Spring has brought me such a nice surprise!


So, as you all may very well know... Utah has had the absolute most depressing weather during Spring months. And if you ask me, it had no business dishing out such miserable conditions. I would normally decide to be angry and hold a grudge, but after a day like today, its hard to be mad at all. Basically I've had an ideal week. I *hopefully* coordinated my last Ward Home Evening on Monday. It was a huge success. I separated the kiddos into 3 groups and had them make newspaper floats for a mini FHE parade. The winners received cinnamon rolls... and the losers got homemade oreos and rock-hard snicker doodles.

Exibit A: The treats

This group decided to duplicate prom night... which always ends with your date kneeling down, and proposing?

Its Tony Stark... in his infamous IronMan suit, with flames bursting out of his backside.

My first guess: Trojan Horse.
(In all actuality, they were aiming for a Swan... almost?)

I have an insane gauntlet of classes this Spring and spend 10 hours in classes and labs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So on the other days of the week when I only have morning class, I try to do things that make me happy. Today.. today I got to spoil myself. I went to the temple, and got baptized by a sweet old man with thick tortoise shell glasses. Then I went to the gym and climbed some stairs. Came home, went for a bike ride with Annie and Kathleen... and rang my sweet new bike-bell about a thousand times. After THAT Kath and I ran some errands, and I got the ingredients necessary to finish a few projects I have been brewing in my brain. My scheming has been mainly been targeted towards our front porch. Hope you enjoy these creations half as much as I enjoyed putting them together. Grand total for all these projects?

    So I admit when we were there last week and walked past your porch and thought..."Katy needs to put her touch to this thing". I hope you got rid of that old dusty fake vague resemblance of a palm tree plant and the string of lights (I notice everything). So not to give anyone any ideas but are those hanging chandeliers and bird house going to get...stolen? I know you are in Provo but...
    Love you

As a little girl you imagine your future with Prince Charming but can’t grasp the specifics of when, where, and how. Well this is the when, where, and how my happily ever after begins: I was walking on the backstreets of Beijing with my little sister Annie, our friend Christian Richter, and our personal tour guide Shannon. We had just gotten done riding tandem bikes through the Hutong and were walking through some alleyways filled with teenagers and vendors selling stinky tofu on sticks. I cleared a corner and saw him. He was tall, handsome, and best of all… AMERICAN. We talked all evening about Chinese corn flavored popsicles, communism, and how he is NOT related to President Thomas S … we went our separate ways, me with his business card, and him only with my name. I spent the remainder of my time in China smiling and recalling the encounter- and came home to a Facebook message from him. We proceeded to Skype for hours at a time about once a week, making ...

I can still feel the memory almost as vividly as the moment I was experiencing it. I was dressed in white, walking into one of the most beautiful rooms of the Temple, and as I passed the threshold of the room, I crossed a tangible barrier of love. Tears flooded my eyes and I was overwhelmed at the support and excitement I felt from everyone in that room. Then I looked up at Dave’s face and was in awe that I had finally arrived. Arrived to the place where I could truly love with my whole heart and trust without abandon; all with the support of God, my family, dearest friends, and this Man. The following hours and days passed with a fury of twinkling lights, photographers, music, and happiness. Pure happiness. I finally had what my heart had always wanted, a Husband to call my own, and a love that rivaled all the rest. Settling into our small apartment was just about as exciting as the wedding festivities themselves. We had been planning...
