wait, I don't have to go to school anymore??

So...it's been kind of a crazy summer. Wait, it's been a crazy last year and a half!! Seeing Justin and my siblings getting ready to head back to school this semester, dropping off Sophie and Kimberly at BYU, and seeing all of the returning ISU students around our college neighborhood here in Pocatello has made me a little bit jealous....but at the same time, it feels good to not have that stress in my life right now! I've been "doing that" for the last 22 years of my life....one high school diploma, one bachelors degree and one masters degree later, I am ready for the next chapter of my life to take off.....Being a MOMMA!! I've dabbled in it for the last 11 weeks of my life since Gracie has joined our family (that will be the next update post.....all about GRACIE!) ...and I'm STOKED to see what is yet to come with this new adventure that is Motherhood!

I should probably catch up on the last year and a half or so....I haven't been too hot at keeping this thing updated. So....how about a YEAR IN PICTURES ?? We have been taking pictures....so, I can update in that way :) Prepare yourself for a long post!
