Graduation!

Braeden graduated on Friday!! I am so proud of him! He worked super hard and managed to finish in 3 years and 4 months, not that he was counting :) He received the Outstanding Finance Student Award and he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He was asked to say the benediction at graduation so we got to sit on the stand while Braeden's family and my sister Dawnelle watched our kiddos. Thanks again for giving us that opportunity! Poor Braeden was introduced as Brandon for the benediction. He leaned over and said, "It stared in Kindergarten and ended at my college graduation, my name is Brandon." Cracked me up! Maybe we should be giving our kids easier names to pronounce... :)
All of Braeden's family came up to celebrate with us. The only one missing was his brother Trenten who is serving a mission in Jamaica. He will be home in January though! We're excited to see him again!
My sister McKenna and her husband Alex took some family pictures for us on Sunday. We wanted to get some last pictures at BYU before leaving. We even got the kiddo's BYU outfits.
Family left on Sunday and on Monday the movers arrived at 8 am. By 10:30 our apartment looked like this.
They moved so fast! All our stuff was packed up and loaded on the truck by 3:30. We cleaned our apartment on Monday with some help from my fabulous sister McKenna, thanks again dear! We spent the night with my Grandparents in Orem and got to spend some great time chatting with them before leaving for the airport. We will miss all the family we had so close in Utah!
I will post pictures of our new apartment as soon as we move in. We have almost 2 weeks of hotel living before we move in though so it will be a while. We are excited to start the Georgia chapter of our lives!
