I never told you...

how beautiful you look tonight.

Whilst in St. George we took a jaunt around Dixie mountian.
The following pictures are real life:

It's how It's done

in 117 degree (!!!!) St. George heat there are only a few things that you can do...
and staying in the A.C.ed condo was not one of them.
pool...yes.
cold watermelon...yes.
sand volleyball...yes...but only after cute boys hose it down.
golden spoon and a gallon of lemonade for lunch...yep

Rave On

B&L took off to VA today.
E threw an ice cream party for them last week.
These pictures are the result of pre-partying...3 girls, a cluster of balloons, and a camera. doi. What did you think we'd do?
Then we after-partied with extra ice cream.
Gonna miss B&L and Fam ALL the time.
Already do.

Saw M. Ward a few hours ago. What are you gonna do about it?

Roids from the Road

Havasupai.
Remember?
Ya, it was a month ago. I totally understand.
We took the 'roid on the road with us and snapped some pleasing shots.

Before!


After!



Hoover Dam!



St. George

Ring of Fire

How do I describe these moments?
Moments when my family is all together in the backyard we grew up in.
When the fire is aflame.
On a warm summer night.
Oh.
ya.
Perfection.

That's Ms. Metcalf to you

I got offered a job today.
I'm taking a job as a first grade teacher!
I feel entirely blessed about the whole situation.
The way things came together and all fell into place this week is truly amazing.
Lucky for me I'll be teaching with my roommate Kimberly---she teaches 3rd grade at the same school.
For the next few weeks I'll be in a furry preparing my classroom. GAH! I just got sweaty palms and a quicker pulse just thinking about it.
I taught first grade in student teaching...remember...here and here. I had the best cooperating teacher. I just wish I could have had more time with her!

Didn't you know...

Outdoor movies are major.
Snow Cones are too.
