Seniors

Its hard to believe that Matt and I are actually about to graduate from BYU. Its weird to think about because for the last four years this is all we have known. Its become a part of my life, a significant part, because of all the wonderful, amazing, and life-changing things that have happened while I have been here. I don't know if it has fully sunk in how we will be leaving here VERY soon, and never coming back. We talk all the time about how we hate Utah, about how nobody (NOBODY) here knows how to drive a car, people suck, and it snows 98% of the year. But behind all of the jokes, we actually have liked it here. BYU has been good to us (we found each other here!) We have an incredibly good education and we have been really blessed in our time here. Exercise Science is the best major ever and I honestly wish I could study it forever and just keep learning. I wouldn't change it for anything! 


So in the spirit of Senior-ness, we went to a senior celebration graduation party and it was awesome. There was a booth that you got in and papers flew all around and you tried to grab them and you looked like a fool, but possibly won prizes. So awesome. There were darts, wheels to spins, games to play, free bowling, pizza, burgers, ice cream, and prizes! We won like 3 shirts, 2 pairs of sunglasses, and a TON of candy. Oh, and a BYU mug. I was so mad that I forgot to bring my camera, but then there was a PHOTOBOOTH! Oh ya!

In the first picture we used the awesome props that they had there for us. I'm embarrassed to admit that Matt picked out the glasses first. And also he wanted me to use the moustache...no thank you. In the second one we just wanted a good smile, and then the third was apparently Matthew's "sexy face," I was laughing SOO hard during that. And then a kissy picture. Because we love each other! Anyways, thanks to BYU for an awesome night of free entertainment and sweet prizes. It was a great time.

DIY Girly Girly Dress

I've been doing some more DIY'ing and this time I found this hideously ugly pink skirt at DI and couldn't help myself. I started making it into a cute skirt, cut off about 10 inches of material, added a big waistband and some buttons so I could get in and out of it, and then to just make it the girliest piece of clothing I own, a huge cream colored bow! I thought I'd try making it into a bubble skirt and I'd say it was fairly successful for my first attempt, and only one of my first attempts at sewing. You've got to learn somehow right? :)

I don't have a before unfortunately, but here are the afters.
