Master Luke

 At the begining of May Luke graduated from USU with his Master's Degree in Instructional Technology! He worked very hard for it and we are so proud of him! We are all so glad it is done! We drove up to Logan thinking it would be a quick commencement like mine had been 4 years earlier but we were very wrong! They started late and had tons of students, it lasted forever! Luke describes it as the most boring day of his life, but at least we have pictures (:

Here he is getting "hooded" .

Walking up to get his name read.

 

 With his "diploma".

By the time is was done no one was really in the mood for pictures, but we tried anyway.

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to support Luke and taking us out to the Bluebird after.

We also had to at least drive by the little green and white house where I spent the hardest summer of my life! The second summer into my Master's program, when Gabrie was just 2 1/2 months old we rented the top floor of this house, and my wonderful mother moved up with me and took care of Gabrie while I went to class from 8-6 each day and studied until midnight each night. Then I would stay up with Gabrie until all hours of the night and some how make it through the next day with maybe 4 hours of sleep. Luke would drive up when he didn't have class at BYU. I started that summer pretty sure I was just gonna quit school because I didn't see how it would be possible, but I was truly blessed to make it through. Thinking back I still don't know how it was possible,  I tell people it must have been Divine Intervention because there is no way I did that by myself. But we look at this little house with such fondness remembering how Gabrie turned over for the first time there, Luke caught bugs for his entimoloy class there, Gabrie would love to sit on the porch and watch the cars go by and we confirmed the fact that my mom is the closest thing to an angel that there is!
