Summer Time.

Thus far for summer?  Has been pretty sweet.  I'm doing the whole long-distance thing with Tyler.  I haven't loved that.  But so far I have been able to see him every weekend!  So maybe this summer won't be too bad...

So I have graduated from college.  And have I found a job yet...?  Nope.  And it is SO discouraging. I have interviewed for a couple positions, but I didn't get either of them.  But I'm sure something will work out!  I hope so anyhow.  I did however, get a position for a part-time summer teaching position in the month of June.  So that will be sweet.  It's in SLC so I am living with Rachelle and Leah.  Love those girls. So I move up tomorrow! (June 1st).  And this is a pretty neat part, is that Tyler lives in Kaysville, just 30 minutes away!  So we have big plans.  Fishing this weekend, Bear Lake the next (with his family) they are going boating.  And this will be the first time I have even been boating.  Tyler is bound and determined to teach me to wakeboard....I am pretty nervous.  I'm already clumsy and have horrible balance so put me on a board in water?  yeah...I bet you all could see this go down.  Cause I'm sure I will have some awesome crashes.  Tyler's mom will be there to take pictures.  Hopefully I get at least one good picture of me standing up on the wakeboard so I can have a little dignity.   But needless to say, I am nervous, slash excited.

So this last weekend Tyler came down to see me. Because it was Memorial Day weekend, he got to stay till Monday!  Which was so awesome.  We went to the cabin on Saturday to mow the grass and also to have a cookout.  We went on a sweet hike, but I forgot to bring my camera.  dang.  But other than the cabin we just did some jobs around the house.

The Cabin!

Later that weekend, we went and checked out the river to see the snow melt.  It was SO full.  Crazy.
Anyway, I'm excited to start this summer teaching job!  And I'm excited to be closer to Tyler.  Well, that is all for now, next update will include some of my amazing crashes wakeboarding.  Be excited.  Very excited.

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...

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!
