Graduation!!!

Well, it's finally here. Graduation. Four years and a ton of amazing memories. I really can't believe how much Brian and I have accomplished. A few bullets: I graduated highschool, was able to perform in Acclamation and learn how to dance, I competed and placed in the Miss SUU pageant, I met amazing friends and loved my roomates, found Brian somewhere along the way and got married in the temple. Brian graduated high school, played baseball at SUU for a season, went to New Zealand on his mission, married me and now, we're both graduating with our Bachelor's degrees. I remember being asked in high school where I wanted to be in five years... well, it seems that we're just going down that list I had for myself and checking it all off! Moving from Cedar City is going to be so sad! I'm going to miss Necia! Whenever you lay out just think of me okay? Ha-ha we're big huge dorks! Cedar has been our home for the last four years, it's weird leaving it. But where one door closes another one opens and like Rascal Flatts says, if that other door doesn't open, you keep searching for that window. Well, Brian and I will be searching for that window and we're really excited for what's to come.

Moving out. We had my dad's truck and trailor and Brian's Dad's truck and trailor and we barely made it! We owe everything we have to our parents, without them we wouldn't have been able to do any of this.

We went to Chili's the night before graduation and had to wait three hours! ha ha it was awful! They didn't have a table big enough for everyone so we had to split up to an adult table and a kids table. Brian and I were on the kids table with Trevor, Zach and Hayley! We all ordered Rib Eye Steak and it was disgusting. It looked like dog! The waitress felt so bad she gave everyone a free desert! Stupid Chili's!!

And here it is, what we've been working towards since highschool.

President Monson spoke at the ceremony and it was awesome! Necia and Brian and I got to sit next to each other during it and Necia and I were happy because we got to chat and Brian was happy because he got to have peace and quiet! Oh Brian, aren't you going to miss Necia!?


None of this would be possible without our family. We love you all so much. And thanks for making all of this happen, it's been a wonderful blessing.

EASTER!!!

Easter at the Prows House is always crazy! We dyed easter eggs, went on an easter egg hunt with the little kids, ate lots of candy, had an arm wrestle tournament, which John won because he has ridiculous forearms, ate dinner and sang happy birthday to Brian, my Dad and John. We ate better than sex cake and it was delicious! The night ended with Billy scaring the crap out of everyone which is demonstrated in the video!

Finally getting around to Spring Break!

I finally have some time to catch up so here goes!

March 17 - March 21, 2009

My Mom and Dad and my sisters Hayley and Mel were planning a trip to go visit my brother Ryan and his family in California over spring break. I wasn't going with them because I had too much homework and projects to finish before graduation. A few days before they were leaving Mel found out that her little family was being uprooted to Oklahoma and I figured this would be the last sister trip we'd have in a long time. So, I threw school out the window and joined them on this crazy road trip!

I felt bad leaving Brian behind but the distance surely made the heart grow fonder! We left on my birthday and made it safe to California. I'm pretty sure my family is cursed with bad luck because no matter how hard we try things never go as planned. We got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and my dad ended up needing to replace all four tires at an over priced gas station. My parents are on a budget, ha ha weird, I know, and they were trying to cut down on costs by staying with my brother and his family in their two bedroom apartment instead of getting a hotel. Well, that didn't work out too great because we spent $1500 on new tires! We could have stayed at the Ritz for a whole week!!!

In three days we did so much! My brother is getting is MBA at Standford and the campus is amazing!






















Christina and I went jogging around the campus one morning and it was so beautiful! The air is so much easier to breathe it was amazing how far we could go! The athletic wing of campus is to die for. There are huge pools, gyms, tracks, courses, fields, and trails. It's awesome! I'm totally jealous we're not at Standford!

While we were visiting, we went to Montara Beach. It's this little secluded area most tourists don't know about. The air and water was freezing so we didn't get in but we played on the sand for hours. Mel and I threw the football back and forth and we wouldn't let Hayley play with us cause she sucks at throwing! ha ha it's so funny! We raced up and down the beach, ate lunch and just had a really great time.











The next stop on the trip was San Francisco and Pier 39. The last time we were all here was the summer of 2006 to visit Candice Newell, the birth mother of little Greyson. It was really great to be here again and it brought back a ton of old memories. We first stopped off at the famous Wipe Out To Go van, went through Lefty's Rule and finished the trip at Bubba Gumps. We were also able to visit China Town, and walk around the city which was fun.
