Look! In the distance, what could it be?



It's a wedding approaching. All Aboard, It's the final call for the Mark and Amanda Express. We've felt prompted, and decided to move the wedding up to August. August 18th to be exact, at 10:30 AM Bountiful Temple. The temple's set and we are too. We hope this works for all. We love everyone and are excited for this wonderful time.

See you Soon!

A Visit to Aunt Gloria's












Yesterday Aunt Gloria and Uncle Terry invited us over to visit and store some of Mark's things over this summer vacation. They invited me in, hugged me and made me feel like a precious member of the family. Here's a picture of Mark and I in our future dream home! ~Amanda

Graduation


























We got our camera back! Yea! Here are some pictures of Amanda's graduation. She graduated with a Bachelors in Elementary Education on April 7, 2007 from Brigham Young University - Idaho. Her mother, Rebecca, and her father, Robert, came to Rexburg for the event. Amanda's soon-to-be-brother-in-law (that's a lot of hyphens), Jason, was there too. Her sister Muriel will be getting married on June second. Please enjoy the pictures!

The study guide answers to all your questions


Yes, yes, Provo... allow me to back up and endulge y'all with a story. During finals week and packing I got this call from mom and dad... or rather a short email saying they wouldn't be able to make it to take me home. We had the addition of Cute Baby Gabriella, to our family and they were helping out there. I panicked at first but then, I realized wait a second I took a grey hound from Boise to Everett on my own when my flight got canceled over Christmas break. I can do this.

So The plan was to get me to Susie and Jay's I'd stay with them. Amand and her wonderful parents helped me to pack and loaded me up and we made our way down to Utah. I stayed with Susie and Jay for a week but felt it would be for the best if I found a place of my own. I picked up a spring summer contract at Park Plaza... if any of you know where that's at... it's about 5 blocks from Susies... or so. Amanda lives in the same complex. We've both had to relocate in the complex due to renovation... so much moving around!!!! We go running up to the temple and back periodically. Just this week Amanda started a full time sub job at the school she's hired at in the fall. I only see her at nights.

It's hard but it helps me focus on the Online Accounting class i'm taking... 1 class shouldn't be terrible. But I can't count the number of times i've heard people give their condolences, saying that I'm going to die and it's the #1 program in the country and perhaps the world. I'll survive... I'd better. Mom and dad Rigby should have landed at their desitnation by now. So I'll see them in 3 weeks when I fly home back to WA.

PS Write a comment or email me with any blog url's or cool family websites so I can attempt to link them to my blog.
