I did it!

It feels so good to be done!

Since BYU doesn't do ceremonies in December, I'll be "walking" with Jared in April. Jared wanted to take a couple of snapshots of me today in my gown anyways.

Today I applied for a patient education job with Intermountain Healthcare at the Provo hospital that I really want! Cross your fingers for me!

Congratulations on Graduation!

After almost 3 years of surviving with 1 car we decided to quit working our little Cavalier so hard. This 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe is my graduation present! But we shall see who ends up driving it the most=) I'm reminded of that commercial of that couple who got a new car they loved and it turned into a contest of who could get up the earliest to drive it. Do you know which one I'm talking about?! haha

We love our new car, especially the All Wheel Drive in the snow!

Thanksgiving Montana Style

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are all prepared for Christmas! We had a great time with our families. So much so that I kind of forgot to take a lot pictures. We had Thanksgiving dinner at Jake and Rachel's and we got to meet our new nephew. Isn't Bridger so cute?
And Jaxon was such the little entertainer! I have a really funny video of him dancing but I can't get it to load onto the blog. Dad took us 4-wheeling on the Sun River game range. We didn't see any elk but the scenery was sure beautiful!


And of course we had more turkey at the Weishaar residence in Shelby. It was quite the rambunctious time with 22 bodies in the house. Bubbles was the big thing for the kids there. This is our nephew Tyler who happened to be inseparable from me the whole time we were there=).

Welcome Bridger Jacob Haynes

We now have 15 nieces and nephews! Bridger Jacob Haynes was born Nov 17. Isn't he adorable? We can't wait to see him next week! Congrats Rachel, Jake, and big brother Jaxon!

What we've been doing

I got a plead from my Dad to post something besides the Yankees post. I guess he got tired of looking at them =)

Jared spoiled me for my birthday last Tuesday. He bought me flowers, took me shopping most of the day (impressive huh?) and then out to eat at Macaroni Grill (one of my favorite restaurants!) for dinner. Thanks honey!

So I've been pretty busy lately. My final semester at BYU is wrapping up. I'm way excited but also nervous to enter the real world. This last week I started job hunting. With the economy right now there isn't a whole lot out there for entry-level positions. I've applied for a couple of jobs recently, and I'm waiting to hear back. Both of these companies work with businesses in the Utah valley to help their employees want to lead healthier lives. If I were to get hired I'd be like a health coach, meaning assessing the health of these employees and then helping them improve their health and well-being through instruction, motivation etc. So we'll just have to see, I just want something to keep me busy. If anyone hears of any openings that are health related be sure to let me know!

Jared has been busy with school also. He found out recently that he gets to do his Capstone semester (meaning his final semester, like an internship) at UVRMC in the ER. After he's finished there he'll have over 200 hours of experience in the ER which will be awesome for his resume! Maybe after he graduates in April they'll want to hire him on. That would be perfect since it is the closest hospital to where we live. Anyways, that's what we've been up to and hopefully this post wasn't too boring!

I just had to say this...

World Champions! Go Yankees!

The Adams family and the Oregon Coast

I got to spend 5 days with my sister Darcy, her husband Perry, and their adorable boys, Cash and Kyler. I had so much fun! They live in Toledo, OR, about 7 miles from the coast. Sweet huh? It was beautiful and I took a lot of pictures...This is at the aquarium...look out Cash! Its a giant crab!
Happy Halloween! Cash was a race car driver and Kyler a football player-pads and all. I think between the two they ate 12 suckers in about an hour! They loved it, and I loved the chocolate they didn't want. hehe
Our pumpkins we carved.
Cash loves to gather the chicken eggs. He's such a good helper!
Darcy and Perry have a super nice, huge yard! My job was to push Cash up the hill in his truck and then he'd laugh all the ways back down. Sometimes he'd even go backwards.

This chunky monkey loves to eat! So darn cute!
Darcy on the coast.
The Oregon coast has so many neat rocks that have been slowly carved away be the waves. Darcy spoiled me and took me to lots of different beaches along the coast.


This is Cobblestone beach with the tide out. Instead of sand there are smoothly rounded lava rocks that clatter as the waves go over them- just like a horse-drawn carriage going over a cobblestone road. This is where we saw lots of seals and sea lions too. If you look closely there are some sitting on the large rock above.





My favorite thing was to explore all of the tide pools. It was like a treasure hunt. One protected beach had so many starfish! Too bad I couldn't keep one.
eWe also made a trip to the Tillamook cheese factory. The cheese and ice cream there was so delicious. The boys wanted to play with the cows =)
I had a hard time leaving my fun nephews...I wanted to take them home with me! Thanks Darcy and Perry for showing me around!
