My Little Institute Grad

Yeah!  I have pictures!  Since my last post I have been making more of an effort to take my camera w/ me.  So here are the latest!  

First of all, I would like to introduce you all to my little Institute Graduate!  Last night Rob graduated from the Ogden Institute of Religion.  I'm so proud of him, don't mind that it was like 100 degrees in the building and my hair is as limp as spaghetti, but I'm so proud of him!  This week is his week for sure!  He's graduating on Friday (more pictures to come, promise!) I can't believe the time is finally here!

So today Rob had his last seminar for school and last night we stayed up late putting his binder together.  I went to Ogden w/ him b/c I had a doctor's appointment and we wanted to save on gas...unfortunately that didn't happen b/c when we got to school Rob realized he'd totally forgot his portfolio at home, so I dashed back home to get it and only ended up being 15 minutes late to my appointment.  No harm done, they got me in the second I walked in, maybe I should try that more often. :)  

Rob and I went out for lunch to "celebrate" this being his last week of school.  If you know Rob, you know he can find any reason to celebrate and go out to eat, he's been counting down the days til Friday, not just because of graduation, but because of Maddox, and he IS getting dessert!  Here's my happy little graduate after lunch. 
Rob is also obsessed w/ trains, ok, not obsessed, but he really likes them.  So this weekend he wanted to go down to frontrunner, but we didn't end up having time.  But today we did drive down to the transit station and check them out.  I think we'll definitely be hitting it up this weekend.  Has anyone tried it out?  How was it?

No Pictures

My post have kind of been few and far in between lately, I just feel like it's more enjoyable to post w/ pictures.  Sorry.  Because of this lack of photography on my part lately, I haven't posted.  So I'll just update on what I've been doing.  Mostly working.  Rob goes back to UPS on Monday, so we've been trying to live it up as much as we can, which consists of going on walks in the evening, now that it's finally warming up.  We've also been playing a little tennis here and there.  Another thing I've been doing is burning CD's onto our computer.  The other day Rob and I realized that our CD's were stolen.  NOT HAPPY!  The thing is, they were in our car, and no we don't lock it all the time (nuts) but we don't listen to our CD's a ton b/c we haven't been driving long distances lately, so we don't even know when or where they were stolen.  So I've been burning a lot of my sister's CD's so we can have music.  On a lighter note, Thursday we went to Maddox w/ the fam b/c my little sister Mackenzie was leaving the next day for BYU-Idaho.  I was able to take Kenz up on Friday and help her get settled.  We spent the day running errands and getting stuff she would need. My parents and Rob came to meet us that night and Rob and I turned around and came home.  We left at 11:00pm, and I was spent, so I slept the whole time while Rob entertained himself the whole way home.  I vaguely remember waking up a couple times and heard him singing at the top of his lungs w/ the windows open to keep himself awake. He does this often on our late drives home, I'm experienced enough to know to bring a blanket so I can sleep and stay warm. Hee, Hee!  He's a good husband!  Then today we went to the high school and did some sprints for my run today.  I don't think I've sprinted for like years.  I'm pretty sore....and, that's all.  Sorry no pictures!

Happy 26th Rob

April 2 was Rob's 26th Birthday.  He kind of had a rough time w/ accepting that he's 26, but at the end of the day he felt like he could handle it.   I'm so glad!  :)  This year I decided to throw him a surprise party w/ our families.  He's never had a surprise party before, and I tried so hard to keep it a secret.  I thought he would suspect something, b/c I almost got caught a few times, but he didn't have a clue!  I was so excited and he was so surprised!  

This is Rob coming in the 2nd time, b/c I forgot my camera the first.  Oops!

Here are some of the attendees: On the couch:Grandpa Pete, my mom, Grandma Pete, Rob's dad, then mom, and Sydnee of the floor.
Keaton always gets so excited to open presents.  This rake came from Rob's brother Will.  Keaton is trying to help...
A couple weeks before his birthday, Rob and I were at the store and happened to stop and look at the cakes and said that neither of us ever had a cake made at a bakery for our birthday when we were little, and how we remembered those ones were always the coolest, so I decided to get him one of those too.  I actually didn't know he never had a surprise party until that night. :)
And here he is, my 26 year old birthday boy!  I love him so much and am so proud of him and all that he's accomplished!  He's the love of my life and he makes me laugh everyday!  I'm so grateful for him!
Hope you had a good birthday Hon!  I love you!  (It's nothing short of pure love that at this moment I'm sitting on the couch with him watching a BASKETBALL game and cheering for Kansas to win so that he can win the Petersen March Madness tourney and get his name on the plaque at my grandpa's house!  Oh well, the things we do for LOVE)
