Recent Happenings

We’ve been pretty busy for the past month and a lot has happened. Mckay finished his classes and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.

He has worked very hard and I am so proud of him for finishing 2 degrees in 4 years. The next step in his education: 5 years at Purdue University for a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. But that won’t start until August. In the meantime, we packed up and moved out of our little Provo apartment that we lived in for almost 2 years. Then for 2 weeks we lived as nomads, wandering from place to place. We went to St. Louis for my sister’s wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding and we had fun with the whole family together again.

We got to see a few of the St. Louis sites and go to a Cardinals baseball game. On the way to and from St. Louis, we stopped in Denver to visit our Easton family. We feel really lucky to have so many wonderful family members and to have seen a lot of them recently. While in Denver, we got to attend a Rockies Baseball game. Can you tell we like baseball?

With much dismay, we left our families and returned to the lovely state of Utah. Mckay has a summer internship with a company called WesTech in Salt Lake. His uncle Jeff also works there and was very helpful in recommending Mckay for the internship. As I mentioned previously, a different uncle of Mckay’s has graciously allowed us to live with him and his wife in Riverton. Dallin and I are pretty much doing the same thing, but now we’re in a different place. He still loves to be outside and go on walks. The other day we walked to a nearby park and played for a bit. I’ll leave you with some pictures from our outing.

Congratulations to Mckay on graduation! Four years for an engineering degree alone is quite an accomplishment. I love the pictures at the park. We loved seeing you guys in Utah and at the wedding. The Cardinals game was a lot of fun too.

Oooh, that park looks like fun. I love that picture of him riding the plane.
