Here's to the future

"There is no substitute under the heavens for productive labor. It is the process by which dreams become realities. It is the process by which idle visions become dynamic achievements"
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

Alyssa and I are working hard to make some dynamic achievements. It's been a little challenging this week but the payoff has been great.

Sunday surprise

Sometimes we have dinner parties.




And then we're too tired to clean up our rooms after we're done.


It's going to be a crazy week.

Start of something new

Another new semester at BYU and I can't help but feel that this is the semester that will change the rest of my life. I keep thinking that at this point last year I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I'd been so sure that I wanted to study dietetics but after about four weeks in my intro to nursing class I knew that I wanted to be a nurse. I continue to be grateful for every prompting, decision, and event that has led me to this point. I am thrilled to have such an amazing opportunity. So without further adieu here are some pictures of the one and only time I'll wear my uniform this semester.
