BEST BROS FOREVER!!!
Niel, Looking extremely happy to be there!
Lora and Dave, a classic inside look at their outgoing personalities.
All the fam went to the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a great session.
The guys outside the temple...I'm shocked I got them to actually pose for a picture.
Our final goodbyes..for two whole years...sniff sniff!
We went home to Grace to help plant spuds. Here we are: the happy couple at our best, dirty and embracing our roots...this is after all where our love story all began....sniff sniff...:)
Axel and I went and rode the tractor with Eli. It was a good time. It actually put Axel right to sleep for most of it. He liked it though. Good times.
Oh yeah, P.S. Eli graduated BYU-Idaho with his bachelor's degree. I guess it doesn't seem real because he still hasn't gotten his diploma. Don't worry, we got an email saying he still needs two classes. What a bunch of bull. His advisor went to straighten things out and now we are just waiting...and waiting....and waiting....for the department to look at the case. Someday maybe we will actually get the piece of paper that represents years and years of tears, sweat, and lots of money...just one lousy piece of paper....
Yeah, so needless to say that diploma holder is empty...and yet Eli looks so happy to be there...and this is after 5 hours of speakers and prayers, and more speakers and prayers...good ole graduation times.
As you may be able to guess, it was our anniversary. Yep the big 3 years...so we're pretty much experts by now. :) This was my gift to Eli, since we were "rolling in the dough" yeah if you can't tell that is heart shaped sausage and eggs. I took the picture for your viewing pleasure..and cause I was kinda proud that it actually resembled a heart...(the writing is ketchup..I'm awesome I know)
