How does one graduate from College?

In 2004 I didn't have many plans for my life.  
I was working for an amazing company and was 
comfortable with the idea of staying in the Tri-Cities 
and attending the local community college.

In January of 2005 I decided to apply for 
Brigham Young University - Idaho (BYU-I) 
and was accepted to start in the Fall.  


I packed up and moved into my first apartment 
with Rachel Grover.  
Our other four roommates where seniors.  
They were a fun group of girls.  
As most college apartments
it was small, but perfect.






My initial hope 
was to get into the Nursing Program.  
Sadly, yet okay, I was not accepted into the program and decided to declare my major to be Health Science.  

My fifth semester in school I decided to tack on a Medical Assistant minor.  This only lasted one semester.
In the middle of Medical Law and Ethics
I felt strong impression that I needed to move in with
my brother and his family.  (Thankfully his wife was okay with it)
The summer of 2007 I moved to Seattle Washington
and had one of the best summers of my life!
Just look at these kids.  It was a blast to watch them
grow up!

Towards the end of the summer I made
another life altering decision.
I would serve a Full-Time Mission for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.


It worked out perfectly that I only had a 
couple more classes to complete 
and I would receive my associates degree.


When I returned from my mission I went
back to school ten days later.  During my mission
(and with a little help from my mom) I decided
to take education classes when I got home.


Five semesters after I got home
from my mission I completed my course work
on campus.  The only thing left was
student teaching.


My parents and I decided that instead
of coming back to Rexburg, after
student teaching, that I would
walk in December instead of April.







I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada for
 student teaching. LOVED IT!!




Now the waiting game begins.  Job hunting
is the new adventure.
