I love that the mountains are so close to where I live.

Just a normal day at the preschool.

Tuesday, October 21, 2014

Last day with these wonderful preschoolers. I am grateful I have been able to teach at the preschool but am looking forward to my next adventure in the first grade.

Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Always got to support my friends intramural games.

Thursday, October 23, 2014

Another thirsty Thursday with Shelley was a must.

Friday, October 24, 2014

The weather has been incredibly beautiful and warm lately. A bonfire in the canyon was a must.

Saturday. October 25, 2014

We take bachelorette parties a little differently. 90s music video to celebrate the bride-to-be Shelley!

Monday, October 13, 2014

Just a nice little night hike. 

Tuesday, October 14, 2014

 Beautiful way to wake up.

Taryn helped me pick out pumpkins for my preschool class.

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

It's a miracle! The kids actually look like they are listening. 

Thursday, October 16, 2014

Last full week at the preschool. I am going to miss this cute little classroom so much.

Saturday, October 18, 2014

Happy 23rd birthday Chloe!

Sunday, October 5, 2014

Somehow we convinced Jimmy to let us wax his chest. With that he earned a spot as our honorary dinner guest with Brandon tonight.

Monday, October 6, 2014

 Bonding over Parks and Rec. Being family is good.

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

Some student work from our survey of the JFSB today. The children loved going around and asking the people questions. I don't want to leave the preschool.

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

Brandon loves monkeys and his nickname is Bobo. A parent came in to read today and behold! A monkey named Bobo. It was too perfectly that I had to awkwardly ask the parent to take a picture.

Friday, October 10, 2014

The road trip has begun. Colorado here we come!

Saturday, October 11, 2014

Estes Park and Rocky National Park are a dream. Absolutely perfect day. So grateful for Taryn's parents welcoming us to their home for a short trip to escape Provo and explore Colorado. 

Sunday, October 12, 2014

Sad to leave Colorado but Jimmy kept us laughing the whole way home. 

Sunday, September 28, 2014

Meet our first honorary dinner guest, Mike. Here is to starting a new tradition!

Monday, September 29, 2014

I couldn't pass an opportunity to see The National Parks perform.

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

 In-N-Out and friends. What more do you need on a Tuesday night?

Friday, October 3, 2014

Despite the hard loss against Utah State we made it on to the jumbotron almost a thousand times it seemed. Utah State hadn't beat BYU in Provo since my mom was a junior at college there...so that's unfortunate it happened tonight. 

Saturday, October 4, 2014

Bridal Veil hike with Rose in between conference sessions. 

Sunday, September 21, 2014

Roommate trip to the mountains.

Monday, September 22, 2014

Getting sick. Aka I drank half of this in about half a day.

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Sodalicious will heal me too right?

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Having the mountains so close has been such a blessing. I love that I can go and change my perspective and feel that God is aware of me even in this big world.

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Natalie is writing an article about mac and cheese and Station 22 was an obvious stop.

Saturday, September 26, 2014

Got to see Dan + Shay (again), The Band Perry and the one and only Blake Shelton tonight with my best friend! Who said summer was over? Because this was one great night listening to country music outside. 

Saturday, September 27, 2014

Don't worry I am not revealing anything because this isn't the one she got but I got to go wedding dress shopping with the beautiful bride-to-be Shelley!

Sunday, September 14, 2014

First ward prayer in my new ward and there was a recorder performance. Solid start.

Monday, September 15, 2014

Maybe Jimmy and I are such good friends because we watch football together.

Tuesday, September 16, 2014

Came across this on twitter and absolutely loved it. 

Wednesday, September 17, 2014

Random dancing will always be a part of my apartments. 

Thursday, September 18, 2014

Women's soccer game!

Friday, September 19, 2014

Can't get enough of BYU sports this week.

Saturday, September 20, 2014

Canyon trip with Rose.

White out and another win for BYU!
