Chopped off

So I had grown my hair out for a couple of years and decided I would chop it off after graduation like I did when I graduated from high school. So about a week later I finally was able to get it cut off. I had about 11 inches cut in the ponytail and then a little extra to even it out. My cousin Summer was the one who cut it and I think she did a good job. (Thanks Summer!). The pictures aren't the best because the batteries in the camera ended up being dead so of course I had to use my phone. I like it a lot because it will be a lot easier when we move to Las Vegas because it's so hot and it'll be easier to manage.

Before...
Getting it cut off...
It's off!!!
And After...

Eric did end up getting a summer internship at NSTec in Las Vegas so we are moving to Las Vegas!!! So we are going to be moving there for the summer and I am so excited and very proud of Eric for getting this internship. It'll be a really good experience and hopefully a lot of fun.

Graduation!!

Holy goodness I am a college graduate!! It still doesn't seem like it and probably won't until next fall when I don't have to go to school. I graduated with a BS in PE. So the ceremony was kind of long, about 3 hours, but not as bad as I though it was going to be because I had the itouch and I watched part of a movie and played some games to help pass the time. At the beginning of the ceremony a professor gave the invocation and blessed all of the different colleges... except mine which is the College of Education. I kept waiting for him to say something but I guess he didn't think it was that important. Oh well.

This picture is of me finally finding my family in the back after the ceremony.

This is of me and Eric and one of my favorite ones.
In front of my college banner.
This is of me and Candida. She is so awesome!
These are just a few of me and one of both of me and Eric in front of the Idaho State sign.
This is me and Tia who also graduated with her Master's in Occupational Therapy. Congrats Tia. It's kind of funny because when I graduated high school my oldest sister was graduating from college and when I'm graduating college so is my other sister.
Here are some of me and my parents and one with Eric. All three of them have helped me so much in my college years and I probably wouldn't have been able to make it without there help. So thank you guys so much for all that you have done for me.
There was this banner that all the graduates were able to sign (I signed mine in April at a graduate/senior thing) that was displayed on the stage during the graduation ceremony and will displayed at the alumni house afterwards. This one is just of me pointing my signature out and then the next one is a close-up.
Notice how long my hair is in the pictures because I am cutting it sometime this week and I am so excited!

Cupcake Pops

So a girl in the ward (who is awesome) started this baking club where they get together bake some cool things and then give them to charity. Good idea. Yesterday was the first meeting and we made cupcake pops. They were really cute and super good.
This one is some of the girls working on the pops.

The process. Making cake balls-> dipping them in dark chocolate and inserting stick-> dipping them in white chocolate-> putting on sprinkles.
Tonya actually said she majored in sprinkling. She was pretty good at it.
The finished product.
Charlotte's and Tonya's baby's already checking each other out.
These are just some cute pictures of Mckay eating one of the pops.
As we were finishing up the pops, Sam was standing on one of the chairs watching us and he was able to sneak a few of the pops. I got a picture of one of the times. I think he really enjoyed them.
So thanks Heidi for starting this and I am excited for all the other times to come.
