Graduation

Vance graduated with his bachelor's in mechanical engineering last week! He did very well this last year, including quite a bit of newspaper and even TV coverage for his capstone project. We are so excited that he has accomplished this major milestone and are now looking forward to going to Indiana soon!

THANKS MOM!

Below is a post at 18 weeks (poking out on purpose a bit to accentuate the bump) and 16 weeks at the bottom. Thank you to Janessa, for lending me some new clothes! We have our next appointment with the OBGYN on May 10th, and an ultrasound on May 11th. We would be so happy if our baby was a boy or girl, but mostly are hoping for a healthy and happy baby! Take the poll to guess if you think it is a boy or a girl. Oh, and we are having ONE baby. We had an ultrasound a couple of months ago and there appeared to be one baby. But I guess you never know!

Purdue University!

Vance and I will be moving this summer to West Lafayette, Indiana! Vance officially accepted the offer last week to Purdue University's Mechanical Engineering graduate program. We are excited for the many new changes this brings. Meanwhile, Vance will be completing his last day of class at BYU tomorrow! He has been working so hard, and hopefully finals for him will go smoothly.

Some good things have happened lately. Last weekend my sister, her son Jared, and I camped in Moab for a couple of days. We hiked the Arches National Park and really loved its beauty and warm weather.

Jared was a great boy the whole trip, but on the way back he had a hard time! We brought him along for entertainment. We stayed at a pretty good campsite. It wasn't as primitive as we were hoping, but it had a fire pit which was our top priority. We were able to make a fire, eat tin foil dinners, smores, roast Starburst candies, talk, and then try to sleep. It was actually a rough night, being soooo cold. There was frost covering the entire tent when we woke up. But we loved the experience.

Vance and I went to the Saturday afternoon session of general conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Above is a picture of Kelsey, my grandpa Kindt, and I. We attended his mission reunion in Salt Lake City that Easter weekend. There were lots of people in attendance.
