Graduation

Well the day has finally arrived. I graduated from BYU this past Friday! I received my Bachelors of Science Degree in Secondary Education in the field of Family and Consumer Sciences! I am teaching part-time this coming school year at Lakeridge Junior High in Orem. I start on Tuesday- yikes!

In family news: Alex and Hillary closed on their new home this last weekend and it is beautiful! Ruth delivered a beautiful baby girl: Talia Daphne Gordy. Kyle blessed the sacrament in Spanish, and James starts his last year of school on Wedensday.

We feel very blessed as a family. We hope all of you that are in school have a great year learning and accomplish the goals that you have set for yourselves. We love you:)

Houston, Texas

Hey all! We are having a blast down here in the hot summer sun! We have enjoyed visiting with family, going to the beach, and going to an Astro's game and they actually won!!!

Drezden's first beach experience was really fun for him. He enjoyed running out into the waves and then coming back onto the shore to work on his sand castle.

The Astro’s game ended up going into the 10th inning with a score of 1-1 against the Chicago cubs. In the bottom of the 10th, with 2 outs, and a runner on third base, Bruntlet hit a ball and got the runner in to home plate to end the game with an Astro’s win!

Joe celebrated his 62nd birthday down here with us and we had an awesome dinner with this yummy cake!

We will be heading home on Wednesday and get into SLC around 3:30pm. Our vacation has been a blast! Back to school, work, and life!

Austin, Texas

Well we made it to Austin after a crazy flight. Drezden did really well considering he loves to run around! We got to the hotel and found out that we had to wait to check in so we decided to go and visit some family.

We went and took out James' Grandma and Aunt to Ryan’s- an awesome Texas restaurant! We then went back to the hotel to check in and went swimming as you can see in the pictures! The next day we went out to breakfast at a Mexican Restaurant called Casa Garcias. Michael ate some cow stomach and James and I stayed with the normal breakfast selections.

We made it down to the University of Texas campus and got some awesome gear. We "bleed burnt orange!" We then went out with some of my very best friends from High school and ate some more Mexican:) I am sad that I didn’t get any pictures but it was awesome and so good to see Kelsey, Chuck, and Becca again.

We finished up our vacation in Austin by going to Ihop with the family, hitting up some really sweet brand new outlets, and then headed to Houston on the toll road. We made it into H-town and played hours of guitar hero, saw the Bourne Ultimatum- really good movie!, and are headed to sleep at this moment!

We will post more of our Houston adventures as we experience them! We hope you all are well:)
