Graduation and Relaxation

Sol finally did it. He graduated from the University of Utah on May 8th. For some reason I was extremely emotional when the processional began, but I promise I composed myself and was fine the rest of the day. I am so proud of him for finally getting through his schooling. It was a long day, but very good. Now lets just hope he can find a job in this crappy economy. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Isn't he so adorable??!!

I don't particularly like myself in this picture, but Sol looks good.

The week after he graduated was my birthday and we decided to take off for a few days. This is a huge step for us because Sol is such a stickler with money, but really the only way he let us go is because we didn't have to pay for somewhere to stay. Sol's family has a condo down in Moab that we went and stayed in. It was so nice to get away from reality for awhile and just relax which is something we haven't been able to do for quite some time. We spent some time swimming, biking, hiking and sight-seeing. We had a great time and I can't tell you how hard it was to leave and come back to work and job hunting.



This is where we stayed.




The three above are from Arches National Park, which was so pretty.

Now that we are back my life has gone back to normal, but Sol is still job hunting. We really want to stay in Utah, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I guess all we can do now is wait and hope something happens soon.
