I love HGTV. Check out these pics, courtesy of ratemyspace.hgtv.com...This edition, BATHROOMS:




I love how simple it is. The color is great. However, I would like a stone counter, like granite instead of tile.

This is a cute idea for a guest/kids bath, love the tile!


I can't wait to have my own house one day!

June Travels!

June has been quite eventful for Heath and I! we were able to go see Tiffany's home-coming in California! AND we were able to finally go on my graduation trip to see Guatemala--where Heath served his mission! It was so great to see where he spent 2 years of his life serving the Lord--I have so much respect for him! It would be so hard!

Here are some pictures of our adventures!

Post-grad life.

So, post graduation. I'm still alive. And so is Heath for that matter. It's been nice to just relax and get caught up on some much needed R & R.

So what are we doing with ourselves?

I am studying for the NCLEX--the test to become a 100% certified Registered Nurse. Hopefully I will take it sometime in June.

Heath is studying for the LSAT--we all know what that is. He takes it on June 8th.

We've also been seeing some family on the side, which is always good.

Also, I've decided to run a 5K and have started training for that (its on the 4th of July). It's a good way to get back in shape, plus, I've never participated in one! So it will be a new experience!

Update.

So I took my last final of my undergraduate career today. Humanities 202, check. Regardless of the herd of junior/high school kids there for some french fair, I made it the the HTRC and I think I did just fine. Thank goodness.

I had my College of Nursing Graduation banquet tonight. It turned out fantastic! I helped coordinate it and I am really happy that I chose to be a part of planning graduation. I've made some amazing friends in the Nursing program, seriously, you have no idea. I'm a little sad to move on with life, but ready at the same time.

Tomorrow I leave for New Haven, CT. Can I just say that I am really excited?! what an opportunity! I've never been there and I've always been fascinated by the whole "Ivy League" thing. More to come on that.

Also, I graduate next week. YES! finally!!! my family comes on Wednesday--also YES! and then as of Thursday I will be a college graduate! years of hard work in the making and it is finally here.

Also....with my sister comes this little delight.

i am leaving behind my Samsung Glide, which has started to become, what I call "possessed". (I was slamming it on my kitchen counter the other day because it wouldn't work....yikes.) and turning to the fantastic world of the Blackberry and I am SO excited! (I don't care if anyone has any bias against it. I like it. therefore anyone else's opinion is just their 2 cents. sorry.)

Cant wait!

Holy fantastic!

Check this clip out. Seriously, I did not expect this!

She's fantastic! what a splendid surprise! and I have to say, I'm a little too pleased that she shocked some of those snooty-looking girls in the crowd. you go Susan Boyle!

I don't know much about it, but I keep hearing about Twitter. I want people's opinions. Does anyone use Twitter? Is it even worth signing up?

Time flies...

So, I have a pretty busy month. I have my last day of clinical this coming Tuesday, I can't believe I am already at the end!

On April 8th we are going to see Wicked up in SLC! I love this play...I am soooo stoked!

Then on the 17-20th I am flying with one of my professors and another student to present a poster about our experiences in Ecuador at Yale! It is for the Unite for Sight conference.

I am pretty excited! I just started working on the poster today and found out there are going to be 2,500 people there! holy crap....not to mention like 60 different countries. I am really grateful for the opportunity! There will be more to come!

Next, GRADUATION on the 23 and 24th! My family is flying in and Heath's family will come down from SLC! I can't wait!!

FINALLY, Heat and I are going on a little get away right after graduation to GUATEMALA! We will be seeing some of these sites:

Tikal Ruins

Lake Atitlan

Heath served in the Guatemala City North Mission, so it will be fun to go back and see some of the sights before we get too busy with life! It is going to be a busy month, but I plan on loving every minute of it!!
