My rockin' brother


I don't know that I've mentioned my brother on the blog before. Grady lives in St. George and is pretty busy so sometimes I don't even hear what he's up to. But last week my mom called and told me she'd just gotten home from his wedding! I haven't met his wife, Kristen, but I've seen pictures and they look so happy. I can't wait to meet her next time I go to St. George. I'm just so thrilled with the picture that Kristen has just sent me. Grady is so cool, and this picture really shows that. Grady has such a likeable personality... always so funny! Whenever I watch American Idol and see Ryan Seacrest, I feel like I'm watching my brother. Well, here's the picture. And congrats to Grady and Kristen! Best wishes for a happy marriage!
It's been a lousy week for us, so at least I have the wedding to report on. Nolan and Justin caught colds and then I followed soon after. It seemed like it would be a short thing for all of us, but my sore throat kept getting worse and worse. Finally after 4 days I went to the Urgent Care. The strep test was negative but he found some sores (like canker sores) lining the top of my throat. No wonder I was in such pain! Apparantly they are triggered by stress after having a cold. Stress? Well, I didn't realize I was stressed but I just started a new BYU English course (Compiling Personal History) and received a new calling at church. Justin and I were Primary teachers but now I'm the 2nd counselor in Young Womens. So I guess I could have been a bit more stressed out than I realized. This morning (Wednesday) is the first day that I've finally put away all the cough drops and Chloraseptic spray... not that they helped all that much anyway. It will be nice to eat normal again!

I'm so glad that you are all well again. Congrats on the new calling!! I think it would be a blast to be in YW. I'm sure you'll do great.

I am so sorry, being sick is the PITS. I know, I was sick last week with food poisening. Yes, never get a tuna sandwich from Quizno's, they're evil. Anyways, glad you and I are both feeling better. I will e-mail you, just haven't had the time. I know that is a lousy excuse! I will make the time!!! Love ya Kenz, Ash!!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. It's crazy that colds are going around in the summer. I'm still trying to get rid of all my symptoms (3 weeks & counting)

Should we say congratulations on your new calling (or on losing the old one!)
