Passed the LEED exam!

The morning of the exam -- looking chipper and ready to roll (looks like he's heading off to his first day of college or something). Just hope there's still a smile in 3 hours!

Yep - 3 hours later, still smiling. He passed!  (the balloons are to celebrate!!!)

So, Allan has officially become a LEED AP (accredited professional).  LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a rating system established by the US Green Building Council for distinguishing and certifying buildings, construction projects, and developments as sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally smart. It's a great credential to have...and the first letters Allan can officially put after his name.  Now it's on to the LARE for Landscape Architecture licensing, which will take a couple years (five sections to the exam). 

Goodbyes, Mall and Herb Gardens!

Hello all,

So today was a crazy Saturday we went to a baptism, then to a farewell party for Matt and Ami Moffitt. We are so sad that they are leaving but we are excited for them to start their new adventure in AZ. Watch out for those scorpions. Then some of us ladies went to the mall-it was really fun. Unfortunately the only thing I came out with was some anti-bacterial soap from Bath and Body works (thanks Mckell for getting me hooked on the stuff).

Then when I got home Allan made some tuna melts and it was exciting because I really wanted some parsley for the tuna and then (drum roll please) I remembered we have a little herb garden and the parsley has gotten so big. So Allan and I went out on our patio and snipped some fresh parsley and chives. It was so much fun-I know that sounds lame but if you have an herb garden you know how it feels. So that was our crazy Saturday.

Corinne's Tap and Jazz Dance Class Performance

So, you may not believe it, but these two girls didn't know what a shuffle was in September of last year. 8 months of classes and they're looking great!

This is the jazz dance I choreographed. They had a lot of fun with it and they loved the song Thoroughly Modern Millie. They did great for only coming 1 hour a week! Enjoy!

Happy 5th year Wedding Anniversary!

Allan and I were married in the castle by the bay on June 4th, 2004 in the Oakland, CA Temple. It was one of the most beautiful days and started off a wonderful marriage. Allan and I have always been two peas in a pod. We love being together and are grateful for all the time we have shared.  We met dancing in the Dancers Company at BYU and haven't stopped since. Allan is the love of my life and is my perfect match. We are the witness to each others lives and will continue to be together not to "death do us part" but for all eternity. We are grateful for our Temple marriage that allows us to sealed together forever and all the blessings that it brings. 

So everyone do something special for your spouse!! Give them a note on the mirror or get up and actually make their lunch for work (like I finally did today) or just give them a Coach bag! Hahaha

 Here are some pictures from the big day that was 5 big years AGO! Our beautiful 1920's inspired wedding!
