One Year Ago

One year ago this month Derek and I loaded up my little Ford Focus and left Utah. This might not seem like a big deal, but the longer we are away, the more I realize this event was a really big deal! First I have to say, coming to Miami was ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do for our family. The blessings we have received and the happiness we have here is beyond what I expected when we made this move. Miami is home in every sense of the word and I couldn't be happier to be here.

I also have to say that Utah gave me so much! It was where I grew into an adult. I learned so much about myself while I lived there and I am so glad I had the chance to leave my home and have an adventure. BYU provided me with opportunities to learn and be challenged academically at a level I never anticipated. I learned to love who I am while I lived there, truly understanding my purpose in life. I made the best friends I have working and studying there (Love you guys!).

I will admit I got in my car and didn't look back when I left. But some days I miss the people and experiences I had there. I really miss the affordable food (Zupas, Cafe Rio, Everything at Riverwoods) and of course the FroYo. I am glad that I can look back at my time in Utah and remember a lot of fun times and great memories that helped me get to the place I am in now.

MISS YOU UTAH!

Mom's Trip

Since Mom came out for graduation, we ended up doing a lot of other things while she was here. We packed Sarah and Ryan, shopped and then shopped some more. Mom and I both could have done more, but Sarah had her fill. Another important part of the trip was FOOD! We love to eat together and laugh together, so we did a lot of that! I dont know why, but pretty much all my pictures from the trip that werent graduation were of food. Pretty funny. I am so glad Mom came though and we had the chance to make more memories! Love you Mom!
