GRADUATION!!!!!

Yay!!! Graduation is finally here! Matt graduated on Saturday with his Bachelor's in Nursing. I'm so excited for him! We got him a shotgun for his graduation present. He was pretty excited. Now I can reclaim my .22! We will be moving this next Saturday. We'll be staying in Heber until August with Matt's parents and then we'll make the move to Stansbury and live with my family until the townhouse is done. Matt starts his job at the University of Utah, in the Neurology unit on Monday, the 12th. I can't believe we are already here, it seems like we've been planning for this day forever and now it's here. So, fun, and a little scary! We're really going to miss Cedar!

This is him warning off any future potential suitors :)

This is his best impression of the Thinker, it took a lot of practice to make it look like he was thinking. haha Just kidding!

These are all his Nursing buddies. The nursing class had 28 people and these are the 7 boys.

This is a picture of the boys with their kids. Can you tell they are all excited about graduating??

This is a picture of my niece and nephew, this is what they were doing during the graduation ceremony. :)

Here are some fun pictures on Saturday with his buddies.

Wow, congrats! Call me when you get to Stansbury! I have also been meaning to tell you that you should not give up on your writing aspirations because of one little comment in high school gym. Remember what I said to Jodi and Danielle when we were playing them for the number one doubles positions: "Can we just finish this game tomorrow--I mean, we'll still win. . ." I meant to say "we'll still finish." And, if that wasn't dumb enough, we ended up losing. And then you were volleying back and forth with Danielle and swinging your racquet around like a mad woman and you said, "I'm trying to fight off this stupid bee!" And I thought you were referring to Danielle. Hah Hah! Well, I don't know if you remember, but I'm sure getting a hoot out of it!
