Two Years!

Today we celebrate our 2-year Anniversary!

It fell on a Sunday this year, and so we TRIED to celebrate it yesterday...

Jeff made us a really yummy breakfast, and then we were going to go to the Salt Lake Temple, and then hike up in the foothills of Salt Lake. But just as we were going out the door to go to the temple, I looked at my recommend, and it had expired 2 days earlier! And then it started raining heavily for the next few hours. So that ended both of those plans!


So we basically just relaxed, started our fast and watched X-men 2 in preparation for the Wolverine movie (when it hits the dollar theatres). Still a great day!



Today, we went to our new ward, and loved it!


Then we went on a long, and beautiful walk:

We saw so many beautiful tulips,













We passed BLAIR street!!! And HAD to take pictures!




We happened to pass Wilford Woodruff's Farm,


This MASSIVE TREE, ( I am that tiny white speck in the bottom left)





And ended up at Liberty Park: Which is the most awesome park I've ever been to. There was a nice walking trail, a huge sidewalk for rollerbladers, skateboards and bikes, a Ferris Wheel, and a pool, tennis courts, an Aviary with beautiful birds, a picnic area, a pond with a bridge that goes to a little island in the middle of it, paddle boats, and even hippies that play drums.








There were lots of people walking their dogs, and this lady..... walking her iguana?????? I don't know... we didn't ask, we just snapped a picture!




And finally, passed by First Encampment Park on the way home




And Here we are at home, our new apt!




We love our little apartment in this cute 4-plex. We also love living so close to downtown, because there is so much fun stuff withing walking distance... as you can see from all the pictures!
We have had a wonderful day, and a wonderful two years! Here's to many more!

So BUSY to So BORED in one week!




Last week, I was so busy!!! And this week I have been so bored! Well, I have actually kept myself busy... but it's been a struggle.




What changed?




Well, everything, I guess!







I graduated!
(Never thought this day would come, and never EVER thought I would be as sad as I am!)

What a stud! If it weren't for him I wouldn't be graduating. True story!
This is kind of a silly picture. But I made her wear my hat, because if everything in her life had been as smooth as mine, she would have graduated that day also. She is basically wonderful! And my sweet Mom came! I was so grateful to have her there! I will never forget her sacrificeand support! Thanks Mom!
AND.............................
WE MOVED!!!
(Pictures to come)
It made for a crazier week, but we moved to Salt Lake, so Jeff no longer has to spend 2-3 hours driving! He did for a year, with little complaints! He loves the non-driving!
So I guess the Provo chapter of our life is closed. I feel like it is over too suddenly, but we are very excited to be here in Salt Lake, and excited about our future!
But it really is amazing how much down time I have. I am doing my internship still, but it UNPAID, and part-time, so I spend hours everyday looking for jobs. I had an interview on Monday, a group interview. 21 people for one position. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. I know everything will work out, and maybe I'll gain some much needed patience in the process!
