What I have been up to since Graduation

Well, this is what I've been up to for the last couple of months:


I have been nannying 2 little boys. I got to see the baby go from a kid who couldn't really move around to a child who is super fast at crawling, can stand up and walk along anything! He also transformed into a very happy baby once he learned he could get to anything he wanted, which also made my job a little bit harder. The 3 year old definitely kept me on my toes! Today was my last day with them and the baby kind of broke my heart. He was so happy smiling at me and trying to get to me when I was walking out, then as I closed the door, he kept leaning so that he could see me! I developed quite a bond with that little guy!
He loved looking at the pictures of himself on the camera after I took them! I'm really gonna miss that little guy! It was a great experience for me and I'm still feeling very bittersweet about it.

Sorry it has been a while

Sorry no pictures this time. I just wanted to give an update! I am officialy a graduate from Utah State University! My diploma came this week and so now it feels real. I just kept staring at the diploma! I can't believe that I am 21 years old and a college graduate. I have been doing a lot of projects in my spare time. This is my last week of being a temporary nanny to a 3 year old and an 8 month old. I'm excited to have my life back. It is really hard to go to someone else's house for 6 1/2 hours everyday and then go to my other job for 2-4 hours afterwards. I really like the baby and now that he is mobile, he is very happy and a handful. He is always talking to himself and pulling funny faces at me. The three year old says the cutest things. He told me that I was a mommy because I have long hair! I will miss these guys, but I'm happy to have a little bit more flexibility back! I have been getting ready for the Smithfield Health Days Scholarship Program, which I am in charge of this year. We had 11 girls choose to participate! I have also been doing my calling which I love. I have loved my branch since I got there, but I am feeling more and more a part of the branch family every week. In fact, I haven't had to sit alone for a few weeks. Last week, I helped McKenna get ready for her sweethearts dance and hung out at my parents house while she took my car on her date. I think she had a lot of fun and she looked very pretty.
I'm really excited that the weather is warming up and the sun is now shinng everyday! Wahoo, winter is almost over!
