Goofing Around with Billy in the Car

So Billy and I always randomly take pictures while driving in the car. We look pretty silly most of the time.

Edna (Sister Trevizo) Came to Visit

So we were busy getting our house presentable for my old companion, Sister Trevizo to come visit. She was coming for the mission reunion conference weekend. We had so much fun reminiscing and catching up. It was funny, because her and Billy and I served around each other when we were companions. We got to go to two sessions of conference together and walk around Temple Square. We rode the trax, and felt like missionaries sitting there in our skirts and ready to go listen to the prophet :). We were sad to see her go, but hopefully we'll be able to spend time together again. Oh and funny story, when we went to pick her up at the airport, she never told me what airline just the time and flight number. So we were waiting in the Delta area and saw like 3 misssionaries coming home from foreign places, it was hilarious when we finally found her. Good times.

Lilly Over for Dinner

So Lilly likes to come over and hang with Billy and I. One time I told her I was making tin foil dinners for dinner, and she was like okay. She ended up liking it so much that everytime she comes over now for dinner, she asks if we can make those. So I let her help me. It was fun. It's cute to have someone to look up to me, since she doesn't have her own sister :)

The Dreaded Hair Coloring Experience!

I look happy :)

So Torri had this roommate, Kristina, who had been dying her hair. Torri's hair always looked great and I really liked it. Since I now live in Utah and barely get time to go home let alone make an appointment with Cami for a change, I decided to let Kristina have a go at dying my hair. Unfortunately it turned out mighty red, and any who know me, know that I hate red hair for myself. The night before I allowed Kristina to do this, I had told Billy how much I do not like Red hair for me. So needless to say I hated it, and so I ended up buying a box dye at Wallys and had Torri dye it for me, to try and get it back to the "normal" color. I'm still having problems with it, but ya know live and learn right?

Visiting My Sister's at Temple Square

Ashlynn didn't want to smile, but we're still cute :)

Peanut and Ashlynn came down with the Young Women to go to Temple Square and do the whole Visitor Center thing. So Torri and I met them there at the Beehive house and we hung out for a bit with the other Young Women. I was so excited to see them, because I hadn't seen them for awhile. We had fun, even though we had to walk forever from where we parked; hoping that we wouldn't have a ticket when we got back.

The Happenings! April 1, 2009

Life seems to be super busy for us lately. I finally got a job. I started about three weeks ago, with all of my training, and I had my first student this past Tuesday. I was nervous, but I loved it, and I know that I will enjoy it the more I continue to do it. Billy finally finished up this quarter at school, and so he's been able to spend more time with me this week as he's not had to work as much either. On Sunday, we went to dinner at Billy's dads house. After we ate we played apples to apples and it was super fun, we laughed and had a really good time. I substituted the other day clear out in Magna,,I thought I would never arrive at the school. It's forever away and requires you to get on 3 different freeways,,,but when I showed up I was super excited because I saw that it was a small town and it really reminded me of Grace, and my class of third graders only had twenty students so it was great. I had a lot of fun, and I am still looking forward to the day when I will have my own classroom, and I'll really get to put to practice the many things I have been taught. This weekend I have one of my old companions coming to stay with us. We have a mission reunion Friday night and I'm super excited about that. I also get to go to General Conference and am way happy to see the prophet and to feel the spirit there! I need to get some pictures up on here, and I will eventually and will tell more about what's been going on in my life soon!

The Story!

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how Billy and I met and how our relationship came to be. So to begin with we met in the MTC before our missions. We were waiting in line to listen to President Monson speak. I was with my companion and we were meeting those Elders that were surrounding us. Then I met Elder Burk. So anyways we talked and realized that we were going to the same mission and that he had been there longer, because he had learned spanish. So I saw him the day we flew out, I talked to him on the bus ride to the airport. We went to the mission home and found out our companions and I never saw him again for the first half of my mission. I came to Eugene to serve, again, and he was there serving in the spanish branch. So we served around each other for two transfers, three months, then he got transfered and I stayed. I didn't see him again or talk to him. I came home in November of 2007. Billy came home in May 2008. We both ended up at our mission presidents homecoming talk/reunion in July and we saw each other, he gave me a hug. Later I got his phone number, cuz he didn't have a cell phone. At this time I was still finishing up my semester in Rexburg, but was going to be moving to Draper, Utah to finish with my student teaching. So once I moved down here in August, I decided to call Billy and we planned to hang out. From there it was history. We were engaged on October 11, and we were married in the Logan temple on December 20. We are happy and loving life. We're living in Sandy, Utah, while Billy is going to the Art Institute studying animation and he is working at sams club in the photo department. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education in December, and am currently looking for a job.
