Graduation


It's finally here...GRADUATION!  It seems like just yesterday I was looking at how long we have left thinking, we're never going to finish!  Our whole life together we've been "poor college students" and now we're thrown out into the "real world" :)  It's some-what surreal (and nerve racking).

Both our schools we attended (Carson- BYU and I- Weber State) happened to have our graduation on the same day! AND pretty much the same time!  There was NO WAY we were going to attend Carson's graduation in Provo then drive ALL the way up to Ogden for mine.  I just figured since Carson was graduating with his Masters then of course we would just attend his (I really didn't care all that much to walk and especially to go through the hassle of having to haul up to Ogden for it).  But we are grateful for a friend who happened to mention that she thought BYU allowed others to walk there with special permission.  So we definitely looked into it and it was TRUE!  All we had to do was fill out a survey and that was it!  I was able to borrow a blue cap and gown from a friend and was able to walk right after Carson in his Convocation this last Friday morning.  It was neat to celebrate that special day right by the side of the one I love most.

So what now?  Well, as I mentioned before here Carson was offered a full-time position for Anglepoint in Provo.  He has been working there since January part time and has really liked it so he accepted the full-time offer.  So now we're making the big bucks ;)  As for me, I'm loving being able to be a stay-at-home mom!  I also work PRN (as needed) at the hospital here and there which is nice to be able to keep up on my skills.  I guess I am actually not completely finished (boo).  I still have to take my Radiology Boards and am studying every chance I get (when James naps) so I can pass them.  I have it scheduled so it's crunch time!

It is so weird when we realize we have no more homework....EVER!  :)  (unless I decide to go back for more....but we're not thinking about that too much right now haha It's time for a break)
