One of the best things about being a teacher is getting a SPRING BREAK! This week has been so nice hanging out with friends, lunch dates with Kevin, shopping, pool, and so much more! (Pictures to come soon!) As I picked up Kevin from class while driving through campus, I recalled so many good times as I saw freshman love walking back to the dorms, friends enjoying j-dawgs, and students walking home on their cell phones. It hit me that I'm
finally graduating next week. It seems like I've been gone from BYU for a while now because I've been teaching since August. Our cute friend
Kamille did a "BYU in Review" when she graduated and I couldn't think of a better way to take a trip down memory lane.
So HERE'S TO...

I can't express how much I've loved being at BYU. I've met some of the
greatest people. I've learned what it takes to be a
good teacher. I've learned to always do the
harder thing. I've learned to
love and be
gracious in everything. I've learned the importance of
gratitude. I came to BYU wanting to become a teacher and am leaving as so much more.
HERE'S TO...
What lies ahead... and I couldn't be more excited!
