Month in Review: May

May seems like it was years ago! Can't believe I'm just now catching up. 

As most know, Matt was on the BYU Rugby team this year. True to form, the Cougars carried on the tradition and won the National Championship! Even though Matt didn't get to play in the game, I'm so proud of him and all the work he put into the team this last year. I'm always so impressed that he made it onto a championship team without ever playing rugby before. Seriously, who does that?! My husband does. He's not sure if he'll choose to be on the team next year or not, but either way, this last year was a fun experience.

May is the time for Graduations! The Green side had THREE graduations this year: Nikita graduated from the University of Utah (double degree in communications and political science), and None and Nani graduated from Provo and West Jordan High School, respectively. **Okay, Nani's graduation was technically the first week in June.** It was a busy time, but it was so fun to celebrate all of these big achievements! I'm so excited to see what each of them has next for their lives.

Matt is still working with the young men in our ward, and he loves it. He got to go on a scout campout with them and try "bouldering" for the first time.

Memorial Day weekend was pretty low key (which is how I like most of my holidays). My parents came into town, which is always fun! We went shopping, went out to breakfast at Ruth's Diner (AMAZING), and enjoyed being all together. Matt and I also stopped by the Provo Carnival with Neeley and Shishir. We won some pretty lame prizes and it was overpriced, but nothing says "summer" like a carnival!
