congratulations.. you are all growed up..

Graduation. It is funny how in high school I made such a big deal about it, whereas in college I worked nine and a half times harder and all I really wanted to do was have dinner with my family to celebrate.

Oh, BYU, you will always have a special place in my backpack of my life. A few great memories...

1. Kidnapping Yoda with all my Freshman pals.
2. Driving all the way to St. George and back in one day JUST to get In-N-Out.
3. Trips to Vegas with the Purcell's.
4. Parties with some Iron Fireman's, horchata, and steak in the Danger Lounge at Aspen Grove.
5. MOAB!!
6. Long days at the Candy Counter with my favorite Co-Workers (Christmas Preview night...)
7. Food Adventures! And running adventures into the Canyon!
8. Campus Plaza.. N311.. Alf... My INCREDIBLE roommates.
9. Sleeping in the RB office because I didn't want to come back at 6 AM.
10.  Rappelling at Battle Creek Falls and taunting llamas at the Hindu Temple.

This really is only a fraction of my fondest memories at BYU. Thanks to all my professors, friends, and family that have made it such a grand experience. And now, I will step out into the "real world".... full of possibilities...

and so it begins...

i have never been much of a technology fan.. i wouldn't consider myself a technophobe, but i am definitely impaired. but, it seems people just keep moving far away. (I LOVE MY FAMILY SO SO MUCH) this is a major problem. how will i share my stories? (we all know picking up the phone is just too much effort.) so, i finally decided to join the ranks of blogging. i am new at this, so be kind...


i was raised in the idaho desert, and have a soft spot in my heart for sagebrush. the outdoors is where i feel the closest to the real me. it is where i like to run as far as i can, hike the tallest mountains, have that sunrise awakening on a backpacking trip... i would probably lose my sanity without frequent adventures. despite my desire for all this freedom, i have spent the last four years in old buildings, studying about the human body.. philosophy.. spanish.. an judaism. don't get me wrong, those four years were exhilarating, but, it is time to move on. another of my passions is baking (hence, the name of the blog.. which will be the name of my future bakery). i am trying to master the art of bread. it takes a lot of flour and battles with crappy single student housing ovens. but, someday i will be a great baker. 


i plan to keep learning. that is really all i can say i will do for certain now. for a loooooong time i wanted to go to graduate school and become a physical therapist. i do still want that, but there are so many other options, i can't shut them out. but, more than anything i want to enjoy life. that is the real goal here.


i really want to travel. a lot. i want to o a kart-wheel on the great wall of china. and i want to have a clark gable moment in italy. 


so... i do not really know how else to describe what this blog will be, other than how i described it to my boyfriend (the incredibly handsome superman look-alike ian thomas davidson).. it will be me.. a bit of everything... presented in a manner that probably will not make much sense most of the time... with a lot of ellipses... i like those...
