We welcomed the new year by riding the Front Runner to Salt Lake City and celebrated at Port O' Call.
A few days into the new year, we went to Las Vegas for the weekend before I started school again. Spring 2009 semester was my second semester of nursing school at the University of Utah.
While in Las Vegas, we stayed at the New York New York Hotel. We had a great time shopping, dining out and walking on the strip.
On April 11, we celebrated Spencer's 24 birthday! His birthday was the day before Easter so his family had an easter egg hunt.
I was able to see my FAVORITE singer Britney Spears with some of the girls from my class, Kylee and Tiffany! We made pink Britney Spears shirts and ate at the Spaghetti factory before the show. The show was awesome! The opening act was the Pussycat Dolls.
Kylee, Tiffany and I wore our Britney shirts to class the following week, so we had to get some pictures! In this picture: Paige, me, Tiffany and Allyson
Just after the semester ended, we went to the No Doubt concert with the Jones'. It was a great concert! I've been a huge No Doubt fan for years, it was fun to be able to finally see them in concert!
On June 6 (my birthday) we set sail on a cruise to Costa Rica, panama and Belize. It was an 8 day cruise, we went with Tyler and Lindsay Jones and Trevor and Jenny Hirst.
Spencer proposed at dinner on the first night of the cruise!!! It was a great beginning to our 'engagement cruise'!
Showing off my new ring!
We were able to see the Panama Canal while in Panama. 
It was sooo nice to be able to just lay out in the sun all day. Yes Spencer is wearing a speedo ;)
Right after we got home from our cruise we went to Lake Powell for a week. I had never been there, so I was really looking forward to the trip!
We had a great time laying out, kayaking, tubing, etc.
We also did some painting around the house, I think the dining room turned out great!
We also took the dogs up to Spencer's parent's cabin at Bear Lake a few times. Presley didn't love the water right away, but she got the hang of it and really enjoyed herself. :)
We took the 4- wheelers out a few times, so much fun!
My bestie Jamie got married in August right before my fall semester started!
Me and the beautiful bride!
In October, I was able to get away from my studies for a few hours and was able to carve pumpkins with our friends.
After the hardest semester of my college career ended (also known as third semester), me and some of my classmates celebrated by going to a couple bars/clubs in Salt Lake City.

We ended the year by celebrating the Holidays with our families.
On January 11 I will be starting my fourth semester of Nursing school and my final semester of college!! It is going to be a tough one, I will be interning at Mckay Dee hospital on the post partum unit. I am so excited to be at Mckay Dee, hopefully they will hire me once I graduate ;) I graduate in early May and next up... our wedding! We are getting married on June 26, at the Ogden Union Station! The wedding is pretty much all planned already, we are just finishing up the details and we are still looking over honeymoon locations :)
