"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Military Ball


*** The dress had a little train on it which is not visible in these pictures.

Our friends the Woodstocks and the Willsons.


I didn't bring our camera so I am relying on pictures from others. We did get pictures taken there, but we won't get those for a couple more weeks. We had so much fun. Seriously. Everything turned out so great! We had dinner at a restaurant we'd never been to before, Elements, and LOVED it. We'd recommend it highly to anyone who needs a nice place (hint: birthday, anniversary, graduation). Corey's job this semester for ROTC was the photographer/videographer. They ended up getting an imbedded photographer from the university's paper and he did such a good job. He got great pictures and that really allowed Corey to get some good video. Corey made a video each week for staff meeting to show what they had done the previous week in lab or something else. Anyway, Corey had a lot of really great stuff to choose from when it came time to do the semester long video to show at the military ball. If you didn't know, there is an underlying competitiveness between Air Force ROTC and Army ROTC and Corey really wanted to do a good job. Take no offense anyone who is reading this but The Army's video so much better. It was really good just on it's own and then compared to theirs, wow. I married a good one. I really wish you could see it. I've been trying since to figure out how to upload a 6 minute long video (part of the reason why this post has taken me so long to put up) but blogspot just won't have it! If I get it I'll put it up. It was really good.

Yay! I remember the military ball days. Can I just tell you that Katie Willson is one of my most favorite people in the whole wide world? It's true. She's great. Ok, so I was in Costco in St. George last week and I SWEAR that I saw Sarah with a BABY. I didn't go up to her b/c I thought I could be wrong. Anyway, you looked beautiful! Thanks for the post.
