cucumbers... really??

apparently i have to add cucumbers to the list of fruits i can't eat. why do all these fruits have to look and act like vegetables?? its just cruel to someone who is allergic and too dumb to know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable (yep that's me i'm talking about)... it became apparent to me after eating a salad for 4 days in a row this week and getting a really bad stomach ache after.... it finally donned on me... what is giving me a stomach ache? have i changed something in my eating habits? oh yeah!!! duh... i added cucumber slices to my salad.... now i just feel dumb.

on another note... i got all A's!!!! go me! its my first full semester of grad school and between church calling, dating someone new, and school i was able to pull off getting all A's!! i'm really glad... especially to get an A in the most ridiculously difficult and time consuming class... which by the way i wasn't actually required to take for my degree (this came about from really bad information on my acceptance letter.... but thats a whole other issue that just makes me mad so i'm going to stop talking about it)... but i got an A! woo hoo! mom took sam out to dinner for getting good grades this week, but i had class so i didn't get to go... she said she would take me next week after i finish this summer class... i'm sure chris can come too... considering he got good grades too ... whoo hoo for us. here are a few other pics from this month...

we went out to logandale to watch our friend aaron ride some bulls... we definitely stuck out as city people....

this was from my best friend jared's wedding on may 1st... they had the reception at a nursery which made for some really beautiful decorations... including this archway :)

getting ready for summer!

i will admit that i am terrible at blogging... however i am very good at keeping a journal... although i will not be sharing anything from that with anyone anytime soon... sorry... i figured it would be a good time to give a quick update on some things going on in my life...

i went back to school last semester. i am working on getting a masters in music and getting certified to teach and of course emily has me convinced i want to teach junior high choir cause she does it and likes it just fine... so it probablly is true that i will like it as well. amazingly i got all A's my first semester back and that was with one class that was like death... i loved it... it was my favorite class... but had an insane amount of homework every week which also included two major projects to be handed in at the end of the semester. i also found out half way into the semester that the class didn't actually count towards my degree... i had been grossly misinformed... but i guess it will count as an elective. whatev... i still got all A's... yay me... haven't had a semester like that in a while.

i also started dating someone back in january. he's awesome... he's is my age... working on his second year of dental school... tall... dark... and handsome. overall he's just really nice... my family all seems to really like him including sam... which is kinda awesome cause i never thought i would date someone sam liked.... i think its because chris is fairly quiet but funny and has not annoying habits... it makes him a really like-able person. things are going really well for us and we are having a good time dating and getting to know each other... this weekend was 4 months of dating for us... which is the longest relationship i have ever really had... go me.. haha

just dancing to the band organ in beaver... its something that generally happens while in beaver

mini golfing on the putting green at angel park...

at a friends wedding....

hiking red rock.. ice box canyon... awesome hike!

valentines day we went to a comedy show called "defending the cave man"... super funny

this summer is already looking like its going to be a fun eventful summer... i'm currently taking one class right now with emily... but it only lasts 3 weeks and i will be done by the end of may... after that i dont have anything going on except working on a million projects all over my moms house... i am her slave... but its ok but i mooch off of her... she's a good mom :) in june chris and i are traveling to san fransicsco area for his brother's wedding... i'm really excited to finally meet his family. and then in july my grandpa is taking the family to the beach again to dana point. its fun to get together with all my cousins... we just dont see each other enough... especially not like we did as kids all living in the same neighborhood. overall i'm excited to get my summer started!

that is all for now.... yay summer!
