Class Reunion

So the other day I got a facebook invite from my high school class president for our 10 year reunion. A little early, considering it won't be for another 5 years, but it still got me thinking. What in the world have I done since I graduated from good ol Rocklin High School?!

Well, here's what I came up with: I went to BYU, I got married, graduated with my BS in Exercise Science, and started working full time as a Medical Assistant in a Pain Management clinic.

Not a bad list. But I sure hope I have more to add to that by the time my reunion comes around. Basically, I'm just not satisfied with where I am. Sure, my job is great, and it is a job. And I do have a degree and my husband is fantastic. But I feel like I'm selling myself short.

So our big plan, as Brad is graduating in December (thank goodness for that!), I will be applying to nursing school. Cross my fingers I get in so that in 2 years I will have a second BS in Nursing this time. Then Brad can go to grad school and get his DPT (doctorate in physical therapy). Oh yea, and somewhere in there we want to start a family.

But hopefully, all goes well and we can be done with school by 2015. Boy do I hope we are.

On a side note, is it just me, or does it seem like EVERYONE is pregnant?! Not that I'm upset, cause I'm excited for all my friends that are, it just is crazy, cause so many of them are. Maybe that means i'm getting old...

Why's it called Labor Day again?

So for this weekend, my parents and little sister came by! Woohoo! It was so nice to see them, even if it was only for like a day and a half. But they got in Friday evening and we went to the BYU women's soccer game. It was fun, even if it took them a while to build up their moment and score. Then we watched Glory Road back at our apartment (thank you netflix!). My parents, Brad, and I tried to walk down the street to get hawaiian shaved ice, but the shack was closed. Seriously?! Who closes Friday night?! Then I remembered that it was Labor Day weekend, which I guess could be a reason to close...a dumb one though.

We also got Harry Potter 1-6 shipped to us on Friday. Yup, all 6 movies for only$35! We love amazon. Another good buy of the week was getting Psych season 1 for $15 at best buy on Monday. I love sales!

On Saturday, we all went to the Provo Farmers Market at Pioneer Park. I have honestly never been, we have just driven by it. But my mom thought it sounded fun. So we went. Oh man, there were some cute crafts there. This one lady makes purses out of suit coats! They were cute, especially since she puts little designs on them. I wish I had gotten one, but Brad says I don't need it :( My mom and dad did buy us a picture from a photographer that was there. He had some cool pictures. Robyn bought some bracelets, and we would have looked at more, but my dad and Brad were totally bored. Plus we were all hungry. So we went to Tucanos! Yum! My dad is totally addicted so every time they come to visit, he always wants to go. Not that i'm complaining, but it makes me wonder if he is coming to see me or tucanos...ha ha.

After tucanos, my dad bought me a new phone! Hallelujah! I hated my old phone. It was small and dumb and had issues. And Robyn just got a new phone which was totally better than mine. So my awesome dad took me to the store and bought me a new one. It's a pantech, so nothing all fansy, granted I could do stuff on the internet if I wanted to pay for it, which I don't. But it's a touch screen with a full sliding key board. So texting is way easier, and i'm getting used to the touch screen. Not to mention, my phone is blue.

After the new phone, Dad and Brad left for the tailgate party/BYU vs. Washington football game. My mom, Robyn, her friend Calvin, and I played some games at my apartment, then we took Calvin back to his apartment. Then us girls went to the mall. I am happy to say i did not buy anything except a wallflower scent (Autumn) which was on sale. But the buy 3 get 3 free was totally tempting. My Dad loved the football game, especially since BYU won, and I had fun with my mom and sister.

They all left early Sunday morning. Then we went up to Sandy for a baby blessing for Brad's cousin's new baby. It was fun seeing a bunch of his family again. Plus I got to hold Audrey. Then we came home and crashed. We were a little tired after the busyness.

Monday, I cleaned, we ran errands, ran into some old friends in Winco, and hiked the Y. Yea, after being in Provo for roughly 5 years, I have finally hiked the Y. Man, it is harder than it looks. Gaining 1000 feet in elevation in 1 hour is hard on the body. But it is a great day for it. And we got jamba juice afterwards.

In sum, that was our non-laborous Labor Day, Family filled, weekend. And while today sucked cause it felt like monday, tomorrow is wednesday!

Last Semester in Provo!

Yay, I could not be happier! Brad started his last semester at BYU this week and we are so estactic. Not that we haven't loved our time at BYU, but seriously, we are tired of the college town. Our ward is full of people who buy houses here and love provo. We don't! I frankly am just plain tired of students and all the crazy driving, long lines at movies, and loud freshman. Brad laughs at me, but he is tired of it all to. So we are both counting down the days until december ends and we will both officially be graduates of BYU. YAY!! Plus it's football season and soccer season again. I'm more excited about the womens soccer and Brad is more excited about football. But they are both good reasons to get out of our apartment and enjoy the cooler air. I just have to stop glaring at all the loud freshman and awkward dates.

On another note, my parents and little sister are coming out this weekend one their way to drop Robyn off at BYU-I! Crazy! I'm so excited for her but it's still weird to me that my baby sister is starting college! Oh man. But we are excited to see them for the 2 days they will be here. Plus I made my dad super happy when I told him that he could that he could have my ticket to the football game against washington this saturday. He hasn't been to a BYU football game for forever, his last one was at Stanford, when BYU was still occasionally playing Stanford. So it's been forever, not to mention that he hasn't been in LaVelle Edwards Stadium since his college days when the stadium was way smaller and as he told me "the lucky guys brought little radios so they could hear the play-by-plays". So it will be a boys night out deal with my dad, Brad, and Brad's dad. Then I can hang out with my mom and Robyn.

I just can't believe summer is over. That deserves a whole nother "Crazy". But we have had fun this summer. We are pretty tan from floating the weber, lake powell, and Brad working outside. We have had to have things fixed on our car (like the brakes today) and I have taken my CNA test. I know, finally right?! And I have read the Hunger Games and Catching Fire. I have to say, these are not my favorite books. I honestly think i would read twilight over them. But that's because the hunger games are so dang political and the girl does not develop, change. It's just bad new after bad news. Sure, I will probably eventually read that last book, Mockingjay, but I can wait. I'll just stick with Harry Potter and be a happy camper.
