Best graduation present ever :)

So after graduation, my family and I got to go to a cabin at Big Bear Lake for a few days. To sum it up... SO MUCH FUN! We pretty much ate, played games, ate, relaxed and ate some more! Haha good thing our diets all start tomorrow! Its way fun when everyone gets together. We played several games but rollick was definitely the family favorite. Seeing Mom act our barmitsfa or iguana or Scott act out boogieman had to be some of my favorites.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

 This is our cute little cabin. I loved it there! 




The whole fam in front of the cabin. I had to set the camera up on my tripod and sprint back to my place. hah I got quite the work out :)

Jen and her cute little family.

These crazies. hah

We had fun taking pictures while Jen and Scott were getting the baby changed.

Our family picture without Jen...

Jen and Holly.

Holly was laughing like crazy when we were taking pictures. She must have thought something about the camera or the click was pretty funny!

We were all laughing because she was loving it so much.

She sure is a cute baby.

We are pretty much best friends! I love that little girl!

On our way up the mountain, we all got a bit car sick. We had to take some stops so that we all didn't vomit. This was at one of those stops.

We went into "the village" before we went to the cabin. There were little shops every where but a lot of it seemed to be closed since we were there on a Wednesday afternoon.

Chris and I found the night club too bad it wasn't night time when we were there hah!
It was a nice little town. Im not used to blue skys anymore so it was quite refreshing to see the skys and sun again :)

There was a store called Stupidiotic. It had a bunch of random things in there but I thought this sign was so funny! Haha It was just in the front window. I think Im gonna go put fliers around La Habra like this :)

We found this cool hand bench thing so naturally we had to take pictures on it.

This whole trip was super fun. There's nothing like spending a couple of days with some of your favorite people. This trip is definitely going to have to happen again!

Done with school!!

So... I graduated college one week ago and what do I have to show for it? My room is still covered in boxes, still don't have hangers for any of my clothes, still haven't gone back to work and still am yet to figure out my life! With that being said... life hasn't been too shabby back in SoCal so far. I mean I miss Idaho but I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. :)

Back to graduation. I graduated in business management with an emphasis in supply chain. I am yet to get a supply chain job but I am going to be on the job hunt. Im not really partial to living back here in Orange County so hopefully I can find a job somewhere new and have a new adventure. Im open to anything! Here are some pictures from graduation. My parents flew to Salt Lake and drove up with my Grandma and Grandpa Sparks. It was fun having them all share this accomplishment with me.

After I walked at convocation :)

In front of the Smith building. I pretty much lived there most semesters. (Business building)

In front of the Spori. I took almost all of my communication classes here. My clusters were in advertising and digital media.

President Clark spoke at convocation and commencement. I got to shake his hand right before I got my diploma (cover thing hah). He is pretty much amazing!

My mom had a bad knee the whole time and couldn't walk around. We got her a wheelchair and pushed her around everywhere. She sure does like to make a scene. Haha... jk

Me and the parents. I graduated!! Who would have thought that this would finally come?!

Grandma and Grandpa Sparks came up for it too!

Me and Emily. We lived together for almost 2 years straight. Its been a good time :) Hah who knows how were going to survive now?!

Went to take pictures of the Rexburg temple with my dad after I walked on Friday night. I sure am gonna miss this place!

After all is said and done, the last two and a half years have been amazing. I have learned a tremendous amount through the Spirit, the people I have met, the teachers I have had and the experiences I have had. I have been so blessed and I wouldn't change the last two years for anything!
