Pretending

Jojo and Shane pretending to be asleep to trick me. Jojo couldn't quite hold in his smile.
I have to say, I hadn't really seen it before, but Jojo is a little carbon copy of his dad.

Christmas

Christmas this year was spent at Grandma and Papa Gilletts home. It seems that we are always going somewhere for Christmas, I am hoping that one of these years will be spent at home establishing our own traditions. Someday. But needless to say every year we have a great time where ever we go, and this year was no exception. We spent a few days there just with our family, and then Becky and Seirra came on Christmas Eve, making it a party. (It's always a party when Becky's around, what can I say she just lights up a room, and makes everyone feel happy.) Then on Christmas day aside from all of the presents and eating (lots of eating), more families came and by the day after Christmas all of Shanes sisters and their families were at G & G Gillett's house. The house was a rockin'! We had a lot of fun, and by the time we had left to go home, I think we were all exhausted. I think a few pictures from our drive home say's it all.

Time for Peace,

and Quiet....

Graduation

So I finally graduated on December 17, 2010. I had many mixed emotions about this. I didn't want to attend the ceremony but after a long talk with my Dad he convinced me that a good way to conclude and put a period to that part of my life. Thanks Dad. I am very glad I did walk. The ceremony about 2 hours long, with an amazing student speaker. Instead of a Valedictorian, they find students who are unique and have a story, to be the speaker. I got to graduate with Kellen Moore (for those who are BSU fans or college football fans you know he was a Heisman Trophy contender). I was able to have my three boys, Shane, and his parents attend. I even got emotional during the ceremony, realizing for the first time that I was finally done. I have to say that though I took a semester off at one point and wanted to do it again many times after that, I am very glad that I stuck through it and finished. So I can now check this item off my bucket list! YAY!!
