Governors Day

This weekend was drill and for drill it was the MI ball and Governors Day Parade. This is the first time in 5 years that Wayne has marched in the parade. Wayne says it was just as miserable as he remembers it being. Friday night was the ball and I got off work early to get ready and do my hair. Aunt Karlene did my hair this year again. Thank you so much for doing that Aunt Karlene. It really looked good but we didn't around to getting pictures this year. On our way to the ball we stopped at an accident that happened on the road in front of us. I heard the accident but didn't see it. Which I am thankful for. A truck was turned on its side. Wayne left to go help with it in his Class A's while I sat in the car waiting. Thank you to all who called and asked if I needed a ride home. I wore the same dress that I wore last year. Dinner was okay. If we weren't forced to be there I would say it wasn't worth the money we spent on it. But I must say I look great.

This morning I we left at 7:00 a.m. to make it up to U of U stadium. We took up Wayne's Mom with us. We ran into horrible road construction so it took forever to make it up there. You know Utah has two seasons really, Winter and road construction. Right now in Springville it feels like road construction will never end. We dropped Wayne off on the corner and then went to park. We made it to the stadium after a short hike and had an hour until we had to be seating in our seat to watch the parade. So we walked around and looked at the booths they had set up. Cindy found the coolest stickers for the car.

The Utah National Guard has a band that plays at military balls and events. They are really good and a lot of fun to listen to. We listened to them while we watched the guys line up.


The new Governor was at the parade, it was really cool to see him looking over our guys. My family calls me the paparazzi. So you will just have to deal if you don't like pictures because I take a lot of pictures. Our New Governor and General Tarbet (The Commander of the Utah National Guard):The guys marched in and stood on the field for a long time. There was bunch of them that fainted. It was actually quite hot. I am proud to say that my husband was able to stand up the whole time without a fainting spell. There was a guy close to him that did go down. They had to bring in a stretcher and take him out. It was interesting to be above the guys and watch all the action. These two pictures you can play "Where is Wayne". If it takes you a while don't feel bad it took us a while to find him to take the picture.

They had a couple of helicopters and planes fly over head. It was all really cool. We think this will be our last Governors Day parade if we get accepted to medical school. So if you missed it this year because I happened not to tell you. Sorry but I hope the pictures make up for that.
