OLD NEWS

Okay, I know I am pathetic, a slacker, and just plain "WAY BEHIND," but I am going to do this anyways, just so I feel better about it. So I am going to do one post a night until I am caught up. So here we go:

Since my last post, 8 months ago, A LOT has happend in our crazy lives. First of all, Vance had his Graduation Ceremony. It was on Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the E Center. On that weekend, we had one of the most exciting few days in our lives. That Friday, April 30th was Vance's last day at a dead-end job (well, dead-end for him anyways). That night, we had a dinner with the Brodericks at Mandarin to celebrate Vance's graduation, then some of the family came over to watch the Jazz game. Saturday morning we woke up bright and early (for us anyways!) and got ready for Vance's Graduation Commencement. The big day had finally arrived!

(A couple of days before the ceremony, we went and got pictures done.)

 At the Graduation

 I know, in the picture above, I look 12 weeks pregnant, but it is just the style of my skirt (and my gutt!)

 Both the boys were amazing through the ceremony. Thank you to my mom and sister who helped with them! 

 Vance and my mom

 Vance's grandparents came all the way from London to celebrate and congradulate several of the grandchildren that graduated around the same time Vance did.

They are so supportive!

Vance's brother, Mark, was supposed to graduate that same day, but their baby was due that same day as well so he wasn't sure if he would be able to be there.

 Me and my graduate!

 My adorable niece, Taylor Grayce!



 Vance and his Dad

 Everyone that came to support Vance. We have such an incredible and supportive family!

Thank you Chloe for holding Isaac the whole time we took pictures. You're awesome!!

Later that night, Grandpa and Grandma Leavitt held a dinner/banquet for all the graduates in the family at Thanksgiving Point. It was very nice and very yummy!

 This is the baby that was due on this same day. She came almost 2 weeks early. Soooooo adorable!

The following Monday (May 3rd) Vance started training at Farm Bureau to become an Insurance Agent. So all in one weekend he ended one job, graduated, and started his career!  It was crazy but quite exciting!
