This Girl is Almost a College Grad!

Last week I finished my final 2 classes for my undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University! I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend such a wonderful school and will always love it here. I have two finals to take and will continue to work on an internship until March 1st, which is when I will need to find a job :) Then it's graduation in April! Who would have thought it would take me 5 years, but time really seems to have flown by. One day you are a scared freshman trying to figure out how to find your classes on a huge campus and the next thing you know, Utah Valley is the most claustrophobic place you have ever been. Yes, sometimes I do want to run away and find a job in a big city but I think I will stay put for now.

I have really been blessed in the last six months to find a boy that I can't imagine ever living without. He's funny, smart, unpredictable and basically more than I could have dreamed him to be. I know that he sacrificed a promising internship to stay in Utah to be with me and it means to world to me that he loves me enough to not put our relationship to chance. I believe that in life you must be intentional. Meaning that if you have a goal, you need to take steps to get there, not let the world hand you what it wants. Having a purpose associated with each thing you do can make a huge difference. Especially in the relationships you have, whether romantic or not. In short I guess I'm saying that loving this boy makes me more excited than graduating college... which is saying a lot!
