Jimmy says "goodbye BYU!"

We are proud of you
The stud himself!

The Family

The Graduates
I promised a summary of the graduation activities so here goes! We started the week going up to Murray and enjoying some time with the family. We ate, we played games and we did all the fun things one can do when there are no more finals and school is over. And let me tell you, Jimmy was in a good mood. Why shouldn't he be?! He was well on his way to graduation bliss.
Thursday was commencement. Jimmy and I showed up relativily early to save his family seats. The Marriot was packed. In fact they didn't leave enough room for all the graduates and had to do some shifting to get them all seated and ready to go. It was pretty quick even with a general authority speaker. Elder Christofferson gave a great talk and it was short and sweet. After commencement we went up to Murray for ribs and Grandma Marie's cooking goodness! We even played a game of Bang with friends and family. Ask Jimmy, it was a funny game.
Friday was convocation. Jimmy and I again found ourselves at the Marriot again. We found seats for the family and Jimmy went to get in line again. This ceremony was quite a bit longer and Jimmy's name was called towards the end, but it was worth it. We took some pictures and then headed to Murray this time for Cafe Rio. And yes, Cafe Rio is amazing, even though it is worth two or three meals. Yum!
And from then on we did a little more family visiting and came home Saturday night to start our summer! Since then I have worked everyday on campus, and Jimmy has done a lot of the housework while looking for jobs. He is such a good sport!
Yesterday we went up to Riverton to visit some family friends and today we went to the Provo temple. Now Jimmy is camping with scouts and I am home doing thesis corrections and writing a blog post. So, that's it...what more can I say, we lead an exciting life!
By the way, sorry about he formatting. I don't know what is going on!
