The Story of a Cake








No, I did not punch my husband out. HOWEVER- did you notice that he didn't even AIM for my mouth???? I don't eat with my eyeballs, dear. :-)

Married! Flowers! Graduation! Baby!

Well folks, we here in the northwestern portion of Utah County have now reconnected with the world- We have Internet and cable in our home. YAY!!!! Now I can update my blog and Facebook, AND I can watch AI and The Office in the comfort of my own living room- which, by the way, thanks to my sister and Brett, now has some furniture in it. Our home is great, work is coming along, and we're just sitting back and enjoying the whole newlywed thing.

Anyway, LOTS of pics to give y'all the update...

Yesterday, Biff graduated from the University of Utah!!!! She now holds a B.S. in Nursing- and I tell ya, I couldn't be more proud!!!! I have no comprehension of the work this girl has done with school, a baby,a husband, and everything else she's had going on in the last few years. GO BIFFY!!!! Interesting fact: Ever since Biff was a teeny little girl she wanted to be a "nuse." She knew when she was three... I STILL don't know what to be when I "grow up."




Kensie is becoming a full on girly girl and I LOVE it. Before her hair was even done, she was putting on Nana's lipstick.


Yeah, kid. I'm glad your entertained by simple things...






Our graduation present to Biff was an iPod extravaganza. She will now learn to love the gloriousness that is the iPod.




A few weeks ago for FHE, Chuck and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. I LOVE LOVE LOVE FLOWERS and this really was a highlight of my month!
























CHUCK'S BIG NEWS


I have a happy husband. Only we've had it for about three weeks and we're just now able to watch TV on it. Ha ha. Good thing he's more of a movie boy.



I, on the other hand, begged him to rig something up so I could somehow manage to watch American Idol. This was what he came up with: (With the use of an antenna which didn't quite get a good signal out here...)



What a nice boy he is. I could hear and see it well enough to be satisfied. But I'm thankful for Dish Network now... no more rigging random antennas.

We have a new niece!!! Mayzie Elise Keeler was born on April 14. We love her!


My husband is still a little nervous with newborns... but gosh he's cute.


A few weeks ago we also celebrated Sam's 30th birthday at Maddox in Brigham City! His wife TOTALLY hooked him up with an amazing surprise party. So glad we were a part of it!



So there's the update on life. I'm feeling a bit lost right now, not quite knowing what to do with myself... I need to really buckle down and make my house cute and get on the voice lesson biz. I had a bit of a breakdown the other night, so I'm thankful for a cute hubby who constantly tells me how great I am while I'm wailing "I'm not good at anything!" Yeah.

But all in all, life is fantastic right now. I love spring.

Confessions of a Costco Model

Cute dress, eh? Well, here's a good story about my life.

Yesterday, as I so diligently did my modeling of Mikarose dresses at the South Salt Lake Costco, a woman approached me and started discussing that the dresses look frumpy unless you add some bling to them. Then she started telling me the history of her sister's pregnancies and health ailments... and then she said, "Do you know what the sex of your baby is?"

...

Blink.

Uh...

I told her it was a girl.


PS: I'm not fat.

Let's Play Wedding Again...


Is it normal to get all sentimental and bummed out that your "big day" is over? That's how I've been feeling the last few days. I was in one of my bags, cleaning out things from the past month or so, and I found a bag with my temple socks and all my jewelry from the wedding day in it. Sniffle. All of a sudden I felt this huge pang of sadness that the day is over and that I never get to play bride again. It's just this day that you look forward to your whole life... and then, it's quickly gone. Sigh.

Good thing I have amazing photos.
