Mc's Wedding

I guess it was about time that one of us kids took the plunge.... haha. Well McWayne got married on the 29th of May. I am so happy that he found himself an amazing girl. Shannon rocks! I am not gonna lie, a little strange having someone in my family married. The wedding was stressful and I didn't even have to do the planning. We had the wedding reception in my backyard. My dad and I spent forever getting the place to look amazing. They were truly blessed because it was supposed to rain but it held out just for them. It was a way fun day. Got to see lots of family that I haven't seen in a long time, and a lot of people helped out which they were all amazing to do that for us. They got married at the salt lake temple. Isn't it great that families are forever. I have the best one in the entire world.

A few random memories to remember.....

1) Had to go back to the temple to get a parking token. Got back to the car told Katie not to drop it, I handed it off and it dropped under the seat.... 15 minutes later we found it.

2) Wind + chocolate fountain = disaster

3) Setting up the music for the reception and broke the shop window....oops

4) Best cake smashing I have ever seen

5) Bouquet madness.....never seen so many desperate girls want it.....needless to say I was one of them

Never thought this day would come....

but I DID IT!!! Saturday I graduated from Utah State University, the best school in the universe. Majored in Math Education and minored in Physical Education/Coaching. It definitely hasn't been the easiest journey but I sure am glad I never gave up. I could have never done it without my parents support, and the good work ethic I learned from them. I have been student teaching this semester and Love it! Helping students learn is definitely one of my passions. Hopefully I will land a job this summer. I never wanted to walk but I decided that after 6 years of being a full time student that I deserved it. My family came to support me along with my best friends Jessie, and Cami. They have all had a huge impact on my life and I could never thank them enough. Sunni also graduated on Saturday. She got her PhD at North Carolina University. She is my role model. She is amazing and I was so sad that we could not go out and support her.

The tunaboat.... to the g-ma..... to LT RED!!!

I never dreamed at getting such a beauty!

I have always been blessed to have something to drive. I got to drive my parents suburban (aka tunaboat) in high school. People always made comments but I was able to drive my volleyball team around which is where it got its nickname.

When I was getting ready to head to college I got the g-ma car from my grandma Mumford. At a family reunion once, I drove her home and she was just amazed of how good of a driver I was. She never stopped talking about it and when my dad showed interested in the car she gave it to me because I was the best driver. I love my grandma so much. She passed away a few months after that. The g-ma car has definately held out longer then I thought it would. It had its good times and its bad but it got me through my time in logan. It was named the g-ma car after my friend luke made a comment about how it looks like a grandma car. I told him that it was my grandmas car....boom. haha it was funny. My friend Bryanna told me she would miss watching my speedometer. It goes crazy and she never could tell how I knew how fast I was going.....well you must be one with the grandma car. It is official the g-ma car is dead. I will miss it and the memories!

But not that much. I was lucky that my parents stubbled across the cougar. They were driving around a neighborhood in my stake and spotted it. It is a stick shift so that has been a challenge learning how to drive it. After a few weeks on the road, I must say I am not that bad. I LOVE it! and I am a LUcKY girl! My dad and I named it LiTtle RED. After we named it, I remembered that that was what my grandpa mumford would call me when I went to visit him. Just a fun fact.

Sunny ST. GEORGE

I love going down to st. george with my family. We missed having my mom, sun, and mc, but we still had fun together. We haven't been to Zions since I was a little girl so that was fun to see the beautiful scenary in that park. We also went to snow canyon and had fun playing around the rocks. One of my favorite parts about all of our trips to the st. george is going to the park and hitting pecans out of the trees. Oh they are so good. I love the sunshine. Even though I haven't had much of a winter this season, (which is alright by me) I just can't wait for summertime.

Shootin' it up!

I gotta love my families little traditions. McWayne started buying shotgun shells and clay pigeons for all of us for Christmas presents a few year's ago. We go a few days after Christmas and just have a blast....haha literally! This trip, my dad found a toilet seat that was all shot up, so what does he do, takes a shotgun to it. Lets just say there was nothing left of it. Good times!

Leaving the Logan

I never thought I would ever leave my home of 6 years. I remember going on walks with my roommate and we would always say how great Logan was and that we would never leave. I guess things change. I decided I needed a change in my life for the moment. I would love to end up back in Logan but I guess I will see where the future takes me. I have had so many great memories and many that are unforgettable. There are many things about Logan that I will miss but here are my top 10.....

TEAM JACOB!!!

Man, how could you not be team jacob! Don't get me wrong I loved edward in the book, but he had nothing on Jacob. I think I became a Jacob fan in the book of new moon. It was so depressing. I hated Edward for leaving Bella. It took me forever to read the first part of the book. Once Jacob joined the book in a major role then I was a fan. He was the guy that was there for Bella. He is just the nice guy...isn't it true that nice people finish last. I went and saw the movie last night with some friends. I liked it a lot. probably because Jacob was in it. Anyways Go team Jacob!!!
