masters of public administration

i got in!

Most of you probably didn't even know I was applying for grad school. You know how it goes.. the more people you tell that you're even applying, the more you have to share the rejection with should that be the case. that's hard on the ego. But luckily that's not the case! I'll be starting the MPA program at BYU come August 30. I got word today that something called "math camp" is the week before. ay ay ay.

Grad school is something I've always wanted to do, even though I haven't necessarily known what program I wanted to do. But for the past two years I've had my eye set on an MPA. At this point I've narrowed my emphasis down to either non-profit or human resources. Needless to say, I'm very excited~

The 3030 decided to host a St. Patrick's Day dinner this year. It included all things green: green enchiladas, green mexican rice, chips and guac, green punch, green cake and icecream. It was quite the delicious and festive meal.

Eddie and I went to ballroom dance class this week with some couple friends. hahaha i laugh thinking about it, which is incidentally what i did the entire class as well. It was funny trying to be so proper. At first we were a little shaky but as the class went on we turned out to be awesome on the dance floor. I'm kinda craving class numero dos.

virginia girls

i grew up with a pretty awesome group of girls in virginia. and this is the first year we've all been in utah together. jenny and i came out in 2004 for college- utah state for her and byu for me. then the next year sarah came out to utah state. and this year laura finally joined us in utah for law school at byu. we finally got together last weekend for a night in park city. and we brought some men with us. it was a good time of course, our history runs deep!
