We recently spent a phenomenal week at my family cabin in Arizona and did not take a single photo the entire time. The biggest problem is that I don't have a smart phone. But we really just don't think about taking pictures! I want to do a better job of chronicling our experiences (aside from my nightly journal writing), and I'm going to use this blog as a motivation. My goal is to post a weekly photo; consider it an Ellison family highlight reel!<br />
<br />
(p.s. I'm still not used to that new last name!)<br />
<br />
So here are our costumes from Halloween:<br />

Our menu: fruit, cheese and crackers, coconut shrimp with mango dipping sauce, grilled zucchini and caprese salad skewers, chicken marsala tenders, and gelato shooters. It was all delicious! I guess we ran out of food pretty quickly- I blame my own underestimation and my cousins' big appetites :). But Will and I were none the wiser that evening (the food was in a different room during the main reception), and since my parents ran out of food at their reception and have had a wonderful marriage, we've decided it's a good luck charm!<br />

After the ring ceremony ended and the reception got underway, I looked over and realized there weren't any flowers on the cake! I tasked my bridesmaids with picking blooms from arrangements where they wouldn't be missed, and soon they came running back to me with their hands full of peonies and roses. It was really fun to place the flowers in my own cake!<br />

Alyssa and I have been friends since Kindergarten. In second grade we didn't have any friends so we would just waltz to "Shall We Dance" on the blacktop all of recess. I'd go boating with her family and we'd play dress up with her mom's old pageant crown and have sleepovers. In high school, we ran cross country together and went to the temple together and she'd let me third wheel it with her and John (her high-school sweetheart turned husband). She is kind and generous and loving to a fault. Now we have wonderful double dates to Despicable Me 2 :). </div>

Shelbie was the life of the party in high school and the only person my parents trusted me driving with :). We had epic dance parties, fun pranks, and chick flick nights. Shelbie would always come up with such clever ways to have fun! If it weren't for Shelbie, I don't know if I ever would have found my place in the social circles of East High. I've loved having her as a fellow Ute and being on Student Alumni Board with her. I know Shelbie will be there for me through thick and thin. She also is responsible for giving my middle name! </div>

Jocelyn started at Bonneville in fourth grade, and I thought her name was really hard to pronounce. She was the decoy for my 10 year old surprise party and queen of the baby club. We were friends through middle school and high school, too, and grew even closer at the U! Jocelyn was an officer in Beta with me. We're also blood sisters, thanks to an unfortunate round of midnight "Red Rover" during our freshman year of college. Jocelyn is up for anything, whether it's beating me in cross country, taking daring cliffs skiing, or cliff jumping at my cabin in AZ. She's also one of the bravest girls I know. I'm so proud of her for serving a mission in Houston! <br />

I think there were several reasons I was meant to go to the U and join Beta, and at the top of that list is probably to meet Michelle! I would not have met Will without her, and she was my lifeline through college. As a fellow English major, we enjoyed countless classes together, stood next to each other in the MUSS, and enjoyed an awesome trip to NYC. She's one of the kindest people I have ever known.

I don't know exactly when I met Meg, but we grew close while on a study abroad in Oviedo, Spain. It's really fun to start a friendship while traveling though Europe! I was feeling kind of lonely the first week, but one evening Meg and I sat in the Parque de San Francisco and chatted for a couple of hours all about our lives, and found that we have so much in common! Together, we visited Barcelona, Paris, Germany, and Austria. We returned to the States, and the good times kept on going. Meg is amazing at everything she does. Seriously, she's one of the most talented girls I know! I want to be her :).<br />

Suzanne and I met during middle school when we both swam for Steiner's swim team and, while we became friends, we really become attached at the hip until Junior year of high school. We had all of the same classes except that when I was in Spanish, Suzanne was in German. We did everything together- studied, cross country ski lessons, tennis lessons, cross country, downhill skiing, family vacations, throwing parties, starting a blog together, school dances in the same car... there are too many memories to list! She left me for BYU, but found her soul mate who is now the Garfield's personal rock climbing coach (or so we like to think). Oh, so many fun times!<br />

Meg and Emily, my maids of honor. I love them! Meg is in Honduras on a mission now, and Em's involved in more committees than I can count at the U. They are wonderful, beautiful women!<br />

Will and I have enjoyed four months of marital bliss and I'm finally getting around to posting wedding photos! <br />
<br />
The night before we had a lovely dinner of close family and friends at Westminster College. I loved the toasts and being surrounded by so many people that mean so much to Will and me! It really sunk in then that we'd be getting married the next day.<br />
<br />
Will and I had a 1:00 sealing. It was nice to have a (semi) relaxing morning. I loved sitting in the Celestial Room with my soon to be husband. Will gave me great advice while we were sitting there; I had started talking about what needed to get done before the reception, and Will turned to me and said: "Gail, we only have one wedding day. We just need to live in the moment and not worry about what else is going on." From that point forward, we really did! We enjoyed every little detail: our wonderful sealing, greeting all our loved ones outside the temple, taking pictures, the gorgeous weather and flowers, our ring ceremony, the reception, the dancing. In our eyes, it was all perfect!<br />
<br />
I am so grateful that Will and I were sealed in the temple. I know that we are sealed together for eternity! There is nothing that brings me more joy.<br />
<br />
So here are some photos for you! I've tried to include photos of those who might read this blog, so let me know if you want any emailed to you! And there are a lot more where these came from :)<br />
<br />
P.S. This upload is being a bother! I'll be posting them in several batches. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Will and I are engaged!</span><br />
<br />
And we really couldn't be happier.<br />
<br />
The story: Will and I headed up skiing with my brother Jake on December 15th for our second day of the season. At that point in time, I knew we would be getting engaged soon, and I figured he had a ring, but my parents were out of town so I wasn't expecting anything until they returned. On the way up, though, I got serious butterflies and thought, "Will could propose today!" Then I thought, "Shoot, why did I think that, now it won't come true!" I soon decided I was being silly, because Will was acting so normal and we were with Jake, so I forgot about the butterflies and enjoyed the awesome snow.<br />
<br />
On our last run up before lunch, Jake accidentally dropped his glove off the lift. He decided just to race down to get it and said he would meet us at the lodge. Will and I decided to take a long run, and as he led me toward the remote border of Alta, where it's very secluded and the snow is always phenomenal, I started getting the butterflies again. I realized that if he <i>was</i> going to propose today, now was the time. I saw him stop a little ahead of me and start taking off his helmet. I got so nervous and excited that I just stopped next to him and fell back in the powder. I heard him pop off one ski, then he said "Gail," and I looked up and he was holding out a little box with the most beautiful sparkly thing I had ever seen. <br />
<br />
I pulled myself upright, and he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.<br />
<br />
It was really too wonderful for words, so I won't try to describe any more here, but I'm crying while writing this even though I've told the story so many times. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Some say that dating someone for three years is too long, but I would not change a thing. We are so happy and so ready for this next step. I never thought I could possibly feel this sure about who I was going to marry, but I know, beyond any doubt, that I am making the right decision. I am marrying the love of my life! May 4th, here we come!<br />

I've sorted through the mess at times, but I was always reluctant to throw away these relics from my favorite classes and was also certain that at one point I might need my <i>Crime and Punishment</i> notes or population density studies again. I guess I'm something of a homework pack rat.<br />
<br />
So tonight, I decided to clean it all out. I sifted through the three ring binders and spiral notebooks, and it was like watching a movie of myself learn and work and put in so much time. I found geometry notes from eight grade with handwriting that was both awfully bad and awfully close to the way my handwriting is now. I read a note that Shelbie and I passed back and forth during class to advise each other on who to ask to an upcoming dance. Mrs. Lake's comments on my English papers ranged from "incoherent" to "what a delicious brain you have."<br />
<br />
Each piece of paper unfolded a new memory. My AP test scores led me to reminisce about getting those test scores in the mail and getting broken up with on the same day, and the one redeeming thought through all of it was "well at least I scored higher than <i>him</i>." Then I was back in Mrs. Olson's class, learning and caring about people on the other side of the world with such different cultures yet with hopes and passions so similar to my own. And then I was on the front lawn of East High watching the boys play frisbee and crouching in the shade of the diminutive trees, totally content with where my life was and who my friends were and not worried about the future for a time. <br />
<br />
A crumpled manilla envelope revealed a list of "Regency Etiquette" that Suzanne and I distributed before our Jane Austen Ball, and I laughed at myself and thought how lucky I was (and still am) to have had friends that put up with me and my crazy ideas. It made me think of the day, a few days after my birthday, when a gift was delivered to my class and I opened the package to find a beautiful white North Face jacket inside that I had been coveting for months, and see then names of nearly thirty friends who had generously contributed to making my birthday special. I thought of our ski days, random dance parties, late night hikes, the thrill of driving ourselves around for the first time, asking to dances, answering to dances, secret sardines, and every good thing in between. <br />
<br />
So here I sit, back in the Marriott Library (I don't have homework, of course, but it was my only chance to spend time with Will) and feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the good people who surrounded me all the time I was growing up. I am grateful for the many teachers who made me feel smart and capable, and the friends who encouraged me to be the best version of myself. To all of them, thank you!Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354763642298588022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425429739039440056.post-65329055102057936892012-07-05T16:59:00.002-06:002012-07-05T17:06:02.137-06:00Dear America: I'm a fan<br />

My oh my, time does go by fast! I can't believe it has already been two months since I graduated and almost as long since I last blogged. I just got back last night from the wonderful country of Switzerland, after having spent a lovely week in Spain. I love traveling, and I loved spending so much time with my family; I feel so blessed to have five such remarkable people as my closest kin. I would love to share some pictures and stories from the trip, but since I am such an Einstein I managed to leave my camera in Switzerland. Whoops. My sisters will bring it back with them in a week, but the travel log will have to wait until then!</div>

In other news, happy belated Fourth of July! It was the longest holiday of my life…literally. With the time change from flying, my day was 32 hours long, and I managed to stay awake for 25 of those hours. One of the lovely things about boyfriends, though, is they make coming home from a vacation just as exciting as leaving. It was so good to see Will again. I managed to stay awake long enough to go watch fireworks with him at the H rock. We could see fireworks all over the valley, from Sugarhouse Park to Kearns, and got to listen to the three or four year old next to us shout repeatedly. "YAY! YAY! YAY FOR SALT LAKE CITY AND FIREWORKS!!!" </div>

<br />
I had a wonderfully busy week. I am <i>loving</i> my new job! I am doing even more writing and editing that I had even planned on, and the daily walks are more beautiful than I imagined, and the brand new iMac they gave me is amazing, and I love the ladies I work with-- they are so kind and encouraging. I know the novelty will wear off eventually, but for now I feel so lucky and blessed to have been given this opportunity!<br />
<br />
I also got to spend a lot of time with some of my dearest friends, because I got to see this girl get married:<br />

While I enjoy not having to do any homework in the<span style="text-align: center;"> foreseeable future <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I am currently in denial about going to grad school)</span>, I am also going to miss college so much.

Best weeks of my life. The chocolate con churros, evenings spent in the park, weekend excursions, getting to know the sweetest girls, falling in love with the city and culture, and then traveling through Barcelona, Paris, Ulm, Fussen <span style="font-size: x-small;">(where I took the picture of Neuschwanstein Castle that is my blog banner)</span> Salzburg, Madrid, Granada, Sevilla, Cordoba, Ayr, Belfast, and Dublin were the best of times.

I believe I have received divine direction a few times in my life, and one of these instances was in my decision to join Beta. I made all of my best friends from college through this organization, and grew to love so many wonderful girls. My favorite memories include: winning Battle of the Chapters, Catch a Cougar, barn dance, Jazz games, St. George trips, winter formal, red neck rampage, skiing, sledding, casual dinners, and the many hours we spent laughing and chatting together. Being president was both the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done, but I am so grateful I had the opportunity.</div>

While the disestablishment of Lambda Delta Sigma nearly broke my heart, I was glad I got to replace it with UPC.

<div>
Really, I loved walking around campus every day, and sometimes I worry I took it too much for granted. But I loved that every hour or so I was forced outside into the fresh air, and that I got to bump in to old friends, enjoy the changing seasons, or make little observations like the way the block U reflects in the library windows or how you can see the whole valley from the Huntsman Center steps. I enjoyed the days of new snow when the tree boughs drooped so low from the weight of the new snow that we would have to duck underneath or rushing from class to class during a lightning storm. </div>

I respect anyone who goes away to college, but I am so grateful that I have been able to live at home the past four years. My siblings and parents are my best friends. I happily held on to a few more years of my blissful childhood: ice cream in the front yard on Sundays, family dinner every night, evenings at the park and lots of skiing. Living at home has allowed me to work more hours, participate in TUNA, and have time together as a family that will be over so soon.</div>

I started working there a week before my first day of college, and so it seemed only fitting that I would finish working there the week of my graduation from college, almost four years later. It was a wonderful job to get me through college, and more than that, I made some of my dearest friends- like Alexis and Kirsten- and grew closer to an old friend, Jocelyn. I will miss so much about working in that department: being in charge of decorating the monthly bulletin board, our many "socials," calling out to Alexis for advice across our cubicle wall, listening to my coworkers laugh their heads off at each other, and laughing a lot myself. <br />
<br />
BUT, while I am sad to leave, I am so excited to start a new job at... Red Butte Garden! Sometimes life works out rather perfectly, like graduating on a Friday and starting a job that I am looking forward to three days later. I don't need to bore you with all the details about the job, but here is a little something that makes me so excited about the place I get to call work:<br />

I celebrated with Will that night at Settebello, then went home and soaked my feet in a bowl of steamy water while watching <i>Lark Rise to Candleford</i> on my mom's iPad and chatting with my dad. I went to bed early and just thought about how life is so very good...<br />

Then my mom called me Friday morning saying my dad was in an ambulance on his way to the hospital after a road bike accident; she knew he was conscious, but that was all. For the next day and a half we experienced the ups and downs of a hospital stay: the nurses telling us that he just had a bad concussion and would be released by Friday afternoon, and then a physician's assistant telling us that the CT scan showed bleeding in his brain, which, he tried to tell us gently, could be nothing, or could become serious and fatal. For a short period, I was terrified that my biggest nightmare would come to realization, that I might lose a parent at the age of 22. But I am so grateful for my brother's priesthood blessing, which spoke of healing and brought us all comfort, and that the CT scan Saturday morning showed that the bleeding in the brain had stopped, and my dad would be fine. <br />
<br />
I feel so, so blessed. I am so grateful that my dad's accident was not more serious, and that he is already as lively as ever; he even went to the gym Saturday afternoon to keep his workout streak going. More than anything, I am grateful for a reminder that life is so fragile, and I need to appreciate every moment. I need to enjoy the way this evening smelled of crab apple blossoms and freshly cut lawns; I must accept Meg's invitation to go on a walk together; I want to enjoy every minute with my loved ones, so that I never look back with regret. Life is precious and wonderful, but fleeting, and I intend to take advantage of every minute of it.Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354763642298588022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425429739039440056.post-5766485377338067432012-04-24T09:00:00.001-06:002012-04-24T09:00:34.495-06:00I have been MIA...... because there are only 56 hours between now and when I turn in the last paper of my undergraduate degree!Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354763642298588022noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425429739039440056.post-88364139466942134862012-03-29T20:45:00.001-06:002012-03-30T08:31:20.091-06:00Starting the weekend early...I have a love-hate relationship with professors who say you will have an assignment due or an exam on a certain day, and then you walk into class and they say "jk!" and give you a few more days. Usually I am elated by the change and annoyed by the overachievers who moan at the news, but today in Shakespeare I was the moaner who had been so stressed about my test and everything I had to get done on top of it that I was actually disappointed we were given another two weeks.<br />
<br />
...It reminds me of a time in AP Human Geography in high school when Mrs. Olsen announced that our test was pushed back a day and <a href="http://the37thadventure.blogspot.com/">Suzanne</a> started sobbing. When Mrs. Olsen stopped the class to ask what was wrong, she replied though her tears "I'm just... so... happy." <br />
<br />
Anyway, one of my highlights of the week was buying a brand new pair of Five Ten Anasazi climbing shoes on ksl.com for only $40! Now I have a class all weekend in St. George so that I can learn how to actually use all the gear I have purchased. I guess that's a good way to get into a sport: spend a bunch of money and then you <i>have</i> to use it. I am excited to climb all weekend in the eighty degree weather, and maybe get some sun on my legs so the kids in my swimming class don't have to keep avoiding swimming in my lane, but I am sad I won't be able to listen to Conference on Saturday. Thank heavens for technology that lets me catch up!<br />
<br />
And now, for some laughs to start off your weekend. I first saw this video years ago, and I crack up every time I've watched it since. It makes me think of how some of my guy friends used to dance at high school dances. I wish I were joking.<br />

I quickly remembered how much I hate it when <i>up</i> and<i> run</i> are in the same sentence, and I also discovered that I am ridiculously out of shape. I didn't even make it a half of a mile before I was gasping for breath and run/walking up the mountain, and very soon that run/walk turned into a torpid trudge. The boys were so patient with me, but I was mortified. The pain was worth it, though; the view from the top was spectacular, and the whole run down I got to stare out at the capitol building, downtown, and the beautiful valley stretching out beyond; the air was so clear with gorgeous grey clouds in the distance. I really love where I live.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We didn't have a camera, but our view was just as spectacular.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>The run, though, was a wake up call about how I need to whip my body back in to shape; I usually rely on cross country skiing in the winter to keep me active, but I wasn't able to do much more than coach this season, which wasn't a workout at all. Since I only have 39 days before I finish my college degree--so crazy-- I decided to establish some goals that will help me stay on top of the important things, effective immediately:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>study the scriptures for at least<span style="font-size: large;"> 10</span> minutes every night</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(because it is way too easy to read just one verse before hitting the sack)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>do<span style="font-size: large;"> 9</span> jumping jacks before morning prayers</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(to get my blood flowing and my brain going)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>sleep at least<span style="font-size: large;"> 8</span> hours each night, no matter what!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>only eat <span style="font-size: large;">7</span> treats or desserts per week</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(so I only get one of Randi's yummy cream puffs, not the<i> cough</i> four of last Thursday)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>shower at least<span style="font-size: large;"> 6</span> times</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(per week, not month...it's sad that I have to make that a goal)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>work out<span style="font-size: large;"> 5</span> times each week!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4</span> minute workout before bed</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(1 minute plank, 20 push ups, 50 sit ups)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>watch no more than<span style="font-size: large;"> 3</span> hours of tv or movies each week</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>attend the temple at least<span style="font-size: large;"> 2</span> times between now and graduation</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>complete at least <span style="font-size: large;">1</span> focused hour of studying every day</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">(don't judge... I only have two classes, so I don't need to study much!)</div><br />
Hopefully making this public will help me be motivated. I still can't believe I am almost done with college; I am going to miss going to school every day so much! Hopefully, I still have graduate school in my future... I should probably figure my life out stat!Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354763642298588022noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3425429739039440056.post-10920292245081048202012-03-22T13:48:00.004-06:002012-03-26T13:43:05.718-06:00Looking forward to tonight...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://reelmovienation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HungerGames-610x250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://reelmovienation.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HungerGames-610x250.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Fact: my brother (who is 24, very normal, and getting accepted to law school after law school) and sister (who is 17 and darling) have been eating District 12 food all week. Lots of goat cheese; dry, whole grain homemade bread; berries and herbs, etc. They crack me up.<br />
<br />
An actual conversation:<br />
E: We should eat goat cheese wrapped in mint leaves.<br />
J: But it wasn't wrapped in mint leaves, it was wrapped in basil.<br />
E: No it wasn't. I'll bet you five bucks it was mint.<br />
J: You're on! <i>As Emily looks through the book reading it.</i> Em, remember, I was the one who was bored in class and wrote down, from memory, what happened on each day in the arena.<br />
G: Haha! You would! How many days were they in there?<br />
J: 18. Who was the District 12 tribute in the Second Quarter Quell?<br />
G: ...<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-left;">J: Maysilee Donner. </div><div style="text-align: -webkit-left;">G: Umm... ok.

And what a game! Will was briefing me on the Thunder before the game, telling me the details about the team and its players because he knows way too much about sports, and he said, "If we pull off a win, it would be huge, but we have nothing to lose." So when we fell behind by six points or so early in the game, I thought it would be downhill from there. Ha! Not so! We led the whole second half, and I was so proud of the Jazz, who looked tiny compared to the giants of OKC. I am not going to pretend to talk sports any more, but we won 97-90, and it was amazing. <br />
<br />
This was definitely the highlight of the night; the fans erupted:<br />

It was wonderful to spend an hour talking with three girls who only spoke well of others. Seriously, I can't recall a negative comment that was said, or a piece of rude gossip that was shared. I want to be better about only speaking well of others, and these girls set such a good example for me last night. I left feeling so uplifted, and so blessed to know such wonderful girls.<br />
