Congratulations, Ryan!!!

Let it be known that on Saturday, June 19th, 2010 at 11:30 a.m., Ryan officially completed his MBA!!!

For the last two years, Ryan has devoted almost every Friday night from 6-10pm and Saturday morning from 8-noon to school. Not only did he spend those hours in class, but he worked full-time, spent hours after work every night studying, got excellent grades, and still devoted time to his calling, family, and me. I really appreciate him and his dedication to everything he does. Whenever he faces a challenge, he doesn't give up, but rather he works even harder to figure things out... which is definitely a quality that I admire about him!

Anyway, it still doesn't seem real to either of us that we now have our weeknights and especially our weekends back! To be quite honest, I think I am just as excited (or maybe even more excited) as Ryan about this. But we thought we would try to make it real by having a fun Saturday. We started off by going straight to his parent's house for some afternoon swimming, followed by a yummy dinner at P.F. Changs. It was great to just relax and not worry about what assignment he already needs to be starting!

Congrats, Ry!!

Ryan and Craig made some serious waves with the boogie boards:

This picture doesn't even do it justice... but it looked like a wave pool!

Hopefully Amy wasn't planning on keeping her hair dry!
