goodbye winter.

I spent my winter working 9-5 everyday in Rexburg...

W O R S T  D E C I S I O N  E V E R

To say that it was cold, would be a major understatement... and I hate the cold.

The only thing that made my semester bearable was that I lived with my best friend Abby again.
(Yes, two of the main people in my life are both abbys)

Our weekends were occasionally spent like this...

but mostly like this...

and I was more than okay with eating hot dogs at midnight. 
I would be happy doing that every night for the rest of my life!

I got a week break from the northern cold though, to go to a better cold. 
A cold that is half in my favorite state, that state being california.
hellooooo TAHOE :)
 It was GLORIOUS and theres nothing like Heavenly Ski Resort

Other than that little vacay...

I met this guy...
Arie from the Bachelorette... we're dating, just kidding.

and played a lot with this girl...
my little Shawnee girl. don't know who it took us this long to become friends. we are kindred spirits I tell you and the best gym buddy (missing her x100 this semester)

and then it was spring...

the holidays.

I have been meaning to blog but then I realized
that I have done
absolutely nothing
but work since new years.
I am working in University Communications at BYU-Idaho as a Project Manager...
and it consumes my life and any energy that I possess.
I am a BORING old lady now. boo.
  
On to semi-interesting things that have happened since I last blogged...
  
thanksgiving 
(Ky wasn't able to come home because of the show she was in)

played with everly 
(formerly known as paisley) love her new name!

Then after thanksgiving I went up to Utah to see my sisters in their performances!
Ab was in Christmas Around the World for folk dance...
and
Ky was in Savior of the World on temple square.
and.
I hung with Ab a bunch.
(the only time I am as tall as her is when I have five inch heels on)
jef with one f
hung out with jef holm from the bachelorette

babysat my bosses kids a bunch
LOVE these kids
Averie, Raleigh, Eli and Mesa

I finished up fall semester December 17th and headed home but not before...
I pretty much died.
the day before I was to go home, I got food poisoning
and after throwing up 18 times, I had to go get and IV to try and get at least something in my so I could fly home
death...
It was TERRIBLE
but I did get to be pushed onto the airplane in a wheelchair

christmas break.
It was great and I had so much fun being home for 3 weeks!
spent most of my time here...
 with this guy on my lap...
got to see my mini me and made her into my twin :)
tradition of feeding the homeless on Christmas eve morning
family :) love these people.
my drop dead gorgeous little sis
and my favorite holiday
nothing makes me more excited than coming out on Christmas morning... thanks santa :)
new bedding (that will stay at home and I will probably use four times) yayyy!
went to SLO (san luis obispo) for new years and licked (not really) gum alley
for slo I went straight to Carmel and met up with the fam bam.
my favorite beach Pebble
 walked on the beach, shopped, and ate a ton of food with the fam + chase
then after carmel
we hung out at home for a few days and
the kids started to trickel off
saying bye to abs
and then I made my way back to the 
frozen tundra
called Rexburg... ughhhhh lovely.
it has been a long winter so far and I will have to post more about it soon.

cheers!

my best friend's wedding

A little over a month ago I was privileged to be able to fly home and be the Maid of Honor in my best friend Megan's wedding. It was seriously one of the most amazing days I have had in a long time and I am so happy for her and Joey. 

Megan and I have been friends for a very long time and her and Joey met right before Megan graduated high school. Their wedding has been a long time coming and I was ecstatic when she asked me to be her Maid of Honor. 

They got engaged on valentines day and a few weeks later we went to go find her a wedding dress. We had looked at a few places and then finally went to my neighbors dress store, Bianca's Bridal in Modesto and after looking for a few minutes I knew I had found one that she would love. She tired it on and we were all in tears when she came out. 

Since then I have been anticipating this day and I am so happy that I got to be apart of their special day.
Megan was so on top of everything and everything was planned and in place months before the wedding date. She found an amazing photographer, Amber Grover who does wonderful wedding photography with her husband and they took some fantastic photos.
So here are some pictures from the big day...

 Performing my Maid of Honor duties!

The Ceremony
(cried through most of it because I was so happy)

Bridesmaids & Megan

Love this girl! 

Such a fun bridal party!


Me and the Bride!

 
Right after the Ceremony. She's Married!!
 
 My freaky excited face and Meg's adorable smile.


Signing the Marriage Licence :)

Giving my Maid of Honor toast was one of my favorite parts of the wedding!  

(Here is what I said, minus the nervous "ums" which my mom caught on film)

My name is Macy Falke for those who don't know me 
and I have the honor and privilege of being Megan's Maid of Honor.
I honestly can't remember the first time Megan and I "officially" met. 
Kevin and I were in elementary together and in the same friend group,
and I always thought how cool his older sister was.
High school though, was when Megan and I became best friends
(and I still thought she was pretty cool!)

Megan is an amazing woman.
She is someone who I greatly respect for all that she has accomplished,
for how hard she works, for how giving she is and most of all
for how devoted she is to every relationship she has.

My favorite memory, and there are many, from our high school years together,
was when we decided to "help" Megan be voted Prom Queen.
This wasn't hard, as we pretty much ran Yearbook Club
which was in charge of taking votes for Prom King and Queen.
And sure enough Megan was crowned Prom Queen that night.

I know we all see what an amazing partner or "king" she has found in Joey.
He is someone who loves her and treats her like the Queen she really is.
Even in the beginning, you could tell that this was something special.

Megan- Thank you for showing me what it truly means to be a best friend. 
No matter how long we are apart, when we see each other it is as if we had never left each other side,
we pick up right where we left off. 

If there is any advice I could give you two, as a single girl,
it would be to follow in the footsteps of your parents. 
They have given you both wonderful examples of how to make a marriage work,
and there is a lot of work involved in that.

So, I invite you all to raise your glasses and join me in a toast.
I wish you both a life time of love and joy,
surrounded by family and friends who love you.
To Megan and Joey!

Partying it up with my crazy parents and their friends the Woods. 

So happy for these two and can NOT wait to see her again at Thanksgiving :)
To a life full of happiness,
Megan & Joey Silveira
