Thanks Mom and Dad

The day of graduation we invited our parents to spend the morning with us at Thanksgiving Point's tulip festival.  The flowers were a little hammered from a recent hail storm. We were a little frazzled (okay so when I say we I mean I) with packing, graduation, arranging schedules, running on little to no sleep... and you know the whole closure thing with a major chapter of life.  

But still it was beautiful.

 

And being together was the most beautiful part of it all.

I am so glad we took this time to be with our parents because they deserve so much more time, gratitude, and love.  Thanks Moms and Dads for everything you do for us!  We love you!

Love, Your baby girl and boy

(Probably not how Tim would sign it, but it's the truth.)

FINAL Finals: the end of my undergrad

Final days of school went as follows:

Tuesday April 20-
   Spent time with Megs and Parker
   Went with Megan to get our hair done at Modifi
        (Love that place... miss trusting someone with my hair)
   Tim arrived earlier than expected, bearing gifts of cookies and milk...
          LOVE that boy!
   Gave my final presentation  
     (3+ hours on campus after Tim just got home... not cool)
   Went to dinner with Mark and Amanda at Spark  
         (good friends+good food= a combination that can't be beat). 
   Hoped to be done with finals... not the case (boo).
   Worked on a paper and studied until late.

Wednesday April 21-
  Woke up ridiculously early to study.
  Took my last test in the testing center! 
          (SO glad to walk out of there).
  Drove to Duchesne to collect more of our stuff  
     (Studied while we drove)
  Tim gathered things while I:
     finished an entire simulation (not fun or particularly easy)
     completed some quizzes (my fault for procrastinating)
   sent in my final paper at the last minute... literally.

I sat in disbelief as we drove home- I was done with college.
I felt such joy- WE WERE TOGETHER!

Dialogue and Dancing

I love being around my family

Listening to their thoughts

 

Watching them interact

Witnessing joy as Umpa and the little ones dance

I am blessed to simply know them and be in their company
