hello summer!

I am so happy to say that it is finally the perfect weather in Flagstaff and we are soo looking forward to this summer! Don't get me wrong, the winter was fun for awhile and puts you in the holiday spirit, but NOT when it randomly keeps snowing till May and you're dreaming about outdoor activities and summer time! :-/ The temp is between 70-80's right now, and its beautiful outside! Poor Brandon is back in school again for the summer but he did have a nice little break for a few weeks (mostly playing music non-stop!). He is super excited to graduate at NAU DECEMBER 17TH! Woohoo! Anyone want to come to his graduation and also come play in the snow ? :-) Sorry we can fit you all in our 1 bedroom apartment though haha. But there are some nice hotels or cabins close by!

Not much is new with me. Just anxious to do an internship soon so I can finally get my Registered Dietitian credential. I'm applying to internships again this fall and I'll find out in Nov. I'm applying to one in Phx, AZ, Madison, WI, and Houston, TX. Its super competitive to get into one mostly because the # of students in this field has doubled in the past 2 years and the # of internships spots remains the same. If I don't get into one I have no clue what to do next! Either try again? Or go another direction? Go to Grad school? Its so frustrating not knowing what you will be doing with your life after working so hard for your degree but then again its kind of exciting! I know it will all work out in the end. I'll be doing what I was meant to do. Brandon and I are pretty flexible as to what we will do and where to go so we'll see!

Last weekend we took a mini vaca to Pinetop where my parents were selling in a art show. We helped them sell and stayed in a friends cabin in Heber which was pretty fun too. Next time we need to find the hookups for ATVs or a boat though ;-)

Well here's just some pics from last weekend.

Brandon helping my dad sell these pictures frames who he sells for a friend. They are silly personalized frames but sell like hotcakes! Believe it or not but the lady who started this business is now making the big bucks.

Happenings

Well I finally sat myself down to blog again! I don't know what to put up right now so it will be random happenings in the past year but I'll put up cooler things later :-)

Happy 24th birthday to Brandon a week and half ago!! :-) My mom and I got him his own guitar and I have not heard him stop playing since!

We helped my parents sell in an art show last weekend in Prescott. My mom was selling her jewelry and my dad just started selling these picture frames for this lady. Lucky their booths were next to each other. Brandon was quite the salesman selling earrings to some ladies too :-)

My parents came up for my bday last month. We went to Sedona and this is Oak Creek Canyon between Sedona and Flag
