Splash Pad!! Loving that finals are over and the warm sun!
Packing up! Sad day :(
Our roommates and I made a quote wall of all the funny things we said throughout the year!
Done and all packed up!
Our last Swig for at least 3 months!
Gosh! This is super late, but had to share this! Well... May 2, 2014 we headed home from my (Bethany's) first year at Dixie State University! What a journey! Leaving was much harder than I ever thought it would be. I don't know if many people know this, but after arriving in St. George in August I was not loving it. I was extremely homesick. I was ready to leave the next day, literally :)!! The Lord had different plans for us. As our family likes to call it- A Miracle! May sound cheesy or even kind of crazy, but I was coming home for sure.
I hate endings, I actually hate change in general. This is a bad thing in my personality because of the fact that change happens all the time! Being in Dixie State and St. Geezy was seriously one of the best years of my life! I can't begin to describe what I have learned about my Savior and Father in Heaven, and what I have learned about myself. I grew a stronger testimony of this gospel. I know it is true. My Savior lives and is very aware of me. Time after time down there I had to rely on my Savior. I had to rely on the HOPE the gospel gives me. Let's not forget the people we met, the laughs we shared, the tears we cried (many times because of stupid boys, but seriously :)), the decisions we had to make, the many grocery store visits, Dairy Queen/Milkshakes, Kneaders and our handsome manager, meeting Daagel, Chick Fil A, Larkrise to Candleford, Dixie State Baseball games, Bonfires, and I could probably go on and on, but I am going to stop!

This is an amazing post, you will never regret writing about it. It made me of course miss you guys but also made me wish I would have done college and worked through something hard like you guys did! I am like you Beth I hate change and endings and can see that the reason I didn't do it is because It would be to hard. That year of college and anything else you face will prepare you for your future. You both are amazing and I couldn't be more proud of you two!
