma Guthrie cry, and that was when my family was singing "I Wonder When He Comes Again" (her favorite primary song) I think it was the first time that I realized music was so powerful and could have such a spiritual and emotional impact on us. I am grateful for that lesson she taught me, without even knowing it.



Third: My Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins

Without even knowing it my aunts and uncles have shown, by the way they've raised their families, how I want to raise my family. I'm not saying they were perfect, but it is better to learn from someone else's mistakes than to make them yourself. My cousins are also great examples to me, they have taught me to put my faith in the Lord and everything will work out for our good. I am grateful for the example of my cousins, that they got married and had children, even if their husbands were in school, and they had to move far away from their families.

Fourth: Continuing with my cousins

Laura and Kelsie are the only girl cousins (on both sides) that are my age (Stephen I'm sorry you're stuck in this picture!). We had many opportunities to spend the night at Grandma's house and talk about girl things. I am grateful for the friendship that we built, and for the time we had together to be girls! I can vividly remember one night in particular when we talked about growing up. We wanted to grow up and be "big girls" just like our sisters. Well my friends, we have grown up, and now I wish it wasn't so fast!


Fifth: Cajsa

Cajsa was my best friend in elementary school, starting in 4th grade. I was having a rough start of the year, all of my previous friends had moved during the summer, and I was left friendless. I don't really know how we became friends, but we did. We helped each other through some rough times, and I am grateful for her friendship. She helped me to do things I wouldn't have ever dreamed of doing, like being stage crew for the talent show at school. What a blast we had!


Sixth: My Mesa Jr. Friends

Almost every member of the church that went to Mesa Junior is in this picture. Therefore, I really relied on these friends! I learned how to stand up for my beliefs in my years at Mesa Jr. and it was easier because I had these good friends!


Seventh: Katie

Katie became my friend in Junior high, and we don't even know how! I am so grateful for Katie, we have been through thick and thin together. We have told each other some pretty deep secrets that to this day have been kept in the strictest of confidence! Katie and I were also friends during some tough times. We helped each other as we struggled with certain situations. I love Katie to death, and am so grateful that I can call her my friend!


Eighth: Jaimie

Although I probably never told her, I am grateful for Jaimie! Jaimie taught me some very valuable life lessons! She taught me how to be more outgoing, break out of my comfort zone and be more social. I have many treasured memories that took place with Jaimie. One of those is the trip I took to her cabin. It was one of the most fun, yet scariest things that I had ever done in my life. Let's just say, you should always be with someone who knows how to change a tire! Thanks Jaimie for some fun times!


Ninth: My Organ Stop Friends

My Organ Stop friends are an interesting bunch of people! This is only a limited selection of them! I am grateful for the opportunity I have to talk to some of them about the gospel. Sometimes it is the scariest thing in the world to share the gospel with people you work with because you have to see them again, and you don't want to offend them! Apparently we aren't doing too bad though because we're averaging about a baptism a year. I am always amazed that people from such different backgrounds can all work together and get something done.


Tenth: Ashlee & Kaela

Sorry, no picture of Kaela. I'm also sorry that I've already designated a whole post to them previously, and you have to hear about them again. I am so grateful for these girls, they have taught me that I need to be a friend, and that friends come from all different backgrounds. Before I was friends with Kaela and Ashlee I didn't think I had very many friends, I was actually quite shocked when Kaela asked me to be one of her bridesmaids because I didn't even think we were that good of friends! It was then when I learned that I had so many friends around me, and that I wasn't being the kind of friend that I needed to be. It made me try harder to be a friend and to reach out to all of those people around me that really were my friend and I just didn't realize it!


Eleventh: Rhonda

I know I've already talked about my family, but I'd like to express gratitude to select members of my family. Please don't be offended if you're not here sibling! Rhonda is superwoman! I don't know what I'd do without her. When Rachel got married I was so mad that I had to share a room with Rhonda, but it was the best thing in the world! Rhonda and I are such good friends now, and I can't even imagine life without her! She brings so much humor into my life, and tells extremely long stories!


Scottie!

I learned to appreciate Scott more when Brad left on his mission. I love Scott and all of his creative and inventive ideas! I also love that we fight about stupid things that don't even matter so that the neighbors can have a good laugh (although I should get to drive sometimes!)


Brad:

Brad has always been my little pal. We have always done everything together. I have many great memories of adventures in the land of imagination, and very frequently wish we could still be having them!

BUT, as you can see, occasionally we still have them (who'd have thought big cement balls in front of Target could be so fun?)! Before Brad left on his mission we would talk every night on the couch in his bedroom. We would talk about our life dreams, characteristics he wants in a wife, characteristics I want in a husband, we talked about EVERYTHING! We talked about his mission, about the temple, about our testimonies, about music. I really miss those talks that could last until 3 in the morning. We even talked about how if I served a mission when I turned 21 that we would come home at about the same time. I really thought about that, I really wanted to serve a mission, he helped me to think about it more. In the end though it didn't feel right, I felt that I needed to focus my attention on my education, and be a member missionary here, at home.


Rachel:

Rachel is one of my other Best Friends! I can never thank her enough the love she has shown toward me. Rachel always made me feel safe to go to school. Just knowing that she was in the classroom down the hall and if I ever needed anything I could find her was a great relief and source of strength for me. Rachel and I also had many conversations late into the night. We would talk about anything and everything. Being girls we would cry a lot, and I mean a lot when we would talk about what the future would bring. The day Rachel got married was probably one of the hardest days in my life! I felt like I was losing my best friend, and I didn't like it. Honestly I was mad at James and wanted to know who gave him permission to take my sister away from me. Don't worry, I'm over that now, and I love James, and I love that he loves Rachel so much. I am grateful that he takes such good care of her. Rachel was always one who could talk me into anything. The picture above was shortly after I cut off all of my hair and donated it. I wasn't going to do it, but Rachel talked me into it. I'm so glad she did! Rachel taught me many things too. She taught me how to share (I always told her she should just give me her money and I'd go clothes shopping for her!) She has taught me the importance of patience, not only by living with her, but by watching her deal with other people. She has taught me that it's important to be everybody's friend. I was always amazed at Rachel's circle (or should I say herd) of friends! She has taught me how to have faith and a happy heart even during trials, hardship, and heartache. She has a great testimony of the gospel, and is a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, and sister!


Erik: I am grateful for Erik because he keeps me going to school. School is seriously so much easier and so much more fun when you take it with a sibling (I highly recommend it)! You already have a study partner, and someone to laugh at all the stupid jokes the teacher makes! Erik, thank you for going to school with me! I will miss taking classes with you when I move on to ASU! Erik is also a very good dad! He loves Jack so much and I love to watch them play together. I love to hear Erik say, "Hi, little man!" and watch Jacks face automatically crack into the biggest smile. Erik works so hard to support his little family, and I love him so much!

Alan:

(Sorry Alan, I forgot to load the picture of you and I didn't want it all the way at the top!)

Alan has helped me so much in the past couple of years. He has always given me advice on what class to take and with which instructor. Two of my most favorite classes were Alan recommended (BPC 110 with Dave Harris, and Sociology of Marriage and Family with Jack Peterson). Alan has also helped me to continue forward with my education and go to ASU. It is quite a scary thing to do, but Alan (and Marie) have helped me all the way! He really is like my advisor because those stupid advisors at the school really know nothing! Alan is also a very good dad, he is teaching his little girls important gospel truths with the help of his sweet wife Marie. He works very hard to provide for his family, and I am grateful that he values the importance of having Marie at home.

Well, that's all folks, I hope you're not asleep, and that I haven't made you too bored! Thank you to all those who have helped me to become the person I am, and the person I am striving to become!

Homecoming Week

So I'm finally posting about Homecoming week! Caution, everything is mixed up!So I went to the Homecoming dance with Bryce Clifford. He was a really fun date and is just an all around good guy. He is super tall and I only come up to about the bottom of his ear, but he still likes me just the same!
This is me "inflicting" Bryce with a flower. If you haven't read my mom's blog about Homecoming yet, I would highly suggest it.
We both got our flowers from Sis. Jones so they matched perfectly! Thanks Sis. Jones! They were so beautiful! They had these little "happy flowers" in them. Bryce liked them so much that he took a picture of one on his cell phone! What a goof!
This is a picture of Marcie, my dad, and I before the dance.
And here is my sweet mother! Don't we compliment each other well? I just have to make sure you all notice our choices of shirt color. Purple and gold!! Mesa High all the way!
Ok, this is me and Leighton Carroll during the Homecoming parade. We had been working on the choir float everyday after school the whole week and we were so tired! The night before this I was at his house at 11 pm. We had started working right after school and had worked until about 6:30 when he went to Light practice. Then after that, at about 9:30 he came and got me and we worked on the float till 11. Pretty much it was a party! We were dead tired! P.S. The umbrella is because it was sunny, not because it was raining.
These are the fun people that stood on the float. Kinsey Peotter, Brandon Randall, Calli Anderson, and Marc Johnson all sang songs during the parade. Other people who participated were Michael Thurber, Jarin Stapley, Elizabeth Hermosio, Afton Crum, Brad Bishop, Kayla Valinski, and Nathan Dandridge. Thanks everyone for helping out! Do you see the beautiful paint job that we did on the poster? Leighton's little sister Catherine helped us paint. She did a wonderful job! After the parade was over, we went to the Carnival and sold doughnuts and icecream cones. After the carnival, everyone went to the game and me and Leighton helped a few student council people clean up. After that we went back to Leightons house and watched "Sleeping Beauty". I was so tired that I was falling asleep during the part when the fairies were putting the dust on everyone to make them go to sleep, and they are playing that sleeping song. I felt bad. It was like the magic was coming out through the screen! I'm glad Leighton wasn't watching me too closely, otherwise he would have seen me dozing!
Overall, it was a super fun week! I had a blast hanging out with friends and partying with everyone! I'm glad I have friends that can have fun, even while working. Thanks for all the good memories!

~Rhondi~

for Lisa ~Frhonda~

AHEM!

*Please read Rhonda's post, below mine, first. Thank You!*

Dearest Little Wildabeast,
I would like you to know that even though my poetic skills are limited, I am still able to create short poems. Everyone can't be a master poem maker like yourself. Just to prove to you my poem making skills I created a poem on the way to Erik and Stacy's house tonight just for you, about you. Here it is:

Rhonda is so sweet.
She's like a little treat.
She is so fine,
and she's all mine.
She is oh so neat!

I learned how to write this kind of a poem in sixth grade. I think it's called a Limerick, am I right master poem writer? I hope that you can enjoy my limited poem writing skills wildabeast because if you did not I would be so sad!

Lots of Love,
Your Waterbuffalo

And for our reading audience's pleasure here is a poem that Rhonda wrote to me during Family Home Evening once:

As the dreary days go by,
I sometimes give a sigh
of unfound love.
The nights and days all fade away
Into dreams of forgotten pleasure.
My love for you that's strong
and true is more than I can measure.
Thine love is like a rose!

Don't we have a grand time in Home Evening? Master poem writer could you tell me what kind of a poem this is? Oh, one more! This is the poem that Rhonda made up spur of the moment when she was sick (the one about ice):

Linda is so nice.
She brings me lots of ice.
When I am sick in bed,
With a hurting stomach and head.

This is proof that the master poem writer does write short poems, but maybe only when she's sick!

My amazin' Poem!! YAY!

Reason 2:

I wrote this mostly amazing poem (with 2 lines from Anna). It happened whilst I was supposed to be...doing my homework. Anyway, I think it's pretty funny, so here goes!

Homework

Why do teachers give homework everyday?

It really makes me want to say,

"I already have a bajillian stuffs to do,

like watch clouds go by and hear cows moo!"

Why must the homework never end?

It's like my stalker, not my friend!

Oh the horrible woes of homework!

My teachers tell me not to shirk,

but if I do all my work, I do nothing else,

which ends up being dangerous to my health!

I wish my teachers could see

the agony they place in me.

My assignments are stacked up over my head,

pouring out of my backpack and onto my bed.

They fall to the floor and out of my door,

the very look of them I do abhor!

The black and white letters on the white crispy paper

describe the rules of the chore or caper.

This never-ending job overwhelms my social life

causing me much emotional strife!

Oh why do the teachers keep giving this stuff?

It makes them seem so mean and gruff.

If you were a true human being that enjoyed fresh air and breeze,

you would let your students fulfill this same need.

You'd allow them time for frolicking and prancing,

laughing and singing and silly dancing!

The End

If you had any doubt about who this is, it's Rhonda. Yup, you were right!

I don't think Linda is capable of writing such a poem.

One time I wrote her this one about her getting me ice when I was sick!

It was terrific!

She enjoyed every minute of it, and even reminds me of it sometimes!

If you have any random good rhymes for me, please share them!

Even if it's just a two liner rhyme, that would be super!

I think I'm obsessed with exclamation points!

What do you think?

YES!!

Ok, since I am now officially rambling, I will leave you.

I hope you have a super dooper day!

Later gator!

~Rhonda, Rhondi, Rahonda, Rahonchel, Sally, R-honda, The little Wildabeast, Wizninji,

Rhonda Lafonda the Honda, and whatever else I am randomly called~

By Popular Request

By popular request we are changing our blog. We are now going to write all the reasons why we are happy/grateful/whatever positive! Even though I was very against this idea until we got to Reason 15 (okay maybe I'm a little OCD!) we are going to switch now.

Reason 1:

Every year at Organ Stop we hire a bunch of people for our winter crew. Usually this means we hire every single deadbeat, crackhead over 19 that ever walked the earth. (Okay, I know this doesn't sound happy, but I'll get there, I promise!) I mean seriously who else would want a minimum wage job like this at their age?!?!?! This is greatly troubling to me because I have to work with all of them and pretend to be nice to them and try not to tell them how much of a loser they are for not going to school when they could get financial aid and not pay a single cent for their education. (I seriously don't get it! I can't get financial aid because my parents are too rich or something, and apparently they're supposed to be paying for my education!)

This is not the case this year however. I am so excited! This year Organ Stop has partnered with this program that sends college students from foreign countries to the United States to work during their summer vacation . This means that during their summer vacation it is our winter season which equals mucho snowbirds! So, we are having very intelligent (Pre-med and lawyers) come from Brazil and Chile to work for us this winter! No crackheads, druggies, strippers, losers, or uneducated people this year! I am greatly looking forward to it! It makes me HAPPY!!

Sheesh, I don't know!

DISCLAIMER: Rhonda is about to fall asleep and is dictating this to me. She may not be quite coherent or even awake for all I know!

Reason 11: Choir Co-Presidentness is tiring!!

Have you ever been choir president? I didn't think so (with the exception of Kailei, whom I love)!

Oh look my quotes! (as you can see Rhonda is really out of it!) She would like our viewing audience to know all of our inside joke quotes! Most of them are from me (Linda) because I have a hard time speaking and am slightly dyslexic (never ask me which hand is my right because it will probably take me five minutes to figure it out!)

"No wonder you have soles in your hawks" ~Marcie

"Illegal, doesn't happen, not allowed!" ~Linda

"It is microwave and dishwater safe!" ~ Grandma Huber

"We don't dance, we only make pizzas!" ~Linda

Rhonda: "I don't like Softlips!"
Linda: "Me too!"

"I told you, I have problems speaking!" ~Linda

"I'm going to tell Santa Claus on you!" ~Linda

"You still have five more minutes of today" ~Linda

"It won't wake up. It's in a coma! ~Stacy

"Did Rhonda dictate this to you?" ~Linda

"Movies, Series, Seasons, Episodes!" ~Scott

"It's not today until you go to sleep, it's still tomorrow! ~Linda

"You look like you're supposed to be in the cemetary!" ~Marcie (She meant Military)

"Gas lawn mowers kill the ozone later, and then we'll all float away into olivian" ~Linda

If you don't like our quotes, "oh waah"!

PS-all of these have a "terrific, extravegant, macho" story behind them. If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again, if you need help please hang up and dail the operator, oops I mean if you'd like to hear a story behind a quote please specify which quote you'd like to be educated in and we'll decide if you're worthy or if the story is appropiate enough for your eyes to behold upon the screen.

Thank you and goodnight!

What a perfect day for a wedding!

Reason 10: Wedding: A day that is sure to make you tired and give you a headache. Also, a day that will make you very happy!

Kaela and Derek were married yesterday, and it was a perfect day! On Friday night I was watching the news and the high for the day was 95, but the high for tomorrow (Saturday) was 75 and breezy. It was perfect!! A perfect day for a wedding! So, as I was standing at outside the temple, with the rest of the single people that sadly aren't allowed to go to the temple even though they wish they could so badly, I saw Brother and Sister Bryce. It was nice to talk with them. Then, when they left my grandpa came walking out of the temple. I love my grandpa so much, he is an amazing man! So, I went to talk to my grandpa and he starts crying and tells me that he had the opportunity to seal Kaela and Derek. Of course then I was crying because my grandpa got to seal my best friend in the temple for time and all eternity. Then a little while after that Kaela and Derek came out. They were so happy and just glowing!
Kaela was so gorgeous, and so happy! When we were all standing on the stairs we saw our manager standing there, we told him to come get in the picture, but he wouldn't. So, the cameraman turned around and started taking pictures of him. When we were done with that picture we went over and talked to Jack. He was on his way to the bank and saw everyone gathering so he decided to stop by and see if it was for Kaela and surely enough it was. Kaela had ordered all of her fruits and veggies through Organ Stop and hadn't picked them up yet so Jack cut everything up for us when he went back to work. He is such a good man. I love him to death, he's always looking out for the other guy!

This is the whole "wedding party". Some of our faces look kinda funny because these aren't the professional pictures, they're just from Scott's camera.

Ashlee and I spent most of the day together. I think we're glued together at the hip when Brian, her boyfriend, isn't around. We had lots of fun together!

These are a bunch of pictures of the reception. They are mostly Organ Stop people because that's who I hang out with at functions like this!

This is my cousin Stephen, and his girlfriend Lisa (who works at OSP)

This is my best friend Katie, who got married and now I don't see her very much. I love it when I do see her! She's got one of the cutest babies in the world!!

This is our trooper/social Rhonda. Even though she just barely got home from the pioneer trek she still had to come to Kaela's reception!

ANAMIN!!! You simply cannot say Anamin's name without using exclamation points! Yes, Anamin works at OSP.

Ah, ha! These are my Hale cousins. Michelle's hair was so so so so cute! I loved it!

This has probably got to be one of my most favorite pictures. This is Brother Beach sitting on a bench. He just sat there while everyone else in his family danced. I loved it! He looked so relaxed and comfortable. He was probably super happy that he didn't have to stand in the line anymore, I would have been!

Everything went so well. I was kind of worried on Friday when we were setting up! I'm so happy for Kaela and Derek, they are amazing people who have overcome great obstacles! HOORAY they're married one less stress in my life!!!
