Graduation

Graduation. Isn't it wonderful. Well here are some pictures of my graduation. My Mom, Dad, and James came to see me walk. I was so nervous to get up in front of everyone and walk....I really don't like being the center of attention in huge groups....I don't know how I'm going to do for my reception. During the closing prayer I kept thinking what was next on my list to do...what homework I had, what classes I needed to take...and then I realized that I'm graduated and I don't have to do homework ever again!!!



My Mom and Dad. They were really the ones that kept me in college. After every semester started I always called them and begged them to let me drop out. They always talked me into staying. Love you Mom and Dad!

Miss Lori Jane McKee. This girl is seriously amazing. We really became friends when we were sophomores in the program. I owe it all to Sister Harris' calculations class.

This is me shaking hands with Brother Julander the Department Chair of Interior Design.

Of course I had to get pictures of me and James.

James again. This is on Friday morning where President Clark spoke to us. James then stayed all day and helped me move out and clean my apartment for white glove. He forgot to bring extra clothes so he stayed in his suit and clean. He's pretty much amazing.

Sleep sounds good right now...

Well I am now graduated, but it seems even more busier than ever. Every time I think about life it seems as if I'm forgetting something or getting behind in something else. I thought everything was going to slow down after graduation, but no it just got busier. Take our marriage licence for instance. We're getting married in 18 days and we still don't have a marriage licence. The only time James and I are able to see each other are on Saturday's or after 5...and of course the court house has to close at 5 and not be open on Saturdays. James promises me that we're going to plan it all out tonight of when and where we're going to do it. James and I are such planners. We don't really do anything random. It's all planned. Funny story. A while back I was telling James that I had always wanted just to pack up a few things and start driving. Don't have a destination...just drive. Well he decided that we would do that for our honeymoon...two seconds later we were planning where we were going to drive to! We can't not plan. It's impossible. Another thing I feel behind on is insurance. James has to get insurance through BYU-I (it's not something we want, but we have to do it), but I can get insurance somewhere else....except I have no idea who to go through or what to do! I almost wish that I could be back home where Mom and Dad take care of everything and my only worries are what time I have to be at work...but then I wouldn't have James. I hear about girls who go to school here and their fiances are hours away from here. I honestly don't know how they do it. Like Danni and her James...how many times did you guys actually see each other before the wedding? 8 weekends? How did you survive? While I was in my last week of school I told James that we couldn't see each other from Sunday to Thursday....three and half days...the longest we've ever gone since we started dating. We both about died. Yes I know. It is a bit pathetic, but I blame it on being engaged. Except secretly I hope that we always stay this way. I always want to be madly in love with James and I always want to miss him when he's not here. It doesn't seem possible, but every day I feel like I love James more. Well Jess...here's your payback...I'm in love.

I hate being sick but I love graduating!

It has been a crazy past week. I think the stress is getting to me, because when I woke up this morning I had a sore throat and all I seem to do is cough. No fun. It seems like I'm sick at least once every semester, but at least I'm almost done. Then I'll have time to actually write more on my blog! Yay! I can't wait until I graduate. Only three more days! I can't believe that I won't have to go to school after this! But then I have to go around and look for a job. Not so fun. But I'm sure that I'll find something. I would love to work in the kitchen industry. I love designing kitchens. So I've been wanting to put pictures up, but the only time I have to write on the blog is at work and the only pictures that I have on my jump drive are engagement pics...so it looks like I'm stuck with putting some of these up. So I think I said before that we took these pictures at 7 o'clock in the morning. It was freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the very bottom picture is of poor James freezing to death and the top picture is us playing around on the tracks.
