Graduation, Turning 30, and Easter

Last weekend was one of the busiest weekends EVER. I will start with Friday. That was a great day. First we went to the Carl Bloch exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art. They have a wonderful exhibit of his paintings of Christ. It was humbling and uplifting at the same time. I encourage all of you to make it there!

Also that day Steve graduated from law school!!! I'll admit, I must have cried at least four times that day. I dare you to find a wife more proud. ;) Steve looked so handsome in his graduate student regalia! Law school was hard and stressful, and I know it was even more so for Steve. But the great thing about my husband is, he never complained. He really didn't complain about his load ever. That's just another thing that makes me proud of him! It was nice to have our family there to support Steve. Steve and I keep saying that it doesn't feel real yet. I have a feeling I am going to like being done with school!

The next event was Saturday, it was Steve's 30th Birthday! We had a little party with friends from the law school. Happy Birthday my dear. I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you.

Then we come to Easter Sunday. We spent the day with my mom, Steve's parents, and two of his siblings and their families. It was a wonderful day. I'd like to say that I got some ridiculously cute pictures of the kids in their Easter outfits, but that would be a lie. They were so wiggly! Steve kept telling me, "It is more real this way." Unfortunately all I got were "real" pictures. Tyler and Hannah of course loved the Easter egg hunt. Hannah caught on really quickly to the idea of finding a yummy treat then looking for the next one!

It is going to take me a few days to recover from the crazy busy weekend, but it was time well spent!

Diagnosis

Senioritis: a colloquial term used in the United States to describe the decreased motivation toward studies displayed by students (and I'll add their spouses) who are nearing the end of their graduate school careers.

The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.

Yeah, we've all got it bad. Well, mostly just me. Steve has remained pretty dedicated to his classes. He has been M.I.A. for over a week preparing for finals. In ten short days we will be cured. I keep telling myself that I have done two and a half years, I can last ten more days. I should clarify, I can last ten more days as long as I can take my kids to the park to get their energy out.

Steve, best of luck the next two weeks with your last four finals ever!
