You can't really tell but I'm on the far right

I know this is going to sound weird, but I almost didn't go to graduation aka the pinning ceremony. I didn't really know anyone in my class except for a few girls and I was so done with school. Plus, I'm not one for big crowds or big productions. But, my amazing husband talked me into doing it and I'm glad I did. It's tradition to wear all white (can't remember why) and everyone looked really nice. The ceremony was perfect. Not too long, but not too short either. As they announced our name, we walked across the stage and had a speech that we individually recorded playing while we were being pinned. I hope that makes sense. Anyways, while your speech is being played, you had to stay up on stage in front of everyone until is finished. So, me being the smart person I am, decided to keep it short & sweet. They announce my name, start playing my speech, and I finish getting pinned two seconds after my speech was done.... no need to stand and gawk out into the audience!! I know, smart huh? Well, I got made fun of because it was so short so I'd like to take this moment to say what I didn't say that night. To my husband Brock... thank you for being such an amazing person. You are my rock and you remind me that life is too short to stress out about the little things. Thanks for always making me laugh and making my life so sweet. To my parents... where do I begin? You have been on this journey with me longer than anyone and have given me the opportunity of a lifetime. I would not be where I am today without you and am so grateful for the endless love & support that you have given me. To all my other friends and family, thank you so much for your encouragement and support. Above all, I want to thank my Heavenly Father for giving me such great family and friends and for helping me through school, because I know without a doubt He is the only reason I made it through school. P.S. Sorry some of the pictures are blurry... it was madness after the ceremony.

Hogle Baby Blessing

I'm bringing sexy back

Beautiful girls

Happy family

Really?

Our good friends TC & Melissa Hogle blessed their baby girl Macy a few Sundays ago and I finally got around to posting some pictures. I was bummed I didn't get one of Macy in her dress but oh well. We had a cookout at TC's parent's house and it was really nice. Macy is the cutest thing and I love her chubby cheeks!! 

The Temple

Went to the temple today... It had been too long. Such a great way to start your day. I found this picture on pishposhphotography.blogspot.com. Isn't is perfect?

This girl is amazing. If you haven't checked out her work, you need to because you'll love it and you don't know what you're missing.

Brock & I went up to Greer with our friends TC & Melissa Hogle and stayed at her grandparent's cabin for Spring Break. It was so fun and the weather was perfect! The guys got in some hunting and Brock made the shot of his life (so far). We were out hunting and the guys were looking for anything that moved. They found a few squirrels and chipmunks but didn't really have much luck. As we were heading back to the cabin, they spotted a huge bird so TC stopped the truck and Brock was getting his gun out. Right as Brock got his sights on the bird it flew away. Brock was so upset. But then, TC noticed another bird from the other side of the road and again, as Brock was getting his sights on the bird it started to fly away. This bird however, flew right over us. So as it was flying over, Brock decided to take the shot... and he nailed it midair! I've never seen my husband so happy. It really was so cool and I'm excited for him. I didn't realize how big those crows are, but man, those things could do some damage. Anyways, I meant to post these pictures a long time ago. Thanks TC & Melissa (and your grandparents) for letting us stay at your awesome cabin. It was so fun!

He kept the feet... Not really sure what happened to the rest of the bird

Pictures don't quite show just how big this bird was

Everyone looks so excited
