Commencement

Today was a great day! I finally graduated! It feels so good. My parents came up, along with my sister and her kids. It was fun to see everyone. Only my parents were able to attend the ceremony with me, but it was really good. Elder Russel M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was our keynote speaker. It was really good. He talked about the three circles of life. The circle of Families, Saints and the Savior. He said we should encircle ourselves with three circles.
These are just a few pictures from our photo shoot after the ceremony. Check out the sweet car in the background. The family picture is me with my sister Susan, her husband Darren, and their three boys. They have been kind enough to let me live with them over the last couple of years. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to afford college. They were/are very kind.
We came home and had a BBQ. It was tasty. Marinated Chicken and veggies. I love grilled veggies. Asparagus and zucchini are the best.
I also went out and bought a digital camera today. My brother-in-law has been bugging me to do it for a really long time. Today I finally gave in! Prepare for more blog entries!!!! I'm so excited.

Guadalahonky's

One of the first things we noticed when we moved here to Draper was this Guadalahonky's Restaurant. We have always wanted to eat here, so we finally did for Family Home Evening on Monday. It was really good. I ordered the Taco Grande with Shredded beef. It was TASTY! and as you can tell from the picuture....GRANDE! I had to eat some with a fork before I could even wrap it up in the tortilla. If ever in Draper....eat at Guadalahonky's.

Who knew nylons could be so much fun?

Okay, so when I was younger we often times had to find or make our own fun. One of the blessings of growing up in a small town. (Because there are so many!!)
Tonight I introduced one of those small-town activities to my roommates. As youngsters we used to steal my moms knee-high's and put them over our heads....and she would always get mad at us. I don't understand why.
So here we are; Jenna, me, Christine, Roni, and Becca....with nylons on our heads. Jenna said "Tracie, you need horns or something. You look evil!" We sure do have good times in our apartment. Too bad it is all coming to a close. We are all done doing our student teaching next week, so we will separate and go our own seperate ways. :( We have clean check tonight so our apartment is nice and clean too!
