Here Comes the Bride!

No, not me... yet!

On Tuesday my cousin Lexie was married to her sweetheart, Preston Millett. They were giddy and googly-eyed all day. =) I couldn't be happier for her. Preston is one heck of a guy! He just adores her, and it is so cute. And to Preston, you'd better keep treating her like a queen because she deserves it! You caught one of the best and most beautiful girls I know. Lucky you! Here are some pictures from the wedding reception. We had a blast! Thanks for a fun night you two!


We got the cousins of the same age together to take a picture for old times sake. We sure miss our Alec! But we are so proud of him as he is serving the Lord in the Billings, Montana mission.

Next it will be our turn! I can't wait!


My Ronda Mae! I love this girl oh so much!


Ronda sure has some cute nephews! They make me miss my niece Mylie and my nephew Kyler! I can't wait to see them in just a few weeks!


Mayson on the left and Lincoln on the right. What cute boys!

Kaden was the prime entertainment of the night. I think they spun him like this for a good 20 minutes! It was so funny to see his reactions and his mom's reactions! Thanks for being a good sport about all this Celeste! Haha =)

One more thing... =)

Okay, okay. So I left out one HUGE detial... I'm engaged and getting married on January 2, 2010! Hooray! His name is JoRyan Paul Johnson, and he is the love of my life. He is so handsome, treats me like a queen, makes me laugh, loves his mom, has an incredible family, and loves me just as much as I love him! We met in the University Ward this summer back in Oklahoma. We started dating the 1st of July and were talking about wedding plans by August! We weren't "officially" engaged though until October 7th. Our wedding plans are coming along great, and we are just so happy together and SO excited to be getting married! Here are some pictures of the last few months with my honey.

When we first started dating and were "boyfriend/girlfriend"

At his sister's "Motown" show at the Yellow Rose Theatre

The night JoRyan proposed. After the proposal, we went and played laser tag with friends and family

Carving pumpkins for Halloween!

We dressed up as the old couple from "UP" for Halloween!
You could also say that this is us in about 50 years =)

A couple of our engagement pictures

Well, I hope you have enjoyed this post! I promise I will start posting more now!

Long time, No post!

I guess it's about time for me to post something on here. Much has happened since the last post! Here is a list of my adventures for almost the last year...

Night skiing at Brighton with friends and family

"Spelunking" (aka caving) in Nutty Putty Caves

Choir concerts and Bonfires

Summer fun with friends and family

I was blessed with a beautiful new nephew =)

Well, there you go! A brief summary of my life since January.

Just Call Me Slacker.

Bishop's Ball!

Ronda, Me, Lissa, and Sarah

I love my roommates!

I know, I know, I haven't posted in far too long. Honestly though, I was having WAY too much fun at home with my family and friends! I hope ya'll can forgive me! (see, I even got the Okie words back!) Anyway, I took some pictures with my friends, and I decided to share them =)

This is Corie ... She's beautiful!

Anthony and I

"Family Photo"

We all claim to be siblings. =)

If only, if only...

Dog Pile on Andrew! Poor guy, look how red his face is!

Here's Andrew with a normal face hahah

And now for the snow... I got back to Utah on Sunday the 4th, and it snowed from Monday morning until Wednesday morning pretty much without a break. It was insane! I am so not used to this cold weather and this much SNOW! It really is beautiful though, and I was able to capture some funny pictures of what happens when it snows so darn much. Enjoy!

It says "Pray for Snow." I guess I just thought it was funny at the time because when I took this photo, it had honestly been snowing for 36 hours straight! I think we done enough prayin' Utah!

Exhibit A: I don't think it's going anywhere.

Exhibit B: Yes, it is hard to find parking at BYU.

Especially when half the spots are covered in snow.

Exhibit C: Last but certainly not least, the beauty that comes after the storms.

Brrr! It's cold out here!

Miss Ronda Mae is now a brunette! Which makes me the only blonde in our apartment...

So I am now the "outcast" in 3 ways: only blonde, only BYU student, only one from out of state! Oh well, I guess being different isn't such a bad thing, eh?

I love living with my best friend!

Snow in October? Toto, I don't think we're in Oklahoma anymore!
I am freezing out here! I didn't think winter was supposed to come this early.

I even had to scrape ice off my windshield the other morning!

I am definitely still trying to get used to the climate change. It's very different, but I love it!

Hooray for rollerblading!

Lissa brought home 2 pairs of rollerblades yesterday and demanded I go with her.

We had a blast! I forgot how much fun it is to rollerblade. I love it!
