i actually graduated.

yep, it happened. it was awesome...sad...happy...just plain crazy.  it's been a long journey and now i'm moved back home (yeah, go ahead and judge) until i start my internship in boise in august. until then i'm trying to find a summer job...ugh.  here are just few pictures of the recent happenings...

skipped commencement for em's wedding. best decision i've ever made. it was beautiful, as was she.

peace out...number 2...? not sure.                             success.    

future byu graduate?

if i fall in and my robe gets wet...                          another success.

best ladies i know.

couldn't have done it without them...no but really. i couldn't have. thanks for makin' in happen parents.

i will miss our sister dates and tri-weekly lunches. love you sister.

 
graduation cupcakes. best part of the whole day.

now excuse me while i scour craigslist to look for a job.

come on, make a difference...

let's just talk about this for a minute.  

so i have this friend. she is awesome. her name is sam. and she has cystic fibrosis (aka: cf). if you haven't heard much about this disease before, it is very difficult to live with. it effects your life in every way from you diet (helloooo i'm a dietitian [in training]) to your family/lifestyle, to your breathing, to...well like i said, everything.

sam is one of three of the girls in her family who deals with cf. her sister is currently in seattle awaiting a double lung transplant...and thus a chance for a "new beginning".  there is a cf walk in boise on june 2, 2012 and it would be so amazing if you are in boise and could sign up to participate. it's a simple thing that can make a huge difference. just follow the link here...

it's as simple as that. just do it.

it's about dang time.

...for me to graduate...

4 schools. 5 apartments. 27 roommates. 3 majors. and about a million mid-life college crises later, i'm actually graduating.

it's been a crazy experience and i've actually been slightly much more nostalgic than i anticipated i would be. here is a glimpse of the last few days of my college experience...

last day of class with these 39 wonderful people...

i'm pretty sure i spent a good part of the past two years of my life in this very room...

team b team fabulous. good memories...every wednesday morning. 8:00 am.

closing banquet.

there is no way i would have survived these past two years without the help of these lovely ladies.

i owe a lot to these women. best professors on campus. {not biased at all of course...}

only my favorite g-chatting friend of all time. not sure why it took us so long to realize we were meant to be friends.

one more final to go and i'm officially a college g.r.a.d.u.a.t.e. 
real life...here i come.

the job hunt...

i hate nothing more in this world than job hunting. unfortunately that is what i have to do right now...moving back to boise and looking for a summer job before i start my internship.

looking on craigslist i've found some promising prospects...

i did dance team in high school...that counts as "experienced" right?
as i told my mother: desperate times call for desperate measures. 

don't be jealous...

but i am going to see him in concert on june 23rd.  pit seats. yes i will most likely be within inches of this beautiful man. accompanied by the sis (mick) and the roommate (ali).

can we just take a moment to talk about how attractive he is? and how manly and wonderful his voice is?...and how in love with him i am? oh chris...

i mean, really. those dimples. tell me he's not the most beautiful man you've ever seen. in a word...smitten.

june. come faster.

guess what...

i got a dietetic internship! yep. at idaho state university {in boise}
so...i'm moving to boise.

next step on the road to becoming a registered dietitian.
so so happy. can't wait for the next step.
...let the journey begin...
