Congratulations Mr Thomas and Serena Miller!

This is a picture of my beautiful friend, Serena, who just married Tom yesterday! This is one of their engagement photos.




I had the privilege of being one of her bridesmaids yesterday, along with Shannon and 10 other girls! It was a lot of fun! They were married yesterday at the Mt Timpanogos temple at noon. I went a little early and sat in the waiting room, watching all the brides come out and be greeted by their families! It was very neat! I had just worked a graveyard shift the night before, slept for about 2.5 hours, then went to the temple. So, me already being an emotional person, lacking on sleep just added to the emotions to say the least! Haha. While I was watching the brides and waiting for Serena, I was thinking how wonderful it would be to have my endowments out and to be sealed for ETERNITY! :) I am so excited for that day! I can wait though! Haha.
When Serena and Tom came out, they looked so incredably happy! We cheered for them! Serena was so cute, she raised her arms and shouted, "We're Married!" and Tom, excitingly responded, clenching his fists, yelled, "Yeah!" Haha! That was funny! We all hugged her and said how happy we were for them. Serena looked absolutely beautiful!
Shann and I had fun being in all the fun pictures! Thanks Serena! They had a great photographer! I am considering using her for my photos, but that's not anytime soon.
I think she's like the happiest couple I've seen together since my siblings have been married! They seem so perfect for each other!
Seeing how happy they are made me think, I need to be that happy and in love when I am married! I cannot settle for anything less! Before they got married, I could tell how ready Serena was, I could see how the spirit had helped her and how she KNEW that it was right, without a doubt! I definitely want to be that way! I want to live my life with no regrets!
I find myself planning my whole future out, exactly how i want it. But I just decided, as long as I stick to my goals, pray, and keep the commandments, the Lord will guide me to make the right decisions and to not be so guarded or stubborn. I believe in the power of prayer! It really works! I am so grateful to live in such a wonderful environment with amazing family and friends that are an excellent example to me. I am so grateful for the gospel! I am so grateful for everything that I have! Thank you everyone!
Once again, Congrats Serena and Tom! You're going to make beautiful children someday! :) You're sealed for ETERNITY! Yahoo! I love you!

This Is Shannon and I saying, "They're Married, and they're coming out!"

Good luck Elder Hoglund!

My good friend, Ben Hoglund will be leaving for his mission tomorrow to serve the people in Argentina! I am so excited and happy for him! He gave an excellent talk on Sunday! He is a great example to me! He's always been very supportive and comforting! Thank you so much Ben! I am going to miss you! You're going to be a fabulous Missionary!

John's Graduation!

Wow! Words cannot express how proud I am of my brother! Last weekend, my family and I went down to Cedar City to see John graduate with his Bachelors in Science Nursing from SUU! He did it! He was even asked to speak at his graduation! THey asked him to speak about the "funny stuff" that happened while going to school with all the other students. Since John is funny, they definitely picked the right person! :) Haha. He's hilarious!

In the second graduation session, Pres. Monson spoke! I was extremely excited! Of course, he did an excellent job!

It was so warm there! I had a blast playing with my spoiled niece, haha well not that spoiled! She's so funny! She would not let go of my mom, her grandma, the entire vacation. Then, when my mom left and I stayed an extra day, she was so clingy to me! It was so cute!

Guess what! My swimming has been getting better! I love it! I love swimming and I love the fact that my knee does not hurt when I swim! Yay! I am so extremely glad! :) I'm going to stick to it!

Well I was planning on going to Goblin Valley today with my single's ward, but i can't find any girls that I know that will go with me. THey're all busy. Ben's going and I would love to hang out with him too, i just need a girl there as well, to share a tent with you know! SO anyone reading this, would you like to go with me?!!!! We'd be leaving at 4pm so please let me know asap!!! I really would love to go!!
