MY SISTER IS ENGAGED!!!!!!!

I am SO SO EXCITED FOR MY SIS EMILY!!! For those of you that don't know she has been dating Josh Piper for a little over 4 months now and they are getting married! Look at some pics of us celebrating as sisters and also her GORGEOUS ring!!!



Here are some pics of her and Josh. This is at a 1930's dress up concert they went to. They are so cute together and he loves her so much and she loves him and they really bring out the best in each other.

He took her out on saturday night to The Mandarin restaurant in Bountiful and then he took her to the Bountiful temple and proposed. When she called me she said "Josh got down on his hands and knees...oh wait I mean he just got on his knee!" They were both laughing so hard. Some dog on his hands and knees! ha ha

So you'll never believe this...THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED IN NEW ZEALAND ON THE BEACH. My parents are there for 6 months and so they're going down there and also they planned it when Rob and I will be there too! So pretty!

Congratulations Emily and Josh!!

I DID IT!!! ...but I didn't scream Toyota


This is how I feel after finishing the 30 day challenge at Bikram yoga! Yahoo. I finished wed and haven't gone back since:) ha ha. I will go back but for now I'm relaxing and thinking what my next challenge will be..and no it's not going to be becoming vegan:)

It was the best because that night I got to go out with Lane ( my other loyal friend to yoga) and Andrea (living in Iowa while husband is in med school). I cheered at Utah State with both of them and love them to death!! We had soo much fun laughing and picking up right where we left off.




I loved it. Lane gave me a congratulations card full of quotes from the yoga class. "Find comfort within the discomfort, lock your knee, torture chamber, japanese ham sandwich, pulling is the object of stretching." If you don't know they say basically the same things in each class. So funny but unless you have been to it you might not be laughing if you have...I know you are!!
