Real Salt Laking

Here is a shout out to my home town soccer champions. I wish I could say that I was on the band wagon last year with all of the excitement, but I love a good soccer game. The game was exciting with Real winning 2-0 all the while accompanied by drumming- I didn't realize that soccer needed a beat during play... I guess that is the cool thing to do in soccer now.

Kayaking Provo River

Among my lengthily list of things I wanted to do while in Utah this summer lied Kayak down the Provo River. We ended up getting a great deal and with two kayaks and one raft my Enoch, my mom, Ryan, Kayla, Jared, and I braved the river.

Hoss, Joe and Skyter Riding

One of the highlights during our Utah trip this year was riding horses with Enoch and my dad up American Fork Canyon. The canyon was absolutely lush with picture perfect clouds on a beautiful overcast day- how I have missed the mountains.

I felt like the man from snowy river as Enoch had us galloping up hills and across meadows. It wass an experience unlike any other feeling the power of a horse, sucking air as I held on for dear life, squinting my eyes as the wind blew by, and grinning from ear to ear as I realized how wonderful life really is.

Enoch proved his knowledge from his horsemanship merit badge (ha, ha) leading the group on good ol' Hoss.This picture made me laugh so I chose it, but in all seriousness, Enoch was a great horse rider

Inches behind Hoss' hind quarters faithful Little Joe followed along with me on his back
Finally, on Skyter (our neighbors horse) my dad gave her a good work out

BYU Graduation

Well, the deed is done, I am now a Brigham Young University Alumni. Summer graduation was awesome, very intimate, great weather, short and sweet, and I met President and Sister Samuelson. (aka Cecil) In honor of such an occasion Enoch and I took the liberty of taking a plethora of pictures. Enjoy

Undergraduate Degree- Check

As of July 26, 2010 I completed all the requirements for my undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University! Take that, after changing my major 6.7 million times, moving to California for the last year, and taking classes at Cal State Northrdige to transfer, I have finally completed my degree. The best part however, is even with all the change, adjustments, and extreme flexibility I finished in four years (which was always my goal and who does that now days?)

It has been a rough road at times, I remember watching Enoch walk last year and wishing so bad that I would have the same opportunity to graduate from BYU, but in the end I am getting my chance. Come August 12th I will return to BYU and pay my respects to a campus I love, for professors and students with morals, where language is clean and uplifting, where facilities are maintained, where devotionals and praying are the norm, and where modesty rules. My experience away from BYU has given me a greater appreciation for the school. I will always have wonderful memories of campus, sporting events, intramurals, walking to campus, working for BYU, studying abroad in Europe, partying with roommates, finding my true love, learning, and growing up.
