I am trying to add some things to my blog, like a few more count downs, but it is just NOT NOT working. Grrrrr! Either it is my computer, me or the gadget is just not liking me right now. I am not sure which one it is, but I am not too happy about it. Hopefully if I try to add it later when I get back from Banks Lake, that it will work. If anyone has advice for me it is welcomed.
On a happier note, today has been a very good day. I have packed, cleaned and gotten ready for my trip. I can't wait to go to BANKS LAKE and be with all the wonderful people who come there with us. Unfortunately Tyler can't come because he has work, he is helping his brother, he has a BBQ and is spending time with family this weekend. I will really really miss him, but I understand. I love him SOOOOOO MUCH!

Bridal Shower
My Bridal shower was last night here in my hometown. It was so much fun. My friends Nan and Julie threw it for me adn it was at Patti's house. We played games, ate, and opened presents. It was so good to see all of my friends and family and having all of the girls together again. There were 35 or more people there last night. It was wonderful. Blaire, a photographer, and also Patti's daughter took pictures at the shower. She is also taking pictures of Tyler and I at our reception here in my hometown. I have not gotten the shower pictures from her yet, but I will and when I do, everyone can see them :)

Tyler's House
After surprsing Tyler, we made the drive back to Washington. We stopped to see his brother on Thursday night and spent the night there. We went to Silverwood on Friday with Jeremy and Rachel (thanks guys!) and then drove back to his house on Friday night. I think we got there around 11:30 or something like that. We stayed up and talked with his parents for a while, then headed to bed. It was a long day.
Saturday Tyler was outside working with his Dad most of the day. I read my book and hung out with Emily and her family. We went shooting that night with Emily, Nathan and the kids. I am not very good. I have been before with my Dad, but I am still not a good shot. Oh well, it was fun anyways. (Emily- If you can ask Nathan to send me the picture of Tyler and I, that would be great! )
Sunday we had church and relaxed. It was a good day. My mom came later that night to pick me up. It was a long drive home. There was a big accident on the freeway.
Sorry, Tyler and I have been really bad about taking pictures lately. We will try to be better and I will try to get the one from Emily :)

Surprising Tyler.... Again :)
Okay, so I love surprises and I love to surprise people. So, I flu to see Tyler at school. I got in on Monday night. I made a deal with Chelsea, one of my best friends, that I would spend Monday night with her, because last time I visited I spent almost all of my time with Tyler. She understood, but I decided to give her some Brittany and Chelsea time like the good old days. So we spent Monday night together. A few times I tried to sneak away and go see Tyler, but she always caught me. I did not see Tyler Monday. When Tuesday came, I was DYING to see him. I knew his class schedule and I timed it so I would be able to walk over to his apartment, knock on the door and surprise him that way, with my friend recording it. . . hoping to have a fun memory for later in life.
The plan did not go as we had hoped. I was walking over to my friend Jen's house, who is the manager or Tyler's apartments about 10 or 15 minutes before he was supposed to get out of class. Unforunately as I was walking over there I saw his car. He had gotten out of class EARLY today. I ducked behind another building and he did not see me. I waited for him to go into his apartment before I tried once again to get to Nick and Jen's house. I got over to the parking lot and we were heading to her door, when Tyler walks out of his apartment with a big cup in his hand. He was heading to Horkley's. Dang it! I did not want him to see me, but I had a feeling he did. We hurried into Jen's house, but I knew I was caught. He texted me, which I tried to play off, even though I knew I was caught. I was so bummed! I had been planning this for 2 months! Jen headed over to Tyler's apartment with some manager excuse with my camera in hand. I followed ducking behind things as we got closer. Once again Tyler was suspicious and came outside to check things out. I went behind a truck, but I KNEW he knew it was me this time. Oh well. I kept up the act. Jen and Tyler went inside. The door was still open and Jen motioned for me to come in because Tyler had gone upstairs. I hid in their laundry room and he came back downstairs and said he was leaving to go to IF. CRAP. He is not going there. I know FOR SURE. He knows and because I messed with him, he is messing with me.
I came out of the laundry room and Jen and I knew we were caught. I knew he was not going to IF, so I just waited for him to come back. A moment later, he busted through the door and yelled, " I KNEW IT!" The rest is on the video, enjoy :)

Saturday for Tyler
Tyler floated the river on Saturday with his ward. Yes, he is still in Idaho and I am still in Washington. It is hard to be apart, but it makes us have to communicate really well and we are learning good techniques for in the future if we ever have to be apart. Anyways.....
Ty floated the river and said it was a blast! I have been wanting to float the river here, but it has not been working out. I am glad he can go and do fun things there. He deserves to have fun, even when I am not there with him :) However, he did get sun burnt while he was out there. It is not too bad and he said it does not hurt, so hopfeully it turns into a tan. If I had been there, I probably would have helped him put sun screen on :)

Lakefair Parade
My Dad was an announcer today at the parade. I helped him stay organized, especially when the parade order was all messed up. My mom was there too. It was fun to do the parade again. My Dad and I have been helping with the Lakefair parade in some form for as long as I can remember. I love to be with my Dad. I am a Daddy's girl. It was a good day :)

Crazy Weather Today
This morning around 10am I was planning to go and float a river with a girlfriend. We were super excited, it was sunny and all was wonderful. Except... we went outside and it was NOT warm at all. It was kinda cold. So... we decided to try to wait it out for a while. By noon it was not again and really nice. She had some things she needed to get done and so did I, so we decided that instead of worrying about going to the river, we would go to her lake house. We planned to meet there at 2pm. I got in my car around 1:45pm to head to the lake. It was hot, goregous and I was really excited to get some sunshine. BUT... by the time I got to the lake the weather had changed. It was windy, cold and the sun was hiding behind the clouds. Julie and I layed out anyway for about an hour and a half on the dock (it was not warm enough to be in the water). When we dicided it was too cold and too windy, we got back in the car and drove out to my house. The weather was even worse here. We hoped it would be better but oh well.... Later tonight it was really warm and beautiful. No sunshine, but the perfect summer night. Now... as I look out my window... its raining. Weird weather, but it is home :)
