Rex is finally graduated! He now has a bachelors of science in Recreation Management and Youth Leadership. We went to the University Commencement last Thursday (April 24), which was also Rex's birthday. Rex's parents were able to come down to it. It was nice. It took forever for all the graduates to come in. Elder Bednar spoke on learning to love learning. Afterwards, we met my cousin Anna, who also graduated with a masters in accounting. We took some pictures.
Rex, Ian, and I went out to eat that night at a southwestern bbq restaurant on University Avenue. The food was good. It was served in the paper hot dogs holder things.
Friday morning Ian woke up with a cold and slight fever, so we gave him Tylenol. Rex's parents and brother Bradley came down that morning. We went to meet the President at the Alumni Building. We were able to get a picture with President Samuelson. Bradley, who goes to the U, did not want to get a picture with the BYU president, but he was convinced to come in. Rex told president Samuelson that Bradley goes to the U and didn't want to get his picture taken with the BYU president. Then President Samuelson asked Bradley how many degrees he has from the U. Bradley said none and then President Samuelson said he has three more than that. We also went and got professional graduation pictures done. Ian was able to wear a little cap and gown for the pictures.
We then went and saw a couple of Rex's formers supervisors, Kathy and Chris Brittain. We had lunch at the Skyroom Restaurant. We all got the buffet, which was good. We then met Anna's family and took some pictures and headed down to the Smith Fieldhouse for Rex's college graduation. Christen met us down there and my parents made it just in time. My sister Teri did not come because she has mono. There was no order when they walked across the stage. When I graduated last year, we were lined up according to major and when we graduated (December or April). Rex was towards the end. After the graduation, they provided brownies and juice.
We then walked back up to our apartment. Rex opened birthday/graduation presents. His parents and Bradley then left. We went out to eat with my parents and Christen. We went to Los Hermonos. It was good and the first time we have been there.
Ian woke up Sunday morning throwing up and continued to do so throughout the morning. So I stayed home with him from church. He has been slowly recovering, he has been very tired and has no energy. He has been doing much better today. Monday night Rex got sick and received two blessings. Last night I got sick and have been weak all day.
Oh, yes, Rex is still looking for a job. He has had a couple interviews, but he didn't get those jobs. He has an interview in Tennessee next week. He flying out Monday and will be back probably on Wednesday.
