Undergraduate Degree- Check

As of July 26, 2010 I completed all the requirements for my undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University! Take that, after changing my major 6.7 million times, moving to California for the last year, and taking classes at Cal State Northrdige to transfer, I have finally completed my degree. The best part however, is even with all the change, adjustments, and extreme flexibility I finished in four years (which was always my goal and who does that now days?)

It has been a rough road at times, I remember watching Enoch walk last year and wishing so bad that I would have the same opportunity to graduate from BYU, but in the end I am getting my chance. Come August 12th I will return to BYU and pay my respects to a campus I love, for professors and students with morals, where language is clean and uplifting, where facilities are maintained, where devotionals and praying are the norm, and where modesty rules. My experience away from BYU has given me a greater appreciation for the school. I will always have wonderful memories of campus, sporting events, intramurals, walking to campus, working for BYU, studying abroad in Europe, partying with roommates, finding my true love, learning, and growing up.

Kennedy Admiring

And now for the star of our visit. Kennedy Sharlan Clawson. I couldn't get over all the words she can say, my favorite being applesauce, she is quite the parrot. Other favorite moments included watching her dress up and dance, screaming for suckers, eating ice, going to the zoo, and watching her run wild through the house screaming "Naked."

Home Improving

My sister bought a home a few months before we came to visit and also helped them paint their kitchen and family room. Can I just say, they are total work horses, staying up to early hours of the night- not to mention while my sister is 8 months pregnant and know their home is gorgeous and she has a beautiful new baby (number 2) all by the age of 24 so it all works out. This is the only picture I have so I will have to steal some from my sister

Toledo Zooing

For memorial day we visited the Toedo Zoo, and can I say that zoo's will small children makes for a day packed full of fun. Kennedy loved the "big guy" aka an enormous chimp, watching the elephants take a bath, and every other animal

Detriot Viewing/ Tiger Seeing

In Detroit we took the "People Mover," saw Canada, the GM building, and went to a Tiger game.

Henry Fording

No trip to Michigan is complete without paying respects to good ol' Henry Ford. In honor of the man who is keeping the state alive we visited the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and the Ford Rouge Factory Tour (the location the Ford F-150 is built) Aside from a million different cars, trains, tractors, and buggies, we saw the weinerobile, rode in a Model-T rides, made paper airplanes, toured Thomas Edison's lab and saw civil war reenactments.




Kennedy really loved the civil war reenactments..

Our Michigan Marathon

What could be better than Tim, Rachel, and Kennedy Clawson showing us around Michigan, playing games, eating with, and home improving? not much, I submit. After going to Mississippi to help Enoch's mom restore a run down family cemetery and attending the reunion, we figured while we were out of school and as close to Michigan as we would ever be- we may as well fly there after. The following posts will showcase all the excitement of our Michigan Marathon.
