Big Sky Country

We spent last Sunday through Wednesday driving to, and from, and enjoying lovely Montana. It was so nice to step out of the busy city and spend some relaxing and quiet days in the Fairfield area. We visited Zach's grandparents, watched the men fix the brakes, watched movies, ate delicious food, and enjoyed visiting and being together. I would not mind settling down and retiring somewhere in this great state. 

A Little More Party

We had such a great time visiting with the Papenfuss side of the family.  We played ping pong, tennis, catch, jumped on the trampoline, swung on the swings and enjoyed the weather and each other.

Week 29

I am measuring 39 inches around. I have passed my grandpa and my husband and quickly approaching my dad's width around. Turning sideways no longer is the thinner option and i bump my belly on almost everything. Leaning over a counter, basket, washer, or trunk? Forget about it. Two and a half months to go. I can only imagine how fun it will continue to get. Thankfully that is all I can complain about. I absolutely love Anna's larger, stronger and smoother movements. I am so grateful that I have had such a blessed pregnancy.

We Like to Party

Friday  night we partied at Brick Oven Pizza where Holly and Megan work. It was so fun seeing them in action. I felt like a proud and glowing parent just watching those two work.

Saturday we had the big graduation party on Barry and Laurie's gorgeous lawn. The weather was wonderful, the food was amazing and the company was even better. We had such a good time enjoying family and getting to know each other a little more.

Thanks for giving us a great reason to get together and celebrate, Paige!

Convocation

So proud of our girl Paigy, not because we didn't think she could do it but because we knew she would and are so happy to see her making the choices that lead to a happy and full life. I have been incredibly grateful for my degree and know it makes a difference in how I see myself as well as how employers see me. I hope we can all go back and work on furthering our education in the not to distant future.
If I was a billionaire and could pick any profession, I would be an eternal student. Nothing feels better than learning something new and sharing that knowledge with others.

Congratulations Paige, and the graduating class of 2013!

The World Is Our Campus

Friday before Convocation we walked around campus enjoying the warm spring weather taking pictures of the Graduate and her University.  

Blasted

In remembrance of Brock and some good old times we headed to Taco Bell after Commencement for some Baja Blast. Those blue drinks of caffeinated delight did not disappoint. We were also reminded of Brock and how excited we are to see him in six months. We know the time will fly by but feel the day he gets home can't come soon enough.
