5.10.2010

Class of 2010.

This weekend my man graduated with his Master's degree.
Might I add he did it with a 4.0 Cumulative!
Thanks to all 23 family members who drove long distances to support and congratulate him.

(P.S. The man in the background on the right is Jake's dad...Gordon Hinckley...just in case that means anything to you).

Our trip wouldn't have been complete without a ride on the Grand Canyon Train to Arizona's main attraction.



While bumpin' along a couple of bandits showed up outside our windows, pistols a blazin'!
And then...the train came to a stop...in the middle of no where...

Dirty Bart appeared.

Which made my 5 year old scream with terror and hide between grandparents.


But alas, we made it to the Grand Canyon. Alive.
Mother nature knows what she's doing out there.


(P.S. Thanks to Morgan for hosting me as a guest blogger last Friday on the Pepper Design Blog.

My sister-in-law also graduated with her Master's from NAU this past weekend. My whole family was up there, but we just couldn't make it with me being so pregnant and our other little one. Too bad...I could've run into you again:) What did he get his Master's in??
