USU Freshman Connections Luminary Tradition

Aggie Freshman Luminary tradition

The freshmen class walked from the Spectrum Stadium to the Quad, following a band of bagpipers carrying white luminaries. Parents and Alumni lined the path with Blue luminaries. White lights on “Old Main” at USU signifies something great is about to happen. Blue lights signifies success/victory. The procession is reversed for the graduation ceremony. The tradition marks the beginning of college for Abz. It was really great to share this experience with her and her grandparents. Grandma Sandi is an Alumni of USU, she obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees from USU and has been instrumental in setting Abz up for success.

Go Aggies!!

First BIG Step

She did it! 

Abz has her Utah driver's license. It is the first big step to becoming an Utah resident- which comes with its alluring affordable tuition. I'd like to thank the home team (Andrus' family) who made multiple trips to our home to fetch important documents to make this possible. This is a major accomplishment as we finally escaped the chicken-or-egg problem of coming up with 2 pieces of Utah addressed mail when no one will open an account for you unless you have 2 pieces of Utah addressed mail.

This is what winning looks like:

Hiking with the Girls

I love being in the Mountains. It feeds my soul. It was particularly fun to spend time with some of my faves catching up. I hiked the Pipeline trail with Julie and the Dog Lake trail with Julie and Sarah, both up Little Cottonwood Canyon.
