A Few Things

* First, I danced in a studio tonight for the first time in nearly 3 years. It was delightful and felt oh-so-good. K and I went to the ISU gym tonight, where I ran and he played tennis with some friends. After I was finished running, I was waiting for Kyle when I had the idea to see if there was an empty dance studio. There was, and so I danced. 

*Second, I'm real excited for the weekend. And also for Thanksgiving.

*Third, look at these great pictures from Collin's wedding that I got from Nae! Oh I love her and Ayisha.

I have a few blog posts in the works (or at least, in my head!) so look forward to those... Sometime.

Utah Weekend #2

Yes, we went to Utah again this past weekend -and we loved it! 

The sad thing is, I remembered our camera, but not the SD card? I was trying to be so good about taking pictures! Especially since it was one of BFF's from high school's receptions, so practically our entire group of friends was there. Oh well - it was so much fun to catch up with everyone.

We did take a group picture on Whit's phone - so here it is in all it's glory.

Back: Kyle, Aaron, Jake, Jessica (Caleb's wife), and Caleb
Middle: Bronson (Whit's husband), Whit, me, Casey, Ayisha, Nancy (plus baby!) and Luke
Front: Katie and Missy
(Janae, her husband Cory, and baby Kynzlie were also there earlier.)

We all look possessed, but it's still kind of great.

Anyway, so Collin is married. (I haven't even mentioned whose reception it was yet, have I?) Yes, Collin and the adorable Alicia. I don't know her very well, but I like her - and I'm excited to get to know her better! They seem great together. And it was so great to see Collin. I'm kind of bummed I didn't get a picture of me, Collin and Aaron together. We were the three amigos in high school/freshman year of college (plus Caleb, when he was in town). Always together doing who knows what! They were the two best friends I could have asked for, and they got me through some rough spots during junior and senior years, and freshman year, too. 

Love them. And here is a visual of Collin. This was at his farewell.

So back to the weekend. The reception was great. Then we went to my mom's and had a sleepover :) Chari loves it when we do that. We slept in a little bit, ate some delicious breakfast, and spent time together. Later that afternoon, after a yummy lunch of rice and curry, we drove up to Nathan and Melanie's. Kyle's dad was in town, so we had a family dinner together. Jess and Alan came over as well, so we had a great time. After we put the kiddos to bed, we watched Atlas Shrugged: Part 1. As you probably know, Atlas Shrugged is one of my favorite books, and I have been looking forward to watching the movie. I really enjoyed, and recommend it! We slept over there that night, and then drove home in the morning in order to go to our own ward for church!

So that was our weekend - and it was a great one!
But we are excited to stay at home this weekend in our little home and get things plus. Plus, we'll be back in less than two weeks for Thanksgiving!

Sicky

Being sick is awful.

I haven't been this sick in a long time. Well, now I am feeling much better, but yesterday, and earlier today? Not so much. Think sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, and a head that feels like it's going to explode because of sinus pressure. Not so fun. 

Luckily... I think I'm on the mend. And my sweet Kyle has been great.

Also... Something exciting may be in the works.

Nothing concrete for now, but I'll let you know.

(And no, it does not involve a baby, just fyi.)

Our Utah Weekend

We spent the weekend down in Utah, and had a great time! The main reason we went down was because our friend's Tyler and Alishia were getting married! Tyler and Kyle were roommates in summer 2008 at the Riv, then Tyler moved to VP, which is where Kyle ended up moving a year later, so they were in the same ward together again. I of course met Tyler through Kyle. Tyler and Alishia met in their ward at VP, and are perfect for each other! We've become really good friends with them and were so happy to share their special day. 

But first things first,  we drove down to Nate and Mel's Friday night. My Friday afternoon client ended up cancelling so we were able to leave earlier than we expected, so that was nice. We got to Nate and Mel's played with the kids for a while, and then all went to bed. We got up early the next morning, got ready, and drove down to the Mt Timpanogos temple. We were able to go to their sealing (which was performed by her grandpa, so sweet), and then to a delicious luncheon (roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, bread, lemonade, and chocolate cake!). Both of their dad's gave great little speeches, as did the bride and groom.

After the luncheon, we drove down to BYU where we were able to meet up with my mom and see Charity, who was participating in the diCi Day of Dance at BYU. We went to her little performance, and it was really fun.

After that was over we went to Missy's, where Ayisha was painting her room since she is moving in! We got to spend time with Miss, Ish, and then Katie came over too. (Poor Kyle was a great sport!) 

Then, we headed to Tyler and Alishia's reception, which was in the Skyroom in the Wilk.

We saw lots of friends there, our former bishop, my cousin Bri, and had a great time eating crepes and drinking hot chocolate. Mmmm, mmm. 

After the reception we went to Jill and Garyn's (the couple in the above picture, some of our best friends!) where we ate some pizza and just chatted.

And then we drove back up to Nate and Mel's, busy day!

Sunday we spent time with the family, and went to church together.

After church, we went over to Melanie's parents house, ate dinner, and then K and I took off for home.

We had a busy, busy weekend, but we loved.

I, however, and now sick :( I started feeling sick last night, and stayed home this morning with a terrible sore throat, headache and congestion. Hopefully I can start feeling better! 

I Love Fall
