Since I'm always helping and super busy at all the Cinderella preliminaries, I hardly ever get a chance to take any pictures. But I got a couple this weekend at the Weber County Prelim. It turns out, a couple members of my royalty (when I was the State Woman) were competing. Stefani and Ashley were my State Miss and Teen. And they both won Saturday as Teen and Woman! I was so proud of them! We got an "old royalty" photo after they were both crowned. I love you guys!

Athletic Training Convention
This past weekend I attended my first athletic training convention as a certified athletic trainer! A convention may sound kinda boring, but I loved it! I really enjoyed being able to interact with other athletic trainers and learn from other professionals. The cool thing was that we met up with several other former and current athletic training students and professors who were all from Southern Utah University! Our professor said that it was the highest number of former SUU students they have ever had at one conference! We were able to enjoy a lunch together and it was fun meeting up with old SUU AT students. Go Thunderbirds!

Four Years!
I know this may be kinda cheesy, but I don't care. April 17 will be the four-year mark of when Tommy and I STARTED DATING! (Remember that day, Kels? Haha!) Wow, I can't believe it's been four years! It's flown by, but it's been the best four years of my life! I love you, Sweetie!
Happy Easter!
Hope everyone had a great Easter! Tommy and I had a blast at his parent's house in Hurricane as some of us got together for a family party, complete with the famous outdoor Douglas Easter Egg Hunt! Our nieces and nephews are SO CUTE! I love them! Thanks for a great time everyone!
Jenny made these adorable Easter cupcakes!
You are so creative, Jen! Love ya!

Our cupcakes...right before they got eaten!
Yum!
I miss it!
So, I'm totally going through withdrawals from competing in college gymnastics! I know that it was simply time to move on and I am excited to step into the next stage of my life...but I just didn't realize that I would miss it this much! It was such a huge part of my life! However, I have definitely been keeping close tabs on my SUU team this year and I couldn't be more proud of them! I am so proud to be a former member of the "Flippin' Birds"! I was looking through some of my old gym pics and I just had to post a few old photos of me and my girls! I...LOVE...THE T-BIRDS!
Tommy's Birthday!
On February 13, Tommy turned 25!! I surprised him that morning with breakfast in bed! Unfortunately, I had to spend most of the day at work, but after I got off work, I sent him on a surprise birthday scavenger hunt around St. George. The hunt took him around to some of our favorite places to shop and eat and he got a special treat at each place. It ended at one of our favorite Japanese and sushi restaurants...Samurai 21, where I was waiting anxiously for him! Before we sat down for dinner I gave him his gift, the newest John Grisham novel, THE ASSOCIATE. (He has recently become an avid John Grisham fan and it makes me really happy to see him enjoying reading so much!) After an amazing (and expensive) hibachi dinner, we headed home and he was greeted with a decorated living room and chocolate cake. Sorry...unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of his special day. Hopefully I'll remember the camera next time!
Happy birthday, Sweetie! I love you!
Christmas in Las Vegas!
Tommy and I spent Christmas in Las Vegas with my family from Hawaii! We stayed at Circus Circus and had a fabulous time! (Thank you Tutus!) It was really great spending time with our aunties, uncles, cousins, and Tutus! We ate, played games, ate, had a picture scavenger hunt around Vegas, ate, played at the AdventureDome, ate, took family photos, and...oh yeah, we ate a lot! Haha! We also watched the amazing Hawaiian singing group, Makaha Sons, in a Christmas Eve concert. It was all over way too soon! But as we step into 2009, we continue to be reminded of how precious our relationships with our family members are! Thank you to everyone for a wonderful Christmas! We love you all!

Cinderella Slideshow
As most of you know, the Cinderella Program has become a major part of our lives. Check out our Cinderella slideshow below to catch a glimpse of all the fun we had at State and Internationals this year in 2008!
Life in St. George
Finally...all of you who constantly wonder what Tommy and I are always up to can now keep up with what's going on in our busy lives!
Tommy is a full-time student and finishing up his Master's of Business Administration right now through SUU. If you want to find him, he can usually be found at his computer, buried under piles of homework. However, he is doing a great job at trucking along and, if everything goes as planned, he will graduate in the spring (YEAH!). He has officially begun his job search and is looking for opportunities to jumpstart him into his career. When he's not doing homework (and if his eyes are not too glazed over from the computer screen), Tommy enjoys mountain biking among the red cliffs that St. George is so famous for. (As most of you know, I'm not exactly an "outdoor girl", so he's usually on his own for those bike rides!)
I'm...well, I am definitely going through withdrawals from gymnastics! It's so weird not having it part of my life! And I miss it like crazy! But I suppose I'll eventually get over it. I am currently working at Advanced Physical Therapy in the Balance Center. (So if anyone is feeling dizzy or unbalanced, talk to me and I'll hook you up for balance therapy!) I'm also working partly at Dixie State College as an athletic trainer. I am in the process of trying to become certified...so cross your fingers for me! I've been studying like crazy! A major part of my life has included my new role as the Royalty Coordinator for the Utah State Cinderella Scholarship Program, which I love! I've been able to travel around the state, working closely with our awesome state royalty. I have also begun writing a free online newsletter for the Utah Cinderella Program, called THE ROYAL CARRIAGE. (If anyone wants a subscription...let me know!) It's a lot of work, but I definitely love it! (I do the writing, Tommy takes care of the imaging.)
Well, there's a brief recap of what's going on with us...we'll try to update as much as possible. We hope to keep in better contact with all our friends and family! We love you guys!
