Just a hello

Hello All.
I don't have a special story or reason to post today, I just felt like doing it. Everything here in Auburn is going splendidly. It's been in the 80's all week, which, while a welcome change, is not a happy thought considering it's only April! This is our last week of classes, I have 2 to go plus one final and another paper. The end of the semester is within sight! After which I'll have a 2 week break and then I'm back in the saddle. the saddle of school. : )

Everything with Brian is great. We spent this past weekend up in Birmingham with my family. My dad's parents (and my only living grandparents) came down for a visit - as did L. Tom Perry! So we drove up Saturday, attended a fireside for YSA with Elder Perry, spent some time with the fam, and Sunday we got to sit with my family and his family at a stake conference with Elder Perry. It was pretty cool. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Congrats to Face and Steve on the move! Hope to hear from you all soon.
Love,
Dr. Nanny

Canyoneering!

This semester I decided to take my canyoneering class and we had our field trip a week ago. We went down to San Rafael swell and went through Ding and Dang, and Baptist Draw into upper Chute canyon. The weather for the trip was perfect and I got lots of good scrapes and bruises to show for it :). My favorite part of the trip was our 90 foot rap ell int Chute canyon. We also had a good time playing sardines in Goblin valley. Goblin valley is this area that is just rock with really cool rock formations to hide behind. Overall the trip was good fun and I'm hoping to go on at least one more canyoneering trip this summer. Here's some pictures from the trip.









In other news, Steve and I have decided where we're going! We'll be moving to State College, Pennsylvania. I'm excited about the move. We'll be 3-4 hours a way from big cities such as New Yourk , Philadelphia, and Washington DC. Sate College itself is really rural and right next to the Appalacian Trail so there will be plenty of backpacking in the area. I'll be studying Physics at Penn State and Steve is looking for jobs in the area. We haven't set a moving date, but we're thinking early to mid June.
Our most exciting news for this week is we finally graduate! We're super excited. That's all that's going on with me. Hope all of you are well. I miss you guys!

Grey's Anatomy

So I don't know if everyone has been keeping up to date with Grey's, but last week, Derek finally proposed to Meredith. Normally I wouldn't think too much of it, but the way he proposed was, I thought, hilarious. Here is the youtube link for it. Enjoy!

Grad School

Hi everyone, I thought I'd give a quick update on what I've been doing. The most important things is that I graduate in three weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited.
This winter I've been applying to grad schools and sitting around waiting to hear back. I'm planning to get a PhD in physics. So far I've been accepted to UC Riverside, Ohio State, and Penn State. I've gone to visit both Ohio and Penn. They're good programs, but I'm leaning towards Penn State. It has more options of people doing research that I'm interested in. The trick is finding a place where Steve can also get a job. We'll see how that goes.
That's about all the interesting stuff going on for me. Hope all of you are just fantastic.
