Last Day of School

Today I saw my husband off to his last day of college.

I’m so proud of him! That may sound a little corny and intense, but it really is fun for me.

Dale and I are really close, and it’s great to see what a sweet best friendship we are developing. He tells me all about his worries and tries, and he comforts and spoils me when I’m freaking out. He tells me all about his classes and the crazy characters who attend… and of course, how much he wants to be DONE. After having been with him for half of his college experience, I think I’m more excited than he is that he’s graduating!

Dale has been working on a Bachelor’s of Business Management—Human Resources since Fall of 2004. He took 2 years off for a mission in the Czeck Republic and Slovakia, but since then it’s been semester after semester. I’m excited for him to stop, take some time off, and enjoy life for a few weeks before diving in to full time employment.

When I graduated a year ago, I wasn’t too excited about it either. Partially because I had JUST finished scheduling every moment of my life studying for tests and completing assignments, and still had to study for and take a national licensing exam before I was really finished, and I was getting married the week after —my brain was so full of intellectual tasks that I didn’t have time to process excitement!

To celebrate and help Dale know how much I appreciated him sticking it out and finishing a degree, we’re taking a long weekend to VEGAS!! In three weekends, Dale, myself, and another couple are gonna get out of Utah for an adventure somewhere warmer. I want to go swimming because I am hot, and see buildings that were built for form rather than function.

Dale, babe, I’m proud of you, and am so excited for us both!
