Graduation
The family came in town for Dave's graduation; that's all six parents and several siblings. We had a wonderful time visiting with each other. At commencement Vice President Dick Cheney spoke and I was very impressed with his speech. It turns out his great grandparents were pioneer saints that crossed the plains and settled in Salt Lake! At convocation the future Worldwide CEO of Deloitte and Touche (another big accounting firm), James Quigley spoke. Elder Bednar, who had a son graduate from the Marriott School was also invited to make a few comments at the end. Thursday night we had a luau with really good Hawaiian food. Who knows... this may be the last excuse we have to go to Utah for a very long time! It was a great get together.
California
Dianna and I trekked down to California over the first weekend of May to see my sister Katy receive her endowments. Congrats Katy! We enjoyed seeing her in the temple. Other than the temple, we were pretty much driving in the car and listening to books on CD.
Birthdays
We also celebrated our birthdays this month, Dianna's on the 18th and mine on the 24th. We had friends over for dinner and games. Dianna made a fabulous cake that got eaten up real fast. She is getting really good with her fancy spring-form pans (and thats ok with me!). Dianna gave me a traveler's bag and neck pillow thing for my business trips, and I got Dianna a few kitchen utensils, a cake display thing, some crafts, and the customary plenitude of chocolate. We also want to thank all of you for remembering our birthdays too; we loved hearing from you!
