Hey!

Yes! I am actually posting something on our blog! Despite the fact that I created a blog months ago, I clearly have not been very devoted to it. Now that I'm done with school and don't have much else to do, I'll try to be better at posting:) Anyways, here is a little update on what has been going on in our lives....

I graduated in December from BYU-I with a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Marriage and Family. Since then, we have moved from Rexburg to Provo, where Luke is now attending BYU. The move was a little bittersweet because we were really sad to leave friends and family, especially Grammy T (my Grandma whose basement we lived in)! But I was SO happy to get away from the freezing cold winters! So far, Provo is going really well and we are finally getting settled in to our new place.

Here are some things we have been up to for the past couple of months...

Grandpa, Me, and Grammy T when I graduated. They were so nice to throw me a little graduation party with family and friends.




For my graduation present, Luke planned a trip for us to go to Mexico! It was so much fun and a perfect break for both of us.

We hung out at the pool and beach....




played tennis...


Got lots of yummy drinks and ate tons of delicious food...



Luke was serenaded...

and we went on ziplines and cliff jumping...




Overall, it was such an awesome trip and we had so much fun!

After we went to Mexico, we went to Chicago for Christmas at my parents. It was really fun to have my entire family there!

My parents and all of my siblings...Jordan, Tyler, Cameron, Braden, and Jessica



One reason we LOVE going to my parents house is that there is tons of really good food to eat all of the time! I caught Luke and my brother-in-law, Ben, eating ice cream cake at 10am...






We went to a Jazz game a couple of nights ago and it was way fun! We brought my brother Cameron, and his friend Scott Shuman with us!
