Yellow House!

I am all about goals in life. nothing better than crossing off something on a "to do list" for me. I moved to Logan four years ago. One thing I love to do more than anything is what I call "house shopping" driving around looking at people's houses. I love to do it. After moving to Logan I found the most incredible house I have ever seen, right across the street from the temple. It is seriously my dream home. I have LOVED this house for four and a half years now. I would ALWAYS try to convince other people to come to the door with me and try to look inside.

One time Ashley Hall and I got to the front door and look inside and the family was having dinner. so mission was not accomplished. That was the closes I have ever come. Back in October Mandi Burton and I made a list of things to do while I still lived in Logan, the yellow house tour was one of them.

Well yesterday it happened.... I really did it. The Burton's and I were at the temple and I looked over to the yellow house and thought, now is my chance. I convinced Whitney Burton to come to the door with me. I knew I could count on Whit!!! We first practiced what to say so we didn't look SO weird, just kinda weird. We got to the front door and Janet (my new best friend) answered. I explained to her how much I have loved her house for four years and she let us come in. She told me people do this all the time it was nothing new. I think the part that got her is when I asked if I could take a picture in her house. She was TOTALLY up for it. I was so happy. It was beautiful inside. Everything I have dreamed of and more. one dream in my life crossed off!!! I want to own it one day! I think it is amazing!

GRADUATION!!!

I really did it... I am a college grad from Utah State University! I graduated on Saturday morning at 10:30. I woke up to a phone call from Kev (my older brother) telling me that because of the snow, they would not be able to make it down... Well if you know me at all any and everything was making me cry that day, so of course I started to cry because I wanted my family to be there. I got over it and started to get ready. All of the graduates met in the Field house to get ready. We walked from the Field house to the Spectrum. The coolest part of graduation is walking to the Spectrum with graduation music playing the whole way there. It was amazing! Right when I got around the corner about to walk into the Spectrum, I saw my parents and grandparents. Of course started crying again.

When the graduates walk through the tunnel all of the professor are standing and clapping for us. Again brought tears to my eyes. I found where my family was sitting as soon as I got inside. I kept looking up and my dad kept walking in and out of his seat. When I looked up for like the tenth time I saw him walking down with Sedrah in his arms. Kev and Cristy SURPRISED me and decided to come down. Again tears coming down my face. I couldn't believe it.

After Graduation we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch! It was so good and fun to be with my family and especially my grandparents. We got my bed all moved and I again cried my eyes out. I am just going to miss this place. I have loved living in Logan. I will never forget the memories I had with so many different people.
