Derek & Sarah Kay's Wedding


It's wedding season, and this weekend two of my best friend's got married. I met Derek when I started working at the library, and we became super close last summer. I met Sarah Kay a couple years ago, and I just always thought she was great. Then I had the genius idea to set them up. Every night after Derek took Sarah Kay on a date, he would call me and we would discuss everything that happened, what/how he felt about her, etc. Then the next day at work we would talk about it again, and I told him over and over, "I can't wait till you guys get married." I knew it was going to happen from the beginning. Well it's almost a year later, and they are now a happily new married couple.





They had their reception the night before their actual wedding, which at first I thought was weird, but then I recognized how nice and convenient it was. No hurry, no fatigue, just partying. They're reception was at the Cedar Hills Vista room. It was so beautiful with the huge windows right at sunset.
They posted their story on these boards around the room, and I was the very first word :). 


They next morning we all went to the Draper temple to see them get sealed. It was wonderful, of course. I was so so so happy to be there and to see them so happy together. I actually teared up because of all the happiness.



After a few rounds of pictures at the temple, we went to La Jolla Groves for their luncheon. Have I ever mentioned how much I love La Jolla Groves? It is to die for! 




After the wedding we went home and Clayton left to spend the evening with his dad. I read a book, took a shower, and just relaxed. It was so nice. It's been a great weekend.

    Oh my god! The venue is fantabulous. I have also shortlisted some of the Los Angeles event venues for my wedding day. It was wonderful going through this post. Also, I really like her wedding dress. It is simple and it looks amazing. Congratulations to the newly wedded.

First Day of Kindergarten

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

To Kathy

Image
Last Tuesday we were having a Johnson family conference call when Scott told us that Kathy's health was really going downhill and that he thinks we need to be there soon. We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time ...

Reconstructed ACL

Image
When's the best time to get surgery? January! Because then you hit your deductible, and your health insurance will pay for the rest of the year of physical therapy appointments! Yay! Clayton tore his ACL playing basketball a couple months ago. After an MRI and a few visits with a specialist, he was told that he would need knee surgery. He was surprisingly cheery about it. The nurses at Cleveland Clinic really liked him, they said they wished that every patient was like him. After he was sanitized and hooked up, the nurse led me to the back to see him before the operation. As we were walking she asked me if Clayton is usually a chatty guy. I said yes, and she said that she thinks he's a little nervous because he is talking everyone's ear off. haha. Sure enough, I go sit down next to him, and he's cracking jokes and babbling about nothing the whole time. In fact, that hyper chattiness didn't die down until 3 days post op. Percocet reaction? Everything...
