It's the graduating time of year....



My gorgeous little sister Mackenzie is graduating from High School.... and I can't believe it!! It's bittersweet... I love her so much and am so proud of her for graduating and staying involved in so many things at once!



We'll see what she chooses to do in the Fall... naturally she would love to travel the world! I think she'll end up getting a job for the summer and start a couple classes at a local college.



I am really hoping to fly up to see my family this summer for the Reunion in July... Its sooo hard being away from them!! I love them all so much :)

tough time to be missing

My heart strings are pulling again... I hate it, and i hate it again. Ya'll must think I am crazy to be thinking about Idaho during this time of year. People in the midwest/east coast are dying to be in SoCal right now and would love this absolute perfect weather. But what'd ya know, I'm missing Rexburg, Idaho and I will not deny it. I have always had my heart set on staying there ever since I laid eyes on those gorgeous Teton Mountains. I mean, how could you not love this view...


And that wide open road... crusin' down the highway with no one around for miles. There is nothing like it. (until the cop pulls you over for going 20 over... oops, jk)


not to metion the sunrise peeking over the tips of the mountains... it's life changing at 6 in the morning


I wont even get into the other things in my life i'm missing... My two wonderful, beautiful, hilarious families... {I'm tearing up as I look as these pics.... I'm such a cry-baby!}



Luckily we get to see these this awesome couple, Aaron's brother Blake and his wife Heather in 8 days!!!!! We're driving all the way to San Fransisco to see them :)


Anyway, when it all comes down to it I know I have my family there for me its just really super tough {and sucky} to live far away from them all... it makes it so worth the long drives to see them!


{{{{{stay tuned for my next post on my little sister & also one on me becoming rich one day... it should be good}}}}}

BBQ Day

We splurged. BBQ. The end.





Within a 24 hour period we've grilled hotdogs, hamburgers and smore's. Best purchase of the year thus far. And so glad we could buy it on the day "the world was suppose to end", we survived the rapture and celebrated at midnight with smore's.

Remembering...

May 12th, 2010 was a sad day for the Wallace Family.... This week I am remembering the passing of my Grandfather, Robert Bruce Wallace. He was such a wonderful man and he taught me so many things. He was a professor of english. He was the very first principle and guidance counselar at Mission Veijo High School in 1966.



These are Bob & Cozette's children: Bruce, Cozanne, Bret (my dad) and Stuart


Me & Grandma Cozette






I know he is up in heaven spending time with his family and teaching others the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The first year is always rough without someone but our family is doing much better. Now we can wear all of his awesome cowboy gear and indian rings! I love my Grandpa and I love my family so much. I know we will all see eachother again soon.

engaged again?

May 9th 2008 was a wonderful and very surprising day to say the least for me. Aaron on the other hand had it all planned..........

He told me to meet him after his class ended at his mothers house and we'd have dinner there and hang out. When I got there Aaron wasn't there, only his mother. A couple minutes after not really knowing what was going on... Aarons mother came out and handed me a CLUE.

On each of the 5 clues I got they all rhymed and lead me to various places in Idaho Falls that we had been to and had lots of fun at. Eventually the 2nd to last one was our engagement ring store, then the last clue was to the Idaho Falls Temple where I found Aaron with a boquet of roses in his suit. So Handsome! Oh ya! From there I was pretty much crying and he got down on one knee and told me he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and asked me to marry him. Yes, Yes, Yes!

I was so awesome! And very romantic! Since then I dont think Aaron wrote me another poem since. He did enough to steal my heart away and... well... he's had it ever since. I would like some more rhymes though.



This was one of the best days of my life



I am so glad Aaron and I are together & He is the best husband I could ever have; He is so perfect for me! HAPPILY MARRIED for 2 years, 6 months, 10 days, 7.3 hours and counting.....

Ducks Game & Working Out!

DUCKS PLAY OFFS GAME:
So, the Ducks are out of the Playoffs but the game was fun! It was an awesome and very exciting game and well worth the money.






Lauren & Brent - our partners in crime




RSM FIT CLUB:

So My friend Kate runs a Fitness Club once a week and they do P90x, TurboFire, and Insanity workout videos. Its crazy! Then the other days of the week I am at 24/hour taking classes and running and/or lifting weights.




This is our group from last nite - sporting the "X" for P90X workouts!



I signed up for the Laguna Hills Memorial Day 5k race! My first one - I am very excited & nervous too. I have been very motivated to get to the gym and run more because of the "deadline" in my head, that has made such a difference. So I urge you all to keep running, keep working out. You can do it! Its been great for me :)
