Graduation!

The Chief graduated today! Hooray! We are thrilled. Well, I am, and Grandma and Grandpa Bagel are. :) Buddha and Bugga probably don't really quite get it, but I'm glad they were at their daddy's graduation. The law school convocation was held in the Provo Tabernacle and The Chief led the procession of students receiving their Juris Doctorate (which is basically everyone). I manned the video camera, the digital camera, and Buddha. Grandpa Bagel was kind enough to take care of a very fussy Bugga who eventually fell asleep on him, only to be awakened a few minutes later when we clapped after a speaker finished. Such a momentous occasion! We are very proud of The Chief. He has worked so hard for this over the last three and a half years (if you count studying to take the LSAT). I'm glad it's over, but leaving Utah is going to be bitter-sweet, as it should be. We've made lots of great friends here and even more great memories. I'm sure we'll be back to visit, but for now, San Diego here we come!

Hi Liz, this is Amy, Jo's cousin. Your blog is awesome--with a great family photo where you have it, I think! My sister Heather helped set up our blog. She has a real web site that supports some of the photo things on our blog. I have no idea how to do it. She also has had the slide show thing on her blog, like this post of yours--really cool, by the way! And congratulations on graduation for you guys--nice to be to that point, I would guess. Good luck to you and your darling family.

The parents-in-law are just as happy as everyone else, just distantly happy. This is a major thing! I thought out my thoughts for quite a while and wrote them in a letter to The Chief, plus a little gift. Hope you get them before Christmas! even before you leave for San Diego. Love and blessings to the whole family. - the O's from two countries away (though San Diego will seem closer to us, especially culturally)
