And then honeymooning on this ship.


Please let the next 31 days come quick...

Date Night.

With the stress of planning a wedding, finding an apartment, and trying to be patient enough to endure 6 more long weeks of being engaged my adorable fiancé took me out for a much needed date. The day consisted of golfing, PizzaPieCafe, fireworks, and pictures.

Aren’t we adorable?

Pepsi.

Pepsi. Cheddar and Sour Cream chips. Two of the greatest inventions ever for two reasons..
1. Creates the best roadtrip snack
2. Has the ability to get you out of a slump (which just so happens to be today.)

Love.

In 2007 my life changed, I met a boy, unlike any other.
I could talk to him forever & never get bored.
I could tell him anything & never be judged.
He became my best friend, my boyfriend, my true love.
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and now 2011
I spent all of my time falling in love with this boy.
Getting to know him on different levels.
Finding out more about him, as well as myself.
Being completely comfortable around him without having to work at it.
Seeing the world through different eyes.
Learning about love.
Feeling emotions I had never felt before.
Caring about someone else more than myself.
Realizing I would do anything in the world to see him happy.
It wasn't always perfect but no matter what, it was always worth it.
I wouldn't change anything.
He encourages me.
He believes in me.
He reminds me constantly that we are meant for each other.
& what we have is real.
And everyday we are just that much closer to what we've been waiting for.
And someday, soon, we will be living our dream.

That someday soon just happens to be this summer. July 29th to be exact. Thats right, I am engaged. I couldn't be more excited or happier.

Internship.

I have reached the downward slope of my undergraduate degree. Yet I don't feel old enough to be more than a halfway through my bachelors degree. I don't feel responsible enough to start taking LSAT prep classes. And I definitely don't feel grown up enough to start applying for law school. Reality really hit when I got asked to be UVU's Presidential Cabinet Intern. I will be interning directly with the Vice President of Student Affairs. From talking with him I have realized that we have alot in common regarding education and careers. Our educational paths align with political science degrees, master degrees, and juris doctrates (with no intention of ever actually practicing law). Our career paths are parallel with dreams of public administration and service. He is going to be a great mentor and advisor. One that I am confident will help me reach my full potential. One of my main responsibilities as an intern will be to help teach his American Government class. While some may find this slightly intimidating I find it extremely exciting. I have always had an internal struggle on whether I wanted to do law school or teach high school government. While a college level government class is nothing like high school it is going to be a definite learning experience. What am I saying? This whole internship will be a definite learning experience. One that will help me reach my goals, learn and grow, as well as succeed in all aspects regarding my future.

Cruise.

This past week my family and I sailed on the Carnival Splendor to the beautiful Mexican Riviera. It was a much needed vacation and one I wouldn't mind reliving. The great thing about cruising is there is soo much to do every second of every day. It was like a constant 7-day fiesta. During the week journey we made stops at Cabo San Lucas. twice. and Puerto Vallarta. The rest of the time was spent sailing the seven seas. Some highlights of my week were....
