Who's Child is She?

The Books Have Been Closed

It is officially over! I am a college grad. At times I thought it would never come but I made it. I just took my last final yesterday to finish my degree in Construction Managment from BYU. 4 years ago to the day I was released from my mission. I made it. It can be done. (Not to mention while living in Salt Lake the whole time. However, I did almost shed a tear as I left the UTA park-n-ride for the last time {:D )

As I look back I would not have traded it for the world. It was a priceless education and a time I will value for the rest of my life. My apprecation goes out to all those who helped make it possible, especially by beautiful wife, Lauri, who has stuck with me the whole way. Not to mention, allowing me to do homework even when there was a great deal to be had at the mall! ;) Lauri, I love you, and could not have done it with out you. Also, my dear parents, this would never had been possible with out you.

The only thing I ask myself now is... what's next? Real world here I come!!

Merry Christmas

He goes shopping with me, and only complains maybe 10% of the time. And if you know how much I love shopping, that is really saying something! He is always trying to make others feel good in some way. He's kind, loving, generous, funny, ambitious, understanding, and the list goes on and on! I love how we can be silly together. I don't think there is anybody as silly as we are. Last but not least, he makes me happy. He makes me laugh and smile, and I just love him so much!More than words, babe!

Now I tag Leslie, Maranda, and Heather.

Embarrassing moment

So, yesterday I went to lunch with my good friend Katie and her daughter Hailey. Lunch was great- sticky finger salad at Wingers(one of our favorites). We got done with lunch and headed out to our cars. Emma was playing with my car keys. So as I was buckling Emma in her car seat, I took the keys and threw them on the front seat. I finished buckling her in and shut the door. I went to get in the car, but I had a problem. The door was locked! Emma had pushed the lock button on my keys! I was locked out, and she was locked in! Nobody with a key to my car is less than an hour away. So, I call Katie and tell her my situation, and she told me to call 911. I was hoping there was another way, that I could somehow just call the cops or something. But apparently Katie has had experience with this kind of thing.(not with Hailey) So I call 911 and tell them my situation, and they ask a lot of questions, and get a lot of information. So I was expecting that a cop would come and unlock the door, no big deal. So when the cop car passed, I went out to flag them down, assuming they were looking for us. No sooner than this cop lady got out and started slim-jimming the door, another cop car came, and he started slim-jimming the other door. Soon another cop car was there, and then another(total of 4!). That's not all! Two seconds later the fire department showed up in their big red fire truck, sirens and all! So to make this long story longer, They got the door open in a matter of minutes, Emma was absolutely fine! In fact, she thought the whole thing was kind of funny! (as did Katie!) She kept laughing as I looked in the windows at her, and as the police officers talked to her once they got the door open.
She was probably in there a whole 10 minutes if that. Needless to say, I was a little embarrassed by the whole big production. But its nice to know that the cops act quickly in the case of a real emergency!
