The Call I Have Been Waiting For....


It was ten o'clock a.m. Friday morning and I was in the middle of making Ryan pancakes and eggs before he was headed off to work. My phone rang with a mysterious number on the caller I.D. Like most people, I didn't answer it thinking if they left a message I will just check that. Well, they did and to my surprise guess who it was???? Dr. Tollefson from the MSW program at Utah State University offering me a position in the program for this coming Fall!!!!! I was so elated! I was jumping up and down, hugging Ryan, and just acting like a little school girl. That's right people, I start Grad school in August and couldn't be happier! I am so excited for this new adventure in life and excited for the opportunities that it holds for Ryan and I! People think I am crazy that I am excited to be going back to school. Ryan keeps telling me, "Better you than me." But I couldn't be happier. Thanks to everyone for all their support for us. With Ryan graduating and me starting up again, it couldn't have come at a better time. In two years, you may call me Meghan Gudmundson, MSW, LCSW.

He did it!!!!

Well everyone! The time has come, the party has started! Ryan graduated this past Saturday from USU with a Bachelor's in Business. (Well, he still has to take two classes for five weeks this summer but then he is completely done!) It was such a great ceremony and we were all very excited for him and proud of him! We knew you could do it Ry! Congrats and good luck.

Zander was sure proud of his uncle. Zander definitely was some eye candy to the younger ladies there. Seriously, look at that suit. Who wouldn't ohhhhh and ahhhhh.....

Proud wifey!

We were glad that my family could make it up to support Ryan and his big day!

Part of Ryan's proud family. There were many missing and we missed each and every one of you!

The proud parents! That is a stoll of gratitude that Ryan gave to his mom as a symbol for his thanks to her for her support throughout school. (Don't worry, I got one too)

Ryan's proud grandparents! We were very happy they could make it and support Ry on his big day as well.
All smiles after receiving his diploma.

Makin sure he doesn't trip while walking across the stage :)

It was literally like pulling teeth to make Ryan go to his graduation and walk but I am very grateful he did it. Here is a picture that needs no explanation.

My business man ready to finish off college and receive his diploma.
Well Ry, I am very excited to see where life takes us to next. Hopefully a good paying job......or cruises around the world. (Yea ,right!) Keep up the good work and you have always made us proud and will always make us proud. Keep smiling.
