This week has been one crazy and sleep deprived adventure. We have gone from one college grad to two! We have gone from one apartment to two! We have gone from one baby girl to… one sick and unhappy baby girl. ;) She went to the doctor and we found out she had a double ear infection and we got some amoxicillin to take care of it. She’s almost back to her happy self! I was able to go the Bennion banquet and was the runner up for an award that I applied and interviewed for. It was pretty sweet, something to do with academics and athletics and being cool like that.
Then at the end they announced 3 candidates for the athletic scholar award for the highest GPA among graduating athletes. I was very shocked to find out I was one of the 3 and that our finals would determine the winner. So I decided to study hard for my finals and they are all over now. SWEEET!!!!!!!!! I was also able to go to a pre-health accepted student’s lunch and get recognition for being accepted to a professional school. I felt pretty good about it.
The next day we got to walk through the arch at ISU “into the world” how fitting.
We got some good lunch there and I won a thermos for some pop quiz trivia about the history of ISU.
We went to an athletic graduate’s dinner that same night (lots of free food) and all the grads got nice blankets that have our name and sport embroidered on them as well as a letter (like the letterman jackets).
We had a bunch of family over including all my siblings and their significant others and little ones.
I love being able to see my family. They all came to my graduation and I really appreciated their support. I got to sit next to a buddy and roommate of mine (Cody Fowers) and finally graduate!! It feels good to finally have something accomplished that I’ve put so much time into. I think the next one will feel even better to be completely finished with college, but this was a giant step in the right direction.
We then had a little lunch after graduation and after that, my sister’s bridal shower. The next day we had a wonderful mother’s day, thank goodness for moms!
I feel like we just had a year’s worth of events in one week. My head is still reeling from it, yet we survived and ready for one awesome summer with plenty of play and family bonding before we embark on one of the greatest adventures yet… California and Optometry school at SCCO! It finally feels real now that we have a place down there. We got into the coveted apartment complex that we had decided was our number one choice, Las Palmas. It wasn’t without sacrifice and some dedicated long distance calling, but as of May 7th we have a beautiful apartment in Fullerton about a half mile from the school. It is everything we could ever hope for and will make living so far away from home a little more bearable. Everything working out so well is just another reminder to me that we are on the right track and our Father in Heaven is ever watchful and concerned with his children. I love life and am so blessed to have such a wonderful wife and daughter who I love and appreciate so much!!!
