Who am I?

There comes a time in life that it becomes necessary to take a step back and examine who we are becoming, and if needed, change the road we are taking to get there.

Graduation, Getting Married, and Updates


Well, it has been far to long since I have updated all of you on the happenings of my life. And honestly I don’t know where to start. I graduated from my undergraduate degree, and though it isn’t quite as stellar as my high school, my lowest grade was a B-. So still no C’s, though who knows how long that will stay the case now. I ended up getting into pharmacy school at the University of Utah, after getting wait listed. Which was hard for me. I was accepted to both Idaho State and Roseman, and after finally deciding to go to Idaho and that I was okay with it, I was offered a spot at the U. The day after I sent my tuition deposit to Idaho. Talk about timing. I was able to get me deposit refunded at least, and I guess I just need to be grateful that I had options to choose from. That being said though, I’m incredibly grateful that I ended up at the U instead of in Idaho. Pocatello is nice, but too far away, and far too cold. So I will be starting Pharmacy school in about two months. I can’t really believe that. Four more years and I will have a career and technically be a doctor…Weird. Anyway…

So yeah, that’s all with school. I also have been married now for over 3 weeks. That is crazy strange. Being married is great though. I have probably the most amazing husband in the entire world, who spoils me much more than I deserve. It’s so nice to not have to send him home at the end of the night knowing that I won’t see him for a couple of weeks. Yes, I love being married, I love knowing that at the end of the day, I get to come home to him. I love waking up in the morning and having him be there. It’s definitely a life worth living. The wedding was fantastic. It was everything I could have wanted, except for the fact that the weather sucked so we had to move it inside, but my family did a fantastic job decorating so it didn’t really matter all that much anyway. My dad did such a fantastic job planning. I’m glad he was around and willing to do it, because I don’t know what would have happened without him. It probably wouldn’t have been much of a wedding. But I will post some pictures as soon as I get a copy of the CD of them from my parents. I had some really awesome friends come that meant a lot to me. Some who got up incredibly early and drop all the way down from Northern Utah, just to be there. You guys are amazing. Thanks for being awesome! Also one of my really good friends from Cedar was getting married at the St. George temple at the same time in the sealing room next to ours so we got to take some pictures with her after so that was really great too. Colton said yes way to early during the sealing though. Well, I guess he was just incredibly anxious to be married to me. Can't say that I blame him...

We went on a cruise for our honeymoon to cabo san lucas and puerta vallerta. It was a blast. Seriously amazing. But of course, we forgot a camera and so we have basically no pictures. Although we did buy a disposable one and are just waiting for the prints to be done. I'm excited to see them. We also are moved into our apartment, where we will be living for at least the summer. It's a cute little basement apartment in Sugarhouse. I love it but we will probably move back on campus into the married housing once school starts. Colton also got a job as a front end supervisor/cashier in the store that I work at. So that has been great. They have been so good to us and have given him full time hours for the summer, which is awesome since we have no money. And I'm in the process of getting an intern spot lined up at my current job too so I can get my school hours in and still get paid for it. Awesome. So yeah, short and sweet version of the last three months. Dusty is as cute as every and getting more adorable everyday. My parents got another st. bernard/mastiff mix to try and replace Steiger. And SB (Sarah Beth) got a teaching job over in Emery county and so she will be moving soon too. Yes, lI will try to do better at updating more often, but with being a newlywed and in my first year of pharmacy school, no guarentees. 

Oh, I also am writing this blog from the brand new laptop Colton's parents bought me for a wedding present. It's awesome!!! I'm so excited to actually have a computer that works. I also have a kitchen-aid now. Yes, life is good.
