So when my parents were here for graduation, they stayed at one of our friends condos in Salt Lake City. Its called.. Mickey Mouse and wow it was so awesome I felt like I went to Disneyland for a weekend. Chris and I went up and stayed with them for a few days and they're right by the Conference Center, the temple, Genealogy Center, and of course Energy Solutions where Chris and I popped over to see the Jazz Playoffs.

This is the floor entrance right when you walk in. Mickey Mouse imprinted in the floor

Here's the kitchen which will be zoomed in

Sitting area where we would eat. Mickey pictures, salt and pepper shakers, napkin holders etc.
Sink handles in the kitchen. All of the knives, forks, and spoons had Mickey on the handles

The counters even had Mickey on them along with the oven mitts, toaster, waffle iron, everything!

Here is the Mickey archway going into one of the playrooms. We played pinball for a while that weekend. In the other side they have a window with Mickey curtains and a large glass case with... you guessed it... Mickey stuff

Mickey clocks, mirrors, pictures, stuffed animals, throw blanket on the coach, pillows, figurines, and Disney movies. They used colors of Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, and White to create this Mickey feel

One of the bathrooms. Mickey pictures, Mickey tiles, Mickey and Minnie in the sink, foucet handles, pictures, Mickey Mouse hands holding up the toilet paper and towels, floor mat

Bathroom again. Oh you can see the Mickey Mouse hands which were knobs on the yellow drawers and the Mickey hands holding the toilet paper roll and towels.

One of the bedrooms. Not the best picture but you can guess it was all Mickey and they had a tv in this room that was shaped like Mickey!!! The speakers were the Mickey Mouse ears. Wow

The master bedroom with Disneyland picture over the bed

Corner of the master bedroom with a sitting area of Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Even though its a LOT of Mickey Mouse, boy it was so much fun. We had such a good time visiting and especially my family up there watching Disney stuff and playing some pinball and talking. Thanks!

FHE GAME: Clue + Charades + Telephone

Last night was so fun for FHE. I'm still the FHE group leader this spring/summer and we had our 2nd Counselor visit for a lesson and a game of Clue + Charades + Telephone for our activity which was so fun.
Three people leave the room and the rest of us come up with a person, weapon, and location like in clue. We came up with some pretty weird ones like "It was Yoda, with a prosthetic leg, at an amusement park" or "Donatello (MNT), with a staple, at the gas station."
The FIRST person comes into the room and choses three people to act out one of options for people, place, or weapon. The first person has the SECOND person come in and acts all three out for them. Then the second person does it for the THIRD person who has to end up guessing what happened. It ends up being so funny it was a lot of fun!!! Definitely reccomend it

Where I Want To Be

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley -

I love this quote so much. My Visiting Teacher's came over to give me a lesson today where we talked about this quote and how important it is to focus on where we want to go, which is to be with our Heavenly Father. When all is said and done we will not have the 'stuff' we do today, we need to remember that the things we can take with us are our testimonies, relationships, families, talents, knowledge etc. The other stuff will not matter.

Jazz Playoffs!!!

Chris and I are having fun watching the NBA playoffs and especially with our favorite team (minus BYU) the Utah Jazz! When my family was in town we stayed right across the street from the Conference Center. We had a great time walking there and seeing the roof especially, going to the temple grounds and seeing a billion brides getting married, seeing the Joseph Smith movie, going to the Lion House and Geneology Center.
Such a fun time. While we were there, we decided to hunt for tickets and were about to get into Game 3!

Chris wearing the Jazz Jersey I got him for his birthday. Most perfect and best gift ever for him!!
Yes we were up there.. but the Jazz could still hear us

We found a cool car while waiting for the game

Precious! Us before we found a sweet deal for tickets 5 minutes before the game. The Jazz ended up winning and were 2 - 1 at that time. Good game Go Jazz!GO JAZZ

Wow, it came so fast I can't believe I'm done with BYU. I graduated with the Interior Design emphasis and Business minor and am done studying and taking tests. I've loved BYU soooo much. It was the perfect school for me as I learned so many great skills to "go forth to serve". I've worked so hard.

• Was a part of Y Serve doing service
• BYU Athletic Marketing- was able to help advertise for BYU sports and go on the court and football field every game. Had sweet front row tickets.
• Swing Dance Club
  
• Chosen to do research for a professor
• Athletic Connections- played with Downs Syndrom kids every Saturday
• Mechanical Engineering- External Relations Assistant it was the best job ever
• Taking pictures with Cosmo and me- have over 80 individual ones haha
• Worked in the Math Department
• Designed t-shirts
• Set the standard for advertising with Men's Tennis
• Marriott School of Business Marketing Association member
• Marketing competitions at BYU
  

Here I am walking to the Marriott Center for graduation Thursday! I don't have a lot of pictures because I was going to take pictures Friday which ended up being awful weather.
My Grandparents came into town so I took them on the tour of BYU and they took me to the Skyroom for lunch. They fell in love with campus too. Everything was blooming and looked amazing.

Chris came on Thursday and meet my family!!! On Friday he came with his parents to spend time and meet them. My college graduation was in the Wilk and afterward we went upstairs and had Skyroom again. Both graduations were short and sweet!
I'm the dot somewhere down there. Elder Christofferson spoke to Class of 2010.

Some of the trees that were in bloom it was so beautiful. I loved having everyone come and join me. It was a great time to see everyone's support and being with my family! Thanks so much!

Thats what I love about Sundays

Its been so beautiful outside!!! I just love it, it makes me so happy to see everything budding and flowering. Chris and I have been going outside the last few Sundays to enjoy outside, to read the Ensign, and just talk. I love Sunday afternoons!
