Graduated!

Friday was graduation day for Dan and I. I don't think it's hit either of us yet...are we really done with school? No more classes, papers, projects, tests, or finals? Really? That rocks!!! We went to Dan's parents' house for lunch before the convocation and my parents and brother Darin (who had driven up from Idaho) joined us. We had a really nice time together.

After lunch we headed to campus to take a couple pictures before the ceremony.

Dan got his B.S. in Information Systems and I received my Graduate Certificate in TESOL. After graduation, which took about 3 hours with so many Marriott School graduates, my parents took us to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Springville, good old Joe Bandido's. It was a really fun day, and a great way to close the school chapter of our lives.

11 weeks and counting...

This morning Dan and I had our second doctor's appointment. We were really excited at the prospect of getting to hear the baby's heartbeat and having that extra confirmation that, yes, we really are having a baby. We weren't disappointed! The doctor was able to quickly find the heartbeat and we were so excited to hear him comment on how strong the heart sounded.

It was an incredible experience for me to hear the heartbeat and have even more proof that there really is a little person growing and developing inside of me. It makes the nausea and tiredness so worth it!

When I told my sister about the heartbeat her response was "Phew! Only one heart!" I agree.
