End of an Era

I have been working for the Office of IT at BYU for three years. I have been working here since the first day of my classes at BYU and I can't think of my BYU experience without it. Although I wasn't too sad to end classes for a year and a half, leaving my job is a tear filled experience. I love the people, the environment, helping people on the phone and face to face. Everything about it, the experiences it has given me to grow and to learn and to become a better employee, a better student, and an overall better person. But since my mom doesn't want me to come back after my trip to Kentucky, then today must be my last day.



Good bye many long years of fun, fashion, and fones.

The fourth of Gorillas?

What is more patriotic than a Harley covered in sheep skin, saddle bags, and toting a gorilla topped trailer?

The answer: nothing.

Tahitian me Noni

A few weekends ago Kevin played piano at Tahition Noni. It was a beautiful performance and I got to wander around the gardens.

I decided that when I get back from my mission and especially when I am married and have some sort of land to my name, I want to have a beautiful garden full of trees, hidden benches and retreats and some sort of water source.

Doesn't it sound enchanting?

Kevin was also amazing on the piano.

Funny Face

Sometimes you just have to let loose, stuff your face with cherry tomatoes and let go.

Even if it seems a little scandalous.

Happy food

I love eating food. On Friday I invited my gorgeous friend Autumn over and we ended up making delicious food. Here are our left overs.

Does parsley just make you want to smile?



Kevin's plate wasn't nearly as happy to be finished.

Birthdays and Creativity

My co-worker found out that I like to decorate cakes so he asked if I would make one for his wife's birthday. He wanted pink cream cheese frosting with white icing for the writing. It was a lot of fun and I learned what not to do when making cream cheese frosting. I.e. don't melt the cream cheese beforehand, once you lose the consistency, it is gone. F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

Also, Kevin, with the best of intentions, made an entire bed of frosting leaves for the strawberries. I'm not sure how I feel about them, but they are good, just a little funny looking.

I bet Stephanie was so happy.

Did I mention that it is double layer cake and that I filled it with the cream cheese filling and cut up strawberries. Mmmm, I hope it tastes good. I probably ate at least a cup worth of frosting making this and if that is any indication, then it will be amazing.

Cutie for the pot

Sometimes I forget just how nice Kevin is. Yesterday though I was reminded why I like him so much.

I had to call my internet provider in order to cancel our service as they are charging us an arm and a leg and it is under someone else's name. However, it took a while to go through all of the explaining and transferring from office to office and so I took off my shoes while I was sitting in Kevin's car, kicking them onto the grass while I waited. When I finally finished I shut the door and we drove off to my next appointment.

We drove into the parking lot, I started to get out of the car, and low and behold, MY SHOES WERE GONE! I had left them in the grass and I didn't have time to both go back and get them and run this errand. So Kevin selflessly gave me the shoes off his feet and I walked around looking slightly like a clown until he brought me back my shoes. It was a wonderfully kind thing to do.


Then after my long day at work when I was tired and hungry, he came over with a load of my laundry that he had cleaned and beautiful flowers. He knows that since my floral design class that I have a love of flowers, especially exotic looking ones. So he brought me some myrtus, delphinium and a stem of orchid. Aren't they beautiful?
