So I must thank you all for helping me out in my quest to meet John Paul, etc. The contest is ended and of course I have no clue who has won or anything!
My parents came up October 10-12. It was so much fun to have them up here. Friday night we went out to dinner and visited. Saturday morning we went to the Rexburg Temple. That was the first time Vance and I had gone through for a session and it was so neat to share that with my parents. Afterwards we went down the hill so I could show off the amazing school that I go to. Later that day I treated mom to a pedicure and I got my hair colored for a fashion show that evening. I then ran mom home where we ate some dinner and then I was off to school to get my model and myself ready for the fashion show! It was so neat to see everything come together. And more importantly it made me feel so great to share this with not only my parents but Vance, Devin, Andrea, and Grandma Bowman. I was a little bummed out that I couldn't sit next to Dad though! The looks on his face were priceless. Andrea was lucky enough to sit next to him and said that it was funny listening to his reactions. All in all it was a great night. The room was packed and it was just awesome! Mom and Dad left Sunday afternoon and so we were put back into normal life again!
Monday the 13th was our 2 year anniversary! The first part of the day Vance spent at school. He came home around 4pm and we were off. He blindfolded me and drove around town in circles. We finally ended up at the AmericInn. He got the most amazing room ever! We went out to eat at a Thai restaurant (it is so good) and then just spent time together the rest of the night. It was so simple but so great! I love you Vance!!!
So the end is in sight now! School will be over and done for the both of us in December. Vance has applied to a lot of different companies. He has interviewed with two in Texas and has another interview this week for a position in New York! As of now we have no clue where we will end up. Our new adventure will soon begin and I can not wait.
Heavenly Father has blessed us this past year so abundantly. I am so grateful for the love and support of family and friends. I know that I wouldn't be this happy without your love. I have to get going now but I will try to be better at updating!

Picture Update

This is twice in once night but I am on a role. When my best friend was coming out of the temple I had my camera ready to take pictures. After a few shots my camera beeped at me. My memory card was full. Later on I went through my pictures and discovered that I had pictures on my camera from ALMOST two years ago! So here are some pictures of last summer up until a couple of weeks ago!

All right! So much has happened these past three weeks! But in order for me to blog more often each event has to be strategically blogged.

So my first big thing that I did was go to Arizona. I was there for about 5 days and I welcomed the warmth with open arms....but would I ever live there??? I got to spend time with my amazing family.

Thursday I saw my first ultrasound ever and it was the most amazing thing. My face was pretty much right up next to the monitor.
Friday was the big day, the reason I was there. My best friend Marissa got married to her sweetheart. She has been my best friend since 7th grade and she has become part of the family.

Saturday Adrienne had her first piano recital for her students. They all did really well and you could tell by her students performances that she is an amazing teacher. Later on that afternoon the kids went swimming in an ice cold pool as a just soaked up the sun and watched them.
Sunday Von and Lindsey were finishing up their packing for their move to Ohio. We all loaded in the car to go and help them.
Monday I flew back to Salt Lake City. From there I loaded onto a bus to Rexburg. That was the worst part of my trip. The bus was late and there was no air conditioning.

The trip was amazing. I managed to eat In-N-Out 3 times and called Vance on all of those occasions to gloat. And it was great to see family and old friends.

I know that I am loved

I had such a great birthday yesterday. I went into school to get my hair cut and when I walked in I had friends run up and give me big birthday hugs. Yesterday there was a big hair competition in Pocatello. My friend Amy entered to compete so I stayed at school when my hair was done and helped her out. It was actually really fun and exciting. It helped me to step out of my box and be more creative. Once we were done my friend Regina took me down to Idaho Falls and Vance picked me up. We spent part of our time looking around downtown Idaho Falls and then went and got dinner. When we got home Devin and Andrea were waiting for us and they had a birthday treat, lemon bars! It was low key but really fun.
My phone rang a lot yesterday. I got such wonderful calls from my family. I even had a conversation with my neice Emma, and I loved it. If you know Emma that is a really big deal. I got text messages from friends.and family. I am surrounded by such loving people, and I feel so lucky. Thanks for making it such a great day!!
