Yes I did get married and NO I didn't fall off of the Earth.
This summer has been one of the most amazing, but also one of the most craziest I have had. Here is a little summary and no pictures because I am on campus and without my camera and CD's so that is that. I will get some posted soon, I PROMISE! :)
MAY
I moved home for a week to live with my parents before the big day. The events leading up to mine and Tyler's wedding day were some of the greatest. It was extremely busy around my house trying to get everything ready, but I enjoyed being able to spend that time with my family.
May 14th was a glorious day. I made it a goal to not be stressed out at all that day. It was a very emotional day for me. If any of you saw me the tears were constantly running down my face. However, they were tears of joy. Our wedding day will be a day that I remember forever. Tyler woke up super early and left my house and went golfing with his twin Travis and his dad in Twin Falls. I got my hair done and shared some memorable moments with my adorable cousin Chelsey. Thanks so much by the way. I felt like such a princess with the way you did my hair. LOVED IT! :)
We had our reception that night in Oakley. I know that I come from a very supportive community, but I am still astounded by the love and support that EVERYBODY showed. I love Oakley and can't thank all of you enough. You each had a great part in raising me, so thank you! :)
That night we headed to Poky, then the next day we went on to Idaho Falls for our open house at the Butterworth household. Once again great support from his family and friends there. From there we headed on our way to Vegas to spend a few days there in the sun. It was great to be able to go out and not have it be raining or cold.
While on our honeymoon baby Jemma came into the world :) Congrats to AJ and Summer
and I also started my online class. How exciting! Don't ask me why I decided to go to summer school, oh wait it is so i can GRADUATE in MAY of 2011. I took a whopping 6 credits this summer and wow, I barely made it through them.
JUNE
June was spent with me going to school and working part time at Little Wonders. While my amazing husband worked 6 days a week at Ashley Furniture and 5 nights at Kmart. Did I mention how amazing he is?!?! And what a hard worker he is, well he is.
JULY
The 4th of July we headed up to Oakley for baby Jemma's blessing. AJ did such an amazing job, what a great father he is and is going to be. We spent a ton of time with family and watched the fireworks from my grandparents house on the river. Tyler also was spoiled and go to go golfing with the boys.
We also headed back up to Oakley for Pioneer Days at the end of July. I had to show Tyler Oakley at its best when there is so many people there you can't move. I think he may have been a little over-whelmed at times, but really enjoyed it.
AUGUST
I finished up my remaining summer classes and thankfully I passed them all. :)
We took a trip with Travis and Brandi to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. It was great to be able to get away and just relax. I enjoyed it so much. It was so nice to be able to put the world behind us and enjoy each others company. While in Yellowstone we went to the Playmill and saw The Foreigner. It was absolutely hilarious. On our way home we stopped at Tyler's parents house. It was so nice to see the whole family and spend some time with them.
Tyler turned in his graduation papers and paid his fees for that. YEAH to graduate in December is what we thought. Well there was some mis-communication with the Spanish department. His adviser called and told him that he wouldn't be able to graduate because his GPA was too low and he would need to re-take 2 more classes. Well we were a little unhappy because she had signed the paper saying he was good to go. Tyler emailed her and called her. We ended up calling many a more people and emailing more and FINALLY got the answer we wanted. Tyler will no longer have to re-take those two classes because it was their fault for not mentioning it or writing it down on the graduation papers. SO Tyler will be done in December with flying colors. I am so proud of him.
I put in my final days at Little Wonders. It is hard to believe that I am done there. This week has been weird just going to school and not being able to see my little kids. I miss those crazy little ones. I got a text from one of the girls and one of the little boys said, "I Wuv Miss Tashie!" It probably made my day. I am so glad I am going into Education so I can spend it with more kids just like them.
I was able to attend the temple with one of Tyler's really good friends. I love that place. The Spirit is so strong there. :) Thanks Melanie!!
This year I got to take part in the Butterworth Fantasy football draft. That was a new experience and it was pretty fun I will admit. However the guys tend to get a bit crazy, but that's okay we still love them. :)
I finished my student teaching application and woke up at 4 am Monday (the first day of school) to stand in line at 5 am to make sure that I received a spot in Cache Valley. I was number 20 on the list! :) YES :).
Tyler and I have both been very busy since school started. My classes are three hours and fifteen minutes long, and Tyler goes to school early in the mornings and still manages to work two jobs. Wow, what a great guy he is!!!
Our life has been pretty crazy and instead of slowing down I think it just keeps getting crazier. My goal was to have all of our thank yous done before school started and that goal definitely failed. I have a few remaining and hopefully they will get done soon!! Sorry for the really long and boring post!!! :)
