Busy Month

Last week Mitch and I were invited to tour a Mormon Temple that will open next month.  It was very beautiful inside but no pictures were allowed.  Its nearly 60,000 square feet! 



Mackenzie had an 8th grade dance Friday night.  My baby is growing up.

This is some of  her friends that she got ready with...they are doing a kissy face! 

Copper just doing what she does best...when she's not chasing the cats.

Mitch and I had the big shin dig at Midwestern last night.  Its an event that holds a silent auction and raises money for scholarships.  It was fun!  Marcus took this picture and it came out a tad blurry..

A fun date night with my hubby!

This was the center piece on our table...the president came over and told me I could take them home :)  So pretty!

When you are Dean, certain things are just a "given" that you do for the university.  This event is a dinner that you have to pay for.  Each table hosts 10 people...Mitch had to purchase the whole table and then gets to invite people to sit with us.  Important pharmacy big wigs from Fry's, Walgreens, CVS and other businesses all come to these events.  I know it's hard to see but wanted to give Mitch kudos for his name in the Scholarship Donors...we are the second name listed.  We have come a long way from sitting nearly at the back of these events and keeping to ourselves to sitting at the front and chatting with the president of the university.  Good Job Mitch!!! :)
