That's right, I'm graduatin' College

It's Official. After YEARS of not knowing why i'm in College and taking many classes that seemed worthless in the moment... I can say that it all amounted to something!

I am graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in Community Health Education.

Whenever I tell people about my degree, they always ask "What do you do what that degree"
in my mind I say "DUH, isn't the title self explanatory.." BUT.. that's rude... and I'm TIRED of explaining so just watch this youtube video.


A Day in the Life - Health Educator






I am so grateful for my parents that have always encouraged me to pursue my education.  I am also extremely grateful for my Hubby supporting me in this decision. I know that my self confidence has increased a TON and my knowledge in health is so fun! sorta weird i know, but i love it!

My mom is probably the most excited person out there. We took my graduation pictures for my invitations.  here's our favorites...






The Commencement is on April 26th at..... 8:00am! WHO CHOSE THAT TIME?!?! i don't expect anyone to come... expect for BRYAN. haha and my parents... and Winston.. that's all :)

BUT if you really do want to come it's at UVU's UCCU center. I'm sending out invitations soon!

Hooray for Graduation!!!!

  1. People are intelligent enough to understand what a Community Health Educator means. But when Tyler and I have at least asked you that. It is because we are asking what JOBS do you get as a Community Health Educator. Do you work at a community center? A rec center? At a school? People ask you that to try and get to know you. Your goals. What you love. What you want to do a in a few years, etc.

    So just smile and answer :)

    And I need to send you a graduation present. I already have it picked out and you are going to KISS ME.
