So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehn, good night

Last night was the MBA Closing Social. Are we really that close to graduation??? Answer = YES! It was a fun evening and - wonder of wonders! - I remembered our camera, so was able to get a few photos of B and some of his MBA dudes (and dudettes!).

The Famous Five -- Bryce with his 1st semester group -- these 5 pretty much lived together their first semester and then chose to continue co-habitation for the rest of their school experience, too. I think they like each other.
DJ, Jeff, Bryce, Catharine, AdamPossibly my new favorite picture. I esp love Adam's face...
Towards the beginning of the night, just as everyone was getting dinner, one of the professors walked up to the stage with his wife and announced that they had a singing telegram for two student's wives. Guess who they were....? Here were are -- "WHO did they just say the singing telegram was for???"Bryce had his photographers ready...
The singing telegram came with a dozen red roses and candy, too!They sang us a John Denver song, "You Fill Up My Senses" in front of the rest of the MBAs and guests. Awesome. I promise I'm happy though this pic is a little ambiguous.
Mostly, I love the look on Bryce's face -- he looks SO pleased with himself! Jeff & Joani, Bryce & me, DJ & Kindra, Charlie & StephanieThey also honored the Hawes Scholars during the program! Though the scholars were all announced several months ago, they recognized them and gave them nifty globe-thingys in big black boxes last night. Very proud of my man about this -- way to go, Brycie!! Trying to get a photo with "BYU" in it... Dave & Bryce -- these two spent a lot of time together doing this, as well as lots of other supply chain-related things and MBA stuff in general...they think they're so funny. :) Apparently the theme for last year's case competition was something like "Sharpening the Saw"... so here they are being the saw and the wood, I think...?
Funny guys.Everyone knows no MBA activity is complete without Oliver the Great!
A photo-op with the one and only...!and this one cracks me up, well, for obvious reasonsBryson, Bryce and Jamieok, must be off -- the children are revolting.... It was a nice evening and unbelievable to think that these two years are almost over...!!!

That is so sweet about the singing telegram! Congrats on being done soon! I know that must be a good feeling! Where are you guys headed next? Ever thought of trying out Eastern PA? :)

Good Luck with everything!

BTW- I love your bangs, the fish nets and I too love the look on Bryce's face- so cute! I love when hubbies go out of the way to be sweet!

wow - graduation is almost here? It seems like I was just reading about you moving out to Utah. So where will life take you next? Obviously you need a brand new state to go to, no repeats -- I love the pics on your side bar. ;)

Yay!! Congratulations! I can't believe you're almost done.

BTW, I think Bryson was in my freshman ward at BYU. Crazy!

Lisa,

Hi! I love catching up with your blog! Oh the nostalgia of MBA graduation. Where is Bryce going to work - I hadn't heard? Okay, so Bryce's classmate Jeff - his wife, she MUST be Joanie Farnsworth. She grew up a street away from me! Small world!
