We're excited that its finally summer and actually warm outside! We love the fact that we're done with school and both able to work a lot and play hard! We celebrated our 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY on JUNE 3rd! We went to Lagoon and then out to dinner in Salt Lake! We got to hang out with our friends, Jake and Jenn, a couple of times already! Last week we went to the Pleasant Grove Rodeo with them! Rodeos are hilarious, I love em! We also got to hang out with our friends the Eberts, Brian and Katherine, up at there place in Salt Lake! It was great to finally see them again! We just got back from our ward barbecue and the Orem Owlz baseball game! Both were fun, except the Owlz got killed! We love baseball! We got to go boating last week, which felt so good! I'm glad were able to board and tube! I did really good on the wakeboard! I got up on my first try, jumped the wake several times, and only had to scream "cut" after what seemed like forever because my arms were sooo tired! It was FUN! So, most all our friends and family already know this, but we're officially moving to MICHIGAN at the end of the summer! Preston had to decide which law school he wanted to attend by the end of June, and so its been decided! We're going there next month to look for jobs, and HOUSES! Wahoo! We'll miss our family and friends in Utah, but are excited to be starting a new chapter of our life! Michigan, here we come!

Vegas, Kites, & Guitars!

Preston showing his new beard!

My cutie with his guitar...in our living room.

Jammin away!

I had to post some pics of my cute husband because he's so excited about growing a beard now that he's graduated from BYU and doesn't have to abide by their grooming standard! He is really catching on to the guitar now, he loves it so much and is playing ALL the time! I must admit, he's getting really good!! He can play almost anything now! Its fun because he plays the guitar and I either sing or play the piano along with him! We can record songs on my keyboard and have lots of fun during our little recording sessions!! Last week it was really windy so we bought some kites at Walgreens-I got Dora the explorer and Prest got Spongebob.We went to the school by our house and flew them!

My Dora the explorer kite!

Watching our favorite show, King of Queens!

Prest running with his kite!

Concentrating hard to get his kite up

Flying my kite!

I went to Las Vegas with my friend Lindsay the first weekend in May! She's a fellow registered nurse I use to work with! We stayed at Circus Circus and got to see a lot of cool circus acts! We went to an amusement park that's located inside the hotel and had fun on all the rides! The first night we went to a variety show and saw some amazing acrobats, gymnasts, magic acts, etc. The next night we got to see Donny and Marie Osmond perform at the Flamingo Hotel and they were awesome! They put on a great show, I was quite impressed! We also went to a funny hypnotist show and were grateful it didn't get too scandalous! We did a lot of shopping and walking! It was 100 degrees, I almost died! We went to the top of the Stratosphere, but were too sick from the amusement park to ride any of the rides there! We walked through all the big hotels, and ate at some nice restaurants! I Love Las Vegas! It was fun because I got to take my new SUV on its first road trip, and we even stopped at In & Out Burger in St. George, I love their burgers! It was a such fun weekend, even though I missed my hubster!

I got to see Donny & Marie perform in Vegas!

Donny's actual Technicolored Dreamcoat!

Out at the pool in Vegas! 100 degrees!

GRADUATION!

We're now BYU Alumni! We both graduated!I got a BS in Family Life, & Prest a double major BA in Poli Sci and Russian! It feels amazing to have accomplished something & see our hard work pay off! It was good to see our fams, I'm so glad my dad got to come! We got to eat at Olive Garden & McGrath's, two of my favs! I wore heels & almost tripped walking off the stage! You'd have thought I'd learned better, since the same thing happened at my nursing school graduation 2 yrs ago! We were also able to visit my big sis on temple square where she's serving a mission. It was great! Prest's fam had a fun graduation party for us! It was fun to see everyone! Thanks to everyone for your love & support, & the gifts! We had snow on April 16th! I thought we'd be graduating in the snow! So, I'm an old fart now! I'm officially 23! I had a fun b-day, Prest gave me some shirts, Twilight on blueray & the soundtrack, & $100 gift certificate to a day spa! He took me out to eat at Chef's Table, it was so good! My fam sent me some cute shirts & jewelry, & Prest's fam gave me a new purse with matching flip flops! Now we're so excited for vacations, boating (wakeboarding!), our tennis league, & to work, play, & have fun this summer!
