The Graduate

In July Ty finished his last semester of school and graduated from BYU-Idaho! We were both so excited about it. We have so many memories in Rexburg; we met there, started dating, got engaged, and spent 2 1/2 years of our marriage there. It will always have a special place in our heart, but we were both ready to be done with the college town and move on to "real life!"

I am so proud of Ty and everything he has accomplished. I'm glad that he decided to change his major and go after a job that he knew he would enjoy. I'm grateful for his willingness to work hard to provide for our family.

this is Ty studying hard for one of his last finals ever!

So, in the spirit of full disclosure, I will tell you that Ty didn't actually attend graduation. We actually left Rexburg before the semester officially ended! Don't worry, Ty got all of his assignments/projects/tests done before we left. We left early so we could make it to a family reunion, which was awesome and I'm sure Ty enjoyed that a lot more than he would've enjoyed sitting at graduation for hours. I wanted to have some documentation of the fact that he graduated (other than the diploma) for our posterity, so we snapped some photos before we left. He may or may not be wearing my cap and gown...

And so an amazing chapter of our life came to a close. We're so grateful for the experience we had in Rexburg, and will always treasure the memories and friends we made there. And now it's time to start a new chapter in a new place. Bring it on!
