as of late.

life has been a little crazy busy as of late. here is just a little recap.

baby shower for four of the eight girls who are currently with child in our lovely little dietetics program.  here are four of the beautiful mothers-to-be... [victoria, amy, dani, andrea]

it was a grand ol' time for everyone involved.

the roomies and i decided to make a shrine on our wall for all our wonderful friends who have entered into matrimony recently (basically any invitation we've received in the last year). don't even worry only four of those invitations are not mine. yeah.

studied, studied, studied for finals. calculated my grades to see just how poorly i could do on each of my finals and still get decent grades...then watched a lot of gilmore girls.

pre-finals face...

post-finals face...

un-pictured...much happier.

precious christmas party with the roommates. only took one picture of our four chritmas trees but we had a fun little gift exchange and went to dinner as a finals-are-over celebration/last hurrah before the break.

so so happy to be home with the fam for christmas. i may never go back to provo [i wish].

rise and shout...?

i got an all-sports pass this year. first time ever.  i must admit i'm a fair weather fan (and secretly cheer for the u when we play them-be proud dad) but it's been fun to go to the games and show some school spirit. mick even came to one of the games with me...

in other news. i registered for classes for the last. time. ever. yes, i'm officially gradating in april. no more saturday's spent doing this...

 although you must admit, it is legit. (rhyming intentional) 

i'll be the first to admit (apparently i like that word. a lot.) that i've spent a good amount of time wishing to leave provo...and byu. i just feel it's time to move on.  and though i won't miss homework, or the freezing hike up to campus in the winter, or the stress i feel every time i enter the testing center... i did have a little moment walking up to campus the other day when i realized "wow, i'm really lucky to be able to go to school in such a beautiful place."  i really am so blessed to be able to attend byu.  it's a great school and i've learned a lot. both about myself and dietetics (sometimes more than i'd even care to know actually).  i may just miss this place after all. at least a little.

one year older and wiser too.

my grandma turned the big 9-0.  yes, the dear woman is NINETY.  i can't believe it. while she may not know what day it is or even that she's at her own birthday party, she is still the sweetest lady in the world and i love her to pieces. just a few photo's of the big b-day bash.

...notice the creepy little boy's head sticking out out of the top of g-ma's. awkward...

could she be any more precious? i mean really...

looks good eh? food poisoning...pretty sure that happened

 
ended the weekend with a little visit to this place.

was it just me or was conference exceptionally good this time around? okay, it's always great. but something about this time. i just loved it. the church is true! that's all there is to it.


well hope your weekend was as good as mine.

i'm a slow bleeder.

this is what i do at school...

okay, so you can't really tell but i am pricking my finger to test my blood glucose levels.  this is the first prick of seven. apparently i'm a very slow bleeder.  it was a struggle to get enough blood to even do the test. last time i gave blood they almost couldn't use it because it was taking too long and apparently you only get 20 minutes before they reject your blood.  not on my watch! literally... (p.s. i don't have diabetes in case you were worried...)

sometimes i love being a dietetics major.

oh school. it's a love/hate relationship. senioritis has already set in. only seven more months...

oh sister.
