Oh, hello there.

I'm still here.

My life has been filled with momentous occasions and I had the best of intentions to post them to this little place. I will just share some pictures, mainly for myself. 

I have lots on my mind and lots of big things happening soon in my life that I don't want to forget the moments I have experienced in the last little while. 

Here goes...

Graduation was on April 27th. It was so rewarding to finally walk and get my diploma! My brother Brady graduated also so it was a big family celebration and I loved every minute. It feels awesome to know I have made it through college and have accomplished so much along the way. 

The last month of school was so much fun with my students. I sure do miss them!

 My family was a huge help when it came to cleaning out my classroom. 

 

I have to remind myself that I really was a teacher this past year because it went by so fast that 
I can't believe it even happened.

I started off my summer with a nap.

It was heavenly. 

Then I began 2 weeks of tending for a family in my ward. I got to hang out with their rad 6 kids while their parents went to adopt their brother. They were so excited when their parents were finally coming home so we made lots of decorations to celebrate. We made cupcakes, decorated the car windows, drew on the drive way with chalk and each of the kids made an adorable poster to hang on the garage.

It was so good to get to hang out with them especially since I was really missing being in my classroom with my adorable students.

June was a good month for many reasons. One being that I got to go with my family to St. George for a weekend during which we drove to Las Vegas to see Phantom of the Opera. On the way down Jeff and Rachel gave me an awesome graduation/mission present!
I love my new camera!

Phantom was simple amazing!

After I finished babysitting I did a mini Craft Camp with 4 sweet little girls in my ward. We did crafts for 3 hours each day and had a good time.

 

The week after that it was our ward's Girl's Camp so I did some more babysitting, 

because that's just what I do! 
I took the little kiddos to Neptune Park in Saratoga, which is AWESOME! 
If it wasn't 97 degrees outside we would have stayed all day.

And the week after that... will be on my next post. 

In other news... it is less than a month till I enter the MTC! WOW-SAH!
