Em's graduation!


On May 8, 2010, EMILY GRADUATED from NAU!

She got her BS in Parks and Recreation Management. She is still working on her internship but will be completely done and ready for the real world by the end of summer! We got to go to Flagstaf for the weekend (Taylor had to stay home and work... yuck!) It was a nice graduation ceremony then we went to Outback Steakhouse then back to our hotel, The Little America. It was nice to be able to spend the weekend with the family! We are so proud of Emster!

On Sunday we went to a formal brunch at the hotel for Mother's day!

The Survival trip!

vhe last weekend of April Taylor and Patricia went on a 3 day 2 night survival trip! We were each allowed 1 sleeping bag, a poncho, 2 water bottles, a knife, and a tin cup. We made our own shelter and started our own fire and ate off the land. It was a grueling 6 hour hike in and miserable 4 hour hike out. It pushed us to the end of rope and then pushed a little more! The second night we were solo, so we had to make our own fire, set up our own shelter. I am not sure what was worse, the cold, the fact we were with 10 strangers trying to pull together as a team, the rugged terrain, the lack of food, the lack of sleep, or just being pushed so far out of your comfort zone! But we made it and we are stronger because of it! The good news is that neither of us fought with each other the whole time! It was cool to see how we really came together as a couple and helped each other. Especially Taylor, he was so survival trip. o protective! As hard as it was I definitely recommend it for all people, especially newlyweds!


Taylor realized AFTER he had built his shelter that there 2 ant hills on either side of him. So he made a deal with the ants that of they ate him he would eat every last one of them! (Yes he really would have... he was snacking on a different colony earlier that day)! Luckily no ants were harmed as a result of revenge The last weekend of April Taylor and Patricia went on a survival trip. TAYLOR SNACKING ON ANTS!


Greenwood Wedding!

On April 24th, Erin got married to Willie Greenwood! They had a beautiful wedding in Las Vegas! We got there Saturday morning due to Taylor's work schedule so we missed all the fun with the bachelor/bachelorette parties. But we got
to ride in stretch hummer to the chapel from Willie's sister's house. The minister was a perfect Vegas minister with his deep southern draw. But he had some very nice things to say and Erin and Willie wear beaming with happiness! It was a beautiful ceremony!

It was fun to be able to spend a few night in Vegas! We gambled alot but luckily did not loose a lot! Patricia even won $50 at BINGO!The Fountains at the Belagio were my favorite! This is a view from the top of the Eiffel Tower!
