However, moving out of Utah does have some benefits. I'm trying to look at the bright side of things. Let's list all the good things about moving out of Utah!
1. Moving to DC
2. Being with family
3. No more walking and driving in the never-ending winters of snow and ice
4. Graduating!
5. PARKING
6. Seeing friends that have not been in Utah
7. Good Mexican food
8. Getting sleep! (at least before I get to DC!)

Ok...the list of good reasons to leave Utah is longer than the reasons for not leaving. I guess I've made the right decision in moving. However, I will never forget my 3 years of living in Utah. I made some of the greatest friends, got a great education, and had the best job in the world! I definitely had some trials, but the good times have outweighed the bad for sure. But I can't deny that I already miss it!
Here are some pics of all the events this past week!
My parents came up for graduation and we went to TUCANO'S for a pre-graduation lunch
Elder Scott spoke at Commencement
After Commencement my parents and I went to Goodwood for dinner with my friend Kelly and her husband Mac. It was really hard to say goodbye to Kelly! I miss you Kell!
Me packing all my stuff. It was a very stressful event. This was pre-tears!
LeGrand Richards spoke at Convocation. He was great. He wrote a song about what our lives would be like after graduation and so he whipped out his guitar and sang it to us. It was hilarious. I wish I had it on film!
Immediately after graduating! I'm pretty sure I'm listening to my voicemail here and it was my brother congratulating me for "some accomplishment." Thanks Brooks!
My car was PACKED!!! And it was only a fraction of my stuff. I have an aunt and uncle that are staying in Springville for a couple more weeks and they are bringing the rest of my stuff home for me, thank heavens!
Goodbye Charisma! This is the dance studio that I have worked at for the past 3 years. I got the job just a few days after I moved to Utah. It was such a blessing. Some of my greatest memories of Utah involve working here. It really was home away from home!
