graduation and more

The last week has been crazy! Prepare for TONS of pictures. Last Friday morning, we went to the dedication of the BYUI Center, and the rededication of the MC. We were so excited to go and to be in the building. Too bad we missed the whole thing (thanks Colby). He was either super cute and wouldn't stop talking so we had to take him out, or he was fussy. Oh well, it was still amazing to be there.

Right after graduation, Andrew and I hurried back to our almost empty apartment so finish cleaning it out. Not gonna lie, i shed some tears as we drove away knowing it was the last time i'll ever see our place. We had a great apartment, amazing neighbors, and a fantastic ward. I couldn't ask for more and we lived there for so long, it was definitely hard to leave.

our empty place:

We missed the commencement Saturday morning and took that opportunity to head home early. We were making great time considering the massive amounts of snow falling everywhere. The Blues were pretty intense, and we make it to La Grande before they closed the freeway. We thought it was going to be for a couple hours, but then we read that there were numerous cars sliding off the road and finally made the decision that we should make it over the rest of the Blues in the morning, so we got a motel. Definitely a good decision. BUT we made it home Sunday a half hour before church and were able to go in time for the christmas program.

With that being said...IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME! We got a tree Monday! I got a picture of the tree when it was finished, but i have to take a picture with the flash on or else it's crazy blurry and the flash doesn't give the tree justice, so i didn't put it up. we didn't realize until we turned the lights on that we have a very patriotic tree (red, white, and blue).
