pics from graduation

Here are some great pics that my mother-in-law took. It was fun to have those who came there and to walk with my bro!

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
