Bragging rights!!!

We had the exciting opportunity to fly to Arizona for some work training for Boyd and finish up the week by attending Kalie's graduation from Northern Arizona University with her master's degree in English. It was amazing to be there and realize the incredible amount of effort it takes to get your education.

Kudos to Kalie!!

Proud parents!

Kevin's parents who drove with Kevin (who is doing a rotation in Elko) from Elko to be there for this exciting moment. Thanks!


If it looks like we are standing in a forest, we are. Flagstaff is in the mountains and part of the campus is in the trees. It was lovely there, despite the traffic (HORRIBLE) and getting lost (ANNOYING). Flagstaff did redeem itself by having a Sizzler where we ate lunch with Kalie. I know they have other restaurants, we just couldn't get out of a parking lot that we inadvertantly drove into. Thus, we walked to the closest restaurant which was the Sizzler. It was good food.

Isn't it so cool that Kalie stuck with the masters program. Now she has that feather in her cap. Way cool.
