Texas......

In one week we will be on our way to one of my favorite places.

We will be spending time with family and just soaking in the warmth.

We will be enjoying delicious whataburgers and fantastic BBQ.

It will be a great 2 week break from work. I am so excited I can't wait.

Also this coming week I will be wrapping up my first year of teaching. I am so excited to not be considered a first year teacher any more. I have learned so much this year and am looking forward to everything I will be learning next year.

What a great time of year it is and I can't wait to see what the rest of summer will bring us!

Graduation!

Yesterday Jared graduated from USU with an English B.S. with an emphasis in Technical and Professional Writing. I am so proud of him! He worked extremely hard and has learned many great skills. We had a wonderful day spent with family. My parents and brother along with his family were able to attend. Jared's parents and siblings were also able to attend. It was nice having them all there to congratulate Jared on this great accomplishment!

Receiving his diploma...of course the one picture I get of this turned out blurry. Such is life I guess.

I am so proud of him!

Jared will continue working at the Space Weather Center on campus as a full time employee. This will be a great opportunity for him to gain experience and get his name out there! Thank you to all of our family and friends who supported us through the years.
