Our Cruise!!

Well, I have not posted in a while. I am a slacker. Well I will do an update later on the past 7 months, but for right now I will just show the pictures from our cruise to the caribbean. It was so much fun. We went with Levi's family. We went to the Caymen Islands, then to Honduras, then to Belize, and then to Cozymel. We were able to do shopping, go snorkling, and go to the beach (my favorite part). We went on a Carnival ship. It was huge. It is a pretty new ship. There had great activities on the ship and of course great food. I ate plenty. Now I am paying for it.

Also I did finally graduate with my masters this month. As of December 11th at 11:28 am, I completed my last class as a student. I am done forever. Now I am just working on my CPA exams. I will continue working at the CPA firm that I work at right now.

Can't Deny How Cute He Looks!!!

Last weekend I went up to Salt Lake. My aunt Jill, my cousin Mariah, and I ran in a 5k for Susan Komen foundation. It was so cool! There was over 18,000 people there. It was absolutely amazing. Well the night before Mariah's baby Jackson was over at my mom's condo and he wasn't feeling good so we were giving him anything to make him happy. Well his dad found him the perfect thing, an oreo!!! He really enjoyed that cookie!

Finally!!!

I say finally for so many reasons. One, I am finally 21! I turned 21 last month, not that I can really do anything like others do, but it is cool to now say that I am 21. My mom was so kind to get me a cake and make my birthday so special, like she did when I was a little girl.
Second reason for why I say finally. Tax season is over!!! I have never been so exhausted in my entire life. I pretty much ran off of no sleep. I would work 60 or more a week plus go to school and do homework and try to be a good wife. I am so grateful that I have a wonderful husband that helps me out. He is the best!
The next reason why I say finally is because I finally ran my next half marathon a couple of weeks ago. Jenny Morris and I ran a half marathon in Gunnison. It was a great morning and a fun race. I am glad that we did it.
The last reason why I say finally is because I am finally a college graduate! I actually graduated in December, but there is only one commencement a year. It was really neat because President Monson spoke at the commencement ceremony. He is an awesome speaker. I was about 50 feet away from him, so I had a great view! I am so grateful that I have a supportive family and inlaws. They were all there to support me! So the month of April was an awesome month!

Jenny Morris is Amazing!!!

Well I don't know how many of you read Jenny's blog a couple of weeks ago, but in it she spoke about how she couldn't run 8 miles. Well she did that plus more! She ran 10 miles with sore feet, a sore ankle, and in Cedar's crazy wind. She was awesome! She never gave up. So don't let her fool ya! She acts like she can't do it, but she some how whips it out of nowhere. So in a couple of weeks she will run a half marathon with me. Does that sound like someone who can't run 8 miles, I don't think so!

My Wonderful Husband!

Well since Valentine's Day was last Saturday, I decided I should write how wonderful my husband is. Since work has started to get busy with tax season, Levi has been so helpful around the house. He does the dishes, he makes the bed, he makes dinner, and he vacuums around the house. I can't explain how great it is to have a helpful husband. Then, everytime I come home from work or school and I am stressed out, he just holds me and talks to me. And we end up laughing our heads off. I love it! Being married is so much fun!

I did it!!!

Well this last weekend I ran my first half marathon and I finished! Right before Thanksgiving, I decided that was going to run this race. So I dragged my Aunt Jill into running the race with me. She has already ran this half marathon, so I knew that she would be up for it. I was able to run the race in 1 hour and 55 minutes, which is good. I was glad to be under 2 hours. Hopefully, I can train to lower my time for the next half marathon.

My mom, Kellie, and my Aunt Jill's girls came down to St. George. The girls didn't watch us run the race, but my mom and Levi were there at the finishline. I was so grateful to have some support, cause I was starting to get pretty tired at the end. We had a great weekend with all of the girls. We went shopping, went to a movie, and tons of other things.

The last two pictures are from our trip to New Orleans. The one is Levi and I in front of the Superdome and the second picture is us on a swamp tour.
