Happy fourth, twenty-fourth and all that jazz!

I have been wanting to update our blog as we have done so many fun things this month. UNFORTUNATELY our camera is on the blitz and I haven't been able to get any good pics, I will have to go picture shopping on others' blogs to maybe steal some pictures. We have been to Lake Powell, Las Vegas, and our family has been in town (Tyler's side Jen and Ryan we love and miss you already). It has been a great time and I will try to get a new camera so our journaling can continue, (I know you are just on the edge of your seat to see pics of tyler and myself:)

Utah Valley University

Today was very exciting at my work. Today we officially went from Utah Valley State College to UTAH VALLEY UNIVERSITY. All the media and state senators were there at 10 am this morning for the celebration. It was so hot, but a very cool moment in history in which I was able to attend. In the background is the brand new "Digital Learning Center" they had to build in order to become a University. It has taken over a year to build and is the most energy efficient in Utah.

Here are me and some of the people I work with in my office beating the heat with our nifty UVU visors which were provided.

Here is the actual ribbon cutting ceremony of the President of the college, William Sederburg. He is the one I drew the arrow to.

AND not to forget my favorite picture of BIG BUDDHA. Tyler and I watch Fox 13 news every morning and he is their news correspondent who follows special stories and events every morning. He was there covering the event and I was so excited to get a picture with him!

Happy Belated Father's Day!

Happy Belated Father's Day to PAUL! We all went to TGI Fridays on June 14 to celebrate. Also, these are pics of Tyler and Saige (who have long been best buddies apparently) at the restaurant. Tyler is going to be a great father someday, and thanks to Paul for raising such a great man!

Painting Day!

We went to Tyler's dad's yesterday and helped him and Ray paint. It was nice to get out of the office and do some manual labor!

I LOVE Stephenie Meyer

I am such a nut about the author Stephenie Meyer lately! I stayed up late last night (and if you know me, I go to bed at 9:00) reading "The Host", her latest book until "Breaking Dawn" comes out August 2. I've already pre-ordered my copy, have you? Call me a nerd, I am like a trekky, but its not about star wars.

Dancing Queens!

These are my nieces, Saige and Elle, dancing to the soundtrack of hairspray. It cheered me up today since I had to come back to work after the long holiday.

Sand Dunes

We went to the sand dunes this past weekend with our friends, Kelly and Rachel (and Keith). It was the first weekend it was actually HOT! We had a good time, thanks Kelly and Rachel!
