Graduation

Ryan is offically a college graduate! This week he graduated from BYU with his Bachelors in Civil Engineering. He has worked so hard, and I am unbelievably proud of him. He is now working at a wonderful engineering company in Provo and is getting a lot of good experience. We aren't quite done with BYU though. This smarty pants is continuing on to get his Masters, and has already made some headway on it. He has been taking a few Masters classes, and has done a lot of work on his big project already. They will be doing testing on it in a few weeks, then he will be writing up the results all summer. Next year at this time, he will be done with his Masters. He is such a hard worker, and I am one lucky girl! Congratulations Ryan!!

This is his "Big Beam" project for his bachelors

A Little Piece of Heaven...

Last night I experienced a little piece of heaven at the Michael Buble concert. It was amazing!! I don't think I stopped smiling the whole night. It was complete chaos getting there though. First of all, it was snowing which didn't help matters. And secondly, there were so many people! There was a huge back up waiting to get off the exit at the E-center. We waited for well over an hour just to get off the interstate! They were running out of parking, and there weren't many people directing traffic. It was crazy! The concert started at 8, and I was unbelievably grumpy because we didn't end up walking into the building until around 9. Lucky for us, that is just when the opening act ended! We had so much fun though. He is an amazing singer- my favorite obviously. And he was also really funny. He kept it up beat and lots of fun. At first he was only singing songs from his new CD (which are good), but when he sang "Everything", I about jumped out of my pants. That is my favorite song! If you asked Ryan or I we would have to say that is "our song". Cheesy I know, but...wow! It was wonderful! His band was also very good. He was so humble and just an easy going guy. I could go on forever! Anyway, you get the point. I had an amazing night at the Michael Buble concert!

This picture shows you exactly how excited I was- kind of embarrassing!

Another Birthday Weekend

The 28th was Ryan's "real" birthday, so of course we had to celebrate again. This time we went out on Saturday with our friends Megan and Austin. We went through a session at the Draper temple. It is such a beautiful temple, especially on the inside. The murals are amazing! We then went out to eat at Chilis in West Valley- and just for the record I would not recommend going there! It was horrible! There were food mix-ups, lots of waiting, and our waiter forgot quite a few things. The manager tried to make it up to us, and it was sure a valiant effort on his part. It appeared that he was having to visit quite a few tables to play damage control. They were definitely having an off night. But after that, the night started to look up. We then walked over to the E-center to watch some Grizzlies hockey. It was lots of fun! I was glad Austin and Megan were there to explain some of the rules that I have never understood. Overall, it was a fun little outing. The next day, I attempted to make Ryan a birthday cake and we just had a nice Sunday all to ourselves! Happy Birthday Ryan!Also, I just have to add this in here because I am so proud! Well, mainly just in shock that I was able to do something this crafty. My friend Lindsay hosted a class through Poppyseed projects and we made these big(26 x 32) temple pictures. They were really cheap and lots of fun!
