Graduation Weekend

Although Chip technically graduated last Summer, he formally graduated from UVU this past weekend. He originally had decided not to do the whole cap and gown/walking thing but we are so glad he did. Mom and Dad came up from Phoenix for the weekend and we had such a good time with them like we always do. The graduation ceremony was exceptional! President Monson was the honored speaker and he delivered such a powerful and moving speech. What a special man he is.

After the graduation (which lasted about 5 hours-my pregnant body wanted to die), we all drove up to Salt Lake to have dinner at The Melting Pot. It was sooo yummy! Although it is pricey, it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend dining there at least once. On Saturday, we headed back to Salt Lake to have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory (also very yummy) with Grandma Joan, did some traditional shopping with Mom at Nordstrom, and headed off to Park City. Dad got a suite at the Silver Queen Hotel with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, living area, dining area and kitchen. It was amazing! It was what I imagine a Manhattan apartment to be.We got to tour Main St, have a cozy dinner, and return to our place for a movie. We had such a great time. Thanks Mom and Dad for all your love and generosity.
