this summer's vacation

Hey everyone, I just thought we ought to open the dialogue regarding this summer's family vacation. We'll be winding up our week with the Steeds on the weekend of the 28/29 June and will be ready to party Truman style come 6/30. I heard talk a while back that Provo was off this year and we may stick around Las Vegas. Please confirm/deny if you have some solid information on that. If you don't have any solid info, this is a good time to start airing our opinions. We are happy to have the vacation in Vegas (especially because we get to stay at Mom's cool new house!), but if you all are looking for a reason to get out of town for the week, we liked really liked the Provo arrangement last year. Anyway, we can't wait to see you all soon! -Mike and family

Milestones and memories

A beautiful day, a brim full heart, a milestone for Wes, Lori and Lucy and one for us too.
All our children are now college graduates.
The first so long ago, and today sitting in the Marriot center, watching Lucy smile and clap and draw patiently during the long ceremonies, I feel so blessed!

The accomplishment is amazing and one reached with determination through interruptions and with patience.

From the first speaker who mentioned Wes' favorite Calvin and Hobbs characters, to the last who explained that education is important, but not everything, that it is people, relationships that are important, the day was wonderful. Sitting in the audience looking at families being proud of families, listening to speakers who spoke unashamedly of their testimonies and their faith, realizing again how blessed we are in the gospel, and giving thanks for the miracles and the faith that made the day possible.
