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!

Arizona & Utah

We had a wonderful Christmas this year with my family. 

I feel so grateful for my parents and siblings. 

It's hard living so far away from them, a few visits a year is not enough!

I did a terrible job taking photos this year, but here are the few I did capture.

We visited the beautiful Mesa temple. 

I love little Christina Mariah.

Jessica went to winter formal. Beautiful girl.

Introduced the fam to Grimaldi's Pizzeria, it was a hit!

I also saw some of my favorite girl friends, love these girls.

Jeffrey and little Jace.

After Arizona we visited Jeff's family in Utah. 

One of Jeff's childhood friends was married while we were visiting.

It was a beautiful wedding and reception. 

We're so happy for Todd & Savannah. 

winter wonderland. 

Sledding Day.

This post is like a month old... better late than never!

There was so much snow in Utah over New Years. 

We took advantage of this and went sledding till our knees were black and blue. 

It was such a fun day!

ha ha.

love this little family.

they started standing up...

but that didn't last long!

Jeffrey catching some air.

all of us really struggled getting back up the hill! 

(okay mostly just Mariel & I)

Dustin makes the best sledding faces.

Benny soaking it all in.
