New Digs

Last Friday, the 17th, I moved back to Las Vegas. This time I'm not living with BJ, but I do live only about 10 miles from him so I'm pretty excited and still get to see him quite often. He was such a huge help with getting a lot of the big stuff up the stairs and into my new condo! I don't own it, I'm renting a very nice 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo with my best friend since the 6th grade, TorriLyn! I love it! We have so much fun together, even if most of the fun doesn't start until later in the night when most people are asleep! Here are a few pictures of the new place!


This is of my room, I haven't quite finished unpacking and putting stuff away, but hopefully soon!
My bathroom! Notice how I have 2 whole sinks all to myself!!1
BJ got creative when he took this picture! It's of the clubhouse.

This is my building we live on the top with the satellite dish that we don't have hooked up!

Obviously the kitchen, it's not huge, but if you know Torri and me, we don't cook too much anyways! There is also a little pantry that you can't see next to the fridge.
Our pool. There are also 2 hot tubs. I have already tried them out! Monday it was super hot here and BJ had the day off so he and the Martins came for a swim while Torri was at work.
I'm not really sure why we need a fireplace... but it came with the condo, so now you get to see it!
BJ thought it would be funny if I held a hammer so it looked like I was working on stuff, but really... I wasn't. Shocker, the picture looks sooo authentic I know!
Torri got us a great deal on a very nice, big, sectional couch. Complete with pull out queen bed, so if anyone wants to come visit, we have a bed for you!!

Lovely

Graduation

I am so excited! I can finally say that I have a degree!
It only took me four years (if you don't count the year out for my mission) to get a 2 year degree, but I did it and I am now the proud owner of an associates degree in General Studies from BYU-Idaho! I took the last two courses I needed to graduate on line since I wasn't quite ready for campus life after I returned home from the mission early due to health problems.
It was a great two day event and I finally got to meet two adorable members of the family, Lucy and Piper! Both were tons of fun and didn't actually ever cry while I was holding them which helped make Thursday evening even better.
Thursday night was great fun! Wes, Ashurity, Piper, Bonnie, Tyler, Lucy, Aunt LaWayne, Randi, and my parents showed up to help me celebrate. Thursday night I received my diploma cover and they actually read my name. After the ceremony we all headed over to dinner at Frontier Pies! I had a great time chatting with everyone.






Friday morning was the big ceremony with President Clark and the newly sustained and set apart apostles Neil L. Anderson. I was so close that I could have reached out and hugged him had if I had wanted to and if I had had time. I only had 2 tickets so only my parents were able to go in, but it was still a great time had by all. Aunt LaWayne and Randi got me some beautiful flowers with Gerbera Daisies (my favorite!!!) And then we took pictures before returning to Pocatello. I felt a little bad on the way back down because we stopped by Horkley's in Rexburg to get some drinks before heading on our way and my dad ended up backing into a pole with his new truck and then after we returned to Pocatello Randi ran to Walmart to get some stuff for my cousin's wedding cake for my dad and was hit by a 92 year old lady in her brand new Vibe! The sacrifices my family makes for me!
