Crazy Life

When does life ever start to slow down? Winter semester at BYU is always a rough one. There is no spring break, it still continues to snow, and the months of March and April are always jam packed with way to many dance events. Again I plead....when does life start to slow down? Senior Projects went well last week. I want to thank everyone again who made it out...truly I appreciate it. Now that that is complete I have two more shows this week, and way to many projects, papers, and tests to do before the semester is over (aka 2-3 weeks). I apologize for complaining...I am just the voice of a Senior who is ready to be complete....but don't get me wrong I am trying to enjoy the journey. So, tonight was wonderful because we were able to take a small little break and go grab some amazing burgers at FIVE GUYS!! We went with our good friends the Carters...who we love....and Aaron's brothers. Five Guys officially opened in Orem, Utah today and to say the least we were stoked!! I am ten pounds heavier, but one happy girl. Here are just a few pics...five guys, my senior project, and the lovely roses Aaron and my parents bought for my performance.









Also, Aaron had got a bunch of his mission buddies together this past week and had a guys night at the local Peruvian restaurant.

Psychology and Dance

Just some updates for the past week...Aaron was inducted for life into the National Honors Society in Psychology, Psi Chi. He was able to be inducted into this great association because he is in the top 30 percent of the Psychology majors at BYU. WOW, I am so proud of my man. Congratulations Aaron!!
From Wednesday to Saturday of this past week I had the oppurtunity to attend ACDFA (American College Dance Festival Association). It is just a conference for dancers throughout your region to come together take classes, watch performances, and also perform. It was a great experience to associate myself with other dancers throughout the Northwest region and learn from others professors from other colleges. The experience really allowed me to appreciate Brigham Young University and the wonderful education I am recieving, and the people I associate with everyday.
Anyways.....that has been our week. This next week is going to be even more crazy. I am preparing to present my dance for Senior Project Showcase. Wish me luck!!

Run, run, run.....

Saturday morning Aaron and I decided to get out there and run a 5K run. It was the annual Rex Lee Run at BYU for cancer fighters/cancer research. There was probably a little over a thousand that participated. We really had a great time. Aaron's goal was to not walk and he successfully achieved that goal. I felt pretty good when I saw that we had kept the same pace as another couple that looked pretty in shape. Aaron was cracking me up throughout the race especially when no one around us was really talking, just breathing heavily, he tried to get everyone going by yelling, "Give me an R, give me an E, give me an X...REX LEE RUN!!!!" He also told a little boy at the end who started to walk that he had to keep going because he couldn't give up. Aaron's positive personality just seems to always rub off on everyone he is around.



Then after that grand race Aaron and I headed to a BYU vs. Utah baseball game. I absolutely LOVE baseball games on a nice sunny day. We also had to get a hot dog and peanuts...no game is complete without these two things. Baseball games also bring me back the Atlanta Braves games with my dad. Wonderful memories!!

LOVE is in the air....

Well I am pleased to announce the engagement of my brother-in-law Adam Young to Miss Amanda Dawson!!! YAY!!! We are so excited to welcome this lovely lady into the Young family. They just got engaged this morning in Georgia at Kennesaw Mountain.


We are so happy for these two love birds!!! Love you both dearly!! Welcome to the family Amanda!

Pictures

Well I really don't have one thing to blog about, so I thought I would just put some recent pictures up and tell what we have been up to. So randomly I was just taking some pictures around our apartment. Here you will notice the cinder block walls and the baby blue counter tops probably from the 60's, but we love it and we do what we can with it. Also you will notice my three southern foods, which we have hanging in the kitchen. I saw these at a craft store and just had to have them.



Aaron has been apart of a basketball intramural team which he has really enjoyed. Here are just some pictures of my amazing man!



Thursday night, Adam and his girlfriend Amanda invited us to go with them to the open house for the Draper, Utah temple. Too bad we didn't get a great picture of the temple, but we really had a great time.



Lastly here are just some random pictures of us coming home from working out and playing basketball at Pinnacle's gym today.

What a day!

Well first off today is Aaron and I's 10th month anniversary. YAY! We are still just as in love as that grand day back in May.

We also received my camera officially in the mail today! Another YAY! Absolutely love it. Aaron and I waited at home for an hour today for it to get here, and it sure did. I am one happy girl....Aaron can't stop playing with it too.
Last but not least the finale of the bachelor was on tonight. With our good friends the Carter's we rented out the theatre at Pinnacle (where Aaron works) to watch this dramatic closer. Ummmmm it sure was dramatic...but hey that makes great reality TV. To be honest I am happy with him choosing Molly in the end, but if he messes this one up I have absolutely no respect for the guy. Anyways....

Aaron and I had a wonderful weekend. We first went to dinner on Friday night to a great Mexican place and then to the dollar movies to see Valkerie. Great night! Then Saturday we went hiking up at Bridal Veil Falls and Sundance and enjoyed a picnic. Then that night went on a group date to the BYU creamery and bowling, with all of his brothers and their dates. And then Sunday I was able to catch up with all my girlfriends and have dinner together. All in all had a great weekend.
