Congratulations Are In Order....

to the UCDH class of 2009!! My roommates, Babs and Melia graduated! They each graduated with honors and Babs even won an award for being the most caring person and serving others. They are so lucky! Now it's time to join the throng of college grads and get jobs so they can survive in the real world. I can't say that I envy them that but I am jealous they don't have to worry about homework and grades anymore. Although I was excited for them at the ceremony I'm now saddened to think that within the next year and half all of us will be doing our own things never knowing when we will see each other again. Growing up is hard to do!!

Tulip Festival!!


It's been about two and half to three years that I've lived in Utah. All these years I've wanted to go to the annual tulip festival at Thanksgiving point but I never had the opportunity until I got to go with Emily yesterday!! Turns out there aren't just tulips there but all kinds of flowers.That was a nice surprise and it ended up being a really nice day outside. There were long walkways and plenty of places where we could sit,chat, relax and ponder on life if we wanted.Better yet they had a huge waterfall which I loved. I love all forms of running water. It might be because I am a pisces. Hahaha Anyway, it ended up being tons of fun and it was nice to hang out with Emily before she went home for the summer.


These orange and yellow combo was my fave on the tulips.

My second fave flower the skunkweed mostly I loved it because it actually smelled like skunk which I thought was way cool. But I did think it very orginal how they blossomed downwards.

Friends Forever...Ha ha

A week ago Babs and I realized that we hadn't hung out in what seemed like the longest time so we decided to take some time out to enjoy each others company. Haha! We ended up doing some of my most favorite activities including riding on the back of her scooter, sneaking into huge homes that are being built because I LOVE to check out huge homes and I LOVE imagining that they will be mine one day, peppermint steamers from Starbucks (Delish!!) and Bride Wars!! I. LOVE. BRIDE WARS. The best part was that I blasted the music on my phone so we could dance and sing to Lady Gaga every stop sign and red light! Ppppp--pokerface-ppppp-pokerface!!

This was my favorite house of the day because of the columns on the house. It was beautiful.


Peppermint steamers. The best thing Starbucks could offer me.

She was a happy camper by the end of the night. She loved Bride Wars just as much as I thought she would. Hahahaha

I Can't Wait

I went on vacation a week or so ago and although I had a great time I came home extra behind on my schoolwork and in life in general. I have yet to shake off the lazy habits I find myself so easily able to pick up when I'm on vacay. I've been getting pretty stressed because on top of schoolwork I feel like I am not at all ready for the summer. That is though until I listened to Happy by Natasha Beddingfield and realized "there's so many reasons I have to be happy." There are honestly so many things I can't wait to do. I thought I would share a few.

I can't wait:

to see the Eiffel Tower for the first time
to graduate from UVU
to get my first acceptance letter into law school
to get my first job as a lawyer
to see my first ultrasound (is that weird?)
to one day be sealed to my brothers and sisters

There's more but those are the most important. Enjoy.
