DENVER: THE TOWN OF... RAIN!

To begin our 23 hour Iowa trek, we started by spending a few days in Denver, Colorado. We were excited to go to a Rockies baseball game the night we arrived, but we were disappointed to find out that the game had been RAINED OUT! This wasn't just wimpy Utah rain; instead, it kept on coming down. We also used our free time that night to go to the coolest aquarium ever! The next morning, we woke up to a couple of inches of snow on our car and had to dig our snow brush out which was buried in our back seat. The perfect way to begin a summer vacation! We were able to go to a Rockies game the following afternoon, and we also had a great time at the outlets. It was so much fun!

LOCKS OF LOVE = SHORT HAIR

Long hair...short hair, just like that! Karen once again donated her hair to locks of love (she did it back in high school and junior high as well). She looks fabulous doesn't she!

GRADUATION DAY IS FINALLY HERE!

I am now a proud college graduate of Utah State University! I don't think it's really sunk in that I don't have to register for anymore classes or lug my heavy backpack around campus ever again... It is bitter-sweet, but I'm glad to have a degree under my belt! I am so grateful to everyone who helped me complete college!

GRADUATION FLOWERS!

For graduation, my mom and dad sent me these beautiful flowers! Definitely a motivation for Finals Week... Thanks mom and dad!

SUSHI CELEBRATION!

In celebration of our last week of classes, we spoiled ourselves with all you can eat sushi. We don't understand how raw fish can be so scrumptious, but we sure love it!

PAINTING

For my final project in my painting class, I had to make a wood panel and paint a picture that was as tall as me! Naturally, I went to my carpenter of a father for his wood and tool expertise. My panel ended up being 4 feet by 5 1/2 feet, so it was quite the project! This is a landscape of my family's farm in Idaho, which is a place that we love.

WINTER IN MAY?

Today is May 6th, so naturally we had to have a blizzard... An inch and a half later, we are still happy to be Loganites. And by the way, it is currently a balmy 32 degrees outside. Long live winter!
