Engagements

When my mom was in Provo a while back she took some engagement pictures for us! I was so grateful for all the time that she put into practicing taking pictures, learning more about the camera and how she wanted to capture pictures that we would love. She has done so much for us and I am grateful everyday for her willingness to give and for the sacrifices that she makes. I love you mom! And I love the pictures that you took! We had a fun time taking them!

Ignore warning

And thank you to my sis, Alyssa, for taking the time to edit these pictures! The edits look so great! I am VERY lucky to have such a talented sister. Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do and are doing to help with wedding things! Love you big sis.

General Conference

Josh and I tried going to watch General Conference in Salt Lake this year. Tried is the key word. This is the second time I've gone down town and haven't gotten in. We need to work on finding tickets next time. We got up early Saturday morning to get to the 10:00 session. We got in pretty close to the front of the line and then they took us to the Tabernacle and sat us down. Here they gave us these line passes and told us that at about 9:45 they will start to let us in to fill in the extra seats. Well, once we sat down we didn't move. Not one person moved. They never even told us that we weren't going to get in. I was very disappointed that we didn't get to be in the same room as the Prophet and have that experience, but we will not give up! One day we will. It was still great being able to listen to conference. Conference weekends are just so great! I love them!

Josh got to see a friend who was from out of town!

Lunch with my amazing friend Tara at California Pizza Kitchen!

 I was so glad to be able to spend time with this girl! She has been an amazing friend to me and I just don't get to see her enough! I am so glad that I get you as one of my bridesmaids Tara! I love you girl and was so glad we got to visit with you :)

For the Sunday session Josh and I went over to his Aunt Deb's house to hang out, eat food and listen to the amazing words of the speakers.

 I am grateful to know that there is modern revelation on the Earth today and that I am able to access it so easily! Twice a year we are privileged to hear from our leaders with the knowledge that they have been guided on the instruction to give us. And I also love how the things they say are not just for the LDS people. This is information for the world with guidance from our Heavenly Father. We get words of comfort, support, guidance, and direction. I truly feel so blessed to know that I have steadfast and unwavering places to look for guidance and strength in my life. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am so proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

We can fly!!

Best pic of the night!

Josh's favorite

This past Thursday Emily and I had the opportunity of going to my International Business professor's house for a class party.  My professor has had a very successful career in his lifetime with some of his highest achievements coming from AT&T in Japan.  We knew he was successful but we didn't realize how successful he was until we got to his place.  As the night went on we became little kids in a candy shop.  What surprises awaited us around the corner? As we toured the house we were flabbergasted (I don't even know what that means but it sounds cool) with each room.  This house had little hidden tunnels connecting different rooms, a castle room with a slide and princess tower, secret passages, and the biggest home theater I've ever seen.  I mean heck we would have loved just living in one of his garages.  The pictures below show a few of our many adventures that night.

 Looks like a pantry door, right?? WRONG!

 It is a secret room that leads to a different part of the house. Food and laundry room I think?

And here is video clip of one of the secret passages in his house. So awesome.
