Graduation

The day that felt like it would never come.  When Zack finally decided on a major and enrolled in the Construction Management  program at Weber State University he had already completed his generals and then some.  Talking to one of the professors over the department, Zack and I speculated that he would be done in 2 years based on what he had already completed.  The man laughed out loud.  He said that even though it's considered a "4 year degree" nobody finishes in 4 years.

It took Zack 3 years of full time school, including summer semesters.  Most of that time he was working 50 hours a week and going to school in the evenings.  His weekends were spent doing homework, and somehow he managed to squeeze in a little family time and church service.  Many days he left before kids woke up and came home after they were in bed.  That was tough on us both, and Berkley.

After what seemed like ages, the day finally came!  Zack graduated (with honors) from Weber State with a bachelor's degree in Construction Management on December 14th, 2012 and we couldn't be happier about it.

The week before the big graduation, the Construction Management department had a nice dinner and presented everyone with special hardhats to wear to the ceremony instead of the normal graduation cap.

It's a good thing these girls had grandparents there to help entertain.

The ceremony got too long for the girls to handle so we snuck out early, posed for a couple quick pictures in the drizzling rain, and took off to a celebratory dinner.

2011= The Year of the Graduates

We had several family members graduate in the past couple of months.  First was Zack's Dad, Drew.  He graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelor's in Computer Science. 
Then my sister Misty graduated from the nursing program at Weber State University. 
And we went to Tepanyaki to celebrate.
About a month later, Zack's baby brother Carson graduated from Weber High School.
And my baby sister Merrisa graduated from Bountiful High School.
We love all of our scholastic family members and we're proud of all their hard work!  Congratulations you guys!
