Rocked the Landscape Competition in A-Town

The week before finals I went to Atlanta, Georgia for a second time to compete in an international landscaping competition called Student Career Days. I know sort of weird, but yes BYU takes students to compete in landscape skills competitions throughout the year. This one is the largest and most competitive of them all. The competitions range from paver installation, irrigation assembly, landscape design, and plant/pest identifications.

Well I won 3rd place again in Interior Plant Identification and BYU won 2nd place overall! I feel like that I have been able to learn so much from these experiences and I am driving Stephen to get close to the same experiences in his program so he can be like me and get a job right out of college.

Here is a picture of our whole team with the second place plaque! I was the president of the Landscape Management Club this year so I got to receive the award for the team... Sort of exciting:)


Yeah BYU-Provo beat out BYU-Idaho, love it when that happens!

Graduation Salutation!

Well I am about to embark on the day that my parents decided I needed to participate in, a day that cost extra, and a day that will be GREAT!
I AM GRADUATING!




BYU Alumni NOW baby!

So I have job, even before graduating from college! My job is even in the field in which I studied throughout my years in college. Interior Plant Greenhouse Lead! I love plants and I love everything that have learned about them over the years!!! I will also get to help for the few weddings that are held on the grounds at this little upscale nursery!

Also Stephen and I are hoping to move sometime between now and June to a new apartment with more space... With more space come more of a desire to start a family.. But I want to work and enjoy my job before I have to ask for maternity leave or lots of time off! So don't be expecting us having kids anytime soon...:)

Great News! My mom's heart has been in normal rhythm for a while now, my little nephew is potty trained, and I decided not to give up on the floral business after all!
