A 5 year chapter ends as a new one begins

My career as a Team Gymnastics Coach came to an end this season! With a HUGE BANG!!! My level 4's PLACED! Not that I didn't believe they could do it, but we were up against 10 teams 2 of which were the top teams in the state. They pulled it off and I was so proud, couldn't think of a better way to end it. Although I will miss my girls greatly I will enjoy having normal working hours and having weekends to spend with Kyle. I love coaching. It's more of a hobby than a job though. My girls from Barefoot threw me an amazing going away party! I even got a gymnastics cake! So many fun memories. I will never forget my lil twinkies!

A ten hour drive worth a 2 hour memory

My brudder isn't so little anymore.

It had been decided that I was not going to be able to make Ryk's graduation, due to a new job and coaching I could't take off two days of work. His graduation was Thurs, May 27th. On my way to work on Thurs morning I started to think about all of his BIG moments that I had missed. Then I had a revelation! They cancelled gym that night for graduation... I could make it! His started at 7 pm and I got off from SUEC at 3. Oh baby, I was going and he was going to be surprised. After Kyle gave me the guilty treatment and after listening to my mom worry about everything I hopped in the car and I drove.... I drove and I drove. I kept thinking about how the moment would be when Ryk saw me and I saw him. I got there at 7:08 shhhhh don't tell highway patrol. I was able to see him lining up outside the auditorium. He came outside and I started to cry. He teared up (that is a secret though) and he said I didnt think you were going to make it. I DON'T CRY if front of family so it was a bit of a shock for him to see me in tears. Anyway I gave him a BIG HUG! The ceremony was surprisingly up beat and had character. SHort and sweet! I got some pics with him and I was back on the road. EPIC!

Kyle's baby sis gets married

So May 8th Kyle's sister, Meg, got married. It was quite the day. I had a competition as well so I packed everything together makin it a very stressful Saturday. I was in charge of making some signs for the wedding. I told Kyle, before we left.... DO NOT FORGET THE SIGNS! We are almost to the temple and I noticed NO SIGNS. So we turn around, keep in mind we were already a few minutes late. We go up the hill and down the hill on our way back to Ivins and Kyle's truck runs out of gas. We are stranded. Kyle runs to the gas station buys a gas can and fills it. By that time we were 10 min late and the temple was 10 min away. Once the truck started we decided the signs were not as important as us being there. By the time we got there, the whole family was waiting and Meg and Bob had already came out. Splendid, we missed the exit moment. But we were there. Better late than never. That's my philosophy now being married to Kyle. I plan to be late so then I can never be dissappointed, and if we happen to be on time then I'm surprised! It's easier that way. Anyway, the wedding was beautiful and Meg looked like an angel.

Almost 2 YEARS!!!!!!!!

Crazy to think that Kyle and I met for the first time almost two years ago. Ha ha! Can't believe how the time flies. Being married sure is an adventure. Ya never know what might present itself. Livin' day by day! I have decided to finish my associate degree at Dixie, and possible become a PTA. As long as the government is paying for it IT'S ALL GOOD! I'm falling more and more in love with St. George but I still miss my friends and family. Sometimes I think moving to a half way point between my fam and Kyle's fam would be nice. I don't think he really can understand how I feel because he has always been just a few miles away from home. Maybe, once we start a family I won't be as sad, but that won't be for awhile! Time will tell.

VEGAS!
