Blake and I were apart for 50 days exactly until he drove in to Oregon on Wednesday the 15th! I was so excited to see my fiance!
That same day was the funeral of my Cousin Brittany Wilson. I will miss her so much. she was always so nice to me. we have had a lot of fun times together with sleepovers, at family get togethers etc. she would sing/ talk along with the movies we watched. she was always so happy. I know that she is happier now. she can enjoy a body in full. she can be with grandma Hedman too!
Blake and I reunited and then went to the temple to recieve my endowments. The temple was a beautiful place! i had a trouble at the recommend desk but they finally let me through :) Everyone was very welcome at the temple :) I even got a name tag! and my own locker. Mom showed me the bridal room. it was beautiful. I then did initories. afterwards a temple worker talked to us about next week. we then went to do the endowment. on the way I ran into Grandpa Hedman!! how special! I just love my Grandpa. Being in the temple I dont know if I understood it all this time around but i did know without a doubt that this was the house of God. This is where my heavenly father wanted me to be. Our heavenly father loves us so much. I had alot of family support me including mom, dad, blake, jean, kim, larry, peter, cilla, breanne, gaylene and sherry.
After the temple we went to sweet tomatos...we are with the hoovers and dickinsons. Our families were able to meet and get to know one another a little.

Its Rafting day! everyone this rafting day was pretty crazy. we had lots of fun. all the rapids were very different this year. devils hole was non existant, elevator was little too. but the one we were not prepared for is because the water was sooo high oaks springs was huge! every boat flipped except one! it was so weird to see everyone floating along. my soon to be mother in law -jean broke her leg. yikes! we did the water slides and those were fun this year nice and high. over all ...very fun trip...wish no one got hurt tho.

Friday and saturday june 17-18:
Its running time!!! we had the epic relay with blake, dad, larry, david, paul, peter, jimmy, john, sherry, michael, andy, cory, and aaron.
Alot of people were booking it! when I ran the first run was in the middle of the day... in the dead of the sun. oh boy did not training and the sun get to me. I am so glad I had blake run with me! he kept me going!! Then we went to silvercreek falls. that was fun! we walked under a fall and hiked around. we also played some frisbee. then it was time to get on the road again. we realized we were going to be back in time for mine and blakes run! oh no! we hurried and hurried and found shortcuts and made it just in time! this was our night run! we bascially got out of the car and then were running. we had some hills in this one especially one big one. while running we go up a big one and blakes says ' we finished the big one'... i am so excited and feel like we half way. later to find out that was NOT the big one. haha here it came. the car drove by to honk and see how we were doing. i got excited and started dancing.. well i was a little to close to the side of the road that i fell off it and scaped my knee and hand. we kept running and thats when i started feeling light headed and tired. i wanted to sleep. poor blake had to keep me going once again. at the very end the car picked me up thinking i just couldnt finish it when i got in the car the end was just around the corner...doh. I found out afterwards i was bleeding alot from the fall. through out the whole trip blake did not only help me but he would push others to run too. he ran with peter and john to keep them going or to make them faster. way to go blake! probably should of had him train more. the last run was a shorter one. we ran the whole thing with some sprinting at the end. we held toliet paper for people to end there races with - to run through. we would give water and meet up with the other van a little to. we also stopped at subway to eat. at night we slept on grass of a school ground. we also had mcdonalds in the mornign. dad was the last runner so half way through his run the whole team joined him and we ran to the finish line together! arrrrrrrr! the byu pirates finished! what alot of fun. afterwards we ate some BBQ pork sandwhiches, listened to a band and danced.
blake met will for the first time at home
That night my friend anna came in town and Blake and I joined cathleen to practise riding her horse. the horse was alittle scared but eventually made it work.
after dropping off blake i came home and... found out lucy threw me a surprise party!!! Katelin minetto, christine sickles, cathleen sickles, lucy and anna were there! we played games - pretty kitty, and copy me game. we play kiss the kiss on the blake. we had food and snacks. they dressed me up in a wedding dress aka toliet paper. there even made me a toliet paper bouquet. I threw the bouquet to them! I then showed off my real wedding dress! we then had beauty time and did a face mask as well as nails! what fun!!! Thank you lucy! I love being with my girls!

I loved that Blake liked it too!
