Feeding the ducks is fun? Heck yes it is!!!

So I've had the privilege of hanging out with one of my bestest friends lately. We've been making up for lost time since she left me for a week and a half to go frolicking in Jamaica with her hubby! RUDE!! :)

Michaela and I have worked together, gone on a double date, done dinner and a movie, and even had a sleepover! (lol! Don't judge! Her husband was gone for the night!) It's been a ton of fun!

On Sunday Me, Michaela (MJ), and Jeremy (her hubby) all went to the Layton Park to feed the little ducklings. Little did I know it would turn into a whole night event filled with random pictures, merry-go-rounds, and ice cream! It was a lot of fun! Here are some of the wonderful pics from the infamous night.

(This is really a belated post! We did this at the end of May!)

Jeremy was clearly having a lot of fun!

Look how white I am!

MJ and Jeremy!

Ah... we really liked the blue rock! Lol!

Yep, we're friends!

Senior Pose!

Torn...

Are you ever torn between 2 things? And they are really important things. Not like which restaurant you should go to for dinner (although I can never decide that either), but something if you choose not to do, you can never get back. I am currently having that dilemma and it is so much worse because I can never make a decision for the life of me. I am terrible at it. I just want someone else to decide and that is that. Both things are important to me, so that's what is hard. I just don't know what to do... can't I just draw my decision out of a hat and go from there?

Wedding BBQ anyone?

Michael and Kelly are getting married! Yay! In case you didn't know, that is my step-brother... Mel's son. We had a pre-wedding open house for them on May 16th and had a pretty good turn out. Lots of family and friends showed up and showed their support, and there was also a ton of yummy food! Here are a bunch of pics from the fun filled day! I hope you enjoy them, I know I enjoyed taking them! Congrats Mike and Kelly. We love you! :)

Now Presenting the Class of 2009!!!

Commencement!

School is finally over and I am sooo happy! And with the end of the school year many wonderful things happen. First of all, no more classes or homework! Woot Woot! But, also we get recognized for our accomplishments!

At the end of April, I was inducted into the Communication Honors Society! Yay! I am apparently smart! :) I got a fancy certificate, I got to go to a cool ceremony type thing, and I get to wear fancy cords when I graduated! (Whenever that is!)

"Rachel Jenkins has been selected by faculty and fellow scholars for membership in Lambda Pi Eta, The National Communication Association Honors Society. Inducted in the society by the Upsilon Theta Chapter at Weber State University presented April 24, 2009."

I got to share it with my bro (who is already a member of the society), my dad, and some fellow Comm friends. It was fun!

Then a week later was... GRADUATION!!! Technically I graduated with my Associates Degree, but I didn't walk. I would have to wear a purple cap and gown and that didn't sound too fun! Ha ha! But I got a diploma so that is really all the matters! Oh, and my name is in the program of graduates, that was pretty cool!

Aside from me, there are others who graduated. With their Bachelors Degrees! Which I think is so much cooler then an Associates! :) Rachel Smith, Alexa Rudd, and my own big bro Zach Jenkins all graduated! It was so awesome!

The Grads!

The day started at 8 AM with Commencement. Then on to brunch at the Union Building, followed by Rachel and Alexa's Convocation at 12:30. At 2:30 PM was Zach's Convocation followed by a much needed meal at Olive Garden with the family. It was such a long day, but it was well worth it to see my friends and family celebrate their accomplishments!

Since I am bragging about them, I mine as well really brag about them! ha ha!

Ok to start off, my best friend, Rachel Smith, graduated with her degree in Human Performance Management, Wellness emphasis. And a minor in Nutrition. Not to mention Summa Cum Laude!! And was recognized by her department with an Outstanding Nutrition Minor award! Woot woot! I am so proud of her! She worked so hard and finally did it!

Rachel and Rachel!

One of my oldest friends, Alexa Rudd also graduated. She graduated with a degree in Early Childhood. She was recognized by her department with an Outstanding Early Childhood Major Award! Yay! Go Rex!

A very blurry Alexa!

And last, but certainly no where near least was my big bro ZACH JENKINS!!! He got his Bachelors of Arts Degree in Electronic Media, Entertainment emphasis. (which is my degree! ha ha!) He is pretty sure he graduated Magna Cum Laude, but he's not 100% sure! ha ha! But he for sure graduated with honors! And that is all that really matters! :)

Looking to the future...

Look how excited I am! THUMBS UP!

Congrats to them and to all the other graduates. It was a great day and I can't wait until I get to do it! I am so proud of them and I wish them all the best! I love you guys! :)
