Yesterday marked one year since Justin and I both graduated from BYU. It's been fun for me to think back on everything that has changed since then. Mostly, I am amazed at all of the milestones Gracie has reached and at how quickly she has grown up.
When we left Provo, I was ready to get away, sick of class, and excited for a life without school. We've loved this year in southern Utah but I don't feel bad to admit that I sometimes get homesick for Provo. The sites that I like to visit in my mind are: the cougar stadium, the mangum knight building, the malt shoppe, the Y on the mountain, Macey's, apartments of friends and family, the creamery, BB5, the colony, our little white house, the indoor track, the library(Okay, maybe not), the WILK, the provo river trail, and the many routes that I walked to and from school.
Here is an extra shout out to those who heart the Y and an extra special shout to any and all who just barely walked for graduation, oh, and a shout out to those who may be in a Provo for a very long time to come :)

I heart the Y too!! I love to go down to Provo for football games or a quick stop at the bookstore but it does remind me that it will never be the same as it was when I was a student there. I loved being so involved with events going on and spotting friends all around campus. I remember when I started dating Joseph and how excited I would get just thinking about running in to him on campus--made the walks in between classes such an adventure :) Favorite spots: Campus Life Design in the WILK, the Richards building (where I spent 90 percent of my BYU years :) and the JKHB.
I definitely miss you guys up here! Give me a call this weekend. I'd love to see you!
There are a very few things we miss about Provo. I mainly miss Cafe Rio (that's anywhere in Utah), and BYU campus is always awesome. It's a place I feel like home since I spent four years getting to know the campus intimately as a student. We're glad we were able to visit there just this past week and had lots of fun.
I can't believe it's been a year. I am so glad to be done with homework, but miss the social interactions we had in our program. Cute picture of Gracie, by the way.
