Utah

Dear Utah,

     Today is my last day as a resident of your beautiful state. I thought I wouldn't be sad to leave you, but I was wrong. Thank you for being my home away from home all these years. Thank you for introducing me to Cafe Rio and fry sauce. Thank you for teaching me that ratting your hair is awesome. Thank you for giving me awesome roommates that became some of my best friends. Thank you for teaching me the grid system. Thank you for making it cool to wear a one piece swim suit. Thank you for making me feel really out of shape every time I hiked the "Y". Thank you for all the late night runs to 7 eleven. Thank you for consistently having construction on I15. Thank you for all the Saturdays spent laying out at Liberty Square. Thank you for the freezing winters and the burning hot summers. Thank you for letting me meet my husband here. Thank you for letting us get engaged and married here. Thank you for being a wonderful place to start a family. I will miss you and all my wonderful family and friends that are still here. I cant wait for the holidays when I can visit you again.

                                                

                                                                    Your dear friend,

                                                                              Sarah Jean

Grad

I need to give a quick shout out to this cute guy!!!!!

I am so proud of him. 

in the past year he...

 became a husband 

had an internship with Apple

worked crazy hard and was offered a job at Apple

finished his undergrad

was accepted into the masters program 

worked part time

made Pudgy Penguin

won several awards for Pudgy Penguin

took care of his (cranky) pregnant wife

became a father

and now FINALLY...

a college grad

I'm not gonna lie, I got a little emotional as he walked across the stage to receive his diploma.

I am so grateful for all his hard work, and for the wonderful husband and father that he is.

Back when we first started dating I asked him what his dream was,

and he said, to work at Apple.

Then he asked me, 

and I said, to be a mom.

I'm so glad we get to live out our dreams together!

Now onto the next chapter of our lives!
