Camping!!


We pulled our trailer out on Memorial Day Weekend and we expected to have cold, rainy weather. We were pleasantly surprised to have mostly sunny warm weather and get sunburned!

One fun thing we did was shoot guns at pop cans that we had left in the shed from last year. The cans looked ready to burst and they certainly did when we shot them.

This year we had a record of five dogs camping with us! I love it that we are such dog lovers (: I was glad that they all got along pretty well.

We look forward to going camping again soon and hopefully it will be warm enough to go tubing down the river.

My next post will be about our family church history trip to Nauvoo which we are very excited for. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures while were there.

An Update


Well, I graduated from Utah State on May 8th and it was a great experience. My family came up and spent the night in a hotel. Danny Glover spoke at the graduation for all the students and that was just alright and kind of boring to be honest. My college graduation was slightly better and in this one I actually walked as they read out my name. I was surprised to find out that I graduated Cum Laud. I didn't know until that day. It was fun spending time with family and after the college graduation everyone got free Aggie Ice cream which is really delicious.


The following week, my dad and I headed to Oregon to look for an apartment for me during vet school. We found a few good ones but I couldn't put my name on one now unless I want to move now. So, I have to keep checking availability as it get closer to August and September and just hope that I can get in at one of my top choices. I also toured the vet school and got excited to start. I was able to talk with a first year student and she answered a lot of questions and gave me some valuable tips. We also had a little fun while we were in Corvallis and went on a hike and to a movie.

One day we drove about an hour to the coast and went to the beach and toured a lighthouse. It was windy and kind of chilly but it was really neat. We saw a baby seal and we climbed nearly 100 feet up to the top of the lighthouse to look out from the top. On the day we were flying home, we had some extra time and we drove up to Portland early and went to the Oregon Zoo which turned out to be one of the best zoos I've ever visited.






































Now I am working on getting a decent job for the summer to earn some money for vet school. My family is also planning a church history trip to Nauvoo in June and I'm looking forward to that. We are also excited to take our trailer out soon and go camping.

Today in Logan


It feels like it should be getting close to Christmas, not Easter in Logan! I wish the weather would just decide to stay warm and quit teasing us!
