Our First Home!

We just bought our first home, and it's so exciting! I love that we live so close to all of our family now, especially with our little girl on the way! I will have to post some pictures soon.

My New Fun....Digital Scrapbooking!

I Graduated!!

This is at University Commencement. The entire Marriott Center was packed. President Uchtdorf and Elder Nelson spoke, it was really neat.

This is the Health and Human Performance College Convocation, where I got to walk across the stage and they read my name! You have to wait a minute to see me in the video; I am right after my friends Andrew and Kenny. Although, I was really sad that they didn't say my middle name. I don't know what happened?

Our dinner at Carrabba's. It was so yummy!

could life be more exciting?

I just took my very last final and I got to see Wicked last night!

Mugs the Sequel

I am so excited that classes are over, and I am almost completly finished with school! I just have a couple of finals left! This semester has been a challenging one. My toughest class was probably bio-organic chemistry. We learned so much just within the last month of class. I had to memorize all of the molecular stuctures, enzymes, and cofactors of glycolosis, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain, gluconeogenesis, lipid synthesis, transamination, and the urea cycle!

I was so happy when reading days came around so Grady and I decided to go to color me mine again. We needed some art therapy time. So, here are our cute cups!

Sunday Fun

Here are some of the cutest kids ever!

My sister Amber got tickets for Grady and I to go see Dial M for Murder at Pioneer Theatre. It was so good. I haven't seen the movie, and I had no clue what was going to happen. Before the show we went and ate at the Blue Plate Diner with Shawn and Klint. That place is so cool. Although, Klint almost knocked a pitcher of water out of the hands of our waitress, just trying to point to where he used to live; but the food was great I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has never been.

Back to School

School has started once again. Christmas break didn't seem long enough. Although, we were able to work a lot and make some money! It sucks to be the poor married college students, but good news I am almost finished! This semester is gonna be tough but after, Bio-Organic Chemistry, Statistics, Functional Anatomy, Prevention of Chronic Diseases, Physics lab, and an online PE class I will officially be a college-grad! Whooho! Although, it seems like I have been a student for so long, I don't know what it will be like to just work. But as long as it doesn't involve hours of homework and library time I think i will enjoy the change.

I am also way psyched that I am in a new anatomy lab, which doesn't stink like formaldehyde near as bad.

Our first Christmas together turned out great! It was filled with family, games, and surprises. We loved playing catch phrase with the families, opening presents, reading new books, playing with our new nephew, and just being together!

We were super excited about new stockings that Gaye made us, the huge bin of yummy food we were given, super cool boots for me to strut around campus in, Grady some new sexy pants, BYU vs. UNLV basketball tickets, Jazz tickets, and Wicked tickets!

Hooray for Christmas!

Old News

Grady and I and a bunch of his family went to see Into the Woods and Hale Center Theatre. It was so awesome and filled with tons of middle school flashbacks! The musical was really good but I still think my favorite part of the night was the amazing maple syrup pancakes at Cracker Barrel. Hmmm they are so good I want to go there again right now!
