Happy 12th Anniversary

OK, I have heard it all when looking at our wedding pictures. No we did not get married in the eighties, yes we look really young, I know we look really different now (aka- old). Yes, that is my real hair, Yes, my dress was in style when I wore it. I know, I know I can see Tyson's hair too and yes it was still red when we got married.
But, none the less it was a glorious day. I don't remember a whole lot, because wedding days are kind of a blur and you are in your own little world, and it was 12 years ago (seriously). But, I do remember kneeling across the alter and marrying the most wonderful man, my very best friend for time and all eternity. I am so grateful for such a wonderful gift from our Heavenly Father that our marriage and family will not end after this life.

Sawyer - Lost

So I was going through old pictures tonight because Tyson is out of town and is soon to be coming home! (yea). I found this one and thought it was worthy of posting. Two years ago Tyson and I went to Hawaii and we spent three days on Oahu. We decided we wanted to see if we could find where Lost was filmed. We talked to our concierge at our hotel and luckily she was a HUGE fan and knew exactly where it was being filmed. She gave us a map to the beach and circled where we needed to go. We pulled up and got out of our car and looked around and saw nothing what so ever that looked like Lost, (there were buildings and stuff). We asked these two men that were standing next to a white van if they knew where Lost was filmed . They pointed to a roped off square and told us that was Sun's garden and that they were guards for the show. They told us if we walked along the beach that we could see where they filmed the beach scenes. Later they came to find us and told us that they were still there filming and if we hurried we could probably watch from a distance. So we walked for awhile and we could see them off in the distance filming a scene, we sat down about a 100 yards away and watched. Shortly after we sat down someone started walking towards us, we thought for sure they were going to tell us to go away. But, he came over and told us that we were in the shot and we didn't look like we had been stranded on an Island. They then invited us to come and watch the scene be filmed. We jumped at the chance and watched for about 30 minutes while they finished the scene. After they were done we had a chance to meet Josh Hollaway that plays Sawyer, we saw Jinn and Bernard also. It was an awesome day.

Dance Recital

Sorry about the long delay from our last post. I had lost my camera and was in a panic for two weeks, I checked in the toy box of the play room, in the laundry room, in all of my purses, in the kitchen and to no avail. I finally found it today (after many prayers) and it was in my swim bag in a pocket that I rarely used. Crisis averted, YEA!!
I am so glad we found the camera because these priceless pictures had not been downloaded yet. The girls had their dance recital the end of May and they both did wonderful. Macey's was a tap routine to Harry Connick Jr.'s ,"A wink and a Smile." Kelsey's was a hip hop routine ( I don't know the song it was to.) but they both did wonderful, we were very proud! The whole performance was 3 and 45min long. So Macey got pretty tuckered out by intermission, she had fallen asleep across Tyson's legs with her foo-foo buns up in the air, so cute.
