Black Friday.... I'm Still Recovering.




Thanksgiving! love it! i was so excited for all of the yummy food! Alan and I spent our day down at Jim and Tiff's house (Alan's brother and his wife.) down in Provo. Most of Alans family made it down there, except for Christina and Eric(they live in Boise and had her family over) and Erin and Ryan (They live in Tahoe). My family was all sorts of spread out!  Anyways, the food was good. my nap sucked. 

Every year after Thanksgiving dinner, all of the McEvoys head to the Provo High gym to play basketball (Jim is a teacher and basketball coach there.) 

I didn't want to go that badly, that's when one of Salli's little twins started to feel sick and we decided we would take her to InstaCare (Salli, Kim, Tiffany, and I) This was around 7 p.m.

We were driving through Provo when Sal tried to get one of her doctors to call in a prescription for little Malia to a Walgreens. Long Story short- the doctor didnt call it in for hours(he went to a movie) (while Malia was in pain and crying) we made several trips to walgreens but nope,no call yet.   DUMB. 

Well, we had plans to go to Toys R Us that night for the doorbuster deals at ten p.m. but when we drove past at 7 pm there were already about twenty people lined up! So Tiff decided she would go wait in line while we tracked down medicine, and got it to Malia, made a trip to the house to get lots of blankets and coats! it was-10! 
SO anyways, we got into Toys R US around 10,  (i was mostly just along for the ride, and for fun)
then ran next door to ModBod at 11 for their cheap swimsuits and modest shirts!
Then We drove to Wal-Mart for their midnight doorbuster deals.( all i got was a beard trimmer for Al )

We got to Target at 1:30,and thats where Salli and I waited in line for 3 and a half hours in FREEZING cold weather. My sister, Mo, and Tiff all came back around 3:30. (those punks.) well I got what I wanted!!!!!!!!! i was the third person to rush inside and grab a camera! yay!!! Target was a success...and then I went to bed at 5 a.m. exhausted. and happy. mostly. i couldn't seem to shake that coldness for days after! or the tiredness!

Urban Love.

I got a new skirt. From Urban Outfitters. I have been needing new church clothes for awhile now. All of my church clothes are black or they go to my knee or right above it, and i feel kinda uncomfortable with the black because i'm not going to a funeral. and wearing the shorter ones.( with the g force ) is a NO GO. Also I don't like looking like everybody else at church. NO thanks. i like feeling pretty and sophisticated. AND most importantly, comfy! So this is my new skirt!


Generally when I come home from church I change right into my sweats but today I feel so good I think I will be in it until bedtime almost! So far so good! Except when it got kinda windy on the deck for a second before church, I had a Marilyn Monroe moment. it was not great. I wasn't out there by myself.

Anyways, tomorrow I start school again! STILL working on my generals, and then one day soon, NURSING SCHOOL. scary. kinda. and Alan is on a waiting list at BATC to start the Diesel Mechanics program. i have high hopes for that boy. He is so smart, and such a hard worker!  But i really hope he doesn't get a traveling job... Well being the sophisticated wife I am for the day, I have to go and check on the pot roast I made. Thank you, hold your applause.

Our First Home... that we just moved out of...

First of all, we don't even live in this house anymore. Just moved out about two weeks ago. We lived there for about five months. It was tiny and i loved it! and i'm so excited that our friends Casey and Kelsey are moving in there next week!! They are getting married in a couple of weeks so Kelsey is moving in first. Just like what we did, but Al moved in. Anyways, i'm excited because i liked this house so much I wanna be able to visit!! Here are some pictures...  We painted everything!! The living room was all one cream color. everything! so was the dining room!! and the kitchen cupboards were so terrible! Can you say, gross orange lacquer from the 70's? gah.  anyways...

Sorry Guys. I have no excuse.


I haven't been THAT busy. So we are happily settled into our home in Logan. We are just renting a little house that has been cut in two. So cute. well its cute now... it wasn't! You know that ugly orange lacquered wood that the 70's used to love? We have tons of cupboards  in our house and they were so ugly! So before we got married, Alan had moved in and we sanded them down! took forever!  Especially since I was working all day at Beaver Mountain and then coming straight to the house and working on it till pretty late!.Well we painted them and I will have to take some pictures pretty soon as well as some pictures of our living room that we painted too! For my birthday, June 5th.. we had a big barbecue with lots of friends and family! It was wonderful! Earlier in the week my sister came over ( she is an interior designer) and she helped arrange my living room and get it all ready!! It looked so good for the barbecue! We got a lot of our wedding pictures up on the walls! But we still need a couple more!!  I will take pictures as soon as it gets cleaned up!!

Well last week, I went and took a CNA course in Salt Lake City. It only took a week and it was such a great class. The Teachers were hilarious! Its called ccCNA and I suggest it to everyone that wants to get theirs done!


Recreationally, Alan and I have been playing A LOT of softball. We both play on two teams! We are playing tuesday through thursday! Last summer I hated that he played so much, so this year I learned how to play so we could do it together. I think I have avoided a lot of  boring nights for myself! Well, truthfully I don't know when I will get back on here. :)



p.s. great picture huh??

Married? Nice!

It has now been two weeks and we are officially the McEvoy's! The wedding turned out beautifully and it sure was a wonderful experience. I wouldn't trade that experience in the sealing room for anything. Tears were everywhere! It was a very sweet experience and we will be going back very soon and often! It was really wonderful to have so many people able come to the sealing. Also, there were so many people that helped us for the wedding! It was truly a blessing. About a week before, we were so stressed, (I was, Alan held his composure.)Our families really showed us their love for us. We cannot express our gratitude enough!! The Lord really helped us out, I cannot be more greatful! I have a few pictures from the wedding! Here are a couple!

I am so happy I am picking a wonderful man to marry. because if I had to plan another wedding... well I don't think I would.




Second. Alan and I found a place to live!! Its on 200 S. and about 455 W. it is a cute little house split into two. We will only have one bedroom but... I think we have compromised and decided we will sleep in the same room! ;) It has a pretty big kitchen and a good sized living room. We are currently in the process of painting and redoing the ugly old cupboards!! We of course do not want to do too much to it because we won't be staying for very long I don't think!
Currently we are thinking about moving in August to Suisuin, California so that Alan can go to WyoTech for Diesel Mechanics. He isn't sure if he wants to go to Bridglerland or WyoTech. But if he has to go to WyoTech then we have decided we would rather live in California than LARAMIE, WY!!!!! yuck! I have never been there actually. But it hasn't gotten very good reviews from anyone that I have talked to.
Also, my dad and stepmom live in Suisuin and have offered us a free place to stay. This is just an option but we are seriously considering it as we have only signed an eight month lease. My dress is currently getting altered and I'm so worried about how its going to turn out!!! ahhh!!! so stressful! But I've got lots of wonderful people calling me making sure I am still sane! Thanks Kimmi!!
We also just registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond and Target. I personally don't find registering fun. Neither does Alan I don't think. But we made it through and I THINK we registered for everything we were supposed to... Anyways, here are just a couple more!

Two Months more...


Time is seriously flying by for us. Well it is for me, at least. .
We have purchased my wedding dress, and the dress is currently getting altered.
Alan and I went and consulted with Plant Peddler and got mostly everything worked out for our flowers. Wow. Expensive!
Also, we just got our Engagement pictures taken yesterday! We had Eric Richards do them! He was one of my seminary teachers in high school( I now wish that I would have attended more.) He owns Izlas Photography. I personally think that he is great! a great person and a great photographer! As some of you might know already, Alan is kinda hard to photograph sometimes. He talks whilst the shutter is closing. aka most pictures are of him talking with his lips in weird funny positions! And of course, he is making jokes the whole time and getting me to laugh and not pay attention to the directions from the photographer. This can SOMETIMES make for a good candid picture of us. and I can't always get him to smile that wonderful smile that I love so much. not unless I tickle him or something! 
Well here are a FEW of them that Eric put up just a couple of hours after the shoot!
