Ode to BYU

So this little post is dedicated to my alma mater, BYU. I have loved attending this university. I admit, my very first semester I was a little homesick and wasn't sure how I felt about it. (ASU was looking pretty nice.) Now, I look back with such gratitude for the education I have received as well as the many other spiritual, physical, and emotional benefits BYU has afforded me. There is just a special feeling on this campus that you can't find anywhere else. I feel blessed to have had a spot here when thousands would want to take my place. Thank you to all who faithfully pay their tithing--you bless the lives of so many!!! Enjoy these pictures and reminisce about your college days.

P.S. One funny thing I'd like to share--I call this "Only at BYU". So Friday night was the big "Senior Celebration" for all the graduating seniors and their spouse. It was so much fun and Sean and I both had a great time. They had free food (pizza, hamburgers, pop, chips, and ice cream), booths, games, prizes, and a great concert put on by an awesome acapella group called Vocal Point. Now the funny thing was, probably 90% of all graduating students had strollers with babies. I couldn't believe how many students have kids. It was seriously crazy, everyone pretty much had a baby or was pregnant. I almost felt like a little kid at a party with all these parents. I'm not making fun of these people, I was just surprised, that's all. =) This would only happen at BYU. =)

I Landed the Job!

Well after over a week of waiting to hear back after my interview, I received a call this morning from the nurse recruiter at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. They offered me a full-time position as a labor and delivery nurse and I ACCEPTED IT!!! Yipee, I'm so excited (and nervous too) for this great opportunity. I have lots of paper work to fill out and lots of orientations to attend but it's official. I will be able to work as a nurse while I study for and take my boards exams. That's nice so I don't have to rush into the test right after I graduate. I'm grateful for this chance and I know I have a lot to learn but I'm thrilled with the job. If anyone has a baby in the Provo area maybe I'll be seeing you around. =)

What is going on?

So we woke up this morning to this pleasant surprise outside all our windows. What is going on? It's April 7th for goodness sake. Hopefully this is the last snow fall for the season (we've been saying that for a while now). I think snow is pretty and I'm grateful for the moisture but after 6-7 months of winter I'm ready for spring. I'm ready for flip-flops and capris. Let's all keep out fingers crossed that warm temperatures are just around the corner. Hope you all have a lovely spring day. =)
