It's official

We're moving to Texas and there's no turning back! All our stuff is somewhere between here and Texas, so we'll be living out of suitcases for the next three weeks. I just finished my last final ever! I almost cried exiting the testing center, it was a very bitter sweet moment. I just love college- the learning, the energy, even the endless hours of studying (gasp!). I've always enjoyed being a student and I think I'm going to continue taking classes sometime in the future. And Matt is just the sweetest husband. He did all the deep cleaning in the house while I was studying for my test. I really don't know how I got it so good. He is the best! And while we're waiting to move into our house we'll enjoy doing whatever we want, hang out with family, and hopefully take time to stop and smell the roses:)

Summer is Flying By!!!

I can't believe how fast the summer has gone, it makes me sad. I feel like I didn't get to do anything that I had planned on doing i.e. hike the Y, lay out every single day and get a sweet cancer causing tan, exercise everyday (ok maybe this one was due to my laziness), go camping, go to Vegas, etc...etc. But alas I do have some good news, today is the LAST day of class for me! Woohoo! I'm basically done with college! Can you believe it?? I sure can't. I feel like I should be learning more and more. I think the transition from college-student-only-worry- about-myself thing to house-wife/baby machine is going to be extremely exciting and weird at the same time. Oh and speaking of transitions, my birthday was last week-the 31st, the same day as Harry Potter. Yes I know you are all jealous that I get to share my special day with such a celebrity, which by the way the 6th movie comes out in November!! It was a great b-day. I had class up in Salt Lake that day so Matt met up there after my class and we went to Macaroni Grill, walked around downtown, then hit up the B&N (Barnes and Noble for all you non-book worms:) Then the day after I got my hair done. I had been waiting to get my hair done for over a month and my appointment finally rolled around and now I am happy to say I no longer look like I'm related to the brother-in-law on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. PHEW! Then after that Matt and I jetted on over to Star Valley, WY for a family reunion. It was fun, but I wish I was still one the little kids running around instead of the adult that has to help clean things up and plan things-those were the days! OH and all our stuff is getting packed up next Monday! We are really moving, starting a new phase, becoming full fleged adults! Weird. I was driving up to Salt Lake the other day and I couldn't help but tear up, I'm really going to miss Utah. The mountains, all the members, Cafe Rio, the buzz of Provo. People always talk about how they can't wait to leave and they can't stand it, but to be honest, Provo is the most unique place you can ever live. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We are constantly surrounded by gospel powerhouses, and insane college students reproducing like rabbits that look so happy and put together. It's refreshing to me. But at the same time I'm excited to enter the mission field and experience different cultures and beliefs. When Matt and I were in Houston, the guy giving us our rental car noticed Matt's Utah drivers license and immediately said, "You guys Mormons?", "You know what they say about Mormons- they have more that one wife." We got to set him straight about what we believe in a matter of 5 mins. Talking about what we believe to people who have know idea has always been very exciting for me. Anyways, I think that is all of the updates I can think of. Adios!
