Life in Provo hasn't changed a bit! haha. I do have to say though, that I have the most wonderful friends. I am so grateful that Sarah has stayed here this Spring. And I am so happy that I get to spend a few more weeks with Abby before she becomes Mrs. Korbin Blunck-in this beautiful, newly renovated temple!!!
The day after I flew back to Atlanta, I had the opportunity to go volunteer and help out at the Atlanta Temple Open House. And later I got to walk through and see how incredibly gorgeous it is! I am so excited for Abby and Korbin! Of course it is definitely bitter sweet for me, but I am so happy for them :)
A few weekends ago I got to take one last trip to Boise with Kyle and Mekelle. It was so much fun. I could just sit and talk with them for forever. They are so great. I am so lucky to have such an awesome brother-in-law! I am so sad to say that they officially do not live in Utah anymore...watching them pack up their apartment and then helping to load the moving truck was just about the saddest feeling ever. Life is going to be so different without them here. I don't think it has hit me yet...it definitely will this fall...BUT KALEY will be here!!!!! So now I get to take on the role of the older sister in Utah! haha. I am so excited for Kaley. I know that she is going to absolutely love BYU. And I am just so happy that she'll be right around the corner from me now.
I love Boise.
Look how STUDLY! This little boy, who is not so little anymore, is starting HIGH SCHOOL in the fall. Holy moly. Once again...where does time go? Brandon is such a stud. I got to watch him dominate in a bunch of baseball games while I was at home for a little while...and now he is playing on the All-star team! He's so awesome.
Once I got back to Provo, that meant back to school...work...I never thought I would do it, but I went back to Farr's for work. Luckily I only have a week and a half left, and then it's EFY for me for the rest of the summer :) I am so stoked. This truly is going to be a dream come true for me.
Before Michael left for Europe, the four of us roommates went to the cutest dessert shop called Chocolate. We celebrated Abby's wedding, Michael's adventure soon to begin, and just being together as friends and roommates again. It was so much fun.
So one of the 4 classes I am taking this Spring term is EXSC 375- Teaching PE!!! Class just ended this past week, and I absolutely loved it. I love teaching PE! This is Abby and I on our very first day going to Park Elementary to teach second grade PE. We had so much fun. I have the best major ever.
One of the best things about going to New Zealand...I now have 15 wonderful new friends! We had I guess what you could call a reunion...I really wanted to see everyone, and so in celebration of me and Katie's 21st birthday, we went out to lunch at Zupas! I love that place so much.
We also had our very last Sunday dinner together before Mekelle and Kyle moved. I have so many wonderful Sunday night memories with these two and Abby...it has been an absolute BLAST to live so close to them...to run half marathons with them...our runs down the canyon...playing tennis...trips to Idaho...watching Amazing Race and The Bachelor with Mekelle! haha. Man I could go on forever. I am going to miss these two so much. I am so grateful I have been so close to them these first few years of their marriage. They are the best!
I also turned 21! I can't believe I am that old! It's exciting though. Everything was just so crazy with school, work, Kyle and Mekelle moving...but we did get to go to dinner to Mimi's Cafe on my birthday in between my classes. It was delicious of course!
Like I said, I truly have the best friends ever. Sarah made me this amazing strawberry jello cake- it was so delicious.
And Mrs. Blunck made homemade OREOS. These are better than any Oreo I've ever had. They were incredible. Let's just say my diet went out the window on my birthday! But I'm back on track- I love being back at 24 fitness. I've missed cycling, body pump...they have so many awesome classes that kick my trash.
Oh did I mention that Sarah and I went to the midnight premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean the night of my birthday and we got the whole CAKE into the theater??? haha. Yep. We met a bunch of girls from the ward there for the movie and just had to share the cake with everyone. Get a little foil, a big purse, and some careful walking...and you can even get a cake into the movie theater! haha. It was pretty awesome.
Life in Provo hasn't changed much, but I definitely have. And I am so grateful for that! I wish I could go back a year ago and really see how much I have actually changed. This has been such a wonderful year. And I am excited for what is to come this year! This summer working as an EFY counselor for five weeks...my last semester on BYU campus...student teaching...and GRADUATING from college!
