Day 9: 1st Grade Memories

Kelci's Memories: 

I lived in Jonesboro, Arkansas and went to Hillcrest Elementary. 
I thought for a school we had an awesome playground. It was huge with a lot of equipment. I loved the See-Saws, but we weren't allowed to use them until 3rd grade. I hated that, but now I know it was safety reasons. My teacher was Mrs. Tramel. She taught us to spell Mississippi backwards. I liked her, but she moved. We went through a lot of substitutes. My favorite was Mrs. Burns who after she went away came back to be our permanent teacher. My best friend was Meredith Wiggins. We had dance together on Monday nights. Every Monday I would go home with her. Her mom always had chocolate milk for us and a yummy snack. She would take us to dance and my mom would take us home. After my sister's dance class my family would always go to Taco Bell. It was family/kids night. It was fun. I loved dancing and loved having all my friends. If I remember right, it was in first grade where I got caught lying to my mom, Something about my dads garden. Anyways I felt awful and she grounded me for a day, that was the only time i've ever been grounded. Back then that was the worst punishment having to stay home all day. I wasn't allowed outside or allowed to go with friends. I had cousins coming over and my parents were getting ready to put the pool out. My mom gave it and said i'm allowed to come out just not play with friends. I was fine with that. 

Paul's memories: 

Paul's best friend was Paul Robinson. There were a bunch of kids in his neighborhood who were in his class. He thought that was pretty cool. He loved knowing a lot of people. One day when he was getting a drink of water  the girl behind him, who was also his next door neighbor, told him that he liked another girl from the neighborhood. This upset him so her turned around and spit water in her face. At the end of the year, he asked his teach if everyone passed. 

This was kind of fun to go back and think about our early days at school. Paul and I have had fun talking about it and sharing stories growing up. I like having both of us do what we can when they apply to us. As a couple it gets us talking more and we hear stories that we think we may have told but really didn't. To me, this is a way that helps relationships become stronger because you are talking and learning more about each other.   

Bridals

Since the last post was "wedding day", I find it kind of appropriate to also post some of my favorite bridal and wedding day pictures. I just didn't think it should go with the last one. These are a few of my favorite. My bridals were taken at a park across from Timpanogos Temple. My step mom took extras at our wedding. Love them all!

Day 8: Our Wedding

I figured this post is appropriate at this time since we just celebrated our 7th anniversary two weeks ago. I'm so excited as I FINALLY got all my pictures on a disc so now I can have them when I need them. I'm so grateful for saying yes to Paul. Its not always easy, but I'm glad to have my best friend beside me through eternity. Putting this together brought back so many memories. My wedding was one of the happiest days of my life!

2012 Update

Since I've obviously havn't been the greatest at the 30 Day Challenge, I decided to take time to catch you up with whats going on. Its a little to late for a 2011 year in review that I like to do at the new year so I'm thinking I'll totally skip that for now. I will still do the challenge just on my own time. So far 2012 has been good to us. In January my sister-in-law got me tickets to Collin Raye so we went to see him. It was soooo much fun. I still love him. I know he's older but boy can he dance and play that guitar. In March Paul celebrated his 27th birthday. We just barely celebrated our 7th anniversary. It was fun. Now we are looking forward to the beginning of May with Paul graduating and then off to California! I'm so excited! I can't wait for that trip. I'm also very excited for Paul to graduate! I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he has done. Now the next step is deciding which program to go for and applying to grad school. I can't wait for the next adventure in our life. Hopefully it will take us out of state for awhile. Not much else going on. I'm liking my new job and the people I have met. I've also done a little more with Mary Kay and am loving it. I just got back from a career conference and got a lot of training and motivation. Can I just tell you how much fun that stuff was? Love the girlfriend time.

Day 7: Our Likes

 Through the years Paul and I have learned of each others likes and dislikes. We have a lot of things we both like or things on our own. We have found it is still important to be your own person and have your own likes, dislikes, hobbies, and whatever. We have also learned to be more appreciative of each others interests and have come to find that we like a lot of the same things. This post is just to name a few. I figured some pics. of our likes would make it fun too. Its not just hobbies, obviously. 

We both love spending time with family and friends. One of our favorite things to do is spend Sundays with our family. We usually trade off and go visit and have dinner with one side. Last summer one of my families favorite things to do was to pack up dinner and take it to the park.
