Graduation! (and a few other posts)

Woot hoot! We are done with school! Here is Emma celebrating for us. So since we endured a lot of school, you get to endure a lot of pictures celebrating our finale!
A quick update on us (first, you can check out this post and FOUR after this one. I know, I know, I'm behind)...
We are moving to Idaho next week to live with family. We are so sad to be leaving Utah and our friends here. We will miss all of you! BYU has been a great experience for us and we feel very blessed. Besides the tears of goodbyes, the bad news fairy has been hitting our family. Kevin's start date got moved back and our salary was dropped for the job in CA. So we will be living with family for the next 5 MONTHS!!!! So if I am not in the insane asylum, I will do my best at keeping up on this blog over the next few months. So before I get to grouchy thinking about moving and not having our own space....let's celebrate what feels like the end of a really long day, as Kevin puts it. Kev graduated with a Master's of Accountancy degree from BYU. Now my bragging rights...it is the number one accounting program in the nation. Way to go babe!At the actual graduation. What a fun day!Who hikes the Y on graduation day? That would be my husband! So I made him take his robe to take some cool pics.
Here we are in the Tanner building. This is where all of Kevin's classes were. We should have been paying rent here. :)

So what do you do when you graduate? You hitch-hike of course. We spent all our money on school...how do you afford a car after that? jk (we do really have a car)
Our cute graduate!
Our family. I think going through school with kids deserves extra kudos. It sure makes life harder. Good job Kevin for enduring to the end.
Love ya babe!
We went to dinner after graduation. The best part was Cami eating this ice cream cone. She pulls the funniest faces.

COngrats, Kevin! And to you too Jen. It's hard work for the both of you. Now you can spend more time together! ha! That's what we thought when Neil graduated. It is an awesome time, and at least most of the stress is alleviated. I'll call when I'm in ID, we'd love to see you.

Alice-Anne said...

Congratulations to both of you! I get emotional every time I see a graduation b/c I remember what it feels like to accomplish (or see your spouse) and overcome to get there. So happy for you! Good luck with your move to ID.

Congrats guys, that is so awesome! It is making me pretty excited for next year at this time when my husband will be done...but then we will probably be living with family for awhile as well, not that excited:( I love all your posts, your kids are so cute, and the hiking pictures are adorable...and a little scary looking, glad to know Kevin was holding on to them.

Way to go Kev! Props to both of you for enduring to the end. Hey, now that we'll be in the same state again maybe we can manage to see eachother! I would love to meet your beautiful girls. We wish you the best!
Love your guts!

Yay that must be the best feeling!! Congrats! You're family just keeps getting more adorable! :-) I'm sure those 5 months living with fam will go by fast... especially since most of them will be in the summer! Love you!
