Pomp and Circumstance...

I think not...Danny and I graduated December 17th. After the huge event on the 16th, my parents made the comment, "Wow, that felt like General Conference". There was no traditional Pomp and Circumstance song, there was no clapping, there was no shouting or congratulating or encouraging us for the future. It was General Conference. The president of the Unversity, Brother Clark started off by explaining to everyone that there will be no clapping or shouting or congratulating. Elder Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve spoke, to be honest I quit listening. It was about how we will influence people everywhere we go. Ya I've been taught that since I was three so I tuned out. Our VP of the University, Brother Eyring, (President Eyring's son) spoke as well. That was a good talk. Still not so much encouragement as warning. I had a grand total of 3 friends who were graduating, Celina, Sarah, and of course Hubs.

I'm sure my parents and his parents have better pictures, but this is what I have to work with from our Ipod Touch. Sorry. However, we are DONE! For now. At least two more years are calling out for D, where you ask? NO CLUE! The world is at our hands.

INTRODUCING...

Gus, or Roper, or Gremlin, or any other name I feel like he should be. That's right, we got a puppy. He is 2 months old and we have had him for a week in a half.  I think I am in over my head. He is a true Gremlin after 5:00pm. It is kind of scary. He prefers flesh to bones, and long hair over anything. He has learned he can escape through our fence because he is small enough to fit through the holes, he eats the bottom of our box springs, sleeps on the bathroom floor by the toilet, and has learned that Danny and I are suckers and if he cries and whines we don't put him in the kennel. He also thinks our living room and kitchen are where he goes to the bathroom inside, and has learned how to knock over trash cans. I think we have our hands full. Positive note, he held his bladder for 7 hours last night!!! Accomplishment? I think yes! He likes to chase and harass the cows and try to sneak in with the pigs...who in fact would have no problem eating him right up. Here is to the next 15 years! Wish us luck!
