Anita and Brian's Wedding

Anita and Brian were married this past Saturday (the 22nd) in the Mount Timpanogas temple. Both of their families were able to come out from GA and CA. They are, for the most part, not members of the LDS religion. It was so fun to meet them all. Brian is awesome! Anita looked beautiful and so happy.

It was fun to go to a sealing right around our first anniversary. It brought back a lot of the same feelings I had last year during our wedding and reception. I feel like Bryan and I have come so far and know so much more about each other than we did on our wedding day! Life just keeps getting better.

We are so happy for Brian and Anita McDonald!! Here are some highlights:

Almost There...

Seven tests, eight papers, five novels, two plays, four major projects, various other chapter readings, and homework assignments due daily. This has been my life the last seven weeks or so. I feel some times like this:

And this:

Finals are next Friday. I have two papers, two major projects and two tests coming up in the next two weeks. Summer semesters are brutal, I've discovered. They don't count the fact that it is 90 degrees, sunny, and beautiful all the time. They don't seem to think that we want to do anything else but study all day every day, and especially on the weekends. It hasn't helped that Bryan and I still want to enjoy our summer and visit family so I've had to take my homework down to Price, New Mexico, and California on our vacations. Some how I've survived. This is the first semester I really feel like I've been barely keeping my head above water.

Four more class periods and one day of finals. I'm almost there!
