I'll make this short and sweet, but I just had to quickly mention that Russel and I have been married for five months today. Not long, I know, but long enough for me to recognize that it was the best decision I have ever made. Russ and I had a great adventure today, which I will write about soon, but the best part was just spending the day together.
Thank you for marrying me, sweetheart! I love you!

A Few Days Late and a Couple Dollars Short...But Who Cares, I'm Done!!
I started my final semester of classes for BYU via Indepedent Study when I moved to Virginia in January. I had the lofty goal of completing all my classes in time for April graduation, which gave me a little less than 3 months to finish 6 classes. Was I kidding myself, or what?! I was also recently engaged and planning a wedding. You tell me which is more fun...that's what I thought.
Finally, after 10 months of classes hanging over my head, I am done!!
I flew to Utah last week to take all my finals (it is not required that you take them at BYU, but it ended up being less expensive due to our free round-trip flight on Southwest). In addition to taking my finals, I got to see my wonderful sister, cousin, past roommates and friends. All in all, a great week. The best part is that now I am free of the guilt that comes with doing anything other than Independent Study classes. Oh, and the other best part is that my Mom can finally rest easy, no longer worried that I would never be a college graduate after I decided to go off and get married!

A Girls Day
Today was a perfect girls day out. I met up with my sister-in-law Tiffany and we set out to the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in Fairfax. Tiffany and I both had gift cards there (I received mine from my wonderful friends Jenny and Shanna for one of my bridal showers) so we decided to splurge on massages. After our wonderfully relaxing massages, we set out to the Cheesecake Factory. Lunch was delicious and, of course, we had cheesecake to top it off! Afterward, seeing as we were already at the mall, we took a little trip to one of our favorite places - Banana Republic.
It was so nice to have a day just for fun and spend time with Tiffany. I am so lucky - I've got the best in-laws around!
