Waaaahhhoooooo!

many things are bringing me excitement right now.
1. i am so lucky. one year ago he became mine forever!



on may 1st, we celebrated 365 days! we had a fun anniversary. we spent the weekend in park city, and no we didn't contract the swine flu. caleb bought me my first "teaching outfit" and a beautiful ring, and i bought him new b-ball shoes and some much needed clothes. we spent a few hours in a jacuzzi under the stars talking about the past, present and future. and little did i know, cindy, my mother-in-law, has had our wedding cake in her freezer for the past year. she got it out and caleb and i shared a bite. it was fun and brought back so many great memories from our special day.
2. i finished school! i didn't walk but am planning to do so a year from now. i know many of you are wondering why i didn't walk so here's the deal... all of my girlfriends who were in the program with me, who are now my close friends, aren't done until a year from now and i would love to celebrate with them next year. and two, the scholarship i was awarded after high school is good for four years, thus i can go to school one more year for free. if i would've walked and received my piece of paper which declares me a college grad, my scholarship would end. and the more schooling/credit hours i get beyond my bachelor's degree, the more money i am guaranteed as a teacher. every penny counts. so i signed up for some fun and EASY night classes for the fall, 1- piano (i'm so excited to start playing again especially since mom and dad bought me a nice keyboard for christmas), 2- aerobics (for those who haven't heard, i'm now teaching aerobics and health next year, and i've never taken an aerobics class before so it will help me teach the class. and as a side note, the principal at DMS originally wanted me to teach DANCE aerobics. ha, i bet most of you are laughing right now including me. we settled on the class, minus the dance part. maybe i'll let my students play dance dance revolution for class somedays.), 3- chemistry! i want to finish my chemistry endorsement just to have a guaranteed job for the future.
3. the woman of steel triathlon, which is just 11 days away.
4. the 4th of july, my favorite holiday.
5. many long bike rides and runs this summer with my man.
life is good. we are happy and sooooo in love.

Lala I am so proud of you and Caleb. You guys are awesome. I was wondering what you were doing for graduation. Now I know. Can't wait for the tri. It's gonna be so much fun.

Sounds like things are good with you guys. I love Park City and the outlets, you know I love a good deal. I am excited for you guys and the triathalon, thanks for asking me to do it with you, oh wait you didn't. I am just kidding, but really I was thinking that I could have come out to do it with you, maybe the Ogden one in September? Anyway, miss you guys and glad to hear you had a good anniversary.

What a great update. It has been a wonderful year. First of all, the wedding was one of the most beautiful ever. Second, I think it is very wise of you to continue taking class, especially since they are FREE. You will never regret getting more education. Third, you and Caleb are perfect together. He has proven to be kind, gentle, funny, romantic, dedicated and loving. You are creating a wonderful life for you and your children. Heavenly Father loves both of you and your dad and I are proud of both of you.
