Postgrad fun!

So...I graduated!

Woohoo! 

All of my family came down...which was awesome! I loved loved loved having everyone there. While it feels really great to be graduated I am a bit sad to leave BYU. It has been good to me the past five years...haha. I just love BYU!

But life is great! And kinda crazy since graduation. Right after graduation I moved home all of my stuff in good ol' Fishes and then headed off to San Diego with my sister and brother-in-law. I was so excited they asked me to come. Sooo fun! We stayed in this awesome cabin at a KOA in San Diego...and we were so close to all of the good stuff. I am now bff with my nephew Eli. I just love that kid. Here are some fun pictures of our trip!

San Diego! 

This old but classy/gorgeous hotel...Hotel Del Coronado. Beautiful! 

Eli at the Hotel Del beach. This kid is going to be a swimmer. He LOVES the water! 

Isn't this just gorgeous? 

Hotel Del. 

We visited Old San Diego and saw a lot of cool stuff!

Uh...a cool tree. haha 

An awesome old Victorian home!

We also visited this awesome cove where we were so lucky to get a parking spot. We walked around the beach, saw some old people playing bingo, saw and smelled seals (they stunk bad even from way far away. barf. haha. ), took pictures, got stared at by people that thought Eli was the cutest thing they had ever seen, soaked in the sun, heard tons of other languages, splashed around in the water, and just relaxed. It was such a gorgeous day!

I love the ocean.

AND...I learned how to rip-stick. It is basically a much cooler, but harder version of skateboarding. Haha. I loved it! Super fun. 

I just loved hanging out with Casey and Eli. We had this awesome swing on the porch so we could just chill and talk...or battle on Fruit Ninja...or laugh. And we got to go to Ruby's for Casey's Birthday dinner...where we had the nicest waiter ever. Seriously though. I LOVE Ruby's. It is a tradition to eat there whenever we go to California. And Eli just cracks me up. He is seriously THE happiest baby ever. He just laughs and talks and smiles. :) Oh...Casey and Jayson also introduced me to this awesome show called "The Middle". I loved watching and laughing with them...or just watching the show as they laughed. I really did think it was funny! Thank you Casey and Jayson and Eli for letting me hang with you guys! I had a blast! 

After San Diego I left BACK up to Provo the day after we got home in order to interview for jobs. I am officially sick of driving in a car...haha. It feels great to be home. :)
