Moving Forward!

We have officially signed our lease for June 1st in Denver!!! We will be living at the Pearl which currently not even built yet. We decided on this place because of the discounts they were giving due to construction. This gave us a way better deal for the incredible apartment we will be in. We have been preparing more and more for the future each day. Applying for scholarships, financial aid, and preparing for graduation. Our biggest concern right now is a job for Ky that will work during school in the fall. If you have any ideas please let me know. He is currently majoring in information systems and will be doing an internship during the summer!

Lately I have been struggling with motivation and wishing my life away. I have dreamed of the day I graduate and move back to Colorado with my sweetheart since the day I moved out here and it is so close I can almost taste it. I find myself just wishing the days would go by faster. I was walking across campus yesterday though and thought about how these next two months will be the last time I can be a part of BYU. This school has provided me with so many great experiences and has left my hopeful for a bright future. I have met so many good friends and people while I was here who have definitely changed me. Here is a list of what BYU has done to me:

1. Shown me my potential in the business world and encouraged to go forth to serve with all that I have.
2. Grown my testimony of the Savior and allowed me to make my religion an everyday part of my life.
3. Made me work harder and longer than I ever thought I could. I actually enjoy the feeling of walking to my car in the dark knowing that I made the most of a long day.
4. Grown my knowledge of not only business and accounting, but art, science, English, and all other subjects.
5. Allowed me to meet my husband Kyle who has given me more happiness than I could have ever imagined.
6. Shown me my adventurous side through trips to Saint George, Moab, California, and Arizona. Weekend trips are some of my favorite memories.
7. Unfortunately BYU has in fact made me less accepting of others. I have become immersed in the culture and how things "should" be done in this life. I am excited to go back to Colorado and combine my strong beliefs with an broader acceptance of others.
8. Given me the opportunity to work with a company like to Deloitte this summer. I feel like my percentage of credit I can take for this is about 0% with all the help from the Lord, professors, school reputation, and help from so many others.
9. Provided me new trials that allowed me to grow up and be a stronger woman.
10. Helped me to gain my independence and be ok with just being with myself. I wouldn't trade that confidence for anything.

I owe so much to this school and all those who have helped me through it. Only two more months:)

  1. It will come by fast!! I remember when I got my offers for Boston & NYC around this time and I was like WOWOWOOW I only have 2 more months left? I didn't want it to go by fast because this kind of college life only comes once! I'm excited for your new adventures, Devin! and I love you so much!
