We're done!!

We graduated April 10th!!! Me: Elementary Ed. Scott: Business Manangement, Minor Chinese.
It was a wonderful day with family. We went to Fridays to celebrate after the graduation and had a great time! Now that we are done Scott is doing an internship with Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg and still working at his old job. I am hoping to teach in the fall.


It was nice to graduate together. There were 70 married couples that graduated together. Neil A. Anderson spoke at commencement and our convocation which was pretty neat.

D-Land!!!

So Scott and I both graduated...pictures and details to come later.

And then I went to DISNEYLAND!! Scott has been on tour this week and will still be next week in Southern California (sound tech). He bought me a ticket so I could meet him in Disneyland. It was a BLAST! I flew in Saturday and hung out with Scott's awesome sis Jeni, and we had the best day ever. We went to the beach, I got sunburned, pedicures, and Hollywood. No pictures, every attempt we made was not meant to be. Sunday we went and got Scott, and Monday was D-land! It was excellent because there were no lines to 5 min. lines. Perfect day.





We did start out with a bit of a fiasco. Scott got 85spf sunscreen in his eyes which caused them to swell and turn red and he couldn't see. After my man attmepts to get it out, we ended up in the ememrgency first aid room first thing in CA Adventures where he got his eyes flushed. Poor guy.



I have always wanted to eat in the Pirates of the Carribean ride. And we did!! It was delicious!




It was magical.



We got some sweet shades.




Oh yeah. Thanks Jeni for a great weekend and showing us the ropes!

Now I am home again waiting for my hubby to return. It's good to be around family and just relax. Lovin it.

Conference

Just a random little bit of information- Scott is going to be singing in the Priesthood session of General Conference. So for all you males out there that are planning on going, keep your eyes peeled.

Guitars Unplugged- better video!

Ok, here is another Guitars Unplugged video--I liked this one much better!

Guitars Unplugged!

Scott, Megan, and Jospeh all rocked Saturday performing in the Best of Guitars Unplugged! They were the best!

Party time!

I turned 22 years young! It was a wonderful day! I left school sick the day before, so I didn't go to school on my birthday. I slept for 14 hours, woke up, watched a movie (the BFG), then took a three hour nap. After that Scott came home and took me out to dinner. He said he didn't really do anything because my present was coming the next day, so he rented Titantic and we were just going to watch a movie. I was kinda bummed but I got over it. When we got home Megan & Joseph (who are now engaged!! Congrats to them!!!) and Bren & Chantal were there and we had a little surprise party. It was just perfect. I had two beautiful boquets of flowers come in the mail from my fam and Scott's parents. It was sweet becasue spring is refusing to come to Rexburg. (Sorry for all the pics of just me...I guess I should have a kid soon and my blog might be more exciting). Pictures Below:
1. Our house trashed the next day.

3&4. My beautiful flowers!

Bear Cub

Driving an hour to Firth and back everyday gives me a lot of time to listen to the radio. On the way home one day I heard an advertisment for Bear World, they had ten 2-month old black bear baby cubs. And it was free to go see them! We went to Bear World on my day off (thanks to a small school discrict that gets a day off school when the basketball team goes to state) and got to hold the cutest bear cub ever! It was a little weird at first once we realized we were the only ones there without little kids, but we had a great time. Sorry about the bright light on the pic., my scanner wouldn't work so I took a picture of our picture.

January update

January cruised by wihtout me even realizing it. Scott and I have been very busy, busy, busy--trying to be responsible yet still have fun... and such. For me student teaching has brought many surprises and learning experiences. I defy death every morning by driving on trecherous roads every morning for about an hour. I have also realized Fith does things a little bit different out there. I love my cooperating teacher and the students, they are just a little ca-razy. We had a dog in our classroom for a while, and I had to come up with a whole behavior modification system. And through all this what have I learned? Well, I've come to wish I was Mary Poppins.

Scott is very busy with school. He goes to school in the day, sometimes works, and then does homework all night. And he lost his wallet, so if anyone finds a missing black wallet.... Through it all we try to find time for friends and fun, but most nights I'm so worn out nothing sounds better than wearing my jammies and cuddling up and watching a movie. Pathetic. Scott's brother came up for a weekend and it was good to see him. The next weekend 4 of my bestest friends came up to visit, partay! (maybe pics to come) Anywho, we really are doing awesome and hope everyone had an awesome January and built lots of snowmans (not snowmen).

As far as picture? Hmmm, the only one I have is a little silly, but if you know me you won't be surprised:).

Rollerskatin. How could you do it normally?

Hurray for 2009

New Year's Eve has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not because I make resolutions that I never stick to or write the wrong year for about a month, but because of my family's traditional party! My brothers build a snowman and we burn it to death and light all of our sweet fireworks off of it. Family and friends show up and we eat all the neighborhood Christmas treats, play games, and bang pots and pans for about 20 minutes. 

Death to the snowman. 

My dad, the pyro, does all the firewoks. 

Some of my bestest friends come every year. Jess, April, Me, Marissa, and Jared 
Cheese! 
ANother year together. I look pretty excited, Scott looks....scared. 
We love Shelby!
Mexican train game is me and Kiera's new favorite game. Oh so fun. 

Christmas the McRae Way

We hope you all had a very merry Christmas! Our Christmas was wonderful and relaxing and it was great to just be home! Our break has been filled with sleeping in late (it's going to be a hard change coming back to school), relaxing, snowboarding, Christmas shopping, and not having a schedule. 

~ Our Christmas Eve was very untraditional but special. My family and I piled up in the Suburban and went up to Salt Lake to visit my Grandpa and Grandma (my Grandpa is going through cancer treatments). We were able to talk and have a good time and do our Christmas program there. We then decided we were all too hungry to go home and found one of the only open restraunts in Salt Lake- Macaroni Grill. Delicious.

Santa Clause never misses our house--my dad loves his Christmas lights! Watch out Clark Grizwald!

The star of the morning~ Kyla. She loved her pony!

My not so favorite pic. of us on Christmas morning...but the only one we have. Thankyou for all the wonderful presents family!, especially Santa Clause;)
