Graduation!!!!

So I am finally a college graduate :) Probably one of the best feelings in the world! My family came up and we went to both commencement and my college convocation. It feels so good to graduate as one of the top in my class from a great university. I'm glad my family came up from Washington to share this moment with me. I couldn't have done it without them. I'm also so grateful for Ben and his support and enouragement. Now I just have the world ahead of me. Scary... Anyway, here are some pics from that day :)

24th Birthday

So over a month ago was my 24th birthday. This post has been a little late because we've been on vacation and I've been using all my free time to search for a job. Anyway, my birthday was fun. It was right in the middle of finals which for the first time in 5 years I didn't have to take a final on my birthday, but Ben did. Ben brought me both Kneaders french toast, an einstein bagel with their delicious vanilla almond cream cheese, and fresh strawberries in bed. That was super nice. Then I just hung out for a few hours until he got done taking a final. Then we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner and to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for some dessert :) The next day my family flew in town for graduation. While they were in town we went up to Park City to the outlets there where I was able to spend some of my birthday money to get some new clothes. It was a really good few days and I was glad to be able to spend it with both Ben and with my family.
