I wanted to write really quick cause I've neglected to post for a while and a couple of exciting things have happened.
I finished my last final and all my assignments for Spring semester yesterday!! It was amazing to feel all those requirements and worries end! I am pretty enthusiatic that this semester will have my best GPA of my college career so far.
I am excited for my summer semester but this break inbetween will be heavenly and sooo needed.
Summer- I am taking three classes: my capstone class which will be one day of class and 1 or 2 days of volunteer work, two online classes, the first one is my independent study class which will pretty much be done by the end of May!, and a biomechanics course.
Last night I celebrated my graduation!!! Yes, I know I'm not done till August but since I walked and was all dressed up it seemed appropriate.
After the ceremony my in-laws took us to dinner and it was absolutely wonderful- so fun to sit and talk and enjoy good food.
We get to party with my fam tonight!!
On a sadder note... our friends here in our court... well they are moving out of the village : (
I guess that is just how it goes when you live in the village but it's still a bummer- we loved having good friends so close!
Well that's all for now
Love you all!

Catch Up
So it's time for another post. We spent the first part of this week in Vegas (for our Anniversary and my Spring Break)! We had so much fun- I'll let pictures show that. I really enjoyed being in the warmer climate and feeling the sun on my face. I think the favorite thing about Vegas for me was bein able to walk through all the hotels and shops. It's good to be home though.
I loved the fountain at the Bellagio, I could've watched it all night- but it broke after the second song we watched. The Sharks at Mandalay Bay were amazing! Sitting in the show room felt so amazing- being able to watch (in person) huge sharks and sea turtles and all sorts of fish swim! I absolutely loved it!
Feeling the sting rays was pretty cool too- they felt like velvet or a really wet chinchilla : )
We also thought it was pretty cool the way the lights of the hotel played on Darth...
I don't know if you can tell in the picture but he's pointing at a stream of water- we couldn't figure out how they could make it stick together and not splash every where. The water stream and the poppies (like wizard of oz right?- 'cept these were from iceland, not oz) were at the Bellagio, I thought the inside garden was a fun idea.
Any way I wanted to post some of the pictures we've taken over the last few months - so you can see what we've been up to.
There's really no order but some are pictures of our cabin trip to go snowmobiling, christmas, snow, and some more vegas pictures...

Fun Idea
Pay it Forward!
(my sister in-law has this on her blog and I think it's such a cute and fun idea!)
Here's how it works...
The first 3 people to comment on this post get a gift from me somtime throughout this year. When you'll receive it and what the gift is, is a surprise!
Here's the catch! Before you participate you have to add a "Pay it Forward" post to your own blog. Then come back and comment on my blog to let me know you're playing. Once you've done that you can sit back and relax and wait for your gift from me to arrive.
Remember it's the first 3 who get a gift so get to it!
If you're not in the first 3 you won't get a gift, but please play along anyway and add a similar post to your own blog!

One month down
I've not written for a month or so, so I thought i'd just jot down a little note real quick for those who glance at our blog.
January was a fun month for us and so far we're enjoying February.
This week will be uniquely fun cause we're getting free dinner from cafe rio twice! Tonight at a new homes Q&A with the owner of a large home building company and Friday for our wards Valentines dinner. I'm just happy that I don't have to cook dinner, it's fun but takes so much time!
Chad had been looking for jobs still and even had an interview last week. He's still hanging in there at 3-form for now though.
I think he's getting excited for this presidents day weekend- he and a couple of his brothers are planning on going skiing. It'll be his first trip this winter and is sure to be a day full of fun and good stories afterwards.
I am getting into the thick of my classes. I had my first test this morning and have had several assignments hanging over my head. One assigment I was able to complete last week with the great help of my cute nephews. My nephews were the best subjects for my observation lab- we had so much fun runnin and jumpin around!
I am enjoying my classes generally and am pretty motivated to do well since I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I was talking to one of my friends from the ward (who is graduating this semester)as we were waiting for our shuttle to take us home after class, and we agreed that May cannot come soon enough. The time is already seeming to drag. But I am looking forward to the second session of classes, for then I get to start my swimming class which i can't get enough of. I tell you what, with weight training and swimming combined in the next couple months I don't know how I'm going to get by without my moms homemade bread and costco whole milk. It seems like thats all i ate when i was swimmin in highschool.
So my note has turned out longer than planned but thats good. To sum up we're doing wonderfully, absolutely loving the snow that's falling outside right now, and we're enjoying each day as it comes!
