Quick Successions: New Mexico Edition

I had never seen the lights at Temple Square before so this year I finally went. The other picture is of me unwrapping gifts on Christmas Eve. The book is from an 8th grade student.

I went to convocation for my Master's Degree today. It is a good feeling to be done.

I went to New Orleans with a colleague from the university. While I was there, I went to the aquarium and found Nemo and Dori.

This year for Spring Break we went to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Venetian Hotel. There are canals in this hotel and people to paddle you in gondolas. Here is Brian and I having a good time.

Brian always makes me a little gift for Valentine's Day and brings it to me at school. Here is this year's offering. It is a poster with candy. It is very cute. So is Brian. Our school mascot is the Knight and Brian makes reference to that in the poster.

I made a cake for my professor that looks like the textbook that he wrote. He was very impressed. His name is Michael Tunnell. He is an award-winning children's book author and a two-time member of the Newberry Committee. He has been one of my favorite professors in this program. I look a little haggard because it was finals week and Brian was in the middle of having surgery and I had to come to campus for finals.
