Oh The Places You'll Go...

graduation

Well it happened! Ty and Cass really did it! Tyler completed all of his coursework and credits to complete his BS in Digital Media and thus applied for graduation. The diploma has arrived and it is finally official! Cassidee, on the other hand, met with her advisor (which is really easy since she’s interning with him all summer) and he went thru the graduation application with her and the application was accepted! Her diploma with be coming around September (upon completion of the summer internship and math).

Ironman

We finally made it down to St. George to see what all the excitement was over this Ironman thing. It was amazing! Being able to go with Kevin helps a lot! We got to go out on a boat for the swim start  Then Ty went with Kevin in the VIP car to take pix and vid during the bike course, and we all made it back down tot he finish line for the winners!

Truly one of the coolest things I’ve witnessed-if you get a chance take part in an Ironman! You can watch, volunteer, and get caught up in the adrenaline!

Orlando

Staying true to our reputation, we opted out of doing the pomp and circumstance that goes with traditional graduation. In other words, we did not buy a cap or gown nor did we do the ceremonial ‘walk’. Instead, we got on a plane in Salt Lake at 6 AM Wednesday morning and landed at 1:30 PM in Orlando Florida! After 6 days of different theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Islands of Adventure, & Universal Studios), we figured we had adequately celebrated our end of college.

Tyler finished his training just before we headed out to Orlando. When we got back-he jumped right into building a website. According to Ty’s FaceBook status on May 20: “The best thing a boss could tell a web programmer, "The web site is yours, do whatever you want."- I love my job!” So needless to say, Ty and the new job are happy together.

Meanwhile, Cass started her summer internship upon the arrival home. She is interning at UVU with her academic adviser and the academic adviser training department. So far, so good.

Memorial Weekend

When we asked Grandma if she would teach us how to garden, we had no idea it came with a full yard make-over! But the yard needed it and we were all happy to help. Unfortunately we didn’t get any before/after pix, but we have a few of Ty in an apple tree and the robin's nest he found there.

We did plant a garden too! Grandpa showed us where he wanted it and gave us the plant and we planted a few tomatoes, peppers, and broccoli. We’ll check-in in a few weeks to see how we did.


Since the family was up to help with the yard, we also set up some appointment to look at houses. We’ll keep you posted on how the house hunting adventure goes-nothing as of yet, but the wheels are in motion.

“I´m doing great. We just came off of a good Sunday with a few "miracle" investigators who came to church without even being asked!

Yesterday, we had no less than 4 people try to feed us in just as many hours: an asado (Argentine barbeque, you don´t know what you´re missing), cookies and milk, a dozen donuts, and a final wave of empanadas and homemade bread. By the time we made it back to the apartment, we were both clutching our stomachs in agony, waiting for the pain to pass!

The Lord really has been good to us, and we´re happy to finish the transfer strong and pave the way for my next (last?) companion.

The members are getting really close to us. They do visits with us whenever we ask them to, and many of our investigators are there family members, up to the point where if we teach something without a member involved its almost like we´re failing...”
