When Plans Change

as it turns out, I am moving home to the salt lake valley after this semester comes to an end. Its all a little bittersweet. I'll be happy to be home with family. I'll get to see my immediate family all the time, but I'll also get to see my extended family (and my adorable little cousins) a lot more. It would be nice to save a miniscule amount of money. Unfortunately the bus pass needed to get down to Orem cuts in on some of that savings. It will be great to have my own room though. Not complaining there. Not excited to be a Wolverine. Not excited to be a part of a singles ward that isn't also a student ward. Not excited to not be meeting new people. Not excited to be without my friends. What it comes down to though, is that my Heavenly Father wants me to be home, and I'm going to do it. It may not be high on my list of things I want to do, but I know its His plan for me. So, I'm going to suck it up and do it. Especially because if the past is any indication, it'll happen one way or another, I should just do it the easy way. I really don't want to know what the hard way is, because so far, this way isn't that easy.

hungry.

I'm on campus, pretty hungry and doing my best not to spend money while not at a grocery store. Well this past week I got out of the habit of bringing food to campus and as a result I am sitting in the Hub, smelling my peers food while waiting for a class to start. Although this may sound like a jam session of complaining, you are wrong. As I smell everyone's delectable food I'd like to put out my own freaky kind of advertising for all the restaurants I love the most. first we must start with training table. I am continually amazed by the amount of people I know up in Logan who have never been here. It's the BEST. Now while i'm on burgers we must talk about Culver's. Um, delish. you canNOT miss out on this place. we have one in Utah and I guess it started in Wisconsin. they have great ice cream, which that on its own would be enough for me, but they also have AWESOME burgers and their fries are amazing. And best of all the have caved to the social pressure of being in Utah, they have fry sauce. yeah. amazing. Now as a foodie my other favorite place to eat, is Farr's ice cream in Fort Union in Utah of course. So for anyone who has been to disneyland and had the pineapple dole whip and thought to yourself, "Man, this is the best. I love it so much I almost wish I could bathe in it. but the only place i can have it is in DISNEYLAND." your worries are over! Farr's has pineapple dole whip. I would live on the stuff if i could. now it is closer to a possibility. anyway, this is a post that could go on for ages. I'll just stop now before I make a scene and start drooling.

Thorpe Wedding

Friday the 9th at 5:00 p.m. Hannah Nelson and Ben Thrope were married. as you can see they are madly in love and are most definitely gonna have a happy marriage. This was the first wedding I have been paid to take photos for! I was very happy to get a little experience under my belt. haven't looked through all of the photos yet. I can just hope that out of the 1,070 photos I took some of them will be treasured.

school days.

forgot my first day of school outfit so this is the second day of school outfit. i love my roommates! they are such good girls! we have lots of fun. we had a crepe party last week and had lots of people over. school and work have most def kept me busy. weirdly enough my favorite class may just be math! i have always hated math but this teacher is great and i finally get it! i am taking institute and finally see how great it is! i can see that i am being blessed immensely because i go. i'm not super stoked about my ward... oh well! mostly girls and a lot of the boys aren't seeming like my type of guy... eh rude. anyway letting life live. not that that phrase makes any sense, but getting thru it best i can.

Tayler's Senior Portraits

Tayler is graduating this June. We could have taken her pictures a long time ago, but she wanted pictures in the snow. It was a great idea! Her photos ended up being very different from all her friends who took there's in summer and fall. We had a lot of fun. These were taken in Draper, Utah.
