he's here!

Just for the record, this is not my baby -- it is my brother & sister-in-law's. And he is cute!

P.S. He does have a name : Corgan Farrell Reeves. Yay babies!

a portrait

On Saturday, I was outside potting some plants for our steps. The cute upstairs girls wanted to hang out, and the 4 year old told me that she was going to draw a chalk picture of me. I think it's pretty accurate:

graduation

Cody graduated -- either Thursday or Friday. I don't really know which day was his offical graduation day because there were really long ceremonies both days.






So all of the people in this picture graduated. Cody is in there somewhere . . . he's probably one of those little white blobs on the fifth row. We got to stand up for forever while everyone marched in -- not such a great idea in heels, but fashion definitely comes before function around graduation time.
My mom came down for the Thursday extravaganza. It was so fun to see her when I wasn't stressed about school. The three of us (Cody, my mom & me) went to Tucano's for the post-round one graduation celebration, where I was brave and tried almost everything that they brought us. My mom was brave too, and probably ate more meat than she had in the past three months combined :)
Cody's family met up with us for the Friday celebration, during which we waited about an hour to hear Cody's name and watch him recieve a high-quality diploma cover. Its pretty rad. The after-party was at Magelby's. I hadn't ever been there before and really enjoyed myself, except for the killer headache I was battling. One of the highlights of the day (besides hearing Cody's name read) was going through the sweet drive-through at the Hinckley Building to drop off Cody's cap and gown. It was really posh.

hiccups

I have been hiccuping like crazy lately. I will just be minding my own business, then all of the sudden the hiccups start. It's ridiculous. If anybody has any suggestions about how to make them stop, PLEASE let me know. ***hiccup***

Celebration!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was my last day of classes for this semester, and I am SO SO SO glad it is over. Looking back, I'm not really sure how I made it through. I did though and that's what counts! On my way home I dropped by Pier One (which really is on my way home) and was surprised at the amazing things they had on clearance. Naturally, I bought some stuff to celebrate the end of the semester, as well as our tax refund being deposited :) Here is what I got:


I am pretty bummed that the picture of the star-things that are in the vase is blurry, but they are really sweet. The little beads that hold the stars on are somewhat sparkly -- not tacky sparkly though. And the little basket that has our utentsils in it matches our rug really well, not to mention the sweet purple hue of the darkest fiber. The glasses were 98 CENTS. Seriously, how could I pass that up?

yum . . . . babies . . . . homework

On Friday, Cody & I went to the grocery store at 10:15-ish on our way home from the Jazz game (which was absolutely phenomenal for the record). We were ready for dinner, but needed something as low-effort as possible. Lucky for us, I wandered by a display of Tontino's frozen pizzas. These pizza were a staple food in our house growing up -- we would always have them Sundays after church or for late night snacks on the weekends. But the thing was, my dad would always make these killer delicious salads to go with them -- so I thought the pizzas were good by association. Just to clarify things: the pizzas are NOT good without a dad salad to go with them. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way :)

In other news, I went to my sister-in-law's baby shower last night with Cody's mom and sisters. It was pretty fun . . . Cody woke me up at the crack of dawn (translation: 8:55) to see if I wanted to go get a gift before conference started. This is what we picked out:

We also got a little pair of olive khaki shorts to go with it. I discovered that shopping for baby clothes/toys/blankets/anything is really fun. And, our new little nephew will probably get sick of me getting things for him :)

After the shower we went to Coldstone -- always delish -- and watched Dan in Real Life. It was pretty good, except I couldn't really bring myself to laugh because I felt so sad for the main character the whole time!

The best news of the weekend is that my prospectus is finally finished (in a very very very rough form). Can I just tell you how excited I am to write a thesis? Sick!
