Graduation!

This past weekend Joe graduated!!! I am very proud of him for finishing his Bachelors, and next step ... Masters. Here are a few pictures from our graduation days:
Joe in the car looking awfully excited! It snowed about six inches that day, and was a blizzard when we headed up to campus. They had two of the main roads closed and cars were getting stuck! The day was, as President Albrecht said, memorable and miserable!

The spectrum full of students. (enlarge picture to see where Joe is)

Joe walking up to meet me, and I snapped a picture at the perfect moment!

This is the group that I survived my undergraduate experience with. Our department is very small; most of us had every single class together. We shared good times together, blew up things (mostly me), and laughed a lot.

The weather was perfect for my graduation day! Here is me in front of Old Main.

This is one of my favorite professors, Dr. Hubbard, who liked to perform cool demonstrations and was a really entertaining professor. He calls Joe "the accountant".

Blue & Red

So before the big BYU vs U of U game, Joe got to enjoy a nice Turkey Bowl. He had a lot of fun, and received a nice 'trophy' on the side of his face. Fingernails really can do a lot of damage!


As soon as we moved into our new place, Joe had this idea of outlining a football field in our nice green shag carpet. We tried to vacuum our carpet so it would have the dark/light lines but it you couldn't see it very well.



I'm really glad Joe remembered to take pictures, because I was very into the game and forgot about everything except football. Food wasn't even a temptation!

We are very grateful to everyone who came over! We all had pre-game predictions and I was one of two who had BYU winning. So sad, but I guess they were right. The game was really fun, and the U of U just played fantastic. Max Hall...well, I won't go any farther.

Confession of a college graduate

Last week Joe was mentioning how stressed he was with all the homework and studying he had to do over the next couple of weeks, so I volunteered to help. I assumed this would be turning off the TV, or quizzing him. Nope. He asked if I could help him write his paper. I said sure. So I come home on Friday from work, look at the syllabus so I know what the paper is about, and next thing I know I started writing his paper! It's true! I had to call my sister because I could remember MLA citation rules. It's only been a few months, but I feel like I can't remember much of what I was taught. Anyway, back to the paper, Joe comes home and I had to show him what I did. He was really grateful. We talked about the paper, and we wrote some of it together. It was stressful, but I actually enjoyed it. I have to admit that I miss homework! I miss learning. I miss seeing people. I don't miss the cold wind blowing, and I won't miss finals, but I have to confess that I miss school.

So, who is excited for the big game this weekend? I am!! Go Cougars!
