Friday, April 25, 2008 Jordan graduated from Brigham Young University. His convocation was at 8:00 am so we had to be there by 7. We were all tired but POOR McKAY! He did quite well for getting to bed late, getting up too early and missing naps! Lets just say Saturday was a very good nap day and he has been asleep by 8:30 each night since then! Anyway, everything went well and Jordan didn't trip as he came down the stairs after receiving his 'diploma', though his sleeve did get caught on the railing and caught him by surprise. It was quite chilly that morning and so we all had to wear coats most of the day.
Despite the less than perfect weather (but still better than snowing like the day before) we enjoyed being on the beautiful campus of BYU. I must admit it brought back memories of when I graduated 4 years ago. I had not been in the new Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni Building so we had to check it out. Luckily, we got there during the time when President and Sister Samuelson were meeting students. It is a beautiful building with great views in every direction. I thought it was pretty neat to see Sister Hinckley's chair made it into President Hinckley's building 'so they could be together again' as President Hinckley mentioned when he dedicated his building.
We enjoyed having Jordan's parents in town for his graduation. I especially appreciated having help during the convocation. A baby is one thing but a tired baby... another situation all together. We enjoyed spending time with them and had a good time trying out the Happy Sumo for lunch. McKay liked showing off his cheezy grin and courtesy laugh and we all enjoyed laughing at him! He is such a people person no matter where we go people ask how old he is and comment that he is so cute and a 'little man'. He makes people smile.
Jordan is thrilled to be done with school and we are anxious to be able to make a decision for our future employment. Stay tuned for more information on that subject. (I would say when I would post about it but I would just be wrong... we thought we would know weeks ago!)

Congrats!!! We're so excited for you to be done with school, and have to "grow up"! I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up (after motherhood that is.) Good thing I've got another baby on the way, it will make motherhood last longer, and put off growing up a little longer!
Congratulations Jordan! I have no doubt that you are so relieved to be done with school! Way to go!
Yaaaaee Jordan, and Maria too! How many couples can tell their children that they are both BYU graduates!? That's quite an accomplishment, way to go. kelli
Congrats, Jordan & Maria--on graduating AND the new job AND selling your condo!!! What a big week! When are you starting the new job? CA sounds like a great location--new and somewhat between AZ and ID :)
Congratulations Jordan! I bet it feels SO GOOD to be done!
Congratulations! What an accomplishment! Good luck with your new job. Isn't it cool being a member of the church--you have instant family.
Thanks for organizing the McCleve cousins party. What a fun evening!
