Life in Transition

Well, I'm writing this on the eve of our one year anniversary. This first year has been a year in transition. Our nomadic lifestyle can be stressful, but to end the year we passed a huge mile stone in Kristi's life. She is a College Grad! I am so proud of this beautiful intelligent woman. She is kind and considerate to everyone; she's a diligent student and a patient wife. Unfortunately, BYU doesn't have a winter graduation ceremony, so Kristi didn't get the opportunity to walk across a stage and receive the credit and honor she deserves.

Luckily her family jumped in to fill the void and help us really digest this accomplishment. Kristi's dad put together a large dinner at Brick Oven with many of Kristi's extended family.







After the meal, Kristi's Dad and sister's slammed us with a surprise graduation ceremony just for Kristi! I recorded the speak they made her give on the spot, but the get up was the best.

    I hope I said it before you left, but CONGRATULATIONS KRISTI!!!
    You totally deserve that wonderful party, you worked really hard and i'm glad you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. And the speech was so nice (yeah, I got teary eyed too just listening). Glad things are going good down in AZ and hope you have the best time ^_^
