Here's Machu Picchu... oh and me too. (I lost the screw to my glasses, so I wasn't wearing all them all day)

One Eventful School Year
You know, I noticed an interesting phenomenon while reading Harry Potter last week. Every school year of Harry's ended in some type of catastrophe where he narrowly escapes with his life, then each school year starts off peacefully until the next climax a year later. You would think, at least any normal person would, that he would recognize a pattern....and then promptly move to Australia for the witness protection program.
Well, we can't all suffer from life-threatening catastrophes at the end of every school year, so I'll just give an update on my humdrum life. As a Senior at BYU I did what most people do: I graduated. The end.
Okay maybe not quite the end. I'm so excited to be finished. I'm actually surprised that I made it through all of my Chemical Engineering classes alive. I even managed a music minor on top of it all. Additionally, I got accepted to five different graduate schools and I just got back from a two week humanitarian trip in Peru. Now how cool is that?
The trip was a graduation present to myself. I'm so happy!

News update
Well, I just wanted to inform everybody that I ran a half-marathon and loved it! There's just something energizing about running with 1200 other people for 13 miles. By the way, I did finish it in 1 hour and 46 minutes and finished 198. Which is impressive, if I do say so myself. Although, it did take me about a week for my feet to recover, but I'm up and running again. Believe it or not, I think that I have been converted to running. Hmmm.... strange, I didn't think that would ever happen.
Second bit of exciting news, I am going to see 2 musicals in 2 weeks. The Lion King on Friday and then Wicked the next week. I'm EXCSTATICALLY, MOST ENERGETICALLY, SIMPLY SHAMELESSLY EXCITED about both. But I don't like to show it.
Finally, I got to spend Friday with my favorite nephews at the Treehouse museum in Ogden. I watched Zach "bicker, bicker, bicker" on stage, and Sam as he tried to use scissors to make a crown. I'll admit, I'm glad that I have a few more years before I'll be a parent. Sam kind of scared me while he was using the scissors. But his mom was totally ok. I guess uncles just don't have the same gusto as moms. Big surprise. =-)
