Andrew's BYU Graduation

Andrew graduated on April 25th!! His graduation was the first of the day so we had to get there early. Luckily, Cam walked with Andrew so we wouldn't have to go to two graduations that day. The graduation was actually pretty nice until they started reading the names and then it took FOREVER! It also didn't help that Andrew & Cam were the last row of graduates. The one nice thing of being at the end was once they walked across the stage the graduation was over. After graduation, we headed out to take some pictures and then went to Kneaders for Brunch.

I had been secretly working with Andrew's mom on making a T-shirt quilt for Andrew out of all of his BYU shirts. It turned out even better than I imagined and I learned to have fun while sewing; unlike my high school sewing classes which terrified me. Andrew was in total shock and I was impressed that, for once in our marriage, I didn't spill the beans on a surprise for him. Normally, I just can't take it and I ALWAYS tell him.

Overall, it was such a fun day just celebrating Andrew and all of his hard work. I'm so proud of him and I know first hand all that he has gone through and worked through to get that degree. I'm so grateful for all that he does for our future and our family. I'm so lucky I'm married to such a smart, hardworking, and of course handsome man!

Even though our time at BYU has come to an end we will always be BYU Cougars and cheer for them no matter what. We're excited for another graduation which is just around the corner.... 1 year to be exact. This time instead of being surrounded by BYU Blue it will be NC State Red.  We now get to cheer for two teams!

Go Cougars & Go Wolfpack!

Dinner with the Thompsons

A few weeks ago we had the chance to go out to dinner with Andrew's mission president and his wife as well as our good friends the Irions. We have been trying to do this ever since we got married so we're glad we finally got around to it right before we head across the country. It was such a fun night of talking about their mission, life, and the gospel. We're so glad we have such good examples in our life!
