My naky babies (aka nieces and nephews) are a pretty big reason why I love going to Utah!

Graduation Festivities

Lately I have had a lot of wonderful celebratory activities. Last week I went out with the girls from my master's program. We got all dressed up and went to a nice restaurant called Lucky 32. It was so extremely yummy!

My master's group minus Allison and Kyle

Me and Liz----I love her!

Later in the week David and I had the opportunity to participate in a baptism for a young single adult named Cory. We are so happy for him!! It was a nice interim that brought the spirit back into all the madness that is finals.

GRADUATION!!!! David's sister brought me flowers--isn't she wonderful--and beautiful!

David's grandparents and aunt sent me a graduation puppy signed by all of them. It was so nice of them!

Aahh, I love my husband!

And I love my sister for flying out to come to the ceremony!

Friends Amanda and Liz
Overall, it has been a wonderful couple of weeks and now...I'M DONE!!! Phew!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. The holiday gave David and I the chance to reflect on how blessed we are to both have wonderful mothers that have taught us, encouraged us, and supported us through everything we have ever done. WE LOVE YOU MOM!!

Star Trek

GO SEE IT! (It should be noted that my opinion of this film is based on no prior experience with past Star Trek shows or movies.) I thought it was a great movie and just enjoyed it for what it was...an excellent and entertaining movie. Really, you should go see it!

Cinco De Maio Party!

Actually, the party took place on May 6, but hey, when it's finals its always a good time to party. Here are a couple of pics from our museum studies/historic preservation party.

Me and my next-door neighbor Sarah...who just so happens to be in my program. Coincidence? I think not!


This is my "group." This picture includes the museum studies students that I have gone through the program with as well as our adviser, Benjamin Filene. We have been through about everything together and have grown very close. I will definitely miss all of the wonderful friends I have made over the past two years.
