Graduation!

8.15.2011

This past Friday was awesome. Chad and I graduated! We got to walk together from his college. His sister came and walked with us too so his family wouldn't have to split up between the different ceremonies. Not only did we all graduate, but my brother Jess graduated too! In Texas, so I don't have any pictures of that :( But basically, a great day all around.


My face with about 5 extra pounds of... we'll call it water weight. That sounds better than donut weight.


The graduating class. All 27ish of us. It was a nice and short ceremony :)





Gma Jones and Gma Mc




An epic picture of Gma Mc that Chad took. I really like this one :) 




It was a nice day. Kind of surreal. It still doesn't really feel like we graduated. Not until I remember that I now have to say that I went to BYU instead of that I go to BYU. And you know, it's a little bittersweet. Not that I'm asking for more classes or homework. But still. I'm done with school. Weird. 

Other news: nothin' much on the baby front. He's still sittin' comfy. Although last night I had a really big contraction. It even made my back hurt. I got all excited and decided if another one like that came, I'd start timing them. But another one didn't come. Just the one big one. Sigh

Chad has a job for the next few months while we're here! Our neighbor Robert has been working with a landscaping crew for the last several months, but he's quitting for school in the fall. Anyway, he told Chad that his boss was going to hire a few more people at the end of August, gave Chad his boss' phone number, and now Chad has a job :) Yay! 

And I think that's about it... my little brother Alex is supposed to be sending some pictures from Hungary soon. He hasn't been able to email any because the computers there are so old that none of them have USB or SD ports for him to download and send pictures. But hopefully soon :)

Have a great day everybody!
