Our Last Year

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give an update on our lives. Things are going really well for us! We started our last year of school a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe it's almost over. A poster at school really delivered that it's coming to an end.

"Parents' Weekend--October 22-24"

I still remember Parents' Weekend of my Freshman year. My dad flew out and I took him around campus to see all of the new and updated buildings since he left in 1985. I'll never forget hearing that he was proud of me, a very touching moment. Right after the moment had passed and being Captain Tactful that I am, I asked him for $1 so I could do laundry. :) Haha! Thanks Dad!

But what struck me was thinking that the next Parents' Weekend for me will be 20 years from now when our firstborn goes to BYU and lives in Heritage Halls. It's a crazy thought.

Next, Megan and I are excited to know that I received a full-time offer of employment to work at KPMG after graduation! Leaving Portland was sad, but knowing we'd be back made up for it. I really love Portland (including it's weirdness) and can't wait to be an official Oregonian. Our first day back to Utah really helped seal the deal. Leaving Portland's dreadlock, unwashed hippies and coming back to the self-centered, too much make up Utah girls was the biggest adjustment. While Utah is my home state because it's where I grew up, I now consider Oregon will be my true home.

Well, that's it for us! Thanks for reading!
