10 year reunion

It is hard to believe I am this old but I had my 10 year high school reunion. In true Keeley fashion I couldn't attend the reunion where I actually graduated. Oh no! After attending 3 different High Schools in 3 different states I decided the only reunion I wanted to attend was the school where I spent the most time and knew the people the best. So I went to New York! Go Blue Devils! It was great to see everyone, especially since I hadn't seen any of them since freshman year. It was amazing to see people who I remembered as little 14 yr olds who were now all adults. I had such a great time. I also had a great girl's weekend with two of my favorite girls in the world! My oldest and dearest friends: Aleta and Joleen! It was an amazing weekend, but I have had my fill of reunions. Wow! We are all grown up. What a great night!

This was my crush from 3rd-9th grade :) It was so funny to see him, and not awkward at all. It was great to catch up with everyone. (Can you tell it was seriously humid???)



Later we had a bonfire and smores. This happens to be an enormous strawberry flavored marshmallow.





Yum!!!! (I really like how my nails look here! Why can't they look that good all the time???)







There is nothing like a good bonfire. I was wishing my family was with me to enjoy it.









Nate's Birthday 2010

Nate turned 34 last year and we had a fun, small at home family gathering. He requested chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and strawberries on top. But the kids wanted them plain so I made some of each.





We always love a reason to have treats!





Look how happy he is to be 34! ;) Or maybe it is the yummy cupcakes?








Yep, must be the cupcakes.








We all enjoyed them.











The kids had fun choosing shirts for dad.













Can you guess who chose this one???















This one was pretty awesome too.

















I bought him his favorite movies on DVD. It is about time!



















He got some great workout clothes from my parents. He had a great birthday. I love you honey!





















Summer fun!

So I am starting where I left off in January. Hopefully I can get all of last year done before teh baby comes, and then I can be current. So here are some posts for last summer.

Thanks to our friends the Crouch's my children were able to go on a tube ride for the first time ever! You can tell they are kind of nervous, but they eventually warmed up to it and loved it! I of course stayed safely in the boat away from the yucky lake water :)

Just look at how excited they are!

So much to CELEBRATE!!!

I am BACK! I took a little hiatus because school was seriously intense this semester (5 upper division classes, 14 books to read, many essays to write), but now it is ALL OVER. I almost can't believe it myself! I am a college graduate!!!!! I can't believe how long this journey has been, and how much I have grown in the process. It has been difficult for all four of us, but it was worth it.

I am so happy to be done. Every day I wake up and think "I could do anything today!". The only problem with that is that I am now 36 weeks pregnant and not as full of energy as I was. Not only that but this boy has dropped already, which makes it very hard to walk. So I am not quite as productive as I planned. Also, I need him to stay in there at least one more week so we won't have to worry about preemie troubles. I feel very content and proud of what I have done. And I am so excited to embark on the next phase of my life: mother of 3 here I come! :)

Graduation Dinner

Nathan graduated from internship over the summer and moved up to being a full-fledged resident! Let the countdown begin :) We had mexican and he got a sort of diploma. Then there was a dinner for the Residents who were graduating (Nate was not included) but it was fun to go and support them and have a nice dinner. The picture below is from the Resident dinner, luckily Nate and Ben Crouch are in the same program which is great because Ben and Sarah and some of our closest friends. We had a great dinner and a great time.

It's a Runners World

Soooo...I never thought I would ever say this...but I ran a 5k! It was so great! I started running in March of this year when my little sister told me she was training for a half marathon. Not to be outdone I of course had to start running. Which I haven't done since High School. But we had already bought a treadmill, so what the heck? I also got some friends from church to run with me, so it was a lot of fun. Nate finished a few minutes before me and then ran back to get me, isn't he sweet? Corbin was really proud of us.
Nate got 2nd place in his age group. It was also his first race. Go Nate!

This is my friend Jessica who ran it with me. She and I run at the same pace so it worked out great for both of us.






Here are the other friends from church who ran the race. It was a great event, and a beautiful day. I am really surprised at how much I like doing races. I am hoping to do a half marathon in the next few years. There are definately more races in my future.




Good times with former sisters

This summer we were fortunate enough to have a former sister missionary from our ward in Chicago come to MSU to teach. We loved having her over. She is a great singer/songwriter and was happy to help Corbin play the guitar, which he LOVED! I even captured some of their singing on video. I hope it works, I have never put a video on here before :)
