Festival of Colors...

This semester has easily been the most stressful, but at the same time it has been so enjoyable!I have found sanity among 5 amazing individuals. Amanda, Mikelle, Shayna, Sarai (notpictured), and Matt (notpictured). Between Capstone, Program Planning, Modifying, and Ethics we all have helped each other get through the dreadful course work.
This past Saturday we had our MASSIVE 3 hr test for Capstone that basically brought death to all of our souls! Our wonderful instructor decided that it would be a great idea to schedule the exam the week after Spring Break... Really?! What was she thinking?! Well we all stayed up studying for hours on end a few days before the test. (something that we should have been doing for the past 2 months) Well, miraculously we all survived. Some how making it through the test from Hell.
Once we finished we decided to celebrate our fail by chucking chalk at one another during the Festival of Colors. I must say... it was the perfect remedy to a stressful week!

Spring Break...

Honestly... I had the best spring break anyone could have asked for!! Originally, the plan was to fly to Arizona Wednesday night and arrive around the same time as my parents. Well, once class got out on Tuesday and I realized that I had NOTHING to do till Wednesday night, I decided to pack my bag, get into my car, and start a 10 hr drive to Arizona in order to surprise the boy... It was pry the quickest drive imaginable. Once I got there it was way past his bed time so I got a room and showed up at his house the next morning. 7am came quite early but I was so excited that I didnt care. He came outside, we looked at each other for a moment, then BAM! I was in his arms once again!!! Such an amazing feeling. For the rest of the time I was his taxi, Taking him to and from the field. I totally loved every min of it! Later that day I drove to Scottsdale to watch him play against the Rockies. This was the first time that I had ever watched him pitch in an actual game. Seriously, he is AMAZING! Granted, I am not the best judge of baseball, but in my eyes he is fantastic. 3 up-3 down with one k. :) Later on that night my parents arrived. I am so glad that they decided to come and join in on the fun. The rest of the trip was full of sunshine, laying poolside, hanging out with the parents, watching baseball, and being with my man. I am so proud of him. Watching him excel in what he loves is truly so great. He is so talented and so dedicated! I cannot wait to see what is in his future and how much he will accomplish. Being spontaneous truly paid off, because if I had not driven down I would not have been able to see him pitch.

Thanks for an amazing trip my dear... and thank you Momma and Poppy for coming.

All grown up...

I cant believe it!

In about 50 days I am going to be a college graduate!

I am registered for graduation, I have the cap and gown....

Now all I have to do is finish out the semester so I can be a free woman!

I am so excited to be done with school. It has been so weird this semester. I have begun to realize that I will not have to attend another class at Utah Valley University again. I am so excited to get out into the real world and explore.... too bad I am still unsure about where I am headed. People have constantly been asking me what I am going to do once I graduate. I sure wish I knew the answer to that question... oh how I pray I knew the answer to that question! In all honesty, I am scared... I am scared to be all grown up and have to face the world. I have been in school for so long that I do not know what it's like not to be. Having to find a job/career, FULLY supporting myself, getting out of Utah, and being with the one I love... These all excite me and yet they scare me at the same time. Growing up is hard. So many times I find myself wishing that I was still a little one, back at home, being cared for by my two wonderful parents. Since this is a wish that I know cannot come true I must try my hardest to succeed and continue to grow into what I know I am meant to become. I have so many wonderful times ahead of me and so many trials yet to face. I know that if I stay true to myself and focused on the end goal I can accomplish anything!
