I'm officially Nancy Huckvale

I went and sat at the drivers license division for two hours today next to a man that smelled like feet.  As "C-285" was finally called, I jumped up to meet the nice lady for my turn.  I commented on how busy it was and she said, "Mondays are normally busy, but I have never seen the place this packed before in my life!"  Great. The ONE DAY I choose to go get my name changed on my license...  oh well!

I am officially Nancy Huckvale! Hoorah!  


No more trouble trying to get past security at the airport! No more problems at the bank! No more mis-pronouncing "ROUSH" .. well...  actually I think more people say Huckvale wrong than they ever did Roush.  Either way, I'm glad to get that out of the way. 

One more thing checked off my to-do list. :)

Summer Time and the Livin's Easy


Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce my summer break has begun! (Angels bust out singing in the background) After completing six finals this week, I came home on Thursday, ripped off my clothes, and slept. ( always sleep in my undies because I get too hot. And I don't like being all struggled and tight in clothes. And being told I have to wear em.) And boy did I sleep. I slept for the next four hours and when I woke up I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep.


The next day, Friday, I slept in (ahhhhh), planned to take a little package to the post office so I decided I'd take Cosmo out and walk over then and then go for a run at Murray Park after but I forgot the package at home so we just went for the run...... for about five minutes before I came across a big sign with an arrow pointing at FARMERS MARKET. Cosmo and I went over and helped ourselves to some free yummy food like bread n berries and watermelon (yum!) and then walked home. Drove the package to the post office. Came home. Took a nap. Woke up and played with Cosmo. Watched the Simpsons. Hung out with Jonno. Took another nap. And the rest of the night I spent kinda dilly dallying around.
It was sooo great! And not ONCE did I feel bad about not doing something productive like... oh I dunno... STUDYING. Ah, I loveee breaks from school.

Don't get me wrong, I love school n all but it sure is nice to have a break every now and again.

Saturday morning was one of my best friend's (the new Mrs. Linzee Cardall) wedding down at the Manti Temple. Jonathon's temple recommend expired the DAY BEFORE (of course) so he didn't come. I had never been to this temple before and it was really pretty. We went to Aurora after for the reception and all of Linzee's new husband's family and friends could not believe this little town. They were in awe that they had a horse and lambs in their backyard. (okay, okay so I was just like them when I went down three weeks ago!)
Oh, and they have a pet deer they found named Buck. He is like a little dog. He doesn't leave the yard and eats all the flowers and they feed him out of a bottle.. he's so sweet. They put a red bow around his neck for the wedding!

The entire day was perfect.. if only Jonathon was there. :( I hate going to weddings without him. Oh well.

I don't own a camera (it's on our to-do list for one day when we actually have money) so I don't have any pictures but our friend from school Chelsea was the photographer so I'll put some up from her when I can. But Linzee and Wes are such a great, beautiful couple and I'm soooooooo happy for them to start their new little family together! Yay!

Also, Jonathon and I got called to be Sunday School teachers for the 12-14 year olds at church. Today was our first lesson and I loved it. These kids are so innocent and sweet. Last week when we sat in at the other teacher's last lesson, during the closing prayer the boy said "Thank you for our new teachers. Please bless them that they can do a good job..." And it made my heart melt. I am determined to be the best darn Sunday School teacher for them that I can be. I have so much love in my heart for them already. I'm really happy to finally have a calling too! :)


PHEW!


Okay, well there was a recap from the last few days. Now that it is summer, I'll hopefully post more. Though, I'm pretty sure I end every post with that, and it never happens. But I'll really try! Okay.... bye!


Oh, I'm also going to try to get Jonathon to post too. He is a really good writer and person too.. he's really funny and cute and sweet and fun and great (can't you tell I'm married to him?) and he got a posting bloggy name thingy just for the purpose of posting but he's been real busy with school too. Maybe between the two of us we'll be able to get SOMETHING up every month or so. K. Love you all. Er, all two of you.

Love, Nauncy








This is me, Chelsea, BILLY, and Lana

Do you recognize Billy??

He is the blind kid from Dumb and Dumber that says "Pretty bird"
He was part of Wes's band that played at the wedding.




Here is a picture of me and Buck. Isn't he cute?! He's like Bambi.. but real and cuter! Real cuter!
This is from Linzee's bridal shower a few weeks ago.

Aw, I miss him. :( I think everyone should own a Buck. Do you think my apartment would allow him??

Linda, maybe if dogs don't tickle your fancy, a deer definitely would. Just take some time to think about it. I'll go catch you one myself.
