Paul's Big Day






Well, the biggest event in this family since the birth of Lucy has come and gone. Paul graduated from BYU Law School on Friday, April 23rd at the Provo Tabernacle. It was a great and memorable day for us as we got to celebrate all that he has accomplished. (and the end of student living...bittersweet believe it or not)

I must give credit where credit is due. Paul has worked so hard throughout his schooling experience; his diligence to his studies never ceased to amaze me. He aimed high throughout law school and was able to achieve a lot. And while it wasn't always easy to have him gone all the time, I just couldn't be more proud of what he has done the last three years. He worked and worked and worked, yet he was also able to make good friends that we are very sad to have to say goodbye to. He loved going to lunch every day, studying at the carrels, and even the occasional "study session" in the workroom with the XBox or a BYU game on the big screen.

A special thank you goes to my mom and dad and Grandma Irene for helping me wrestle the kids for the entire two hour program. You guys earned your gold stars! (Another thank you goes to the good people who are the makers of the dum dum sucker...lifesavers!)

Here are some pictures of the big day. Sabrina's face is priceless in all these pictures. She may be the most excited of all of us to be done!

Way to go Paul! We're proud of you. Lin, for some reason, Lucy looks so big in that picture of you guys with Mom and Dad. I know she's tiny. Maybe it's just that a tiny you is holding her?!

Cute hair Lindsay. I like the blond. I think the thing Paul is going to miss most about law school is the eating out everyday. -Gretel (not Curtis)
