Graduation & weekend fun!

Best weekend ever! I think that is the best way I could describe it. It actually started at the beginning of the week when my mom came into town. We were able to go to lunch and shopping to celebrate both of our birthdays. My family hasn't been home for about four months and finally was coming back to visit! My dad and brothers came in on Thursday morning. It was so good to catch up and spend time with them. Thursday came and it was time for one of the biggest events, Graduation! It hadn't really hit me I was done until that night at commencement. When they finally said, "you are now graduates of UVU, you can move your tassels to the left!!" I am done!!! It was one of the best feelings ever I am pretty sure to hear those words. After graduation we went to Texas Road House. All I was craving was those rolls that they serve you. They are amazing! I was more than satisfied.

Friday was the convocations where I actually walked to get my diploma. It was an early morning because it was at 8 a.m., however, after that last ceremony I was done. I think I was driving Zack nuts as we were driving to the ceremony because we were almost late. I am the worst back seat driver and this just increased it. I felt way bad but luckily we made it in time!  After the convocation we took some pictures and then it was breakfast at Mimi's. Mm Such good breakfast! Later that day, Zack took me to get a pedicure :) Best husband award! He spoils me. After we went and got some hot dogs and played with our new Frisbee at the park. Friday was also a sad day. We had to put our cat Thomas down... we have had him for over 10 years! He was getting really old and it was his time to go. The vet told my dad he would be in cat heaven. We had a little burial for him that night! It made us all feel a little better!

 Saturday consisted of sleeping in, waking up to do some yard work, then one of my best friends Emily's wedding shower! I love weddings and am so excited for this one. Forgive me for the picture overload but I loved all of them way to much. Sadly my family had to head back to Arizona Saturday night... cant wait until they come back!

Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend!

Its almost time!

I cant believe I am finally done with all my classes! Graduation is less than a week away (6 days!) and I couldn't be more happy. Zack and I went to pick up my cap and gown yesterday. Sooo crazy! Such a great feeling to finally be done. We had to document it!

After picking up all my graduation things, Zack's phone stopped working! With no "genius bar" appointments at Fashion Place Mall, we had to take a trip down to City Creek. (not complaining, I love that mall!) After some time at the apple store, we were walking back to our car. To get back we had to go by J.Crew...... we all know I cant just walk by and not go in. Before I even said anything Zack asked, "Do you want to go in?" hahah he knows me to well. Everything is always just beautiful in the store! Even just going in makes me happy. While browsing we found some things we both loved. (Ill be posting these birthday surprises later!) Needless to say we didn't walk out empty handed. Couldn't say no!! But has everyone looked at May's Style Guide? I'm pretty sure I am obsessed with the neon/lime green craze going on. What do you think?

One of my favorite pages....

After a long day, we finally were able to come home and relax. This of course involved Modern Family. We have now bought all the seasons out I believe! Always makes me laugh and helps me relax a little bit! 

 Job interview today.. Wish me luck!

A Month of Countdowns...

This month has definitely  been full of countdowns! For the past 3 months I have been student teaching 8th grade at Indian Hills Middle school in Sandy. I have Loved it! Its so crazy to me that I am almost done... 1 more day! Its bitter sweet for me. So much work has been put into this semester and teaching but it has shown me how much I like love what I do. 

9 days: Nine more days until my family gets here! They moved in January to Arizona right after my wedding. Needless to say January was a crazy month. I miss them  and cant wait to see them!

10 days:  GRADUATION!!! I cant tell you how much work has been put into getting to this point. This past year school has not been easy.... not at all! However, I think I have learned more about myself in the past year than ever before. 

Yay!!!!!

14 days:  Birthday!  I feel like I am getting so old, but I am only turning 22! I am a huge birthday person and love celebrating them. Its a day all about you! Who doesn't love that?

28 Days: Emily & Stephens Wedding! I love these two and they are adorable. They will have the most beautiful wedding and I am excited to be apart of it! (best friends weddings are the best!) Plus they have the best photographer Jordan!!! We loved having her as our photographer!

And for the last countdown I have right now.... 
 
32 Days: Hawaii!!!!! Zack & I finally get to take our longer honeymoon! He has never been and I cant wait to show him a place that I love.
                                                          

 Weekend Fun

I am so exited for everything on this countdown! It makes life so much more fun when you have things to look forward to, and so many good things! This weekend was also a much needed time for relaxing. The best part was Zack had work off on Saturday! This meant that we could actually plan to do some things during the day. (and Friday we could stay up later! -- I know.. we are already old!) Friday night we went and saw the movie 42. I am going to be bold enough to say that it was  the best movie I have seen in awhile. Everyone needs to see it! We even went to the dollar store and purchased our candy for the movie.... (yeah we are obsessed with candy, movie theater popcorn, & of course our drink!)

This was what I decided to wear for this date night. Its always fun getting ready to go out. (don't mind the mess of a bedroom)

 

Top: J.Crew Factory (another great Red number here) Jeans: AE (old), Shoes: F21 (old), Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: Thrifted, Urban Outfitters (old) but loving this one! Necklace: Anthropologie (old)

 Saturday we got to enjoy our Pass of all Passes! (great investment!) We wanted to go Mini golfing however the weather disagreed with us and started to rain. Then Zack had a great idea to go to an indoor mini golf! We discovered Planet Play. For just a $1 we were able to do unlimited mini golf, laser tag, and go carts! Our friends Jenny and Calum joined us and we had a blast! (tons of children running around... but still a good time!) We ended Saturday with another movie with friends: Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Funny movie but I would have to say 42 was my favorite!

 Hope you all have a great Monday!
