Conference Weekend

One of my favorite traditions I have kept of my grandma's is making cinnamon rolls on conference weekend. I got this recipe from my friend natalie. The first time I made them last year I killed the yeast and put WAY too much cinnamon and sugar mixture in them. Can you blame me? It's the best part! Anyways, this year they turned out great. And we even had some friends over to enjoy them with us. John and Nycole actually got married this last weekend. We were sad we couldn't make it, but are so excited for them! The talks were amazing too! We learned so much, but have realized how much more we need to be doing with the knowledge that we have.

Graduation!

I have finally graduated from BYU-Idaho! Now I have about 4 months to get a job before school starts back up again. Graduation was so much fun because a lot of family was able to make it. My brother Travis and his family, My borhter Chad and his family, my brother Rob and his family, and my parents! Luis and I aren't very used to having so much company, so the time went by way too fast! Most everyone was here by friday afternoon, and so we went to Big Judds. I hadn't ever been there but people say you HAVE to experience before you leave Rexburg, so we went. My brother Travis ordered the Big Judd, but shared it with his family of 4. He was trying to get Luis to eat one by himself, but luckily Luis didn't think it would be the greatesdt idea. I didn't either.



I think the girls liked it. Passion NEVER lets me take a picture of her, so this picture speaks a thousand words. And this is ice cream on her face, before lunch. Vacation spoils all of us :)My brother got a hotel room and so we all went swimming that night. no pictures :( But the next day I got to stand in a long line and pick up this funny looking blue cover.

And here is Jaedyn. I just want to squeeze those cheeks! It was more exciting than I thought it would be. I think it was because whenever family comes into town, everything is just so much better. Here's to the man that has believed in me and has supported me on those late nights and early mornings. Thank you Luis for driving me to early classes, picking me up, making me lunches, and especially for agreeing with me when I was mad about a grade, at a teacher, or a classmate. And NO-thank-you to making it so hard to wake up every morning and leaving your bed head, and know I wasn't going to see you for so many hours. I am glad to be the dumbest smart person you know.



Luis celebrated by not shaving for 5 days. Sometimes it's nice to not have to shave every day. This picture is dedicated to you, Chad. You are his inspiration. It's just too bad that BYU-I has strict grooming standards. Darn.



A Typical Day in RexBURRRRg

We looked out the window in the beginning of the second week of April, only to find this...






We were a little disgusted to see this since my parents and other family were driving into town just a few days later. But luckily, when we got home that evening, we saw this...

Just another typical day in Rexburg.
