I Love My Dad!

My Dad just gave a phenomenal talk in church today. He talked about prayer in a way that really touched me and inspired me. My dad has such a way with his words. He talked about how we should view life through the lens of a prayer. He taught to always have a prayer within our hearts. He told a story about when he was a Freshman at BYU. He said that one day he saw a cute girl praying over her lunch in the BYU cafeteria. So my dad trying to be the "smooth guy" went up to her right after she had opened her eyes and said with confidence and humor, "Your prayers have bean answered!" The girl didn't find this as humorous as my dad did and told him to go be the answer to another girls prayer instead. Ha! Although my dad might not have felt so good after the girls reaction, it sure makes a pretty hilarious story today. After mentioning this story in his talk he continued to talk about answer's to prayer and how we know when they have been answered. It was such a good talk

The other day I went and saw my dad in action at the BYU law building. Him and the other four justices had several trials there so that the law students could watch. I kept having to remind myself that it was my dad up there saying all those intelligent, important, and powerful things. My dad is so great in so many ways. Adding Supreme Court Justice on to his belt makes him that much more incredible. I hope that I can be as integrable, hard working, accepting, optimistic, supportive and loving as he is. I love you DAD!

Gary and I were a knight in shinning armor and a damsel in distress for Halloween.

Girls Night!

Since we have been back from the summer, we have been going to school, working full time, and still trying to fit time in for fun. Graduation is nigh for the both of us and we are ecstatic to finally be done. I will graduate in Exercise Science and Health in the fall and Gary will graduate in Business Management in the summer. Ooo, just talking about graduation makes me so excited!
I am currently working at the University Mall at a store called Signature Baby. I sell baby clothes. Kind of funny given the fact that I don't have any babies, but I definitely bring some cute things to baby showers. I am also teaching aerobics at Orem Fitness Center. Gary just got a job working at the University Mall right down the hall from me at a store called Sakora Jewelers. He likes it because he is still doing sales, but this time its diamond rings rather than security systems. It's really fun working so close to each other.

Some fun things we have been able to squeeze into our busy schedule is going on a weekend get away to Saint George with our friends Marse and Lance, and Cassie and Danny. Marse and Cassie are girls that I grew up with. Its fun hanging out with all my girl friends and their husbands. It's crazy how we are all grown up, married, and some even having babies now. Its a fun stage in our lives. I also make time for occasional girls nights which are also fun.

The other night for Halloween, we went to Cassie's for a party. I dressed up as a damsel in distress and Gary was my knight in shinning armor. Gary got his costume at Wal Mart the night before. It was made for ages 12 and under so it looked pretty hilarious on his 25 year old body. At the party we went on a scavenger hunt and ate the best cobbler I have ever had. Go Cassie!

Life is so good now. I will try to be better at keeping you all updated on what's happening with the Buckway family.

Buckway Up-dates

Hello Hello! So I figured it's about time I update you on the lives of the Buckway's. Sorry its been so long since my last entry. I guess I will try to start from when I left off. The summer eventually came to an end in San Fransisco. Probably the highlight of our summer was when my family came for a visit. We were constantly doing one fun thing after another; Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz Island, Muir Woods, etc. etc. I truly can't imagine a more wonderful, supportive, fun, and loving family then my own. They are all so great. I am definitely one lucky gal. Above are some pictures of us in Muir Woods. The tree's were huge! The summer as a whole was a bunch of fun, however, I think that we are definitely done with summer sales for a a good while.
