Alright, after we sent out our graduation announcements, we had a ton of people reply and ask what our plans were from here. So, here's the update for anyone who wanted one...
Both graduation commencement and convocation went VERY well. Vice President Dick Cheney gave a great speech. Also, President Gordon B. Hinckley, Elder Bednar, and Elder Scott were all there in attendance. President Hinckley didn't speak, which I was actually happy about. I think if he had, it would have overshadowed the presence of Dick Cheney. Miles' entire family came down for commencement and convocation. We had a BBQ/picnic for both of our families after convocation of Friday. Everyone got along surprisingly well. We ate fat hamburgers and played some mean bocce ball.
So, now that we've graduated from BYU, here's the plan. Miles got accepted to UCI for a PhD program working with embryonic stem cells. So, we will be moving to California in mid to late June. He will be starting a rotation summer quarter. We will be close to the beach and Disneyland for at least 5 years. Wahoo!

Haha. Everyone got along surprisingly well? Who are you, the Montagues and Capulets? :) Congrats on graduation! We love you guys!
BTW, we would definitely recommend using some of that graduation money on a digital SLR. They are so great! You can do so much more with them than with a regular point and shoot camera. It would be well worth the $. We got our at a store called pictureline here in SLC. It's a great place! Their site is pictureline.com of you're interested!
