Just the two of us.

James and I have been busy, busy these past few weeks. I have been out of town visiting my family and James has been working on our boat - trying to get it ready for the summer!

This weekend was probably the first this month where we actually had some time to spend together. We both are getting ready for a lot of changes - which is exciting but can also be stressful. Lucky for me, James handles most of the stressful stuff.

More details on our updates soon.

Event Recap

I'm such a sap, but I couldn't help myself.... Here are some pictures from the past three years working with Special Events for Provo Parks and Recreation. Such good times.

Mr. Handsome

I love this handsome boy. 

YW Welcome Bags

I've been putting together Welcome Bags for the new young women who will be turning twelve this year. I have had a lot of fun gathering all of the materials, and making a cute little package for them. I tied in the "Stand ye in Holy Places" youth theme along with the Young Women essentials.

I got the cute printables and sock cupcake idea from Courtney.

These are the essential items that you should include in your welcome bag for the incoming girls.

• Young Women Personal Progress 
• Personal Progress Journal
• Young Women Theme Card 
• For the Strength of Youth 
• For the Strength of Youth Card 
• Young Women Logo Pendant 

Alex is having a girl!

This weekend James and I were able to get together with my family and throw a gender reveal party for Chip and Alex! This is going to be the first baby on myside and James side of the family :) We are both so excited to be an aunt and an uncle! Everyone got to take a vote on whether they thought the baby would be a girl or a boy, we played a couple games, and finished the night with a fun bonfire in the backyard.

To see more pictures and watch an awesome video, check out Alex's Post.

Samsung Harlem Shake

A couple of weeks ago, James made a Harlem Shake video for his work team. I thought it was funny so I decided to share it on the blog! See if you can spot me in the video! haha.

Change of Plans

So, I have had a change of plans recently. I decided to make a career change. Last week was my last day working for the Parks and Recreation Department. It has been really hard for me to let my event job go. I loved working with Parks and Rec and I loved all the people that I got to work with. By chance, my last day ended up being the Volunteer Recognition Luncheon. It really was the perfect last day. I was able to see all of my interns from last year and just reflect on all the fun experiences I have had. 

The nice thing is that I will still be working for Provo City, so I will still be able to see a lot of the event staff and work with Parks and Rec to a degree :)

Now for the exciting news.... I am now working in the Mayor's Office as the Public Relations Coordinator! I am really excited about the new position and everything that I am going to learn. This is an awesome opportunity for me and I am loving every second working in this new position. I am so happy and grateful. :)

Here is a pic of my new office. I have a few Miss Provo pictures hanging on my wall right now as a joke. :) I am going to keep them up until I decide how I want to decorate it... so girl power for now!
