Crazy Life Changes


So it's true.  After all of my moaning and griping about how HORRIBLE school is/was, I am finally done.  I actually finished in December and I am just horrible at blogging.  Now that I have some idea of scheduling again (I will explain soon) I have decided I will be better at blogging. (Especially because we will be living in New York this summer.  (I will explain this as well.)  Back to graduation, I finally got my Bachelor's in Business Management from UVU. Hip Hip Hooray! Only took me 4.5 years!!!!

(Changes in a NUT SHELL) My sweet husband, decided last summer after studying for the gruesome, horrible, awful, disgusting MCAT that he couldn't go through with his plans to go to Med School.  He was always in the BYU Marriot School, but was doing his PreMed requirements on the side, so that he could be a doctor.  He finally decided (Much too late, but just in time) that he would like to be an Investment Banker.  So we kicked ourselves into high gear because with Blake already being a junior he was way behind.  To make a long story short, Blake worked so hard over 6 months to do interview after interview, and to learn everything he needed to know for the interviews about investment banking.  There were many courses he had to teach himself because he hadn't taken all of the classes a normal investment banking student would take.  I am so proud of him because he ended up getting an internship with Wells Fargo this summer in Investment Banking in New York.  We were so scared that it was too late and that he missed his opportunity because he hadn't been preparing as long as some people.  After a TON of hard work, he got into the group he wanted (We are so grateful!!). I truly believe that Heavenly Father is blessing us right now, I think he knows how hard Blake has worked his whole life to prepare himself for a good career, and I am so grateful that we were able to have faith in him through the hard times. 

We are now in North Carolina for the internship training and it has been way fun! We fly out tomorrow for New York to begin that adventure...

I decided to quit my job (I got the job before I knew we were leaving) and I actually quit early because my parents decided to take us on a cruise for my graduation (& Blake's although he has 5 credits left).  This deserves it's own blog post... So i'll post on that soon.. It was SO FUN. ANNNND we got to go to Disneyland with our Brother and Sister-in-law and their cute kids.  Best two weeks ever before we left for the internship!

I also need to post about our week in North Carolina and I need to get caught up so that I can start posting about my adventures in New York.... Stay Tuned!

Blake is 25....in 2 days!

Is this some sort of joke? My Blake will be 25 in two days... Holy Freak!
With that being said.. I'm SO excited. Finally a night where the two of
us will just hang out... and have fun and celebrate him and all the hard
work he does. I can't wait.

I'd tell you what we are doing, but I can't spoil it.

Gosh I love him.

XOXO

Tonight I can't go to sleep.
I just discovered The Band of Horses. I'm in love.
...And Blake is holding my hand.

It's Fall...And I blogged.


Wow. Is it seriously Fall already? I feel like it's kind of insane. I know that it just possibly cannot almost be my two year anniversary. Sort of freaked out. Not exactly sure how I feel about that! I love Blake and we have so much fun together. Must be why it's going by so quickly! It's been so long since I've blogged that I can't possibly talk about everything that has happened since my last post... So i'll just start randomly yapping. We just got back from St. George last weekend to watch my momma do another marathon. She did fabulous (as always) and we had a lot of fun, the only problem was that it was too SHORT! So we are going back this Thursday through Monday for a long family getaway with the ENTIRE fam. I'm super hyped and totally freaking out excited. It's going to be great. Lots has happened since I last posted. It seems our lives are always nutso, and yes they are still that way. Blake has decided something that will change our lives tremendously.. he doesn't want to go to Medical School. He has discovered his passion for Business as he has been going through the Marriott School of Business at bYu. Let's just say I kind of have mixed feelings about it. Super happy we don't have to go through med school. But now just stressed about him getting a good job. (He wants to go somewhere intense, like New York) I love him dearly though and any journey with him would be fabbbbulous. Some Random Tidbits Yes, today I did get 2 new fall scented candles and it made my night. I am WAY excited to be done with school, 2 more months! I hope I can pass my classes...Kind of nervous about 2 of them. I really want to have some time to cook and just thinking about next fall and being able to make goodies in the evenings gets me shaking with excitement. Fall is my favorite time of year, and we never can enjoy it because it always happens to be midterms and super insane. Next year, we WILL enjoy it, by golly!! Two of my beautiful cousins got married this summer, Jenna & Adri. I was a bridesmaid at both and loved every minute of it. Whitney Price's wedding is coming up, and I'm super excited for her and Mike as well! I have been working out, and I am suddenly addicted- Some random surge of workingoutness... So weird. So not like me. I have kept my house clean for an entire week. Like spotless, those of you who know me know how hard this is for me during school... okay and all the time. But i'm changing.. and boy it feels good :) I almost ate an entire cafe rio salad tonight after Blake deprived me of food throughout the entire football game.. Okay well I guess he let me have a cougar tail (freaking 3 foot long doughnut- don't get me started, I ate like a fat stinking pig tonight) Eww I am disgusting. Byu students (for the majority) are so flipping weird. I wish I could show you the crowd we sat in the middle of today.. Let's just say I watched more of them than the game itself. It's almost Blake's Birthday. I'm so excited. I love my punkin. He is my best friend. My grandma asked if we were still in love the other day. We are. Hope everyone is doing well!! Happy Halloween if I don't blog any time soon!

Holy Crazy TOWN~!!!!




Oh my goodness for everything holy, our lives have been CRAZY lately. Ugh, I can hardly wait for the madness to end!! Where are my lovely summers from high school where all I was worried about was laying out, getting snowcones, and playing with my friends. This is ridiculous! And, since I haven't blogged for forever it just seems like my world is twirling before my eyes.. at least I have something to blog about right? Well, as many of you know- Blake took the MCAT last week, and that was chaos in itself! He has been working sooo hard and studying soo much, it's nice to actually see my husband. We had countless car rides to Sandy doing flashcards, because he couldn't take a second from studying. He doesn't know how he did, he is scared he didn't do well- but I think he is just hard on himself!! We find out his results in 3 more weeks... Crazy times. He is a good boy. I love him dearly.
this is an old pic from my cousins wedding last year. I just love my man.

Secondly, My mom is still going outrageously crazy with her marathon/triatholon-nesssss.
She is insane, dare I say!So we went down to St. George a few weekends ago, and I went with Brianna and My mom and Dad, and Blake didn't come because he was studying for the mcat still.. So we went down and my mom ran the ST. G triatholon. She did a great job, and I have to say my Dad is for sure her biggest fan. She looked cute and got a new bike for mothers day.. I was proud to call her my momma.
I love my mom. She is
the best ever.

And lastly for this little blogpost- since I need to go study for my test this week- is that I am
DEPRESSED and sad because I have to leave this.....................................

we are out of monies. So now we have to leave and go to Blake's parents. I'm so sad about my room, but I think we can make our new apartment cute too, and I will post pictures of it when I'm finished! So I'll post more later, I kept thinking throughout the last semester that as soon as it was over I would have time to do things I wanted to do!! and I'm still doing work and school and I'm just as busy as I was...bleh.. ♥ you all. :)

I understand this :)



In the above picture.. please disregard my horribly dyed eyebrows.. it wasn't my fault!

Okay Jenny, I understand.. I suck at blogging. I don't know why I have been such an anti-blogger lately... probably because I have still been sick, and most of the time my house is so messy, i have so much homework to do, and so many other things that blogging just gets shoved to the side... darn! I need to be better. A lot has happened since last time I blogged.. in November!! ha! What a loser!! Well, I haven't been feeling very well and they found that I have a thyroid issue- and now I'm on thyroid meds.. so I'm just waiting and praying that this might be what is making me miserable. (cross your fingers!!) Blake is studying super hard all the time- it's seriously crazy to me! I don't know how he functions, and if I had a lame social life like him, i would be so upset.. (oh wait, i do! because I don't go do anything by myself!) :) It's okay though, because it's almost summer... and I can wait a little longer.

So... as everyone know's Bradley is home! I am so glad, we love him- although he is already back to his old social self, so it's not like anyone see's him often.. :) it's fun to have him home though, and it was so fun picking him up from the airport! I'm so excited for Matt to come home too! April 28!!! Yay!! And for those of you who don't know, these are both of Blake's brothers that are coming home from missions! Brad was in February, and now we are waiting to have the family complete in April.

And I can't wait to be graduated! One semester left after this one, yay!!! If anyone knows of anyone hiring, let me know.. I am in need of a summer job with about 30 hours!
In February, we went to Grand Targhee for a family vaca with a few of our extended family members.. it was super fun.. we went skiing twice and it was sooo cold and fun! We had a blast, Targhee is fun whether it's summer or winter! And now, we are just dying for another vaca..preferably a longer further away one!! :) ha! Anyway It was fun! xoxo I will blog more later when more interesting things happen! haha!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner!!








Hey you guuuuuys! I don't even really know who reads this thing, maybe I just love to write for my own sake, but that's okay. It makes me feel good when I get to updating the ole' blog! So Valentine's is JUST around the corner and I thought I would give anyone who wants it a cute idea. It's called What I Love About You and it's a super cute book that you fill out a bunch of stuff in about your "special someone" and then give it to them. I did this for Blake while we were still dating and we still read it all the time. It for sure takes some time to fill out so I would order now! But if you take time and think about the answers it is the cutest gift because you can keep it and read it over and over again. Anyway... Just an idear. Booo I have been so sick lately.. my stomach will not let me digest anything normally.. Random, ha ha but I'm not feeling well now and this last weekend was hell. So I thought since it's almost Vday I'd post some of my favorite wedding photos... just for fun... I Lubb you all xoxo.
