Well everyone, we've had a very busy week and a half - my parents were here from Tuesday to Sunday while David's were from Wednesday to Monday. So much food.... I don't know if my clothes fit anymore.
So first off, we got lots of cards with money in them. Here's David opening the one from my parents. Excuse the date on the bottom, Dad's camera has that setting.
Then we went to Tucanos for lunch on the 22nd. It was supposedly Nichelle's due date but young Tennyson decided he wanted to not make his grand entrance. So, he should be arriving today at some point.
Beyond Tucanos, there was the big event of the weekend - Graduation! We had to get up ridiculously early for the ceremony (it started at 8, we needed to be there at 7:15 and I got us up at 6:30 after little to no sleep). Did I mention that the Humanities ceremony was at 11? But I went to Life Sciences to walk with David since he is the one who actually graduated. I will be too, I mean once I finish those last 2 chapters and defend the thesis. I swear, I'm working on it! But yes, the parents had to get lots of pictures:
HAHA fools! They gave me... the nice pretty white diploma holder. Dang it. Thought I could sneak out of BYU. Actually, they mail the real thing because finals ended the DAY BEFORE graduation and the grades were not in. So, in theory someone could walk and then discover that they have failed a class and didn't actually graduate. I love how large schools don't make sense!
He covered up part of his name. The MMBio department is very proud of its graduates though!
Naturally there was lots of pictures taken - My feet started to hurt after a while. But my robe was a rental so they had to snap them before we left the building or else they were out of luck!
We enjoyed having our folks in town (thanks for all the great food!). We went mini-golfing: I think I lost but I had some great shots. But we're pretty sure the rock at one of the holes won. It blocked everyone! For my birthday we went up to Temple Square for the day. It was breathtakingly beautiful: sunny, warm, slight breeze. The grounds looked amazing! But I must get back to work on my thesis. I leave you with our mini-golf pictures:
