Here We Go...

Well, after having this blog for over a year, I have decided to start actually making posts. This blog was definitely not my idea in the beginning (thanks BriAnna) but I have started to feel left out with everyone talking about their blog. Oh, and I have also been tagged.

So, here we go...

Parents Visit

My parents were in town for a visit, and for my graduation, this past week and it was so nice to have a little break from reality and spend time with family.

At one of our favorite restaurants in Salt Lake: Koyo

My wonderful parents and my oldest sister Marcie

Marce and her husband Bobby

Dad and his seventh daughter

Last day as a BYU student

Done Done Done!

I have loved my time at Brigham Young University but I am so very excited to be done.

Graduation was wonderful mostly because I opted to pass on the large Commencement Exercises and just go to my smaller College Convocation. I made it across the stage without falling and received my empty folder which will eventually hold my diploma.
(Diplomas are mailed 4-6 weeks later after final grades are posted)
