Graduation!!!

Well, lets be honest.  I'm so excited I'm done with college. I was so ready to be out of there and to get my own classroom!  I'm applying for so many jobs...but I haven't been hired...yet...I am so confident I will get a job.  I currently have an interview for an academy school in SLC for next week, wish me luck!  But let me back-track.

So graduation.  It didn't seem like it was happening.  I think it will for sure hit me when I don't come back next semester.  Yikes.

So my entire family came up to see me graduate, I love them.  And my boyfriend also came up to see me.  He is honestly the greatest boy in the world. I had no idea such a guy existed.

so i'll now upload some pics, cause lets be honest, everyone loves the pics on the blogs.

My two buddies.  Justin and Kristy.  I've lived with Kristy now for two years.  She is  so neat.  

Two of my greatest friends in my program, Cam and Brooke.  I love these two.

I just got my Diploma...well an empty case at least.  I get my actual Diploma in the mail...like in two months.

My whole family.  I love them.

The parentals.  They are the greatest.  I love them.

And my boy Tyler that came up to see me graduate.  I also love him;)

Leah was up watching her cousin graduate and I happen to see her!   

The sisters of the family. And my adorable niece.

The night after graduation. With the boyfriend. 

So there it is!  The main photos.  So you obviously got the vibe my love life is pretty sweet. If I could just find a job?  I'd be a happy camper.

I'll keep you updated when I find a job!  or if anything else happens in my life.peace...

So I am graduating college in five days.  No big deal...

Actually it it a big deal.  I am unbelievably excited and unbelievably nervous.

I now have to start my career.

It's going to be sweet.

Updates later on the graduation!  And other parts of my life:)

lots of events....

So it's been....three weeks....? I don't know. It has def been a while since I have blogged.  But.  A lot of sweet things have been happening.  first one?  I received my first apple as a teacher! And of course I took a pic of it.

Nice, right?  I thought so too.

Now. On to the next event. My birthday!  Yes, I have turned another year older, making me 22. It was a sweet birthday.  First of all, I totally had school off, which in and of itself is always amazing.  The new guy I'm slightly dating asked if he could take me to dinner, which of course I said yes, so we went to dinner.

ps. this boy's name is Tyler.  Anyway, So after he took me out, then we went out to my brother and sister n law's house for cake and ice cream, as soon as I opened the door, trinity tackled me to the ground and held me there while Justin grabbed his wooden spoon and spanked me 22 times...They are so sweet. After that shantel surprised me with flowers and a card, trinity and kendra gave me some shirts and some hair stuff in a cute Easter basket and then Mylah presented me with her painting for me.  SO cute.  She was explaining it to me, and then said, "well...I think I might keep it and you can get it next time."  But her mom told her that she probably needed to give it to me because it is my birthday.  Here are the pics of the flowers, the Easter basket and Mylah's picture she painted.

I def love my family.  By far the greatest humans to ever live.

So after having cake and ice cream, we decided to go bowling. I love to bowl.  I think it is so fun.  So my siblings and I went bowling with some friends.  I forgot socks when we arrived at the bowling ally.  And what did I do?  I bought some. out of the vending machine!  Who woulda thought, right?

The Socks.

Me and my sis

So Trinity was the very top score. Look at him having five strikes in a row!  Amazing.

When I came home then I found some brownies and a sign on my bed!  I have the greatest friends.

Anyway, stellar bday.

Now onto other events.  So my friend Kendra is in this class up here and had to make a flapper dress out of newspaper and get someone to model it in a fashion show.  it was a sweet dress!  here it is.

When we went out of the building after the fashion show to go home, this is what it looked like.  It was so cold.  I was in flip flops and shorts...not the greatest outfit for this weather...

Now, onto other events...Tyler's roommate's old mission companion invited us to go to his cabin/barn thing for the weekend to go four wheeling and camping.  So I invited my roommate and her boy to come along with us!  It was large amounts of fun.  Here are some pics of it!

We went shooting....

And four-wheeling....

And chilled....This is my roommate Alisa

Alisa and her boy Casey

Me and my boy, Tyler

Tyler gave Alisa and me the back of the truck to sleep in and as we got our beds situated, casey and tyler climbed in with us.  we were like sardines...super squished.

 It was honestly super fun.  Everyone was watching a flick, but the four of us didn't feel like it so we decided to go outside and play a little football. It was way fun.

Also important events include my roommate Kristy and her art show!  Tyler, my old roommate sam and her baby boy and I went to go and support her. Tyler just has to be in every pic...

Also in this pic, you can see some of my blue jacket!  I dyed this.  It was kinda a nasty white, so I changed it. I also dyed some five dollar canvas walmart shoes.  they are Legit.  seriously.  Here are the shoes.

Sweet. Right?  I love them.  

Well, that is all I have.  This was a solid update. goodbye.

The weekend of Hinduism and Ice Cream

This weekend was a great weekend, me and my buddy Rachelle finally made it to Festival of Colors.  Every year we plan on going and every year one of us bails.....So going this year was a great accomplishment!  I had a blast. there were so many dumb people there though.  There was this sweet black guy singing and every song had the words "hada rama hada krista"  it was amazing.  One of the Hindu peeps gave a speech about how we only need love and that is all!  And then we threw chalk.  It was seriously intoxicating. by the end of the day, I was covered.  I saw a lot of people there that I knew, which was sweet.  I met up with my brother and some of his friends too. My hair thickness grew two times because of the chalk and when I blew my nose everything was purple.  Nice, right?  As soon as I got back to Rachelle's I showered all the nasty stuff off. I just mostly think it was funny to see so many people throughout the day that were still covered in chalk, I guess if you're cool you leave it on so people see how neat you are.  Guess I didn't get the memo. And even if I did?  lets be honest. showering is still the best way to go.  Well, of course pics need to go with the event!  So here you go all my little blog stalkers (don't worry, I'm right there with you probably looking at your blog without you knowing either.) Here we go. lots of photos.

Now onto the rest of the night?  Rachelle's lovely boy Matt made the best decision of his life (and yes that trumps the mission decision).  He bought the neatest blender.  This blender will make hot soup, shakes, dips, peanut butter, and even ice cream, yes ice cream in two minutes flat.  We had this amazing taco soup and then later we made spinich ice cream.  It was amazing.  It sounds so gross.  But seriously...amazing.  My mind is honestly still so boggled.  I love that boy for buying that blender.

Ready to Blend!

Blending....Blending....

Spring Break

Well I'm not like some kids who'll spend loads of bones and go to vegas or on a cruise or to other places in this world, every year for college I come home and see my family.  Seriously I love my family, and I know that each of you think that you have the best family...well I have some harsh news for all of you.  Because my family is by far the best.  Why else would I want to come down to good ol' So. Utah every spring break.  This weather has been absolutely phenom.  seriously.  Granted I haven't done loads, I'm still re cooperating and whining about me being sick.

My roommate came down to see me, what a sweetheart. Kristy.  My family of course showed her a good time. Cutting down trees, family dinners, cookouts, ambush (Explanation later), and then of course I had to show her Kolob yesterday.  Kolob is honestly the greatest place in this world.  I love it.  We drove up to our cabin gate and parked to look around. and then I looked at how deep the snow was and I had the great idea that we, Kristy, Shantel, and myself should hike into my cabin so I could show my roommate my cabin and the scenery.  The scenery is amazing.  Anyhow, so we walked the mile into our cabin.  In very deep snow.  Needless to say, I am so wiped out from this extravaganza.  Probably not the smartest thing to do right after Mono.  Here are a couple pics from the hike in.

And then after the hike we, of course, had to show the infamous spillway.  Which by the way has so much graffiti and f words and vulgar pictures.  I was completely shocked!  I haven't been up there in...well I guess since high school, senior year.

So after we died hiking into my cabin, we had a sweet hot dog/mallow roast in my back yard.  Don't you just love htown? And how we can start summer things in March?!  It was a tad chilly.  But it was still awesome.  After the dinner we decided to play ambush.  Have any of you heard of this game?  no. because Lucas and Heather made it up. And then talked all of us into playing it one day, and needless to say, we all love it.  This game involves guns, saying "bang bang you're dead!", snipers, stealth, and pure adventure.

There are two teams.  Trinity and Jake (when he was home and not on the mission--so Lucas took his spot) against everyone else.  Their job is to take over a checkpoint.  Which is usually a rake standing up against a bench.  They start on one side of the house and move around to the checkpoint while we (everyone else) would hide out either in bushes, trees, lay in the grass, wherever we can without being seen.  Then we wait until we see Lucas or Trinity sneaking around and then we point our play guy and yell "Bang! Bang! Trinity (or whoever you are shooting at) you're dead!"  And then they have to go all the way back to where they started.  They can also shoot us if they see us.  So...I can tell that you are all quite jealous that you have never been invited to play this game with us. or have ever heard of it.  Well.  we are thinking about having tryouts to recruit more players.  not really.  Mostly cause it would be crazy lots of people trying out. 

You may think this sounds like a way dumb game, i also thought it sounded pretty dumb as well when I first heard it.  But honestly, this is the funnest game.

Anyhow, I start school soon, I'm excited to start...mostly just to finish.  I honestly am so antsy to graduate...It couldn't come soon enough.  But then graduating may make me feel like I'm getting old. But oh well.  I'm SO ready to have my own classroom. and mold those little minds.

Alright. I feel as if I have written above and beyond.  so see ya.
