I should blog...

thats what I keep thinking to myself. And there is so much to be blogged about but I am so behing that I don't even know where to begin. Okay fine, I do. But it has been a week since I blogged. 

Ready, set, recap!

A week ago today I took my geography final... and boy did that one feel great to get over with! I also was on campus from 7-9 with 2 hours of sleep. Huge headache+little food+lots of work = a not very amazing day.

Thursday I went to Maglebeys for the first time. Then I went strait to campus and I took my last final!! And let me tell you... it felt good! It felt great actually! Taking that last final is just the best feeling ever. Thennn I ran strait to the Marriot Center to go to Travis's commencement. It was great.

holy huge graduating class.

Thursday ended with me packing my whole apartment up which resulted in and keeping val awake until 2 am. I really am so bad at packing! But I did get rid of a whole box of  useless/sentimental/useless stuff. Last time I moved from the dorms to the colony I got rid of a box of stuff as well... so I am thinking the more I move, the more stuff I will get rid of, and easier it will get! Although I did add a whole box of books...

Friday morning came early.
At 6 am I found myself outside in a nice dress that I was going to wear to Trav's graduation later... hauling boxes everywhere... unfortunately all my other clothes were packed away for good. We then moved most of my belongings to Gpa Schlappi's garage for the summer. After that we rushed to graduation and it was great! I want to graduate like, now. Fun fact: out of the 7 people that got PhD's, 4 of the were from China. Asian Invasion... they are taking over.

I'm really gonna miss this kid.
the grandparents came. huzzah!

Travis... pulled out one of his famous winkey faces ;););) I barely caught it on camera

Only a few of Travis's fans... Thanks DeeDee for coming out!
After graduation I had to deep clean my whole apartment... (still in dress. so fun)... and travis's whole apartment. and be out by 3 pm. It was a party.

Friday night we headed over to Lehi to have a little party with the Schlappi family. Travis loved his sign... as you can tell. haha.

collett made travis some "smarty pants"

Saturday I headed home! We left early and I got home in time to watch the last night of the Easter Pageant. I loved it. Love love love. Easter isn't easter without the Easter Pageant at the Mesa temple. I also got to see Brigham my adorable nephew who is getting huge!! I am just so happy to be home.

Sunday was Easter. I love Easter. It was an amazing day as usual.

Monday Tara, mom, and I left to the ER at 6:00 in the a.m. She needed surgery on her head again. It was a long day and She didn't go through the double doors for surgery until 3 in the afternoon. We stayed with her until about 10 that night and then Josh stayed the night with her. I posted more details are on her blog here.

Tuesday Tara came home and I stayed home, unpacked and watched Food Network with her... I'd say it was a great day :)

Now today. I am pretty much Tara's personal nurse. I went on a run today finally and it felt amazing. Tara felt good enough to ride next to me on a bike! I was honestly shocked she felt good enough but it was a grand old time :) My mom flew out to Provo tonight for a little vacation with all the sisters on the Schlappi side... So that means I'm the Mom for the weekend! That means... cooking, driving nate-dawg around, cleaning, cooking again, and cleaning. Oh plus taking Tara to all her doctors appointments and making sure she takes all her pills and everything. It's going to be fun.

Anyway, writting this annoyingly long blog post motivated me to not get behind anymore!! But we'll see... my blog may become nonexistent over the summer because I will be in Mesa.... So hello to 9 hour work days and early bedtimes and say goodbye to interesting blog posts...
