The day after the baseball game, Steve and I got on a plane and headed to Provo. It would be a whirlwind trip, but one we were very excited about. The primary reason for our trip was to see Steph graduate with honors from the Marriott School of Business at BYU. But we also got to pack in some other activities during our short (about 3 1/2 day) visit.
First, we picked out a wedding dress with Emily. She had actually done most of the leg work with Steph's help and had narrowed the choices to two. Next, Steve got to help Geoffrey select a car to purchase. Geoffrey has an internship for the summer and it was time for him to buy a car so that he could get where he needed to go. We also got to help a little with two apartment clean outs, and have a wonderful dinner with our kids there and my brother, Bruce and his wife, Jennifer.
The graduation was wonderful. The main graduation ceremony for the whole university featured Elder Scott as the main speaker. It was very good. The next morning was her college convocation which was equally enjoyable. We even got to see the Robertson family since Michael was graduating as well.
Friday night, Emily headed back to NJ. Saturday morning saw Steve and I getting on a plane home and Stephanie traveling by car down to L.A. to join Marc who had moved down with most of their things a few weeks before. Geoffrey headed to SLC later that week and now, unbelievably, we have no children in Provo. Seems a little strange....but no worries. Several will be back in the fall.

So fun. Wish we could have been there too! And I think maybe I'll get Emily a jacket or some shoes for her birthday...
