I know it sounds silly but I don't think I can or ever will let go of the fun I had in high school with cheer leading! The Companionship you gain, the trust and motivation you build as you cheer together and work so hard for the #1 each competition!
This last Friday we had the chance to go back to ALTA high school 3 years later as Cheer Alumni and cheer 1st half of the homecoming game haha! I think this was the first year in Alta's cheer alumni history that they had all (but a few) Varsity show up! In Uniform!! We practically had the whole squad back in chant lines on that track! We were still throwing standing tumbling and stunting like nobody business! We totally showed up the now attending Alta cheerleaders right girls!!
It was a fun night but I think my Cheer days are officially over!

Michael Buble Concert!
I cried.. Need I disclose more about the most incredible concert ever known to man!!
How it came to be - I arrive home to find a letter in the hands of Mr. Smith addressed to Mrs. Smith, it explained the hard work ahead of us, finishing school and buckling down on the priorities but first a little fun and the following written on the back, Verbatim, "Because... I'm your man!" Which happens to be one of my favorite Michael songs! I open up the envelope and find two tickets to Michael Buble's Concert in Las Vegas for August 21st! Oh to contain myself was not possible!! Jed your the best!!
For the next month it was all I could think of and talk about! I read Michael website practically everyday and kept up on the news. He is just an incredible Musician!
Night of the Concert - Earlier that day was Colt's, Jed's Younger Brother, first football game as starting quarterback so it was hard to even think of not attending that game! He did awesome by the way! They were so far ahead the first half that Colt didn't play the second half which is nice because we had to leave if we wanted to make it to Vegas in time! 6 hours gone by and finally we were in the frenzy of Las Vegas! The concert was held at the MGM Grand Hotel and to make the whole thing even better, my parents were there! My father also surprised my mother and purchased tickets to Michael Buble. We ate dinner together and went our separate ways to our seats, needless to say we bought some shirts to match the occasion! I was hoping we would match but they didn't have a, "I love Michael buble" shirt his size haha!
In the middle of the stage was a three sided wall of sheer curtains, enough to see shadows through and finally the lights started to dim and the music started to play and there he was behind the curtain, Michael Buble's Shadow conducting his incredible symphonic band! The intensity! The Bass! The Michael! I cried! It was beautiful and so exciting! He sang both Jed's and my favorite songs; I'm your man, Me and Mrs. Jones, Crazy Love, etc.
Through out the songs Michael would get personal with the audience, he is a funny man, truly a performer! We both loved his jokes and his corky personality. I wish I could tell you the funny things he was saying but it just wouldn't be the same!
It could not have been a more perfect night! I feel so lucky!!

June 4th 2010 - The Big Day!
We couldn't have asked for a more romantic family and friend filled event! The whole week felt just frantic! The Wedding Dinner was on Thursday at the Smith's home in Ogden where we would enjoy Ben's incredible BBQ meal and Alice's homemade sides! They worked so hard on the backyard and it paid off! Tables everywhere, June flowers and color, color, color! Everyone had a good time tellin' our every embarrassing, personal, funny moment to everyone, Jed's stories were filled with, "Incredible sports player," "So Coordinated," "Expert with a Gun," and so forth. Naturally mine were filled with, "Uncoordinated," "Bike in Heels on freeway," "Speeding ticket this, policeman that," Poor Jed, He has no idea what he has got himself into. We laughed, we cried, we ate and ate and ate!
I'll be honest with you though, I was in a hurry to get outta there! I wanted to go home and hop into bed so morning would come that much faster! That next morning was the big day! The Nackos residence was crazy in the morning, with Momma Nackos directing the scene and people everywhere setting up, ask if I helped? Nay, Jed in Ogden and I in Draper took our sweet time at the gym and getting ready! 11:00am rolls around and it's time to check in at the Draper Temple, Sealing at 12:00pm. I don't really remember what happened from there... It was all a glorious memory haha, I just could not take my eyes off my handsome husband, it was an incredible and spiritual experience! Sealed forever baby!! After exchanging the rings and loud pats on the back we were off to present ourselves as Man and Wife through those big Temple doors. Lots of twirls, dipped kisses and photos, Lots of photos.
I would like to take this moment and thanks my cousin, Sammi Beardoll, "Feels Like Home Photography" for the incredible pictures, Engagement, Groomals, Bridals, Wedding!! You name it! She is incredible!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!
The reception started at 7:00pm, we both could not believe our eyes at how our backyard turned out! Lights, Sheer Ribbons, Flowers, Michael Buble, Pictures, and the people we love most! I don't think I even need to tell you how incredible my aunts, Jill, Bethan, and cousin, Trisha, did with the desserts. They look awesome but tasted even better! They worked so hard and it turned out better then I could have imagined. We had a fairytale wedding.
After we were able to see and thank everyone for coming, it was time for the show! The cake eating, the dancing, the bouquet throwing, the first dance and my personal favorite.. The Garter.. Grrrowwlll!
Thank you to everyone who was able to come and share such a special night with us!
