AND THEN...he was a COLLEGE GRAD!


The announcements were sent...
and were MORE expensive than our wedding announcements I might add!!

and THEN...

HE DID IT!
At age 24, my wonderful, hard working husband graduated from
Brigham Young University-Idaho
with his Construction Management Bachelors Degree.



This was the LARGEST BYU-I graduating winter class in the history of the school.
1568 graduates in all.
The talks were absolutely wonderful.
President Clark talked to the grads and gave them so wonderful advice.
STAND FAST
STAND UP
STAND TOGETHER
another speaker {I don't remember his name}
gave 3 things that everyone needs to be careful with and avoid.
PRIDE
EXCESSIVE DEBT
ADVANCEMENT IN MODERN TECHNOLOGY:
we must use it for good and not let it take over our lives.



Reagan did great during the talks and speeches, as long as she had her I-pad.



Jeff walked with little Reagan.
He was one proud daddy!





My family:
Mom, dad and little brother Caleb.


His family:
Mom, Dad, older sister Marci, younger brother Jared.




After the graduation we went back to the house and had a lunch with the family.
Wanna learn how to make {Tissue paper Pom Poms}?
TUTORIAL coming soon

Thanks sista sista's for helping out with the food.
It was also delicious.



Thanks again to ALL of the family members that came to support Jeff!!
Thanks to the Sabin's for driving 10+ hours to be here.
WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!



Jeff was showered with grad gifts.
His parents got him a Router, complete with bits and all!



We also got our parents a little somthing.

They have been so supportive of Jeff's education.



Now for my gift!
I don't even want to admit it...
I still can't believe I got it for him...

He has been working so hard throughout our whole marriage...
I thought he deserved it.

MAN, I'm a good wife.
Between this and {THAT} I think I earned the best wife award.
NO, I am not trying to suck up so I can get hair extensions and some new clothes...
wink, wink!


Yeah, he was extremely surprised and happy.


Reagan was soaking up the love from everyone in the room.
I think she was held for 4 days straight.


No wonder she was such a little pill for me yesterday!


What happens when Jared and Jesse have nothing to do?
The competitions begin.



The gum balls were hard anyways so I wasn't going to keep them...
"Let's see how many we can stuff in our mouths!!!"
GROSS!


I think that was like 20 something...
That is one big mouth.

After the celebration was over we took to the Kinect for some much needed dancing.

I am not a fan of gaming systems but man this XBOX Kinect thing is RAD!!
Especially if I get to see my husband move like this!


OH Jeff...I am so proud of you.



HOLLA!!!


You are wonderful, handsome, loving, kind, charitable, compassionate, hard working and a GREAT husband and father.
You are the milk to my cereal, the bread to my butta', the mascara to my eyelashes, the stilettos to my outfit...UHHHH
You get the idea!

I LOVE YOU BABY.
HERE'S TO THE NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES.
WE'RE BIG, BAD ADULTS NOW.
WORLD...YOU BETTER WATCH OUT!!


Consider taking an "ONLINE CLASS"!!!
Remember that although my husband went to a traditional college there is always the option to receive your education through online classes...which is great for ALL of us stay-at-home moms!



XOXO
