Jenna and Edson

Man these two are some of my dear friends. Edson recently left on his mission to Mexico. And Jenna will follow in December (hopefully!). I seriously do hope these two end up together, they're just too cute! Aw, the life of being an MG... I just love love and all the romantic gooey-ness!! And the fact they were break dancing... on each other!
(side-note, obviously they're not engagements, but I needed the practice and they were more than willing to oblige :P Love these two.)

Letter!

I got a letter, I got a letter! I got a letter, hey, hey, hey, HEY!

Only took a month and half... and 6 being lost...

But even so. I'm happy. And content :D

Aw, I love how happy this boy can make me. 3 1/2 months until he comes home?

Oh, ok :D

Let Me Be Your Missionary...

I just died laughing. This totally made my night. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

St. George Adventures!

So, as previously mentioned, I went to St. George over the weekend... I haven't had that much fun in quite some time :) After my loverly run on Friday night in the rain, me and Sheri watched too much Harry Potter and TV shows. And read way too late :P But it was totally ok, because we had nothing planned for the next day until Tuacahn that night. So, we decided to roam the city and see what historic things we could find :)

Brigham Young's Winter Home

St. George

Flipping awesome random camera made of wrenches, knives, forks, 

screwdrivers and other random metal objects...

That night we went to Tuacahn and saw their version of Grease :D It was great!

Not to mention the beautiful scenery...

Afterwards we got Iceberg shakes :D

And then Sunday came. And we had a homecoming to attend! And it was one of the more awkward times of my life... Nothing quite like meeting your boyfriends old Mission President who just got released a week and a half before!! The Fry's are nice though, so it wasn't too bad :P

Sheri made me get in it... :P

And then, before we left, we went over to the temple one last time so I could take pictures and suchness:

All in all, t'was a great weekend :D

Rain Run

So I'm in St. George. With Doug's mom. It has been great already :) I haven't gone on a run in so long, and I thoroughly enjoyed my run to the St. George temple (well, close to it anyway :P) and back to my hotel. And the fact it was pouring just made it all the better :D

A Little Soon?

All right, so it might not be for another 4 ish months, but I can't help it. It's my nature. And I might just be a little excited for the whole thing in general... Oh right. What thing? Well...

I'm pretty sure I found a photographer that I would die to have take my engagement and bridal photos...

Being into artistic photography and doing weddings and other suchness for people kinda makes me a photography freak. I stalk blogs rather frequently. I look at new ideas from wedding and engagement photographers frequently. I look at the colors, the design, the angle... and I critique them all. I've found lately that I'm pretty picky when it comes to photographers. Even if you can edit things well, that's just not enough for me. You have to be able to be unique, and have some sort of artistic twist in how you do things in order for me to be drawn to you. And here is the woman I so hope I can get:

Yeah.

Needless to say, I am in love with her work. And gratefully, she doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some other photographers I know... sheesh!

It may be a little soon, but dang am I excited! 

Past

"If Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future..."

"You are not my judge in Israel, so it doesn't matter what you think." 

So true these statements are. The power in remembering that no matter what, we, having bodies, are more powerful than Lucifer himself is always an encouraging thought. And frankly, it's a nice reminder also that Satan (and just about everyone who thinks that they truly should have a say in your life when really they shouldn't) isn't the one that is going to be judging my works here on the earth. I will be whom I will be and shall be judged not only by my actions, but by the sincere desires of my heart. And gratefully, it's no human being or evil spirit that will be doing that judging.

I really am excited for the eternities to come...
