KR the College Graduate!!

KR GRADUATED!!!!!
After 4 long and hard-working years, KR graduated from BYU!!

It's not common these days for someone to do their undergraduate work in just the 4 years.

He has worked SO hard and has been so dedicated and focused.

I've seen him get restless, but he's been so good at pushing through it and not losing sight of the prize.

I am so proud of him and more importantly, I am happy he's done!!

Only 4-7+ years right?

When KR and I met, he had a roommate named Jared. He and his now wife, Aimee have remained good friends of ours over the years. Jared and KR were in the same major and even had a class together this semester. It was fun they could graduate together!

I Have To Pace Myself

Sometimes when I get behind on major events in blogging, I get overwhelmed and procrastinate the daunting task of catching up.
But today I decided if I pace myself, I can get it done eventually.
This week has been insanely busy and nonstop.
It's been full of both fun and stressful things but overall, I've been so happy and I feel so blessed.

So to start off, I had my last two days of work this week, Monday and Tuesday.
Everyone pitched in and got my a nice card and a gift card!
They also surprised me with a cake!!! It made me tear up! I felt so loved!
I am so grateful for the friends that I've made since working there. I am really going to miss them!

On top of all the other activities going on this week, KR and I have been packing and cleaning in preparation for our big move to Oregon! Boy do I have a lot of stuff! And I got rid of a LOT too! It's been really stressing me out to make sure I got it all to fit in my car- thank goodness KR is a typical boy with very few belongings and he was able to take my excess baggage, literally.

Stay tuned for more scenes from this week. . .

Gettng Closer!!

The countdown is officially in the "teens". . .




18 days until we get married!!!





We leave Utah this Friday.
We'll be heading to Oregon and then immediately down to California for the last two weeks before the rest of our life together.
It's getting harder to imagine leaving, as much as I hate to admit it.
I have made some amazing friends and have gotten close with KR's family that lives around here. I don't like to think of how long it will be until we see them again.
So I'm not thinking about it.
I'm just thinking of how excited I am that we have a new adventure ahead of us and how soon it will begin!
The weather has been beautiful and I have had the opportunity to reflect on the many blessings I have as a direct result of moving to Utah and attending BYU.

I am grateful and I am so excited!!!

New Ticker!

I found a new ticker from The Knot! It finally gives an accurate countdown.
I love the little bride and groom and how they get closer and closer as the wedding date approaches.

I can officially say, "Next month I am getting married!!"
