All about McKayla

Hi! My mom helped me with this blog when I was younger and I recently discovered it again.

I've had a blast looking back on memories from my childhood! I decided to start it back up again so that one day my kids can have a digital diary to look back on too :)

23 years old now!

Since there hasn't been a post on here for 15 years, I thought I would start with a small life update :)

I had an amazing childhood. It was full of fun and hard work and skiing and sports and backpacking and learning about my Savior. Forever grateful for my parents and all that they did and all that they sacrificed to help me grow into the person I am today <3

Nauvoo!! When our family randomly decided to be in the pageant

Growing up, I spent most of my free time playing soccer. I loved the sport, but I eventually got a little burnt out and decided to end my soccer career after high school.

I graduated from Eagle High School in 2020 in the midst of covid. Grateful for all my friends and teachers there <3

some of my best friend from High School. Julia, Elle, Miranda

Our "drive through parade" graduation

I started my freshman year at BYU, and it was a PARTY! I met my now husband, Cameron, Halloween 2020 and we dated for 10 months before we broke up when I left on a mission.

My random roommate, Madelyn. She was so sweet and very clean.

Here is us hiking the Y on one of the first days.

Halloween with some of my pals. Amanda, Ellie, Sammy, Hannah.

Cam and I met this night at a football game that we went to before we went to partyyy.

Cameron! <3 <3 <3

I think I loved him right from our first date honestly.

I was the happiest 18 year old ever <3

It was so hard to get sporting event tickets during covid,

but we still managed to go to a few.

I went to Long Island with him to do sales that summer. Here we are at a Mets game!

Niagara Falls!

I served a mission in Dallas, Texas, speaking Spanish, and loved every second of it! I'm so forever grateful that 18 year old me was brave enough to go and give my all to God for 18 months.

When I got home, Cameron and I got back together and we got married a little over 5 months later! We talked every single Monday while I was gone and honestly, I wasn't surprised when I got home and he still felt like my person <3

March 1, 2023! He drove up to Idaho the night I got home from Dallas. The sweetest reunion <3 I was so so awkward for a while, but luckily he stuck it out ;)

We did sales in Colorado that summer and got engaged on May 14, 2023!

August 4, 2023 was the best day ever!

Love of my life!

Forever love!

Best man I have ever met!

We honeymooned in the Philippines :)

We have now been married for a little over 2 years, it has been amazing.

I love Cameron Briggs.

Cameron graduated from BYU with a degree in Strategic Management (a major in the business school). He has continued running a business that he acquired Junior year.

Luma Lanes is a great success!

I "fake" graduated with him. They let me walk but I still had classes to finish so no diploma for me that day (just the cover for the pics haha)

I will graduate after this semester. I could not be more excited to be done with school forever! And to think I once wanted to be a lawyer!

We just bought a house in Springville (just south of Provo)!! We have had quite an adventure renovating it this past month and are just about finished :)
