Finally, I'm a College Grad!

I still can't believe this day has finally come. Three schools and four states later...

It wasn't easy and there were many times I wanted to give up. I'm so happy I stuck out the difficult times and GRADUATED!! It feels amazing to be done with school forever. I even shed a few tears of joy after my last exam. I completed my final two years online through Utah State University. I'm a proud Aggie who stepped onto campus only once... and that was to walk with the class of 2013! I'm so grateful for my sweet husband who supported me through it all and pushed me to be better. I honestly couldn't have done it without him. Also, a big thanks to our families for loving and supporting me through the years and especially on my big day. 

I love you all!

 

 

 

On the way out of Logan we stopped by the Temple. I was in awe of its beauty!

 

While in Utah I was able to see a few of my favorite girls. 

I love all of these girls so much!

Period Party in Soho.

last weekend, my friend lindsay invited me to the period store party in soho.

i was a little unsure about attending a party all about periods...can you say awkward!?

the owners of the store are good friends of lindsays and this was their official grand opening.

you're probably wondering, what the heck is a period store!?

i'll fill you in.

basically they send a beautiful package every month before your time of the month

every package is filled with things that help get you excited about your period

things like gourmet chocolate, art work, product, ect. 

they've said...

"periods can be lame--we're striving to make them a little more enjoyable".

i have to say i think it's a brilliant idea.

the party ended up being so much fun. we were laughing all night.

lindsay and i enjoyed the clever food and decor probably a little too much. 

 fallopian tube cookies.

 the three owners of the period store.

 tampon-weenies. ha!

 couldn't resist the photo op.

one of the owners of the period store is a hair stylist in paris.

she was braiding hair in exchange for period stories. love it!

lindsay got her hair braided and it looked so cute.

wishing i had a picture of the finished product.

the pad and tampon headpiece masterpiece.
i still don't want to throw mine away... it's been a week!

Nemo in NY.

Jeff and I returned from our trip yesterday and we're having major Hawaii withdraws

(especially while writing this post!)

anyways, it's back to reality i guess.

back to school, work, and some serious catch up on the blog!

the catch up starts with the big snow storm (Nemo) that made it's entrance a few weeks ago

amanda and i (both husbandless for the weekend) put on our rain boots and made our way to central park to capture the beautiful winter wonderland 

snow graffiti is the best kind of graffiti...

"i love my wife", how cute is that?

after our stroll around central park, 

we met for brunch at sarabeth's and celebrated allyse's 25th birthday 

we sure love allyse and little evie too!
