The beginning of eternity.....

Phillip and I met in 7th grade.  We got to know each other better in 9th grade, when he sat behind me in seminary.  We continued our friendship until I was about 17, then starting dating.  We had many memories together through high-school and beyond.  Through experiences and time, we only deepened the understanding that we wanted to be with each other for forever.  Phillip asked me to marry him at sunset with a surprise dinner at our favorite spot in the mountains up Trappers Loop.  We were married in the Salt Lake Temple on December 15, 2009 for time and all eternity.  It was a perfect day (weather was even kind for a Utah winter day!).  We had such great support from family and friends.  What a beautiful day to celebrate the beginning of eternity. 

Graduating

I was so thrilled!! I had been working at my education for years.  I was graduating with a degree in Elementary Education, being a teacher to children was something I loved more than anything in the world, and I was so excited to be starting my own adventure in years of doing something that I truly love!  Thanks to all of my wonderful professors who taught me what it really means to be an educator, and above all thanks to all of my friends in the program who are an inspiration to myself and all around them!  Watch out world, here come some pretty freaking awesome teachers..... ;)
