It may seem like I am reverse-chronology displaying these, but there were some big things that some of you may have missed out on. These are (obviously) graduation pictures. I am 8 months pregnant and was soooooo excited to finally finish. It took just less than 6 years to complete my BS degree. Whew! You can see the the Y on the mountain in the background- BYU is the best!
My Major was Marriage, Family, and Human Development. I like to joke that it should be called "How to be a mommy." I had to take classes like Family Finances, Language Development, Cognitive Development, Infant Development, Parenting, Marriage Enhancement, and similar classes. I can't say that it properly prepared me for motherhood. I was never offered a class in "How to function on 2 hours of sleep," "What to do when 1 year-old kicks 1 month-old in the head," or "How to wash, fold, and put away 20 loads of laundry a week." In spite of this, I think I am managing just fine. I have found that the easiest fix-all is to load the kids in the stroller and walk. My neighbors can attest to this: we are always wandering around the neighborhood.
Those who came to commencement to hear Vice-President Cheny speak were Brad, Melissa, Troy, Timmy, Spencer (kinda) and me. Those who came to see my walk were: left to right Grandma Marilyn, Brad, Melissa, Troy, Me, Garrett, Jill, Richard, Kirby, Timmy and Shannon. We then had a big BBQ at our house to celebrate and lots of friends and family came. There are not pictures of everyone. Sorry!

Good pictures! It must be nice to be all done with school. What did you graduate in? My mom is here visiting, and she says "Congratulations, and what a good looking family." Way to go friend!
What fun pictures! Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!
