We're gonna party like it's um..2008
Steven's cousin Brittany is getting MARRIED on Saturday!!! I cannot believe that this girl is even old enough to get married. I remember her when she was about six years old shopping for tights at ZCMI with her Mom. She has grown to be a beautiful woman, and yes, is old enough to get married!
Aunt Bonnie and Brittany don't do anything standard. They are throwing a huge bash for Brittany on Saturday night!! I can't wait to go!!
Last night was the wedding dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was beautiful! And the food was, well...I ate a lot...the pictures show that!!
We shouldn't have been allowed to...but we got to sit with Frank and Kayla! They are so much fun! Thanks for letting us sit by you...next time we won't let Frank and Steven sit by eachother! Love you, guys!!!
I felt so honored once again, to be apart of Steven's family. What good people they are...and they have taught me to be a better person. I am so glad that I was invited to the dinner..what a good time! My Grandma Dillon took the kids for us, and so we were kidless which was AWESOME for a night! We picked up Steve's sister Heidi, and she went with us! She's such a good Mom, and a wonderful friend!! Love you, Heid!!
Ok...I'll stop rambling...here's some pictures!!!
THANKS Nana for watching all those crazy kids!!
Amy!!! What a doll!
Me and Heidi!!! Love that girl!
Bonnie and Lynette!!
Me and Aunt Deb..love you the most!
Here comes the BRIDE! Isn't she gorgeous??
Kayla and Me!
Amy, Brittany, Kayla and me.
Me and Steven being silly...
More kissy faces for the blog...as if we don't have enough...
Me and my Sweetheart!! Love you, Pete!!

Tuesday Tell All
This month's Tuesday Tell All is about the five senses...and today's is SIGHT.
One of the most beautiful sights i've ever seen was at Palisades reservoir with Steven's family. We drove over the dam and looked out to the north and there was a beautiful rainbow surrounded by water, green mountains, and a beautiful blue sky.
Steven and I were in different cars, but said the same thing..."I'm coming here for my honeymoon..."
It was so fun to be with Steve's family and I still can't thank them enough for allowing me to intrude on their family vacations. Especially since I ended up stealing their son! I couldn't help it, he was too cute!!!

100th POST...
I can't believe it! It's my 100th post! Ok..so in keeping with tradition, here's my 100 things about me...
1. I was born July 30th, 1980
2. I ruined my parents plans for just a boy and a girl. I was their 2nd daughter. OOOPS!
3. I grew up in Syracuse, UT
4. We moved there when I was in 1st grade.
5. I was more excited about the cows in the field than the new house.
6. Every year for Halloween, I was a cowgirl.
7. I had a stickhorse named Black Beauty.
8. My FIL used to drive his police car around the neighborhood and laugh at me on said stickhorse.
9. One of my first 'real' horseback rides was on a horse named Jimbo who my FIL still has.
10. Steven's little sister Heidi was my good friend in Elementary school.
11. We used to have sleep overs where I would drool over her older brother...
12. Steven used to take our toys and especially Heidi's bike so we couldn't go ride.
13. Heidi and I used to always go to the movie store and rent 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken'.
14. One time I fell asleep in her banana chair and couldn't use my legs for an hour when I woke up.
15. I secretly (ok not so secretly) wanted to be apart of the Steven's family.
16. I used to have to bring Steve's Dad a bowl of cereal at night because 'his leg was sore' or some other lie he would make up to get me to do it.
17. When Steve's family moved to So Utah, I used to go visit for weeks at a time.
18. I've been going on vacation with his family for as long as I can remember.
19. I used to bring a friend or family member with me to visit so they could get my FIL his cereal at night.
20. Heidi and I were baptized on the same day in the same building.
21. Half the chapel was there for Heidi. That was the first time I saw Steve's Dad.
22. One of the best things about Steve's family was that you could have AS MUCH MILK as you wanted!!!
23. I love milk.
24. My Dad used to fix our bike tired at least once a week.
25. I think I was afraid of my Dad til I was about 5 years old. HAHA
26. My siblings were my best friends growing up.
27. I shared a room with my sister Traci for years.
28. I was mean to her.
29. I used to tell her we were playing Indians and Cowboys and she was the Indian, so she had to sleep on the tiled floor.
30. We used to make her take our punishments for us so we could go play.
31. The last time we did that it was because Traci had a black and blue bum...sad.
32. Traci and I go to every Matchbox concert or Rob Thomas concert together.
33. I had a dog named Sam.
