Duh!

I forgot the most important date:

May 24th, 2012:  The day I am sealed to my handsome man for time and all eternity in the Draper Temple! 

I love him so much and can't wait to marry him!!

Graduation is finally here!

I just turned in my last CFD project report EVER!

It still hasn't hit me yet.  After five years of long nights  in the lab, 20 hours of homework a week, projects, presentations, labs, programming, building, designing, studying, praying, and stressing, I'm actually going to graduate.  I have officially become a grown-up.  I'm graduating, starting a job, and getting married within this next month.  Talk about killing THREE birds with one stone.  I'm going to have to start getting into some fun hobbies now that I have an extra 20 hours a week. 

I've decided that I want to become a good cook, so my husband will always be happy after dinner :)  Good food has never been a huge priority to me (weird right?) because I go home basically every weekend to my mother's amazing cooking.  Pretty soon, it's going to be MY amazing cooking (someday when I've been married for at least 5 years).  I'd also like to get better at the guitar now that I have time to practice.  I could even become a quirky, crafty wife and let Pinterest run my life and style.  NO!  I don't want to do that.  It's not my thing.. Maybe I'll start doing it when we have a house.  I won't worry about that now.

So here's the schedule for the next month or so...

This weekend:  Get invites sent to all our lovely people- watch my cute fiance run a half marathon-have a bridal shower put on my my new in-laws :)- spend time with my favorite person and family

Wednesday, May 2nd:  Last Final of my entire life ( unless I decide to go back to school and get a masters...)

Friday, May 4th: Graduation Openhouse
Saturday, May 5th: Graduation Ceremony (My family, Nate's family are coming up to celebrate!)
Move home sometime that week

Monday, May 7th:  I start my internship training at Rio Tinto.  I'm super excited to work for them.  I know I won't be stuck in an office all summer like I was last year, and I'll get to go on job sites and use my degree :)

Tuesday, May 8th:  My roommate and best friend is getting married!

May 11th: Moving into our apartment.  Also going to Bear Lake to practice for concrete canoe competition in June.

May 19th:  I take my endowments out :)

Ok this is way to long, and I didn't even put pictures in this one.  I'll get it next time you 5 followers.  Stay tuned!

I can't believe it's almost here! 36 days!

I get to marry my best friend in 36 days! That means I won't have to only see him on the weekends. No more driving from Logan to South Jordan almost every weekend. (it is ridiculously exhausting and I feel bad because I never get to see my roommates). I can't believe I'm going to be Mrs. Jackson and start that new chapter in my life.
I also graduate in two weeks! I never thought the day would come... I just planned on going to school forever. It's almost surreal to think how close I am from that diploma :). Once I graduate I have one day to get ready for my internship at Rio Tinto! I get to wear steel boots and a hard hat for work and I just want to start working!

Here is a preview of what our invites look like-ish: enjoy!
