Alrighty, much to tell, much to tell.
In the last 10 days we have:
1) Graduated with bachelors degrees from Utah State University
2) Finished our stint as House Directors at the Kappa Delta Sorority
3) Helped Mom & Dad with repairs to the Brigham City rental house
4) Blood results received (Alisha) and my liver, thyroid, cholesterol, etc, etc, etc, levels are practically perfect in every way. However, my insulin is 5.8 and my doctor would like to see down to 5.4... so I got another 4 month Rx of Metformin to see if that will help lower it at all. I posted last year about having Peripheral Insulin Resistance.
5) We both gave our two weeks notice at our perspective places of employment
6) Moved out of our apartment
7) Signed a lease to an apartment in Norman, OK
8) Transfered banks to a small credit union in Norman.
9) Trained the new practicum student at Alpine Hospice.
10) Work up every day before 8am (those of you who know me [Alisha] know what a feat this is!!)
Moving to Norman in 14 days.
Before then we want to have another Crepe or Sushi day where we ALL get together and make, then eat scrumptious food!! Erica is leading this adventure so get in contact with her with dates and plans and preferences and what not.
While Norman is ONLY 19 hours away, we would like to see everyone all together (Memorial Cabin Cleaning Weekend not included) for some fun!!

Adventure's Limbo
I graduated on Saturday. I didn't really tell anybody... so it's ok if you didn't know about it. I just didn't think it was such a big deal that people should get work off and come sit through speech after speech just to see me walk across the stage, ya know? But I thought of you all as I walked and how much you have supported me. :) I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in both English Literary Studies and Liberal Arts with a minor in Speech Organization. I also graduated Cum Laude, which was a bit surprising.
I felt super loved as I had breakfast with some of my family and Weston's, when multiple people called my name as I walked to the stage, cheered raucously as my name was read, and snapped photographs. I was able to see friends that I haven't seen in ages, and say goodbye to some that I won't see for a long time to come.
A friend and I were talking in the office last night about how we won't remember what we learned in our classes, or who the professors were or what grades we got, but that we'd remember the people we met and friendships we made. I may have never made comments in class, but I was the one in the corner of the room that joked with friends through class and had professors rolling their eyes at some of the things we would do, or laughing at our antics. My professors recognized me and gave me hugs, encouraging words, and high 5's as I walked amidst them down the tunnel toward the commencement ceremonies. I guess I always thought I was invisible... but learned that being quiet, and trying to stay out of the limelight has its own power. It's true that someone is always watching what you do, even when you don't know it.
Thank you, USU and all the friends I have met here, I will never forget you or the good times we had together.
