University of Utah Graduate!

Miss me? I havent had much time lately because I have been bustin my butt for this....

I finally graduated from college!!!!
.
The last two semesters I took 24 and 26 credits so that I could be done! If you ask me now I say that it was well worth the time, effort and stress. But if you would have asked me two weeks ago during finals my brain was fried!
.
I was lucky that one of my favorite authors was the speaker at my graduation, Mitch Albom (he wrote the bestselling book Tuesdays with Morrie, which I highly recommend)! It made it so memorable for me! One of the things that he said that I loved was, that your life is made up of all the grains of sand in an hourglass. When your time is up and that last grain of sand is falling, what is it that you want most? Your big screen TV? or to be surrounded by the people you love to let them know you love them? In your last grain of sand all you want to do is to give your love to everyone. Every grain of sand is exactly like the next, you can discern one from the other, so why should all the other grains of sand in your life be spent doing anything but investing in the relationships that will ultimately be all you want in life?

I graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelors of science degree in Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Emergency Medical Services and Search and Rescue. Yeah its a mouthful! So what do I want to do with my life now you ask??? My dream is to be a ER/Life Flight nurse! So I will be finishing out my RN degree and in the mean time I hope to start working in the ER and try to get on with the Utah County Search and Rescue team I love the outdoors and I love the adrenaline rush of helping people when they are at their worst. 

.

I really enjoyed my schooling and all the classes and teachers I had, which helped me realize even more what I wanted in my life! I also want to say that there is no way I could have done any of this with out my family. My parents and grandparents helped me out so much! And Landon, poor thing had to put up with me on a day to day basis while I was a mental case with stress! I love them all so much for helping me get to where I am now!

Here are some more pictures from graduation!!!

I got my die hard BYU fan Dad to wear the red U of U tie I got him for Graduation! Shows how much he loves his daughter!

Im pretty sure there is a future U of U alum in there!

My wonderful family!

Yay Me! It took me a long time, and a few different colleges, but I would change one bit of it!
