Back in Idaho/Utah!

Well, for those of you who haven't heard already. Nick and I are back in Logan working and going to school. Nick and I decided it was more important for him to get this physiology class and get his CNA this summer so it will increase his chances of getting into the Nursing program this winter. It has definitely been a crazy past week! We have been fortunate enough to have family here in Logan that has allowed us to live with them. Nick got his old job back and has started school. I am in the process of interviewing for a couple of jobs and hopefully I can get one soon. Along with being stressed to no end, I was able to go with Ericka and Darren to the good ol' Barrus family reunion. I had a blast seeing everyone and being able to catch up with those cousins I haven't seen in 2 years or more! I missed all of those who couldn't come. It was fairly cold but we still enjoyed spending time in the mountains.

This was at the talent show and this was pretty hilarious! I really enjoyed each person's part!

San Diego Temple

Well, this was the most exciting experience since we've been here in San Diego. We were able to go to the temple one morning this last week. It was so good to do a session where it was comfortable and seemed like we were home away from home. This temple had an amazing interior as well as the outside. It was a good experience for the both of us and we hope to be able to go often while we're here since it is only 12 miles away. Life has thrown us some curve balls but we trying to take them as we go and just remember the important things in life. My dad keeps telling me to live in the present because we waste so much time worrying about what mistakes we've made in the past and what might happen in the future but we just have to be happy and enjoy every moment we are currently living in. Family is completely the most important thing our lives. We would be nothing without them. We are so grateful to have such wonderful families and we surely do miss them.

CaLiFoRnIa!!

Well here we are in San Diego, California. Things are going relatively swell here except that Meg and I stayed out in the sun a little too long and got baked! Due to this irresponsible act, I became dehydrated (we assume) and I passed out Sunday morning which during the fall I managed to hit my head on the night stand and get a scrape on my hip which I have no idea what I hit that on! Needless to say, I am still alive and doing great. I am of course a little sore from the sunburn still but I am fairly steady on my feet once again! So, drink lots of water and don't stay out in the blistering sun for 3 hours!

The mark of me passing out! (first time passing out ever!)

Here is Nick, Eric, and I eating at Applebees!

This picture is at Applebees also! We are a little pink!

Graduation!

Well, I finally graduated from college! That is the sentence I have been waiting to say for a very long time and it feels great! I want to thank everyone for helping me get there which includes a lot of people. We had a very busy day trying to clean our apartment and get everything we could packed in our car. We also had a nice lunch which quite a few friends and family members were able to make it and it was lovely until I lost my wedding ring! Thankfully, someone found it which was a blessing since I had to be at my graduation 5 minutes from when they found it! Here are few pictures from graduation. Nick took a few pictures and thought he was a professional photographer so he made me post the one where I'm looking off into the distance..cheesy I know! Enjoy!

New Obsession!

So I just finished reading these three books this last week! I am not a reader at all and I figured I probably should become one. I borrowed these from my mom and thought I might get around to reading them this summer while missing everyone but I started the first one and I couldn't stop! Nick was wondering if he had a wife this past week because I became completely wrapped up in this crazy stuff! Well, I am hooked and thats all there is to it! I absolutely can't wait for the next and last book to come out in August! I have been having withdrawls already from not knowing what happens in the end! I recommend this series to anyone! When people described it to me it didn't seem too appealing to me but somehow I opened it and couldn't put it down! Anyhow, life is going pretty good right now. I am starting to feel the stress coming already with having only two weeks left of school and us moving to California! Sorry we don't have anything too newsworthy to be posting! We'll keep you all updated!

March Updates!

Well Friends and Family!! I figured I should explain to all those who are wondering why and what is taking Nick and I to San Diego. We will be moving to San Diego the day after I graduate!! So May 3rd we will be packing as much as we can into our car and will be on our way to the beach..(we wish) Nick will be selling security alarms for APX this summer and I will be working in the office. We are still a little nervous about this crazy move but we think (as of today) it will be a good experience for us. We figured we might as well get all of this crazy risk-taking out of our systems before we start having kids and we figure we have awhile to do that. We will be moving back to Logan so Nick can continue his schooling. Hopefully I can find a job here in Logan! So those are our plans for the summer! As of this last weekend, we got to stay with one of my friends from the business college and were able to attend one of Nick's best friend's wedding sealing in Salt Lake and it was really neat to be on the flip side of the ones being married! We were also able to make it to the reception the following day in Burley which was so fun and neat to see a lot of our high school friends again. Nick came back for work on Monday and he was so nice to let me stay with my parents for a few days (its our spring break) so I tackled the ol' attic in my parents house and well, we made some great improvements on cleaning it out but we still have some work to do! Other than this fun past weekend nothing else has been going on with us and I can't believe it is already mid-march! Hope all is doing well!

I guess I was tagged like most of you but it only took me a good month or so to respond! Oh Well

10 Years Ago I Was...
Well, I was 12 years old and I am not quite sure what I was doing with my life in those awkward years. I am sure I was wanting to wear make-up but wasn't allowed until I was 14. I was probably thinking I was on top of the world because I had just gotten into Young Womens. Although, I do remember my first girls camp that summer and I had a blast at Kum-by-Yah and there were rats in the main lodge! Good times!!

5 Things On My "To Do" List For Today:
Well its the evening right now so I'll make a list for tomorrow.

Things I Would Do If I Became A Billionaire:
First off I would buy a house bigger than our dinky little basement that in one spot you can see all of the house! It's cozy!

Build a cabin for my dad..and myself..and what the heck..the rest of my family and Nick's!!

Something Most People Don't Know About Me:
Well, where to begin? Nick has come to realize that what goes on in my head is completely crazy! I usually play out these crazy scenarios in my head where I might say something sassy to a teacher or a peer that I am annoyed with or something crazy to a complete stranger. I also have a hard time relaxing when I can. I have to be doing something all the time even if it is wasting my life away looking at people's blogs and pictures!
