Springing into Summer

It's slowly starting to feel like summer here in Laramie.  Meaning, there isn't snow on the ground everyday and sometimes the sun even peaks out from under the clouds!  I am excited for long hot summer days :) sadly due to my choice of grad school I don't think I will be getting much of a summer.  But I am totally ok with this!  Lots of things have been happening the past few weeks.  Friends have come to visit, family has come to help start the endless task of packing, and work is starting to slow down due to the kiddo's almost being done with school.  Here is a small recap of what's been going on the past couple weeks ( since i am sure you are all dieing to know).

Skyla came to visit for a few days.  It was so good seeing her and spending time with one of my best friends. This sort of thing doesn't happen anymore since we live so far away from each other and also have real jobs.  When she came up we decided to go to a place called "Jump World"....here is a glimpse of what it is:

 Here is Skyla and I...after jumping for like 20 minutes straight...it is so intense!!!

 It is a place with wall to wall tramps...so all you do is jump..they also have dodgeball areas and other fun things...We think that this place may be better suited for little kids, but it was still SO much fun.

 This is me, Eric, Skyla and Dorin....us girls like to document everything so they were forced to take pictures with us :)

We then went to the Old Spagehtti Factory for dinner then back to Laramie.  It was a great day!

The rest of the time that Skyla was here we just spent it hanging out and seeing friends that she hasn't seen in a long time.  We also finally decided on where we are going for our senior trip!!!  I am so excited to say that in August we will be going to Cancun for 6 days!  It's going to be so fun and warm, and well needed after all the grad school classes I will be taking this summer!!!

After Skyla left my mom came to visit and help me pack up about 1/3 of my things so that I can be better prepared for when I have to move.  I am going to have to move while I am taking a grad school course so its going to be a stressful few days at the end of July, but it will all work out.  I am so happy to have such supportive parents that are so willing to help me move so that I can focus on my education and keep succeeding.

My mom left on Saturday and for the rest of the weekend I spent it visiting with my friends Kelsey and Dorin.  Kelsey came to visit from NE since Dorin will be moving to Indiana in a week.

Here we are earlier in the year at the bowling alley. Kelsey is a wonderful positive person.  I admire her for that!

Well thats all I have to say for now.  I hope all of you are having a lovely Monday afternoon and that you are enjoying the begining of summer!

Things are finally falling together

Hi there!  So I can finally say that I am starting to feel like my future is officially starting to fall into place.  I start grad school in a little over a month (SO EXCITED!!), I finally found a place to live, and life just seems to be great.  I love the feeling you get after those long extended moments of not knowing what your future holds for you and then one day you wake up and all the sudden it all falls into place.  

As hard as it is for me to follow my own words of advice I always try to go by this: Sometimes you just have to let all your worries, and fears, and doubts out into the universe and in time they will all be figured out.  There is always someone out there looking out for me and thanks to them I am feeling much more confident in my future!  I hope whoever is reading this has a wonderful weekend....I'm off to celebrate with friends who graduated college this afternoon!

 

Before I go, here is a little sign I found while browsing StumbleUpon today (this is such an addictive website).  enjoy =) I hope it brightens your day!

Wishing happiness to you!
