GRADUATION!!!!

I can't believe it is really here. I am so excited that Devon is graduating and that so many people want to share it with us. On Thursday night Devon's parents, sister Chelsea and her 7 month old son Seth flew into Idaho Falls. After going out to dinner with them we went back home while they settled in at the Roos' (in-laws). Friday afternoon they came up to Rexburg and we gave them a nice tour of the campus. Devon was able to show them where he worked and what he did. Devon was a great tour guide as he showed us around through the different gardens and green houses. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to have them there. Friday night we were going to have a Graduation dinner for Devon. Everyone was to meet at Texas Rhode House at 7:30. There turned out to be about 15 of us. G&G Martinez came up to see Devon graduate, his parents were there and we were joined by the rest of his sister family (Chelsea, John, Nathan, Sadie and Seth) Devon also had some cousins that lived in the area come over. It turned out to be really nice.

Saturday morning we were all up bright and early. Devon had to be at the school at 7:45 and Devon's mom and I tried to get there around 8:00. We only had two tickets to convocation so everyone else was going to meet at the house at 9:30 and come to commencement at 10:30.

Convocation was really nice the President of BYU-Idaho spoke, the Governor of Idaho gave a few word, Elder Haight (sp?) gave a few words (he was there because one of his grandsons was graduating) and then Elder Iring spoke. I wasn't able to catch all of it because Austin was more than a little tired and after traveling and being around so many people, just wanted his own bed. It all turned out really nice and Devon was so excited. It was just great. Thank you to all who came, called or have offered you support in so many ways.
