Utah Business Mag

It's official! I am leaving the Transcript-Bulletin in just a few short weeks to become assistant editor for Utah Business Magazine.

I'm really going to miss my Transcript family and the people of Tooele County, but I am very excited for this new opportunity and adventure! When I first started working at the Transcript, I never thought I'd learn as much as I have in the last year and a half. I am so grateful for everything I've had the opportunity to do here...from scuba diving, to flying a plane, to meeting some of the most interesting people in the world. It's going to be tough to say goodbye, but I know it's going to be worth it to keep achieving the career goals I've set for myself.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for me in this new job. I'm sure it's going to be challenging, fun and rewarding at the same time. If you want to check out the Utah Business website, it's www.utahbusiness.com.

Kara's Wedding Weekend

Last weekend, my Aunt Kara and Uncle Sheldon finally tied the knot! We got to spend the whole weekend in St. George having fun with family and celebrating their marriage. John and I spent one afternoon hiking at Red Cliffs, which was a lot of fun because there were tons of super deep pools of water to play in, and some cool old trees and dinosaur tracks to check out.
 
Cutting the cake!
 
Getting ready to exchange rings and say "I do."

Red Cliffs!

The first pool of water. People cliff jump into this one because it's so deep.

John's Graduation!

John graduated with his bachelor's degree in finance on May 4. I couldn't be more proud! He is now starting on his master's program in healthcare administration, and will be graduating in two years. I know it's been a lot of hard work and will be a lot of hard work, but there's no doubt in my mind that John will achieve whatever he puts his mind to! Here are some pics from graduation day!

Can you tell he was excited?
