Ups and Downs

I have decided that I wont be attending FIT. I am kind of sad in some ways--but I know that it is the right decision for me. 

Of course I still have tickets so we are going on vacation. We have tickets to see Lion King and Wicked this week. I am going to try to jump in on some baptisms in the Manhattan temple and of course I will take Mom and Kathyrn on a ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty and the NY sky line. 

Any suggestions on any other must sees in NYC?

Sooo... Mom, Kathryn and I are going to NYC! Yeah I am stoked. We bought the tickets today. We are going to go check out the school and see the cool sites of NYC!

Graduation

So I graduated this weekend. I am really sad to be done in some ways. I am really happy in other ways. I wish other people could have the experiences that I have had there. These are some pictures of people who really mean a lot to me. I am grateful they came up there for me.

 

Brother McGary--my boss. He is one of the most amazing people ever!
