We're Engaged!

ENGAGEMENT PARTY!
Sarah and Tyson!

Sarah and Tyson met in 2006 while attending the University of Nevada Reno. They first laid eyes on each other at a party with mutual friends. When Sarah went home that night she told her roommate, in secrecy, that she had an eye for Tyson, so her roommate did something about it. Here they are 4 years later, ENGAGED. Sarah and Tyson will marry at the Laguna Cliffs Resort in Southern California on August 5, 2011.

The Proposal took place on July 4th 2010 at Zypher beach in Tahoe. Tyson proposed to Sarah under the fireworks right next to the shore. Tahoe is one of the couples favorite getaways.

The party took place at Sarah's fathers house in Red Rock they were joined with family and friends to celebrate the coming of their two families. Many of the relatives and friends traveled 8 hours from Reno to help celebrate the milestone in the couples lives! 
Congratulations Sarah and Tyson!

Keogh-Copeland Surprise Wedding

After only one month of planning the Keogh-Copeland Surprise wedding ending with tears of joy!

Judy and George wanted something different when they decided to tie the knot, so what could be more original than surprising your guests! 

On the eighteenth day of September Judy celebrated her 50th birthday with  friends and family at the Walkabout Ranch in Moab, UT. Little did the guests know that they were celebrating more than just a birthday!
Reactions to the announcement! 
"This is unbelievable" 
"I'm going to faint"
"Oh my God, Oh my God!"
"It's about time!"

Charity Spring Carnival

The Shade Tree Shelter is a safe haven for abused women, children and their pets; a place they can call home until they can get back on their feet. My capstone class, at UNLV, and I put together a spring carnival for the 100 women and their children who resided there. The best part about the whole experience was seeing the smiles on the women and children's faces, smiles that have been hidden from awful experience.

I started this list around a year and a half ago, some I thought up myself and others I was inspired by. Enjoy!

1.) I have learned that a good friend and a glass of wine can cure anything.


2.) I have learned that when someone has hurt your feelings it is unimportant unless you persist on remembering it.

3.) I have learned that most of the things I worry about never happen.

4.) I have learned that love is something you build.

5.) I have learned that life is too short to dwell on the past.

6.) I have learned that it is not impossible to heal a broken heart.

7.) I have learned that procrastination doesn’t get you anywhere and hard work really does pay off.

8.) I have learned that you should never miss the opportunity to tell someone you love them.

9.) I have learned that you cannot change what has already been done.

10.) I have learned that everything in my past has made me who I am today.

11.) I have learned that family is a blessing that should be cherished for eternity.

12.) I have learned that friends may come and go in your life, but family will always be there.

13.) I have learned that bad times pass just as fast as the good ones.

14) I have learned that if you surround yourself with negative people you will become one of them

15) I have learned that you should not rush your life away no matter how excited you are about the future

16) I have learned that the most important things in life have nothing to do with money.

17) I have that learned that anything is possible with a little bit of courage

18) Most importantly I have learned that this list will continue to grow
