The End Of An Era

I have lived in Provo for the last four years. I always felt ashamed to say that I've loved my experience here in "happy valley" (I don't know why, probably because people are so ruthless about BYU and Provo in general). But, as Matt and I packed up our apartment and I realized that if all goes according to plan I'd never live in Provo again, I couldn't help but cry. College has taught me so many valuable lessons. I figured out how to pay bills, do my own taxes, clean, cook, hold a church calling, have a job, etc. I also can't imagine my life without my college education, and the passion I've grown for community health.
Obviously meeting Matt was the highlight of my experience here. We dated, got engaged, and spent our first 2 years of marriage being students here. Thinking back on all of the memories I have in this small town, I can't help but feel pride in saying how much I love Provo.
Despite the security of our lives here, we are excited for what lies ahead of us. I can't wait to see what our future holds. :)

Tatertots

My cute sister-in-law Chelsea just opened an etsy shop!

She makes fabulous hair clips that are darling for little girls and make great gifts.
Make sure to stop by and take a look. :)

p.s. Chelsea's sister also has an etsy shop that I would love to purchase from. As you can see, they are one extremely talented family!

Las Vegas

Last weekend we went to Las Vegas with Matt's brother Greg and his wife Rachel. We had a blast!! Matt and Greg got to go golfing, and Rachel and I sat by the pool and got way too much sun. We stayed at the Luxor, which was actually quite cool. The pyramid was kind of freaky, and totally made me want to go to Egypt (this was before you told me it was gross, Steffany).

All in all, it was a fabulous trip and so fun to spend some time with Greg and Rachel before we leave for the summer. Matt leaves for Atlanta in 2 weeks..I don't leave until May 14th. We have so much to do before then. I can't even think about it without crying (literally). We're so glad we got to go on this little gateway before the madness starts. :)
