Hooper Wedding #3

When I decided I wanted to be a Wedding Planner my reasoning was simple: I wanted to make sure everyone had a wonderful wedding day. The happiness, excitement, and memories that surround the joyous occasion of a wedding is astounding. I just love how no one can have a mad or unhappy face at a wedding. You look around and its nothing but smiles. It’s even better when youre looking at familiar family faces.

Two weeks ago Brice and I were able to take time off and go back to Utah for a Hooper Family Wedding. It was great to see all the family and friends that have been accumulated by the Hoopers over the years, but it was even better to see Anson and Laura sealed for time and all eternity.
Laura we are so happy that you are now a Hooper. We love you so much and you are just perfect for Anson. Anson, Congrats! You picked an amazing girl! We hope your lives together are everything you could have ever dreamed of.

Til Next Time!

Vacation: All I've Ever Wanted....HaHa Youre Singing the Song Now Aren't Ya?

When I was 9 Years Old my Dance Company took a big Company Trip from Spanish Fork, Utah to California. I spent months fundraising, planning, practicing, and attending every dance class so I would shine during my performance at Disneyland. The trip was grand! I flew for the first time, I danced my little heart out, and I rode every ride I possibly could and stayed until midnight in the pool goofing around with my friends. Coming back was something I never even thought about, until I was laying in my bed at home the day after getting back. I was depressed! I remember being in Anderson Lumber (the Utah equivalent of Lowes, back in the day) and “It Must Have Been Love” by Roxette came over the speakers and in my 9 year old state of Disneyland Depression I changed the lyrics to “It Must Have Been Fun…” and I continued to sing that song with much passion. Even though I think that has been the lowest I have come in a Post-Vacation Depression, its not to say that I still don’t get them.

Since Brice and I didn’t take our honeymoon (we needed to get started at work) and we haven’t really had a lot of money to take a vacation we were thrilled when my family invited us to accompany them to Sun River Resort. Sun River is one of Oregons most popular resort sites. While staying there you are assigned a cabin, you have a choice of two pools to play at, there are hiking trails, biking trails, a spa, shopping areas, white water rafting, golf, and amazing food (I mean come on, they had sushi and salmon at BREAKFAST). We got all of this for FREE!!! So yeah we were on board. Leading up to our departure we worked 11 shifts STRAIGHT! From Saturday until Friday, we didn’t have a single day off. By Wednesday, we were counting down hours. (Thank you to all those who kept us positive during those crazy days, we love you all!)
After a weekend filled with Riding Bikes Around Oregons Grand Scenery, Golfing without a hat, Getting my Vocation worked out of my back, Delicious Food, and Being Reminded how a little time away can do a lot I felt my Post-Traveling Troubles come back to me early Monday Morning. It makes me realize how much work and household duties drag down our schedules.

One of my New Years Resolutions was to “learn something new everyday.” My recent epiphany: Don’t let yourself loose track of time because one day you will look back on every moment and in a lonely lumber store you will feel the passion to sing to an old tacky 80s song. Life is a Vacation!
