Our little shopper
As the sun got higher in the sky, the sun would get in Kate's eyes as Jen and Kate would take me to school/work. Kate started to ask for sunglasses 2-3 weeks ago. She started saying "sunglasses" while pointing to her eyes all the time. She said it to my mom at some point and my mom told her she was coming up soon and would buy her some. Kate was so excited. She then told everyone "Grandma sunglasses." She really could not wait to go shopping with my mom. She is a natural. My wallet already is hurting in anticipation.

End of a chapter
Our life is in a bit of a transition. During this last week, I have graduated from BYU and we have moved all our stuff out and are living in California. The last few weeks have been very busy with finals and packing. Life has slowed down a little and so I will play a little catch-up. Here is our life in turmoil a couple days before the move. Jen was so good and had everything in perfect order the day of the move.
The first day of graduation, or commencement, was a cold day. My dad and I went to look for boxes and it was snowing. It was a lot of snow. I am glad to be in CA. My dad also covered the whole time they were in Utah. There are some good pictures there.
So I walked. Elder Bednar was the speaker. He said that he has been to dozens of commencements and he doesn't remember a single speech. So as a graduation present he said he would keep he speech short. It was good, but I was glad it was short.
Everyone, including Kate, was glad.
Kate was a little scared of the whole outfit.
Who could have asked for a better spouse? I definitely could not have. I had the unique opportunity of starting at BYU married. I mean I have not taken a single BYU class as a single person. Jen really helps me and pushes me to my potential. I really owe my degree to her. I know there would be a good number of people the would shocked that I even made it into a college, let alone BYU or into the accounting program at BYU. I think without Jen they would have been right.
My parents really helped too. They saw that potential, I just drove them nut proving them wrong all those years.
Don't I look spiffy.
The classic sign picture. There was no line because we ran over after commencement. Elder Bednars speech talked about the sign REALLY says "Enter to Learn to Learn and Serve. Go Forth to Learn and Serve." Or something like that. But that is way too long so they shortened it. (That was joke, don't start quoting that in sacrament meeting.)
I thought this was a cool shot. Jen saw a guy taking a girls picture here as I was standing in front of the sign. The "Y" in the background, the Tanner building, and the sign.

We have an Announcement . . .
We have had a very interesting past month. We found out that I was 8 weeks pregnant!! Hurray! Then when I went to the doctor for my 10 week apt he said that he thought I was more like 14 weeks, but definitely no less than 12 weeks. So two weeks later (fri) I went in for an ultrasound and she said that I am 16 weeks. So now I am four months pregnant and I've barely even known it! If you count back, I found out I was pregnant in week 12, meaning I had already finished my 1st trimester. I wish every pregnancy would be like this!
The ultrasound lady could not see if it was a boy or girl. She thought she saw that it was a boy, so she said she was 80% sure it was a boy. We shall see. Here are the pictures we got, a face, arm, and foot.
(Note from Nathan: For the eagle eyed blog reader out there this would not be any new news because they would have noticed the little application counting down the days at the bottom of the page that has been there for a while.)
