Sneak Peak...

Thanks to my good friend Jordan Blaser here are some engagement photos! I didn't post "the one" so you'll just have to wait for the announcement to come out! She did such a great job! I was very happy with how they turned out! 






Well there you go! Check out the rest of Jordan's stuff here!

California here we come!

Right after graduation I was lucky enough to go back to California with Daniel's family to spend more time with Daniel before he moved down to Arizona! I was sooo happy I was able to do this since we'll be apart all summer! Finals week and graduation was so crazy that I barely got to see Daniel so it was great spending so much time with him right before we had to say goodbye for a while! 

One of the days we were there we went to San Diego with two of his roommates to go to a Padres game! It was so much fun! One of Daniel's life goals is to go to every MLB stadium in the nation. So Petco Park is crossed off the list. Here are some pictures from the game! 











 Every time he goes to a new stadium he buys a baseball and tries to get it signed if he can. This is him getting his baseball signed by the pitcher I think? 

 Our seats were so hot so we had to escape the sun for a little bit. 


 After the game, we went to see the San Diego Temple. It was beautiful!! 






 One day Daniel's friend took us shooting. We went in December when I visited so I was a little better this time..maybe? It was a lot of fun tho! 

 All the ammo! 

One day, Daniel's family took us to Morro bay to go kayaking and walk up and down the board walk. It was a pretty windy day but it was beautiful!! We kayaked out to that sandbar and saw a bunch of sealions. It was a lot of fun! 



Anytime I ask him to smile, this is what I get. Our wedding day is going to be difficult...


The whole crew

After Morro Bay we went to these cliffs on the coast.. I can't remember what they are called, but they were beautiful! And there were little bunnies everywhere! 


Always breaking the rules...



We walked along the coast until the sun was setting.



Sea creatures in tide pools.


We found a cute little cave.. It was pretty neat

Sunset on the beach! It was beautiful! And as cheesy as it sounds, it was so perfect being there with Daniel!


I was so lucky to able to go to California with Daniel and his family! We were able to get a lot of wedding things started which was great! And it was just great to spend time together without homework or work or anything else stressing us! So now, Daniel is in Arizona and I'm at home. It's definitely hard being apart but I'm so thankful for how hard Daniel is working for us! In June I'm going down to help him look for an apartment for us! We are getting so excited for August and can't wait for when we can be together!!

BYU Graduation!

Well I did it... After four years at BYU I graduated!!! I can't believe it already happened! It still hasn't sunk in quite yet! Here are some pictures of the big day! 


 Katie and I about to graduate! Katie was one of the first people I met freshman year and it was only appropriate that we were there together at the end! I'm going to miss her as a roommate!! 

My friends Ruth and Danica. We all worked at the testing center and became great friends! Ruth and I were also in the same major so we took a lot of the same classes. They are such good friends and I was sad to say goodbye to them!

Me, Katie, Anne and Alison. Chipman 2200 girls!  

 Cameron, Bryce and Daniel. Daniel's roommates since freshman year.
 Me and the guys! 

 Daniel and I! We graduated!! 
 Daniel almost fainted after the second graduation... He hadn't eaten anything all day.. haha 
 Look mom! 
 Grandma and Grandpa Callan came! 
 Laura and I.. Don't let the picture fool you.. I'm still taller than her.. We were on a hill. 
 Jill and I. Also one of my good friends and roommates since freshman year! 
 Daniel loves this picture for some reason.. 
The whole Lord family! 

Graduation was great and we were able to spend a lot of time with family and friends! A few days after graduation we headed to California before both Daniel's and my jobs start to spend time with his family and get some wedding plans taken care of. Daniel's job starts the second week in May and is in Arizona. Which is where we'll be living after we get married in August. I just have a temporary job in Utah until August when I can find a better one down in Arizona. Sadly we'll be doing the whole long distance thing for most of the summer with some trips in between here and there. It's been nice to spend this time together before we have to be apart for a while! I'll post about our time in California soon!
