Will's Graduation from Oakland Community College!!!!!!

In May, Will got his Associate's Degree in Technological Sciences

from OCC. His graduation was held at the Palace, which is where

the Detroit Pistons play. It was a huge graduation with hundreds

of students but it was awesome!!! I am so proud of Will and Woo-Hoo babe

way to go. Skip and Ellen came out for his graduation and we had so much

fun with them. We got to show them how beautiful Michigan is. Enjoy! :)

So Will has informed me that I have been slacking on the blogging and honestly I have. But......good news is that I am on break in between semesters and I am going to do some blogging. Will and I have been so busy this last couple weeks that time has truly flown by.

Will has been working hard in his welding classes and is really enjoying his politial science classes. He has made some really awesome projects in his welding class and has really taken a liking to it. He has also been riding his dirt bike a lot lately. He got some new red rims and tires and his bike looks sweet!!!!! He has been riding with his friend Ollie mostly and his other friend Jim, who just recently got baptised, has been coaching him. Jim is awesome....he used to ride moto-cross and was a champion and has been helping Will out a lot. His job is going really great too. We are so blessed that Will has such a great job with the economy the way it is. He will graduate from OCC in May with an Associate's Degree and I am so proud of him. He has really become such an awesome student and works so hard always. Its also Supercross season so every weekend we are watching Supercross. Will is cheering for the Honda boys and I am a DUNGEY fan!!!! We both love Justin Barcia and he is so much fun to watch. We can't wait to watch the finals in Vegas...too bad we can't go!

I have been going crazy, drinking about 2 mountain dews a day, for the last week or so trying to make it through finals! This semester I really had too much fun and not enough studying until the last minute. I think that is the procrastinator in me( I think it runs in my family). I took my Property II final, Bus Org Final, and finished off with my Con Law II final today. It was really weird going to school and taking a test on Sunday but I think it worked out okay. I truly realized how blessed I am to have such a great husband. I know that I am a beast during finals cuz I get so stressed and exhausted but Will is sooooo good not to push any buttons and just let me deal with it. He cooked me dinner almost everynight and did all the cleaning, laundry, and even went through hundreds and hundreds of notecards with me. I have gotten to be really good friends with a girl from my school named Ashley. She loves her Robert Pattinson and Twilight so we hit if off real well. It's nice to have good friends at my school and at times I feel like the people I go to school with are my little family. I have really been enjoying Michigan and it grows on me everyday. I love love love Utah and I really miss my family but I love Michigan too and there are so many amazing experiences we've had out here I wouldn't change it for anything. The weather has been wonderful and it's sooooooo green outside. I love seeing the green grass.

So today after my final I was just itching to get outside and do something since I spent the last week couped up in my house and the school library. Will and I went to a little cider mill and to Yates Park. It was a blast and so pretty. We also played a little frisbee outside and went for a walk around our complex. Hope everyone is doing great.......we sure are!!! Love ya'll!

Jazz v. Pistons 2010

Will and I got awesome tickets from our landlord to go watch the Jazz play the Pistons here at the Palace!!! It was so much fun. Will's friend Brandt went with us and we had a blast. We go there early enough to watch Korver warm up. We got a few pics before the game. Our seats were row 10 right behind the Jazz bench. It was an awesome game. It was so cool for us to see them so close up. D-Will, Korver, Memo and Booz all played really good! Will was cheering and yelling so loud....he was stoked. It was his first time seeing the Jazz play live. We did have a few Pistons fans look at us funny as we were jumping up and down cheering everytime Korv or Memo hit a 3-pointer. We love our Utah JAZZ!!!!! PS: Darci and Davi I was soooo close to getting u Korv's autograph....maybe next year!

Will surprised me this year and took me on the best date ever for Valentine's Day. He told me I needed to get dressed up and be ready at 4o'clock. Right at 4 a huge gray limo pulled in our driveway. I was soooo excited. When I got in the limo, Doug and Christina and Ollie an Julia were in there too. All these guys totally surprised us girls!!! We went to dinner in downtown Detroit at a restaurant on top of the GM Tower(called the RenCen). The restaurant was called the Coach Insignia and it was top notch delicious! I ate chicken and Will had a steak. We also went to a little ice cream shop afterwards for dessert. We had such a blast and it was the best Valentine's day ever!! Thanks Willy...I sure do love ya!

SnOw DaY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today Will studied so hard for his Poly Science test, drove to school and found out school was closed for a SNOW DAY!!!!! So he came home and we decided to play in the snow and we built Will's 1st snowman!!!!!! It was so fun. The snow was soooo powdery but Will was creative and we made it work. Now we are drinking hot chocolate and enjoying the night!

We had such a great time on our anniversary. We drove up north an hour to a little town called Frankenmuth. It's a little village and it's all olden and antique and we both loved it. They had a winterfestival going on with some sweet ice sculptures. We ate dinner at the Black Forrest and it was soooooooooooo good. We were both stuffed to the max. Even though we were only an hour away from our house it was so nice to be able to turn our phones off and escape the "real world" even if just for a day. We came back to our house early Thursday mornin and played Wii like all day long. :)

HaPpY 3rD AnnIvErSarY WilLy!!!!

So this is what I woke up to this morning!!!! I am such a lucky girl!!! Well today is Will and my 3rd anniversary and I wanted to do a blog this morning and talk about why I love Will and why I am such a lucky girlie!!!
Since I first hung out with Will before he headed to Iraq I knew there was something special about him that was going to touch my life forever. I didn't know that it was going to be that he would be my eternal companion but I did know that he had touched my heart in the short time we were able to spend before he left for Iraq. The day that Will left for Iraq it was my birthday and as soon as he left I cried for an hour and thank goodness I had my mom to help make me feel better. I felt like my best friend had left. While Will was in Iraq I got to know him through emails and phone calls. He always knew exactly what to say to me to lift me up and motivate me to be my best. I remember the first day we were able to get the webcams working and as soon as the picture cleared up and I saw his smiling face my heart melted and I knew that this was more than a friendship and that I wanted to spend my life with him. The time Will spent in Iraq was not always easy for our relationship by any means but it sure did make us realize the time we get to spend together is priceless. When he came home for leave in October and surprised me is probably one of my favorite memories I have. Will always told me that I should try out for the WNBA cuz I was soooo good enough to make it and he always told me to go to law school if I want to. I was never really confident that I could do either of those things but in Will's mind, he was positive I could accomplish anything. I love Will because he is such a hard worker and I know that I will never have to worry about money problems because he will always find a way to pay the bills and will never give up until we are taken care of . I love Will because he loves to help people and is soooo friendly. Wherever we move or wherever we live I have no worries that Will will ever be w/out friends. He is so outgoing and makes people feel so important! I love Will because he is a honest priesthood holder. There are many times this last year that he has given me blessings and that means the world to me. I love Will becuase he lets me dream and fulfill my dreams. I know it takes a lot for him to sit by and watch as I go to law school when he could be chasing his dreams but I appreciate it so much and I can't wait until I can work and provide for him to follow his dreams. I love Will because I know when the time comes he will be the BEST dad. I don't have to worry that he won't change diapers or help me when we have a baby...he will be the first one up in the middle of the night and the last one rocking our kids to bed. I love Will becuase he loves me for me. It's not always been easy being a 6' tall girl but Will has made me feel so comfortable about being me. I love that he always tells me to wear hills even though they make me taller than him cuz he loves it. He always tells me that one of the reasons he married me was because of my heart and because of my genes!! He loves that I am an athlete. Will lets me act like a 10 year old and goof off when I need to. Besides the fact that I think Will is the most handsome man, his heart is as big as can be. I have loved these last three years of my life and although there are challenges along the way there is no one I would rather be holding hands with facing these challenges than my WILLY!!! Happy 3rd Anniversary Willy...I love you forever and always!

TaDa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The trailer is finished!!!!!
