Rob's Graduation!

Rob graduated from Utah State last Saturday. I am so proud of him. He graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business. (WARNING! Post may become too sappy for some bloggers! Continue reading at own risk!) Rob made a lot of sacrafices with his education so that I could do the dietetics program and I am sooo grateful that he did that for me. He switched to distance education classes in SLC when I had to complete my dietetic internship in SLC and Ogden. He continued with distance education classes when we moved to Orem for my job. He would work all day and then have to drive to either SLC or Nephi for 3-4 hour classes at night. I know how hard it was for him and am so proud that he was able to finish. Great work Rob!!!


Kaden was so good. He slept through the commencement in the morning and then took another nap during the College of Business ceremony as well. It boggles my mind that when he is napping at home and I sneeze he wakes up. But during the graduation people are clapping, shouting, and whistling and he slept sound as can be.

Here are some pics of the joyous event!



This is Kaden's Utah State outfit. We have had it since I was pregnant in anticipation of this event. It was sooo fun to have him get to wear it.

For the past month I have been telling Rob I didn't have him a graduation present. He was so surprised when I brought out a box with tickets to the Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies game in Denver. I am so tricky!
P.S. Well when I was up in Logan I decided to try out my design skills. I made a padded headboard with the help of Rob's parents. Thanks guys!

Congratulations to Rob! I bet he is so happy to be done! Cute pictures, I love Kaden's USU outfit, I keep thinking I need to go to the bookstore and get Spencer some Aggie apparel, I'll have to do it this summer when parking isn't crazy. You should post a picture of your headboard, I want to see what it looks like!
