Long Distance

Tonight signals the start of probably the longest summer of my life. I had to say goodbye to Zac and watch him drive away to his internship in L.A. In almost 4 years of marriage, we have only been apart for 3 nights. I really don't know how I am going to do it this summer. I am afraid of the dark, I hate being alone and I am terrified of missing him too much.Yes, I am being a bit dramatic. I still get to see him every weekend, for which I am so happy for! I don't know how those women do it that say goodbye to their spouses for months. I couldn't do it. I get to see Zac on Friday and I am being such a baby about it. My goal this summer is to enjoy all of it. Even all of my alone time. It is going to be hard, but I know I can do it. I am trying to not dwell too much on the fact that I am also car-less this summer, which is something that hasn't happened to me since I turned 16. So, I think I will be getting to know my bike and public transportation a little better this summer as well. So this summer I will have two new friends! One, my bike/bus and two, my teddy bear who now has a somewhat permanent (until September excluding weekends) spot on my bed.

Sewing Love

Can I tell you how much I love sewing?! I love creating things from cute fabric. My friend is having a baby shower this weekend and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try out some of the cute projects I have been seeing on Pinterest. I decided to make her a few burp clothes and a portable changing station. I think they turned out pretty cute. What do you think?

Smarty Pants

Sorry, I have been MIA on updating my blog on recent happenings. There have been some new and some exciting changes. Zac will be interning in LA this summer with KPFF. Which is the same company that he interned with last summer. It is a great opportunity for him to learn a lot more about his field. He will be living with his grandpa during the week then he will drive back down on the weekends. Definitely not the ideal situation, but I just have to remember that this will all pay off when Zac gets his first job. :)
Also, along the same lines, Zac has been offered research!! Woohoo! He and the professor will be writing the proposal and they will find out if it gets funding mid-July. If it gets funded that means that Zac will graduate in March. If it doesn't get funded then he will graduate in December as originally planned. Either way, it is pretty awesome. Maybe it is because I am his wife, but I think he is super smart and I love him to death. Anyways, enough of that! Here a few pics of what we have been up to lately. 

Camping over memorial weekend. I actually used our dutch oven and made some great peach cobbler. 
This cutie came and visited! Elise, Eric and Porter came to visit and it was great to see them! We were so happy to see them. I miss living so close by. 

A while ago.....BYU Men's Volleyball came to town (or LA) for the NCAA Championship. We drove up to cheer them on and ran into Zac's cousins. We had to get a picture with the picture of Zac's uncle, Peter in the Pauley Pavilion at UCLA.
