End of an era

This has been such a busy time for us! Eric and I are both graduating today, and I had my last day at work on Tuesday. It hasn't really sunk in for me yet that I'm finally done with my bachelor's degree and that I don't have to go back to EIRMC.

Eric is graduating Magna Cum Laude in business management, and has been asked to speak at his convocation tonight. He was also presented with the Newel K. Whitney business award yesterday where they honored him at a breakfast with the dean of the college of business communications. The award was for students who exemplified the qualities of Newel K. Whitney, which were described as "frugal, thrifty, innovative, loyal, humble" and so on.

Anyway, I'm so proud of how hard he's worked and I wanted you all to know too (even though he didn't want me to post all that).

We're so excited to fly to LA and spend the weekend with our awesome friends the Bird's, who we haven't gotten to see for a year! Then we'll be on a cruise for a few days before we pack up and leave Idaho FOR GOOD!
