1. Chris was able to make it out to Utah for a week-long visit and some much needed face time :) He got to see where I lived and meet a whole bunch of family up in Idaho. It was such a wonderful trip and I loved having him see what my BYU life was like. Being engaged long distance was pretty much the least favorite part of my life last semester. I love being home and close to Chris now!
2. Four trips up to Idaho filled with photo shoots, wedding dress surprises, bridal shower, wedding shopping, and lots of driving!
3. I graduated! BYU and I had to say farewell. The past four years have been such wonderful years and I will miss being in Provo. But, it is certainly time to move on. I walked across the stage and picked up my empty diploma envelope and felt a slight sense of accomplishment. I'm sure it will kick in eventually :)
4. I moved out of my apartment in three hours from start to finish and drove across the country with my parents in a '93 Park Avenue pulling a U-Haul. That was exciting. We made it with only a few stops to see to the car. Nothing big though... just the breaks going out and the car smoking is all :) We made it though! Something tells me I will not be driving that far with that car ever again.
5. I got to spend a week hanging out with Chris before he started his job in Ann Arbor, MI. It is about an hour commute WITHOUT traffic so we see each other only in the evenings now. During our week before work we went apartment shopping, played at the hands-on kids museum in Ann Arbor, went mall shopping, ate at our favorite restaurants, and started reading together. It was so nice to have that time with him and we are so excited to live in Ann Arbor in the fall!
6. Mom and I have been wedding shopping like crazy the past week. We are having a large sit down reception here in MI and Mom and I are going to be doing all the decorations so we are keeping quite busy with that! Here is the inspiration picture for the tables- only replace the green with Tiffany blue. Oh, and all the flowers will be white. It should turn out pretty! 
7. I found out last night that I have been accepted into the Graduate School Program for Speech Pathology at Eastern Michigan University! I started the grad school process last summer as I studied for the GRE. I took the GRE in November and had my applications in by February. I then spent a whole month calling schools to make sure they had my paperwork in order (most of them didn't). Then after being wait listed by two schools and rejected by another Eastern informed me LAST NIGHT (its May already, a little late for acceptance letters) that they had accepted me to their program! Eastern is located about 15 minutes from where Chris's new job is so it really is such a blessing that I was able to get in. Now we can be in the same city and both get to do what we were hoping to do with our lives! And we get to be married.... that's nice too :)
