HE'S GRADUATED!!!

This is the face of Ivan Tidwell coming home, victoriously, from taking his last final at BYU. Pretty unbelievable.
What a momentous day. After 5 grueling years, Ivan has graduated with his Master of Accountancy from BYU. He is pretty amazing if you ask me. And pretty relieved. Well, for the time being at least. We will see if grad school comes or not. But for now, we are celebrating! Graduation was on Fri. at 5:00 p.m. in the Marriott Center. It was a great meeting. Great in quality and length. There were a lot of graduates. After Ivan walked, he snuck away from his chair to come sit with us. I guess that Tyson got pretty excited about it and he tripped and cut his head open on one of the chairs. Happy Graduation Ivan! Tyson never ceases to make our life interesting. Well, we took him to the medical room at the Marriott Center and she bandaged it up and he was back to the races. This kid never stops.

Ivan with his mom. She came out for the festivities and Hilary joined us at our house after.
Everyone from my family that came.
Our little family. Tyson with his little band aid. Scratch that, HUGE band aid.
Rach, I just can't figure our which one of us was more crazy?! They must have had a scheme planned from the beginning.

Afterward, we went back to our house for some pizza and ice cream. It was so great to have family with us. I got Ivan this picture for his graduation present. It took place of the family picture the moment he saw it. I think he liked it. He also got a book and a new electric razor. Thanks guys!
Congrats babe! I am so proud of you! You are AMAZING!

  1. Congratulations, Ivan (and Katie!). It's a great feeling to be done, right? Unless you're like Kip and you decide to do 4-5 more years of school for a PhD... :)
