We went to a Butterfly House in the Seattle Science Center. This was my favorite place, EVER! Right as we walked in a butterfly landed on Kristofer's shoulder. Can you see it? It pretty much stayed there until we left, two more landed on him. Not one came to me. SAD! But, they are still beautiful. It was just so amazing to see these beautiful creatures fly right in front of us. I didn't want to leave! I also learned that butterflies only live for at most 2 weeks. Now, isn't that a bummer? So much fun! Can't wait to do it again.

Our trip to Seattle was a blast!
We went there July 19th - 25th

We went downtown to see Pike Place Market, the Aquarium, and the Seattle Science Center. It was a fun filled week of adventure.

Aren't we so cute!! I justlove the water! I was so beautiful and the weather was so nice!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY EMMIE Aunt Corri and Uncle Kristofer LOVE YOU!!

Kristofer and I have arrived in Washington. YAY! Yesterday I met his parents for the first time! We all went out to dinner, by all I mean his parents and us. :D Washington is so much cooler than Idaho or Utah!! It is only in the 70's. Its nice but a bit rainy. oh well... Today Kristofer took me to an outlet mall! BIG mistake! :) I got two new pairs of shoes from Nordstrom Rack. They are so cute. (I'll show you all later) It is his fault I bought them! It's ok though, I love him so much. Meeting his parents was refreshing. Now I wont get the reactions of all those, whom say "What you haven't met his parents?!" hehe... It has been good so far.

HEHE... This is way back when! Brittany and I worked at Springcreek BBQ. Mom just had to take a picture. Man, look how skinny we are! Our legs look amazing! I want to look like that again. Springcreek was my longest employment and my first. I was only in 9th grade. It was so much fun working with her! I love ya Britt! We always have fun working together, even at Highway Safety Solutions! Good times, good times.

We saw the Harry Potter movie!! Kim and Adam, Kristofer and I, we went last night and it was amazing! I personally think this is one of the best ones yet. It went very well along with the book. I was impressed. It was very suspenseful, and full of funny moments. The whole theater laughed. I love it when everyone gets involved. This movie was very well done, I give it 5 stars! ;)

I will own it when it comes out on DVD, and I recommend it to all! :) YAY... for Harry!

Today is the last day of classes for this semester! Yipee!! SO now all we have is finals. Kristofer and I have our storage unit and we will start moving things in on Monday. We also found out which apartment is ours!! We are on the second floor, which isn't the best, but better than the third. ;) Our apartment number is 204. Sorry, I know I sound pathetic. But I am so excited!! :)

This is an older picture, but this is our apartment complex. Our apt is the second building on the left. I just can't express how excited I am!!

I am even way excited about going to Seattle, next week, and then to Missouri. I love spending time with family!

Now, this is what I call way back! This is me and my baby sister, Danielle. This was in December1985. I think that was my favorite Christmas ever! To be a big sister and have someone to pick on, instead of being picked on. ;) j/k. I am so grateful for her in my life, she definitely has filled my life with joy. I just pray and hope I fulfilled my roll as a big sister. I know I did the best I could and will continue to do my best! Thanks to my big sisters! I love you all!! My family is the best!

On a scale of 1 to 10 of being trained, Corrine says I am a seven. I wish I knew if that is a good thing or a bad thing (good for her at least ...). I guess that means I'm all ready for marriage ;)

We have one more week left of school (classes end this Thursday), then finals. It'll be a stressful, but fun week. We'll be renting out a storage unit for our apartment after this coming week. We just bought a coffee and two side tables today to put in it. I think I'm starting to get into decorating. Hopefully all that HGTV and TLC T.V. watching with my mom will pay off (hah!).

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
I thought this would be appropriate because it is a way back, fourth of July. Man, those were fun times. It was a family tradition to go to a certain park, I think it was is Garland, (I so could be wrong). And we would watch the fire works, while a band played. Every time I went I would think, I wonder if this is what Woodstock was like? Funny, huh? There was always tons of people and a lot of drinking. But we kept to ourselves and sat on our blanket. Danielle and I always tried to get dad to buy things for us, anything really, food, glow in the dark things, just anything. He always said it was a waist of money. ;) I love you daddy. We really were a fun family. Mom and Dad always tried their best, and I thank them for that!! I will always remember those times, they mean the most to me.

May everyone have a fun and safe holiday and remember those who protect our country and fought to make it free.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTOFER!!

This past weekend I the time of my life, with quite a bit of craziness! Kristofer and I went down to SLC to take our engagement pictures and my bridal pictures. It was so much fun! Even my mom and all my sisters were there! I loved it! I even got a really great sun burn ;) YAY, for me! anyway... now that is over the announcements are being prepared to be sent out. It was just so much fun to be with family again! I forget some times how much I really do miss them. We are all always laughing. I burn so many calories when I am around them. ;)

We also celebrated Kristofer's Birthday! Man, he is so cute. It was a great weekend!!
