Graduation

The Cedar High School boys track team won state this year! In Cedar, this means the fire trucks meet the boys at the top of Main Street when they get home (in this case, 11:00 PM), all the boys pile on the top of the truck (this time they all took their shirts off and whirled them around their heads), and the lights flash and sirens run all the way down to the high school! All along the way, there are parents and community members on the side of the road and other parents following behind the fire trucks honking their pants off! It's pretty much a schmorgasborde of noise, but it's a cute tradition! Fire fighting dad plus track runner brother equals dad driving one of the trucks and a very excited Bryan in shot gun honking the fire truck horn for the first time!



Bryce's Seminary Graduation was on May 18 and went really well (mostly because Bryce was a speaker - - the BEST one)!


And, on May 22, Brycie Boy graduated from high school! I was just so proud that I ran right down to the floor for a quick picture before the ceremony began. (Isn't he so big and handsome?)

Bryce walking through the "C" in all of his graduating glory! What a hoot!

Proud Bryan & Chandi with the stunning graduate!

After winning state track the Saturday before graduation, delivering a spectacular talk at Seminary Graduation the next day, and graduating high school on the 22nd, Bryce was a very happy boy!!

More Flowers & Success

I know I've said it a million times, but I have the best husband ever! He got me these darling flowers for Mother's Day with a cute, "I can't wait to see you as a mommy and you'll be the best one ever," comment! I love them! (No, we're not announcing anything.) They're like tiny, pink palm trees!
I took my Utah Property & Casualty Agent's Licensing Exam last Saturday and the week before was a smush full of studying, eating, studying, not cleaning anything, dreaming about insurance, studying, daydreaming about passing the test, running out of food and not grocery shopping, and studying some more. See the following picture to discover what we had for dinner most nights.

The following picture is what I looked like for most of the week. I know, I don't usually put this much effort into studying, but I DID NOT want to take the test more than once, so I suffered through.

Can you find the following things in the picture above?

One sleeve of Saltine crackers - I pretty much lived off of crackers and sprite all week long.
Homemade flash cards - I know, who really does that? Desperate times . . .
Exam Cram red book - I felt like I was in a high school class where you have a fake baby and you have to carry it with you everywhere you go for a certain amount of time.
My backpack - Who would have ever thought that I would really fill one of those things with school supplies?

The week was worth it because I PASSED!!! I took my 150 question test in 1.5 hours and got 82% (70% is passing)!!! Of course, Bryan was right there by me and met me at the door with a brand new congratulatory purse!! I will be taking congratulatory gifts from all for the next month.

Shout Out

I'd just like to give a shout out to my sweet husband! He's absolutely the best husband in the world! Last week, I came home to a sweet "old time scroll" (hand burnt by Bryan) and some beautiful Spring flowers!


Bryan also finished Spring semester 2008 (his first one at SUU) with flying colors! He took six classes and got A's in ALL of them! Way to go, babe!! [Note: In this comic, I would be the confused parent figure since I NEVER got straight A's in college. Bryan is a way better student than me - - by far.]

And finally, last week during a pretty big rain pour, Bryan and I were sitting inside watching TV and a huge grin appeared on his face as he said, "Chand, it's been a while since we've kissed in the rain," took me by the hand and led me outside in my bare feet, scooped me up into his arms and took me out in the rain to give me a big kiss and share lots of laughter! [Note: This is just a picture of us after I ran inside to get the camera to take a picture in the rain.]

I am so thankful to be married to Bryan! He is everything I ever dreamed my husband would be plus so, so, so much more! There is not one person in the world whom I would rather spend every waking second with! He is my best friend and my true love! I LOVE YOU, BRYAN!!
