Diploma

I got my diploma in the mail today.  It felt so good.  I cried. Well just a little... maybe. After years of sweat and hard work, all nighters, huge papers, tests and classes I got this piece of paper.

Jim and Pam are engaged! Michael: To be married?!?!

So are we!  We became engaged on Christmas morning and the above picture is worth the 1000 words that I was going to write.  It was awesome. We will be wed on June 5th in the San Diego Temple. 

Here is the bling in partial glory but you should really see it in person.  Spoon is so spoiled (Alliteration).

Cassie's Mother made us an engagement cake and a BYU cake because I graduated. They tasted as good as they looked.

We had party and we did a toast  with sparkling cider.

Post BYU Beard

Thought I'd let my beard grow out a bit. After 24 years of either not being able to or not being allowed to, it feels so rad.  And mine is said to be better than Nate's, in some circles.  Oh yea, I graduated from BYU,  I got a bachelors degree in Latin American Studies.   And no, I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but it sure feels good to be done.  I am sleeping a lot these days to make up for the past years of staying up all night writing papers.
