Krys's Graduation Celebration

After arriving back from Mexico, we had 72 hours before we had to leave for Idaho. Let's just say the house was a complete mess when we left...ummm, and still is :) We usually don't plan two vacations right next to each other, but my sis Krysten was graduating from the nursing program at BYU-I. There was no way we were going to miss that!

The minute we arrived in Rexburg our day was packed. You may be asking, "What is there to do in Idaho?" Well, a lot! After Krys and Jared came over to our hotel we headed over to Jared's dad's house to meet Caleb (Krys and Jared's nephew). Ava is just a month younger than Caleb. This was the highly anticipated play date...more like a play beside each other date. I think Caleb was very infatuated with Ava, because he kept wanting to hug her, kiss her face and touch her. They aren't blood related, so it was alright!

That night was Krysten's graduation. We headed over to the location where the ceremony was going to be held, walked in, and no one else was there. We were just a half hour early before we had to be seated. Who cares where everyone else was, we got to sit in the two front rows! After the ceremony we headed back to Krys's apartment to indulge in some Dairy Queen ice cream cake. I wish I had some to eat right now!

While in Rexburg we also fit in attending a session at the Rexburg temple (thanks Jeanie for watching little Ava bug), had craft time (I made some super cute coasters), went bowling, went shooting, got to pet horses, and had a delicious dinner at Jared's dad's house...can't forget playing games (I won Settlers both times we played!!!) Thanks Krys and Jared for showing us a good time. We had a blast. We wish we could do it more often. We are so glad that we were able to make it out for your graduation. Stressful days of studying, taking tests, and clinicals are finally over...well, after you take the state board exam. We are so proud of you!
