Graduation at Last

After 2 years of Tuesday nights, 1 month of intense summer-school, and a year full of internet classes, Annie finally has completed her Masters in Education at SUU. Annie is happy knowing that she will never have to take a college class again and I am happy that Annie can never use the excuse that she has to study or write a paper - ever again. The ironic thing about her graduation is that this was actually the first time that she ever stepped foot on the actual SUU campus. All of it was done up in Spanish Fork or via the internet.
The actual graduation ceremony was nice - the 5 min that I actually watched. Callin had a hard time holding still as you might imagine. About 5 seconds before the orchestra began their piece, Callin fell on the seats in front of him and let a loud cry that echoed throughout the rest of the arena. That is when he was banished. So while Annie had to sit through a rather long graduation ceremony, I got to play with Cal outside on the grass. Not so bad after all.

Is Annie shrinking or is the gown just too big?

Someday Cal...Someday

Picture perfect afternoon!


After a big traffic delay in Phoenix, we finally arrived in St. George at 2 am only to get up 3 and half hours later to get to Cedar City in time. Needless to say, there was no shower time for me - Can you tell?
