Love watching the Blazers play in the playoffs. They have been keeping the series interesting.

Got to celebrate another BWE couple's wedding. Congrats Dana and Jorden!

Paint twister and Cafe Rio. Happy 22nd birthday Shelley!

Another great party success. This time it was a summer kick off luau style. Consisted of fruit and candy kabobs. So glad we started off summer right.

Had the amazing opportunity to meet both Stephanie and Christian Nielson. If you have never read their beautiful and inspiring story check out her blog. You will not regret it. I am happy I was able to get a book signed by her for my mom.

VACATION STARTS NOW. Cruise here we come. 
Made it in time for the California sunset. Glad to have the toes in between the sand again.

We are on a boat and loving it. I am glad I could room with these girls for the week. There will obviously not be a dull moment.

 Started the day off by getting on another boat to get to Catalina Islands. 
 I could spend the whole day on the beach and be happy.
 We finally found the three boys that were usually MIA (Jimmy, Brady and Alan.) But obviously we still couldn't get a group picture as Chloe and Taryn were still kayaking. Kayaking was a blast though. We were able to spot pods of seals while we were out there. 
Formal night for dinner tonight.

 Driving around in a golf cart with these people made my day. We were able to explore Ensenada and blast our music as loud as we wanted. We were pretty much a party in a moving vehicle.
Stopped for lunch at a local restaurant. 
I consider getting on and winning our round of the cruise ship game show to be quite the accomplishment. I was so close to winning the whole thing too. But winning a Yahtzee card game and having fun was still great. Glad I was able to get on the stage with Shelley too. We of course rocked the bowling Yahtzee game as a team from all our practice in bowling this past semester.

 Got fourth place in the chicken olympics. You know, out of eight. Obviously a big deal. What are the chicken olympics you ask? Uh who really even knows. But it involved rubber chickens and hopping and I was bad at it. I just love the random things on the cruise ship though.
 My winning streak just keeps continuing. Shelley and I nailed our karaoke performance of My Heart Will Go On and won ourselves these trophies and a $1 tip. But let me be clear. This was not a competition or something people give tips at. We were just that good. And when I say good I do not mean our voices but our performance itself. All our impromptu interpretive dance parties with Celine Dion in our apartment paid off. Karaoke is very freeing and exhilarating. It makes a difference when your audience is drunk too.  
 To be fair our whole group rocked karaoke. I pretty sure everyone loved us and would be surprised to find out that we hadn't been drinking. We just get way into it. 
 As per usual we hit up the dance club at the end of the night. Got to get all that good energy out somehow.

 Had to say goodbye to the cruise and our favorite worker, Shea. The cruise was the exact vacation I need. Being phone and internet free for a few days was so refreshing. I loved hanging out with my friends, relaxing and eating way to much. The fact that we were able to make our own schedule and do whatever we wanted was great. At one point me and my roommates got up for breakfast at 10:30, ate, and went back to bed for a nap. I mean, what's better than that. Free ice cream and pizza available 24/7 wasn't bad either. So glad I was able to make memories and spend some quality time with some great people. 
Luckily some of us didn't have to go back to Provo quite yet and were able to spend the day at Huntington Beach. Glad to soak in the sun and ocean air one last time.

Happy Easter! I am grateful that because of Him I can feel peace in and out of His temple. I know He hears and answers my prayers. I am grateful I can call Him my friend, brother and Savior.

Rose and I were able to play at a trampoline gym today to celebrate her 11th birthday!

Bonfire season is upon us. Happy end of the semester!

I am so glad I was able to kick off summer by going to my first ever country concert with Ben. Not only were we in the fifth row but we also got to meet Dan + Shay after the concert. Let it be known that I love country music and especially Hunter Hayes.

The rumors are true. Jimmy graduated! I was able to see some family as well.

My stake put on a great Easter musical program. Perfect for Palm Sunday.

Today was my last day in the practicum. I definitely learned a lot this semester about me and teaching. I am grateful for all the wonderful kids in the class that made me feel welcomed. 

We celebrated Ben's birthday by going to Texas Road House and the classic Nickle City.

Rose and I made some awesome big bubbles today. 
Andy Grammer also came to BYU so it was fun to pretend to know his songs and sing along. He is definitely good performer! Good way to end classes for the semester.

Easter packages always make your day better!

The weather has been so nice lately. I love staring up at the stars with my friends at night. 

Friday, April 18, 2014
Felt like a kid again. What did I do on my Friday night? Play at the park of course. 

Saturday, April 19, 2014
Enjoyed the good weather at Nunn's park today. Loved feeling the wind through my hair and to get some fresh hair.

Made an awesome dinner for my roommates and Jimmy!
I took a few pictures for Jimmy's graduation announcements and had to snap one for the memory books for us!

March Madness finals on the big TV.

My DI bike made it on some mountain bike trails. Worth for this view and reminder. You could say spring break is going well.

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Stuck at the law library until 1am. Why do people think they need to study there that much before finals? They should just be as unproductive as me.

Birthday party for Connor!

Heather is fun at Walmart.

I was able to volunteer with my friends at UVU for Autism Awareness month. We were assigned to the bubble station. It is safe to say we were bubble professionals.

We like to celebrate holidays. Even if it is a few weeks early. Maybe we like any excuse to get together and eat a lot of food... just maybe.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014
Painted our nails today!

Wednesday, April 2, 2014
Bowling and Red Robin. Wilk Wednesday (eating at the Wilk every Wednesday after bowling) got a little fancier. 

Thursday, April 3, 2014
I may or may be obsessed with How I Met Your Mother.

Class field trip to the exotic duck pond.

I have been a fan of Brady Parks and his music since day one when we met at Liberty Square over three years ago. So glad I could go to Qaultrics for a exclusive concert of his band The National Parks. If you haven't heard his music you are really missing out. http://www.whoarethenationalparks.com/
