MeRrY ChRiStMaS!

With Spencer's graduation, moving out of our apartment, and the holiday's, I never sent out any of our Christmas cards, so here it is!

We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!



Love, Spence, Katie and Lance

Give three cheers for the MBA Grad!!!

HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spence officially graduated with his MBA. It was such an incredibly F-U-N day, so I will give you sneak peek of what the day entailed.

Thursday night, there was a reception for the graduates and their families. During this reception they give out five Thunderbird Spirit of Giving Awards. One to a student, one to a faculty member, one to a department, one to an employee and one to a club. Spencer's band won the club award. They got this glass plaque and a hard bound book about Thunderbird. It was a really neat honor for their band to be nominated by their peers and the Thunderbird staff for this award. Spencer was also awarded with a medal for being a Thunderbird Campus Ambassador, which is the metal he is wearing around his neck in the graduation pictures.

Friday: The graduation ceremony was L-O-N-G and quite boring if I am being honest. But it was so amazing to see my man up there receiving his diploma. Here is a picture of him walking into the graduation room.

Spencer was selected to sing the national anthem for graduation and it was beyond. Words can't even describe how amazing it was. He sang it Acapella and he did a great job. I wish I had the video to download for you all to hear.

Here he is with the president of Thunderbird receiving his diploma (well at least his diploma cover).

We are so lucky to have such supportive families. Both of our parents were able to come down for the celebration.



I have a better family picture, but I had to post this one, because isn't this the typical mommy picture. Your baby can be gouging your eye out and you just smile on throught it!

After graduation we went to the gala which was amazing. The committee did such a fantastic job. We had a wonderful dinner, and the decorations were amazing, and the best part of the night was Spencer's band entertained for about 2 hours and did an amazing job. It was so fun for me, but especially both of our parents to see Spence in his element. He even got my dad out on the dance floor!

Well a huge congrats to Spence. Not only did he survive the past year and a half, but he THRIVED! Seriously, he is so smart and talented it blows my mind. Not only did he do great in school but he had so much fun along the way, and made the most of his Thunderbird experience. He took away so much valuable knowledge, a new way of thinking, a million memories and great friends from all over the world. We are really sad that this chapter in our lives has come to a close, but we are excited to see what the next chapter holds. I am so proud of you babe.

WAY TO GO!!!

Last chance - going private!

I keep debating - do I really want to go private, but with Spence graduating (TODAY - WOO, WOO!) and with us starting a new chapter, I think it will be best. I know it is inconvenient, but with that said - if you didn't list your email address before but are interested in still checking our blog, go ahead. Deadline will be Tuesday, December 16. Thanks!
