Missao Brasil Ribeirao Preto

For months Casey has been raising money and planning for his Mission President and his wife to come into town from Brasil. It took him a lot of hours to organize everything, but it was worth it. We went to Tucanos, up to Morris and Christi's farm to help with the cattle, up to my parents for dinner, did a session in the Salt Lake Temple, watched the new Joseph Smith movie (which was amazing), and brought everyone together for the reunion. It was really fun to have President and Sister Simplicio come and to see most of the missionaries that Casey served with all together.

BYU vs. Tulsa

At our first home game BYU won 49-24 and we ended up putting in our second string. The funnest part was the rain. It started sprinkling about the 4th quarter and then with 6 min left, they delayed the game because of lightning. We toughed it out for an hour and then the cougars came out and finished off the game. Jason and Melody also came into town, so we got to see them and their adorable son Dallin. What a day, a perfectly wonderful day.

Two Year Anniversary

For our one year anniversary Casey took me up to a hotel in Snowbird for a night, where we had breakfast and then spent the day on the Alpine Slide, a zipline, and one of those trampolines where they hook you up to bungee cords. For our two year anniversary Casey took me to Portland City Grill in downtown Portland. It was really sweet since it is the restaurant that we went to the night that he proposed. Dinner was delicious and we had a wonderful time. We can't believe time has flown by so quickly.

Hit it!

My dad got a boat for his birthday this last summer, and they were nice enough to take us out a few times before the water got too cold. It's been a while since either one of us has been on waterskiing, but we still got it : )

Congrats to Me : )

Well, I'm finally graduated. It is so nice to be done. I am so lucky that I was able to go to BYU and graduate from there as well. It was so nice to have my family there to support me as I finished another huge step of my life. Thanks to all those that could make it : )
