Graduation!

I know I am a little late at getting these pictures up, but better late than never, right? We have finally graduated from college! I thought this day would never come. Clint got his Bachelor's in Finance and mine in Biology and Chemistry Education. My family came down and Clint's sister and brother-in-law (Jenni and Josh) came, too. We really appreciate all the love and support that we receive from our families and are grateful that they were willing to come watch us walk across a stage and hear our names being called. Clint's parents weren't able to make it because our neice was being baptized the same day in Boston, so they were there with her (we completely understand!).

I think that the highlight of the commencement was President Monson's talk. He is an amazing speaker! He talked about learning from the past, looking to the future, and enjoying the present. It was short and sweet and to the point (just how commencement talks should be!). Now that we have our Bachelor degrees, Clint is going to get his MBA this next year, and I am going to do Student Teaching in the Fall to complete my teaching certificate. This summer we are just going to work and enjoy time with friends and family.

February? Already?!?

It's already February, and it doesn't even feel like it! Clint and I are pretty boring people. Occasionally we will go and do something, but I always forget my camera! I'll admit that I'm a blonde at times. It amazes me how much people actually put onto their blogs! But, then I am reminded that they have children, and I don't. So, I make that my excuse as to why I don't post as much I should. I just don't have anything to post! : ) So, excuse my web-pictures, I just didn't want this post to be so boring!

January was fun. It was so nice to have those few days of such nice weather! Now that it is back to snowing, I can't wait for summer to come. I am already making many summer plans!
Can you guess where I want to go???

My brother, Jeremiah, got engaged to his girlfriend, McCall which was kind of a surprise to us all! But, we are super excited for her to be in our family. We need someone creative to pick up all of our non-creativeness slack. My family can be a little weird at times, so I sure am glad that we didn't scare her off!
Valentine's Day was great! I am the kind of person who doesn't really like Valentine's Day, and Clint knows this. But, this year I was determined to have a good day anyway. So, I told Clint to get me a few flowers (not too much because they cost a lot and they are pretty for only a few days) and to make me dinner. We had a couple of our friends, Dave and Jenna, over for a breakfast/lunch during the day which was so much fun! (Of course, I didn't take any pictures...) Clint is an amazing breakfast cooker (which would surprise anyone who knew Clint's cooking skills) so he and Dave made hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, and pancakes, and I made the muffins. It was so good. They did an awesome job!
After, we went on a walk up the canyon trail (I think that's what it's called) to walk off all that fat that we had just eaten. It was a nice day, contrary to what the weather man had said the day before. Then that night, Clint and I watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (Hillerious!) and had some ice cream. We were so full from lunch that we couldn't eat dinner! All in all, it was the best Valentine's Day I have ever had, and I think my scrouge-ness on the holiday has lifted ever so slightly. I guess only time will tell... : )

O, Christmas Tree!

While my sister, Jessica, was visiting us she helped me put up our Christmas Tree! We didn't have one of our own, and I have ALWAYS wanted my very own fake tree (I love the smell of real ones, but I'm not the best care taker...they always die!) so we went over to Wal Mart (it's the only place in town...literally) and scouted out fake trees. I wanted a big one because I love it when they are big. But, I didn't want it too big. The only ones that were left (that weren't pre-lit...I think that putting on the lights is the most fun of having a tree!) were 7 feet tall. I didn't think that it would be too big, so I got it. Well, come to find out, it's a little tall...there's no room for a star on the top...and it takes up 1/4 of our living room, but, we have a tree! I barely had enough ornaments to fit on the tree, that's why it looks a little sparse. And, our tree skirt is a little too small (as you can tell in the second picture), so we took it off and put presents under it instead. Next year we will have to invest in a bigger tree skirt! But, it sure it pretty when the lights are lit. I just love Christmas!

Clint and I acting oh so serious....like always!

Me, the tree (incase you couldn't see it...), Jessica and the santa that my mom-in-law made (crazy talented!)


The past few days it has been snowing like crazy here! This picture was just the beginning of a storm on last Saturday. The next day all the cars were covered. You could hardly tell which one was yours! And in our city, they don't plow the streets very well, so there is still snow on the ground from this snow storm; although you can't tell because it has snowed twice since then! We are just being blessed with snow (if that's what you want to call it). Our car is doing pretty good so far in the snow considering that it's a car. I am so jealous right now of people living in the southern States! Maybe I can convince Clint to move to Arizona for the winter...

Up Date...sorta

Ok, so I'm a slacker! School has been so crazy this semester! I seriously think it's September at times!
Because I'm not on my computer right now, there won't be any pictures, but I wanted to write SOMETHING...so here it goes...
Clint and I have just been going to school, working, and then going to school some more. Clint loves his job at the bank, and I love working at the school. So, for now, we love our jobs! School is a whole other story... For me, it's a love-hate relationship.
For Thanksgiving (which is the best holiday EVER...really, any holiday that is based around food is the best) we went up to PG and spent it with Clint's family. It was so fun seeing everyone, especially all the kids. It's crazy how fast they grow up! But, it also reminds Clint of why we don't have kids right now : )
I went over to my parent's house Thanksgiving night while Clint played XBox to look at the ads (Clint doesn't care). It's one of my family's traditions. My Dad gets 4 or 5 newspapers with all the ads in them, and we all look through them to see if there are any good deals in them. The reason why he gets so many of them is so that the younger kids (and maybe some of the older ones, too) can cut out what they want for Christmas, plus, there are 8 of us looking through them all at once. I'm sure you can imagine the madness. We have been doing it for as long as I can remember, I couldn't pass it up this year! I was a little disappointed in this year's ads...not a whole lot of good stuff (there were actually better deals online, you just had to look a little!)
My sister came back down with us after Thanksgiving and stayed with us for the weekend. SO MUCH FUN! But, since I do have pictures of that, I will save it for another day.
I think that's about it. Our life is pretty boring, especially around finals time (which is next week, ahh!)
Happy Holidays!

Summer Pictures!

COVE FORT

Clint and I decided to go and do something since the summer was almost over. Since we both work what feels like all the time, we didn't go very far. And since Cove Fort is less than an hour away from Cedar, that is where we went! If you ever get the chance to go, it's quite the experience.

Ahh...How cute!

Clint and I infront of the fort ready to go inside!

The courtyard inside the fort...kind of cool!

The Boy's Room...

...and the Girl's Room!

This is the kind of dress they used to wear! They sure were short...


ST. GEORGE
This Summer Clint and I went to St. George quite often...But, these are all the pictures we got...kind of pathetic, I know!

Clint and I infront of the St. George Temple goofing around...like always!

A more appropriate picture of Clint and I in front of the Temple.

Clint's top lip swelled up!
(he really has grapes in his mouth...)

We hope everone had a GREAT summer! Good luck this fall in school, work or whatever you are doing!!
