so long, farewell

Last night, we had our last, final bash with our best friends. We are going to miss them so much! After we left last night, all I did was avoid my emotions-avoid my emotions-avoid my emotions! It's just too sad! We love our crew!

Sami gave a hilarious and perfect description of our evening, so I will let you read that by clicking here.

I'll just give a quick re-cap!

This is our group.

We do so much together!

Here are the boys. We love them all.

And here are (a few pictures of) the girls. I love each of them and will miss them dearly!

We ate some yummy snacks and played a game of charades-of-sort. It was hilarious! A wonderful way to remember everybody. Ha.

Sami edited and put this picture on her blog - I love it! It's like our little family photo!

Anyway, we are so grateful for the friends we have been blessed with. These will be lifelong friendships! We love you all and wish you the best of luck!

the sweet taste of victory

Way back when, on Selection Sunday, Ben & I made a bet. Yes, a bet.

If his bracket beat mine, he got Crepes for breakfast.

If my bracket beat his, I got dinner, made by Ben.

Well, after hours of research - free throw percentages, rebounds per game, RPI ratings, etc., Mrs. Myers, here, had created a solid bracket. And, I WON!

The night Ben made dinner, I was only allowed in the kitchen to take this picture. I'll admit I was a little tickled sitting on the couch and listening to him banging pots and dancing around the kitchen.

The final product - Chicken Curry!!

Ah, the sweet taste of victory!

He may be studying . . .

. . but at least he gets to lick the beater!

We are well on our way, and the purging/packing/moving out/cleaning process has begun. I hate this process!

last day

Today was the last day of classes! I celebrated by getting a beautiful sun-burn during tennis class! Ha. Actually, Ben & I celebrated by an afternoon outing to the Creamery on our walk home! Then I read on the couch (The Help) and fell asleep for a solid two hours.

We'll hit the books tomorrow. ;)

Ben & I have absolutely loved this semester! We are so happy. Our life is filled with so many blessings - being married to each other being blessing number one! We love BYU so much and we are both grateful that we have one more semester here!

charity

As I was walking to class this morning on the dead-worm-littered sidewalk, I saw a girl stop, pick up a worm that was still alive, and return it to its home in the dirt and flowers.
