Well, not much has happened in our lives lately.  School has ended and Nick and I are both working full time for the summer!  It's really not exciting, but it will be a nice break from school.  We both don't get done with work until 8pm every day, though.  I feel like we miss out a lot on seeing our friends or even doing things on our own, but it's really awesome to be able to sleep in every morning!  That's really nice.  My parents brought us their old treadmill in February since they never use it, and since then, Nick and I have been running every day!  I still absolutely hate running, but I have gotten used to it.  It has been a little difficult for me to get back into normal life after being sick for so long.  I feel like the exercising helps a bit.

A few days ago Nick and I got to go to Mesa for my brother's wedding!  That was pretty fun, but it was a really fast trip.  We flew into Phoenix on Monday night.  We stayed the night at my cousin's house somewhere in Maricopa.  It was really great to see him and his family.



In the morning, Nick and I drove to Mesa to meet Nick's mom and brother.  They live in Flagstaff, and they drove down to see us for a few hours!  We went to eat at The Cheesecake Factory and it was soooo good!!  Then, we walked around a mall and just kinda hung out.  It was a lot of fun, and it was great to see them.




Then, we went to the Mesa Temple for Brandon's wedding!  It was really great, and it was fun taking pictures afterwards.  It was such a beautiful day, and it was the perfect temperature!  Not too hot, but definitely not cold.  I absolutely hate cold weather.  Phoenix would be a great place for me to live.








After we took pictures, we went to the reception.  It was gorgeous!  They had such cute decorations!  The food was also really good.  Here are just some of the great decorations:











Brandon and my new sister, Sabrina! I just love her!



We had to go get Arby's for my dad because he was allergic to everything served at the reception.  It looked a little weird, haha.


We loved dancing together!




At the end of the reception, we got sparklers while Brandon and Sabrina went to their car and drove away.  It was fun, but I am terrified of sparklers!  When I was like 5 years old I burned my lip with one and apparently I'm still scared of them..  They are a lot of fun, and I didn't even realize I was afraid until after I lit mine.  Then I tried to stay as far away from them as I could!


The next morning, we had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to catch out flight back to Utah.  We got there just fine, but I was so nauseous and sick that we missed our flight.  It took until about 3:00 until I felt good enough to get on the plane, but then our flight got delayed and we didn't end up getting home until 8:00 pm.  It was the worst day of my life!  Overall, though, it was a great trip!  I should probably go now, its getting late! Plus, I don't really have much more to talk about.
