End of Life as We Know It

So once we decided where to go to law school, April just sped by!

I finished up my internship at Elevate Utah Fitness and Rehabilitation. I worked as a physical therapy tech and taught weight loss classes and helped a little with nutrition counseling. It was really fun! I always thought I would enjoy PT and was able to spend four months working side-by-side with a therapist learning about the field. My time there made me want to become a PT and really exposed me to the profession.

Nate and I also finished up our last few classes at BYU! It was crazy and busy and fun and sad all at the same time. I had been working hard for a long time and the end was finally coming! To commemorate our graduation, I had our friend Kristen take some pictures as I drug Nate around campus :)

The view from our balcony. Provo is so beautiful in April! 

Flowers planted especially for graduation 

In front of the Y. We loved hiking up there!

So excited to be graduating!

I loved living in Provo. It was such a great city to go to college in. There was always something going on! They had tons of restaurants, sporting events, movie theaters, and other attractions that were so fun! And, everything was cheap or free because there were so many college students in town. We are bummed to leave some of our favorite one-of-a-kind restaurants behind (we LOVE food), but will always find new ones! 

But to be honest, I was SO ready to get out of Provo. I feel like I had grown out of it and was ready for something new. I really didn't want to go to law school and be in town for another 3 years, but was prepared to do so if I had to. I made Nate promise that we would get a new apartment if we stayed there because I needed something new! And new is what we got!

The hardest part about leaving, and really the only reason I'd have wanted to stay, are the friends we made there. We had some great friends: some from back home, some significant others that joined the group along the way, and some great new ones as well! I knew we couldn't stay there forever, especially because a lot of them were leaving too, but it was sad to think we were leaving them to go to a place where we really didn't know anyone. That was much harder for me because I love people. I need friends around! I could hang out with friends every night of every weekend see them during the week too, and be perfectly happy. Nate is more of a homebody, which never ceases to blow my mind.

It was a great end to an awesome era of our lives. I will always have fond memories of Provo, of Brigham Young University, and of the friends and experiences there.

Love those mountains!
