Tan Fan Makes a Return

We didn't want Tanner to think that just because he is graduated and no longer playing sports that we weren't his biggest fans anymore. So when he came home late one night from playing with friends, he found this in his bed.

Just for Gentry hahaha ok and everyone else too

Ok, so it has been a while since my last post I know..but I just don't know what to post these days because it seems like my life has been work lately. So here it is, a long boring post about work! If you hate this, blame Gentry because she wanted to know what my doings were lately haha...Since I have moved home I have been living in the pharmacy, atleast it feels that way. I have moved I have been working a TON. My hours kinda vary,but i've been putting in about 50 hours a week...sometimes more, sometimes less. I can't complain though, because the paychecks have been nice and I definitely need the money! Working at a pharmacy in a small town is sometimes a little crazy though haha...I just love running into everyone and their dogs from Emery county (catch the sarcasm?)..but it really is a great job. I like what I do and I like who I work with, seeing as how most of my co-workers are my family :) Other than work, my summer in emery county has been pretty good! I have just been hanging with my family alot, which is so nice...I never get to see them when I'm down at school so it's nice to spend a lot of time with them. (for the most part haha) Not a ton of people are around this summer, I think there was more last summer..but I still have enough friends around to hang out with and that has been fun too! I've also just been getting stuff ready for school next fall..I decided I will be living in Provo and commuting a few nights a week to Draper for my classes. I know its a little bit of a drive, but I don't have to do it every day or anything..I have quite a few friends in the Provo slash Orem area, so I think I will just have more fun living there..Hopefully I will be able to find a good job at a pharmacy in that area too! I'm definitely getting excited to move, it's going to be completely different from what I'm used to because I've been down south forever, but I think it'll be a good change!

Dancing with the Stars Application

Since I have moved home, I have quickly realized that to survive in this household, I must take a liking to Dancing with the stars. I used to like the show, like 3 seasons ago.....not it has just gotten old for me, I'm a little sick of it. But the family is huge into it, so every monday I am forced to watch it. Well me and Brandon decided that we honestly have the right moves and style so its time to just go for it. So here is our video we are going to send in as part of our application to dancing with the stars. Maybe you will see us on there next season, who knows!

SUU Graduation 2010

So this last weekend was my graduation from SUU. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. Can I just say....Wahoo!!!!! I am so excited. It feels so good to have accomplished this. It is definitely crazy to be at this point in my life though, it makes me feel very old although I know I am not. It was such a nice weekend though..All of my family was able to make it down for the ceremonies and it meant so much to me. I have such an awesome family, I love them! The next stage of my life is a little scary, but also very exciting at the same time. Who knows what will come my way? haha...But hopefully I'll figure it out soon :)

Just Some Pics from Events of Late

Who You've Always Been--Sheri Dew/Katherine Nelson

So a girl that lives next door to me made this video and I think its just amazing so I wanted to share it. She took all the photos and edited it with music and words from an inspiring talk from Sheri Dew. It has such a good, strong message about knowing who we are. I am so grateful to know who I am and what my purpose is. Sometimes in this world it is hard to remember that and things can be distracting. Sometimes it is easy to get down on ourselves for our weaknesses or to be discouraged because of trials. But knowing that we have a purpose and a mission in life, that we have a heavenly father who loves us and understands, makes it possible for us to overcome anything that we face. I actually had the opportunity yesterday to listen to Sheri Dew speak in person! She came to SUU and gave a fireside for the Relief Society sisters. It was incredible! I love Sheri Dew and have read several of her books. What an amazing sister! She has such a way of reaching out to the sisters and letting us know of our divine potential and influence. She spoke to us about how important we are as sisters and daughters of God. How important we are as woman. She talked to us about the importance of knowing who we are and what we are supposed to do. I know that as a daughter of God I can have an amazing influence on the people around me and I want to constantly strive to be aware of that fact. Anyways, sorry for this long post because the main focus of this post is the video. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Remember to pause my playlist at the bottom of the screen :)

Oh the places the Tan Fan has been....

Soo...lots of pics and I can't figure out how to write next to each one. So hopefully you'll get the gist for each one. This last weekend so was sooo much fun! I absolutely love spending time with my family and watching my little brother play basketball. He is such a talented athlete and fun to watch. This weekend was state basketball and his team ended up taking 4th, which is pretty good, I am very proud of him! After Thursday's win, me and Lace were catching the emery fever and tanner pride haha, so we decided that night to go all out for their next game, since they were playing to see who would go to the championship game. So we made some way sweeet t-shirts, too bad we didn't take pics of us in them that was dumb! But all of the siblings had a t-shirt with tanner's number and something else on it, such as i'm a tan fan, tan is the man, we love tan, "poke", "roni", etc..we also decided to make what we like to call the "Tan Fan". we blew up a 8 by 10 of tanner's head and taped it to a ruler. Everytime Tan did something good in the game we would wave the Tan fan at him, it was HILarious! and a big hit I might add. We had alot of fun Thursday with the Tan fan and took him all around Provo..we definitely weirded some cars out by sticking it out the window while passing...So here is some of the different places the Tan fan has been..
