college grad

After five long years of studying in the JET with the greatest people ever on way too little sleep, I've finally graduated.  I am a little sad, but it's so great to have not one, but TWO degrees completed!

Graduation was last Thursday and Friday.  I was lucky to have my family and grandparents along with Matt's parent there to support me. Elder Scott spoke to us on Thursday night and that was really neat.  Only at BYU do you get such a wonderful perspective on graduating college and going out into the world to do good.  Friday was for the Physical and Mathematical Science college and although I did not get to cheer for them, I got to graduate with some of the best friends I've made since I've been here in Provo! I was also able to get pictures with my favorite mathematicians, so you could say my day was pretty complete.

Here are just a few of the pictures we took... I had to smile so much this weekend, I almost thought I was getting married again.

And what comes after graduation??  A JOB!

I'm am lucky to be teaching math at Spanish Fork High School starting this fall.  So I will get a nice little break for the summer before entering the real world.   It's a 2/3 time position which will be a great way to start my teaching career and since I did my student teaching at SFHS, I already know some of the student and feel comfortable there.  I am super excited to be a real teacher! Go Dons!

look a nook!

I got a Nook!  For anyone who doesn't know what a Nook is.. it's an electronic book reader that you can download lots of books to.  And I love it.

I went with the original Nook and not the Nook Color because the color one has an LCD screen like a computer which isn't to happy for my eyes.. and the Nook Color was basically an ipod, but not as cool. The one that I got has this awesome e-ink screen that looks just like a book page.. which I have no idea how that works! Mine also has a pretty neat little touch screen down at the bottom for game and shopping for books.  I've downloaded all the classics for free so I might finally read them.

I've already read a whole book on it (13 Little Blue Envelopes) and it was great. Just like reading a real book.

In other news.. I graduate on Friday!! (The Nook was a graduation present from my wonderful parents).  I have no more school. Forever.  Well, unless you count teaching high school?

Graduation

 I can't believe that I have more fingers on my right hand then I have days left in college! What do you think of my announcement I made on

baseball

It feels like spring outside, general conference is this weekend and best of all it is now BASEBALL SEASON! My boys, the Texas Rangers had their opening day game last night and started off beautifully beating the Red Sox.  Maybe this year we'll take the world series-- well, I can only hope.  Here's an awesome world series video for your baseball pleasure..
