Can I also express that getting married is the most wonderful thing ever! I mean not only am I getting sealed to the most amazing man, but ALSO all these wonderful people in your life pop back up to say congrats and reconnect with you and I just love it! I love it so much! There are some many people that I wish I could see more, wish I had more time to chat with, be with, or get to know better, and on and on.
Well I guess I have a lot to catch up on. I'll do my best to get as much as possible. A couple of weeks ago Kevin, one of Ryan's mission companions, Caleb, and his wife came over for a bit and I got to meet them and we all hung out for a while. That was super fun! Natalie Seeley from back home called me for a little bit just because. Totally made my day! Can't lie. All the messages and posts on my facebook wall just make me so happy! After a long hectic day I love talking to or getting messages from friends. Makes my life!
Kyli, the only other girl in the lab that I work in :), and I went to the mall a few weeks ago and got ideas for our make up for our weddings. Kyli and Brad are getting married this summer as well, June 18! :) Anyway, we got our makeup done and it was so fun!!!! Kyli's make up looked SO beautiful and flirty. Mine turned out really well too. I liked it a lot! I was still worried about doing my own make up cuz....well anyone who knows me knows that I don't wear very much make up if I wear it at all. So BLESSINGS Sister Bavender is being so gracious to come over and doing our makeup the morning of the wedding! *phew* :D
Everyone has been so gracious at helping with the wedding and such!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! There are so many people who have helped already and will and I am just so grateful! I feel so special and blessed!!! And everyone that is coming from far and wide to make our day very special!!! :D THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Anyways, I got an Undergraduate Research Award for the spring/summer (it is a grant given by the department that helps pay me to do research over the summer). I'm super excited. Ryan and I got to go to a dinner held by the department. It was really fun! We had fine dining company ;) Matt and his wife, Kyli and Brad, and Jon and his fiancée (I work with Matt, Kyli, and Jon). It was really fun and an honor to go.

Ryan and I in my lab after with my letter for my award
Ryan and I working on Jun (Ryan's Del Sol)
Ryan is trying to sell his Del Sol. He's decided that while it's been a fun project to get it running and fixed up it's time to spend his time and money elsewhere. (Despite popular belief I had NOTHING to do with this. I offered my opinion and Ryan decided.) Hopefully we'll find someone to buy it soon. If you are interested: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=733005&nid=443&tab=myads/view&ad=2396656 It's a fun little car I can't lie.
So all my finals are done!!!!! Oh my goodness I feel so relieved!!!!!!!!!! I can't even tell you!!!! I wish some classes had gone better but all things considering and considering how much work I put in I'm really proud of myself. I've pushed myself farther and harder this semester than ever. It's been a difficult semester but I never gave up and even when an out seemed very appealing. I DID IT!!! That is an accomplishment in and of itself right?!
I'M SO EXCITED!!! I go home Friday! Chill with family and get stuff done with my mom! Ryan moves into our new apartment on Sunday night and then flies to Denver Tuesday! I go through the temple Tuesday! I get to meet my soon to be in laws on Friday afternoon. And....*drum roll please* MY GRANDPARENTS ARE GETTING SEALED FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!! My grandma got baptized last year and now they are getting sealed and I'm so excited that I get to be there! :D It'll be so WONDERFUL!!! All the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be in town that night and we'll have a good time chilling :D Then, Saturday Ryan and I will be sealed for time and all eternity :D :D :D :D *insert beaming face* :D :D :D
And the fairytale doesn't end there. That next week Ryan and I go to North Carolina chill and have an open house out there. Then, we go down to Florida and leave for our cruise!!! :D :D :D It's going to be amazing!!! Now y'all can see why I was so excited for finals to be done right?! SUNSHINE HERE I COME! :D
Talk to y'all later! Love ya!!!
