Can't Wait For...

September tenth

We've been waiting for this day for a LONG time now, and it has finally creeped up on us! Cason's job started today at Ernst & Young and I am so proud of him! He has worked so hard to get this job and his dream of becoming a businessman has finally come true. Ever since we were little we had our "first day of school" pictures taken in our new school outfits. I thought I'd carry on that tradition in our family, except now it's "first day of work" pictures.




















He left tonight to Los Angeles to train until Friday, then he comes back Friday night and is here until Monday morning when he has to go back to LA again for a week full of training. He comes back next weekend and then does the same thing for a WHOLE other week!! I am going to miss him! It was sad for me to see him leave, because we have done pretty much everything together this summer...but it is good for us and it's time for us to work and get down to business and start doing what normal people do. We've loved it though and are grateful for that time we've had together. We have been so blessed to find jobs, an apartment, and to have great parents who let us live at their house until we can move into our new place in October!

I don't want no scrubs...

After much searching, and with the help of my father-in-law, I finally found a job! I went in for an interview this morning at 9:45 very nervous, but was done by 9:54 with the job. Wasn't bad for a 9 minute interview! The only problem is I have to wear a tan top and black bottom scrubs EVERYDAY!! Now I can't complain that I don't have any clothes and I need to go shopping...Cason will be excited! I am thrilled about this job, and I start tomorrow morning! Wish me luck!

Knott's Berry Farm

Cason and I were tired of going to the pool, the beach and the mall so we switched it up. We put on our closed toed shoes and we were off to Knott's Berry Farm.

Our first ride. Neither of us have been on a roller coaster since we were alot younger.

This ride was our very favorite! It goes 80 mph in 2 seconds and then goes straight up and straight down. Scary but fun! We went on it a total of 6 times. There was an old man who was 72 years old who sat in the back of the roller coaster. His record is 124 times in a row and he has ridden the ride 24,000 times in six years...Can you say waste of time?? He must be retired with no wife.

I absolutely DO NOT like this ride. I think I am a little scared of heights. 25 stories high...wouldn't you be? We got to the top and I didn't want to ride it anymore. After it was over it was fun, but I wouldn't go again!

It was about 500 degrees outside, so Cason wanted to cool himself down on a wet ride...I think it did it's job!

Newest Obsession

Golden Spoon. This tastey treat has me wanting more everytime!! They used to have one in the University Mall in Orem...What happened??

***Angel's Baseball***

Cason is a BIG baseball fan! One of his favorite teams is the ANGELS. He has been going to games ever since he was a little kid with his dad. Ever since his mission he hasn't been able to go as much as he would like. Last night we were able to go to a game with his sister Whitney and her husband Will. (We are so glad we got to spend time with them before they leave back home to Hong Kong.) Now that Cason is back in California hopefully he will get to go more often! and me too!!

Of course, the Angels won! They are having a great season!!

And...we will miss you Whitney, Will, Scotty and Luke! Thanks for the fun night.

California Beach House

We're here in California and we just got back from a vacation with Cason's family. We went to Encinitas California and rented a beach house for the week. It was great to just relax and hang out before work starts up again!

It was a fun filled week! Now we're back to reality to find a house and a job for me!

The Eldest of the Seven

My older sister Sarah got married today. She is the eldest of all the kids and is like our second mother. She married a great guy named Jeff, and they are a great match. Today was a great day and I am so happy for them! Although the weather was a little crazy, (sunny and so hot at the temple, and then pouring rain at the dinner) it was still a beautiful perfect day! My mom is amazing!!! She put the whole thing together-did ALL the flower arrangements, bouquet, boutonnieres, decorations, programs, etc. etc. She is wonder woman! Here are some pictures of the beautiful day! There are alot, so enjoy...

The bride and groom...Loved her dress!!
