I finally received all of my grades back from school and I have officially graduated!!! My next goal is to throw out all of my unwanted papers and folders full of assignments I will no longer need. Ya!!! Life after graduation has been busy. But a good busy with plenty of breaks. A week after I graduated Brighton and I helped my brother and sister in-law move to Nebraska for dental school. If was fun and relaxing drive in which we listened to Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows the entire time. Intense! After getting there and moving them in (for pictures of their new apartment look at their blog http://www.heatherandavid.blogspot.com/) they took us to the Omaha Zoo. It was huge! We were there for almost six hours and we didn't even see every thing. Here is a picture of us in front of the water fall in the zoo's rain forest.
David and I were watching the Gorilla when all of the sudden he grabbed a handful of grass and sat in this little outcove surrounded by glass. He just sat there eating the grass and watching all of the kids. He was so close to us it was awesome. It was funny though, because David was more fascinated by the gorilla then half of the kids. Here is a picture of my brother by the Gorilla. See any resemblance. Just kidding Dave. :)
Here is a picture of Brighton and Dave swinging on a vine like the monkeys in the rain forest. 
Flamingos, need I say more.
Brighton and I in our matching outfits. Just in case we got lost.
On Memorial Day we went to Lagoon with my other brother and sister in-law Sterling and Christy. It has been years since I have been there and it was fun. Rides are completely different when you are older. However, the Rocket still scares me to death! This is us on the swings. This ride gets more fun as you get older. One thing I found out about Brighton , is that he HATES roller coasters. I had a time getting him on the White Roller coaster and almost did not get him on the Wicked ride. Ironically enough, we went to Disney World on our Honeymoon and he was the one who wanted to go there.
And for the last bit of news that I have been excited to tell everybody and yet dreading it at the same time (no I am not pregnant) is that I signed up for the St. George Marathon and made it in. I am running the St. George Marathon on Oct. 3rd. I have been training for several weeks now and it has been going well. It is not easy but I was not expecting it to be. I am nervous to tell everybody because last time I signed up for a marathon I bombed out and didn't do it. However, the St. George Marathon is a lottery to get in so getting in is harder then just signing up. So I have to do it. My family already has the condo set up and they are planning on coming. So there is no backing out. I am just hoping to complete it in under five hours. I also signed up for the Provo River Half Marathon and I am excited about that. It is not my first time running it so I know what to expect and it should be fun. I am running it with my neighbor so that should add to the fun of it. That race is on August 8th.
I also ran in our Stake 5K run and got 3rd place in my age division! It has been the first time since elementary that I have placed in a race. I was very shocked and happy.
Life after graduation has been fun. I get to do everything I want to do and that is the best part. I just got back after running and the last mile it was raining so hard I was soaked. Nothing beats running in the spring rain.
