Gettin' hitched!

Well, it's down to about 2 weeks now! IT is CRAZY! Jay and I have decided to get married before we go back to school. It was just what felt right and everything has been falling into place perfectly! I definitely have TONS to do, but it has been great. Jay's parents and sister are coming over from Australia and New Zealand and some of his family from Alaska is going to make it too! We are so excited! We have found a itsy bitsy little "studio" for this semester that will work until we can move into married housing or someplace better! We are SO excited! We are having a reception here at the house in Blackfoot and it's going to be so fun! Things will work out great. Jay and I are so happy and I think everyone is happy for us. :) I can't wait to start this new part of life! Jay (Jaliz Scanlan) has been such a blessing in my life. He is everything I need! He is so kind and FUN and funny and caring and responsible and a good person. He has given me so much in so many ways and I am so thankful I have him in my life! We have learned to compromise and learn from each other. WE are going to have such a wonderful time going thru life together! I love you, Jay. :)

JOhnSoN JUNGLE

I've been spending some days here in Logan with Stan and Aubs and this evening we went out to a park in Wellsville. Those kids are so fun! Zack and I had a great time playing with the kids and Stan. (Aubs was busy taking care of ladies in labor at work) Gotta love them. As CRAZY as they are.. As you can see from the pics above, Stan obviously gave their kids his good looks...

Sheena

Since I've been home I've gotten to spend some time with Sheena and her darling little boy Dominik. It's so nice to catch up. It is crazy how things change! Always love to chat with her. We have so many great memories together! Love ya Sheena

RASPBERRIES!!

Since I've been home, we've been pickin' raspberries like crazy! The kids love it too!!!
Gotta love coming home to family and yummy food!!

GLUTEN FREE!!!

For our last weekend here Ki and I bought GLUTEN FREE pizza because Ki can't have wheat and she hasn't had pizza for oh, a YEAR! We were SO excited! I was SO happy that she could finally just indulge in it. There's nothing like Pizza. There is a shop near our house that makes all their pizzas with a gluten free crust for a RIDICULOUS amount more, BUT there is nothing like this in Hawaii so we had to do it! I was SO happy for Ki! Thank you Garlic Jims! We had ice cream, movies, pizza, and each other. Gotta love girls night :D

Wallace FALLS

Today was my last day off of work before I got back home, and I was able to completely enjoy my day :) I went with Jessie and some of her friends on a nice LONG hike today up to some beautiful waterfalls. We got to the top of the water fall I spent some time dipping my toes in the icy cold water and taking photos. It was GORGEOUS! The hike that Jessie told me was going to be a "nature walk" was actually over 5 miles round trip, but I'm glad I went. It was so pretty. We had a bbq tonight and had some amazing burgers and shrimp. We met alot of people tonight that I'm sad we have to leave because I think we could have been great friends :) I loved it. I'm sad to say goodbye to Seattle.

Twilight for REAL!

So the other day, we decided to do what we have wanted to do since we came to Seattle...took the ferry! We went over to Port Townsend, which is near Port Angelos which is near Forks! Since I've been here I've kind of been obsessed with Twilight! I read the books last summer, but something about being in Seattle just makes me love it even more! AND Kiley is always talking about them because she is reading them right now. But it was AWESOME! Well, we didn't get to do much because as we got to Port Townsend all the shops were closed (they close at 5:30-we got there at 5:45) but we ate at a lil restaurant which was super cute. The food was no good, and we waited for an hour for it, BUT we saw the ladies from the red hat club! So it wasn't a complete lost. :D We went to McDonalds after. The town is right on the water and it was so pretty. The ferry ride over was pretty too. It was a nice little day trip. Now I'm trying to think of what else I wanted to do before I leave....6 days.....
