GRE

in the spirit of keeping my options open, i signed up today to take the GRE on july 16th. in case you didn't realize, that is only two and a half weeks away. it's the day before my family reunion starts and four days before i leave the country for two weeks.

i REALLY need to refresh my memory on all the algebra 1 and geometry that i learned six years ago.

G4L

hail the conquering heroes... my cousins are back from their missions! alec and tanner, who served in the rio de janeiro north mission and california riverside mission respectively, both returned this last week. it's only the main thing that i've been counting down for for the last two years. we'll all be back at byu in the fall and the myres family will again take over provo!

elder myres is clearly back to being himself again.



now that they're home, i'm just counting down for a certain sister fairweather to come home. 1/3 of the way done!

it's the end of spring term

and i couldn't be happier about it. for some reason, i just couldn't make myself care about my schoolwork at all this semester. luckily, i had the easiest classes i've ever had in college, including marriage prep, grammar, and psychology at the salt lake center.

my two classes in provo were pretty standard, but not difficult... but i don't really know how to explain how ridiculous the salt lake class was other than by showing you this blog post by alexandra, another girl from our class. clearly, the only way to stay awake is for me to do su do ku constantly and tommy and alex to take pictures of each other on their respective computers.

all i can say is, thank goodness it's ending.

and tomorrow, it's off to california! woop woop!

practice engagement pictures

my good friend whitney, who threw my bridal shower, took some practice engagement pictures for tommy and i a few weeks ago. these are some of my favorites. but to see more, go to her blog here. she is great!






when we go home to irvine on friday, my other good friend kylie is going to be taking our actual engagement photos while we are there. she is a rising star in the photography world, let's be honest. check her out.

bridal showers galore!

i had a great weekend--there was a bridal shower on thursday, friday and saturday haha. the one on friday happened to be mine! my good friends whitney and mary jane were stars and hosted it for me, and we had such a great time. thank you to everyone who came! (and thank you muchly whit and mj!)

one of the greatest things was having a mini-Spain reunion: eight of us were there! it was awesome. viva espana!

so excited

tommy and i are going to U2 on october 20th in Arizona, and to see BILLY JOEL and ELTON JOHN on november 20thish in Salt Lake. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. who said that getting married means you don't have any more fun?? (lots of people have said that, actually...)

seeing billy joel is the number 1 thing on my list of things to do before i die. it even comes before doing a triathlon or learning sign language. i am psyched.

p.s. we ordered our wedding invitations yesterday and they are AWESOME.

america's funniest home video

it makes me laugh so hard! i kid you not. moments like that must make the hard times of having quadruplets worth it. thanks, camille, for showing that to me.

wedding cake

the thing that I am really excited for is our wedding cake in Utah. I know people probably don't usually have a cake at both of their receptions, but the place that we're doing the reception at up here basically gives it to us, so we chose one that kind of looks like this:



well, it's a little bit different. it doesn't look so fat and all the layers will be separated. it's going to be a good-tasting wedding cake. and there WILL be strawberries on each of the layers.
