Hotlanta!

After loafing in Utah for a couple of days (more like a couple of weeks--thanks Jay and Kathi!) I drove home to California to unpack my car and boxes. I had decided that I should ship a lot of my junk instead of carefully overpacking my little car. My plan somewhat worked minus the fact that my little car was still overpacked. But I made it safety to California with 11 Fedex'd boxes and 1 carload. 

I unpacked everything and then repacked my duffle bag to catch a plane ride out to Atlanta, GA. I had four days in California to "go through" my things which turned out to be a rearranging activity =D. After catching the plane ride and enjoying 4.5 hours of watching some movies on my iPod, I made it to Hotlanta. I didn't realize that sweating all day long was a normal thing. My sister told me that it was raining out here so I brought jeans and sweatshirts. I wore jeans the first day and sandals are frequently the shoe of choice. I had to make a stop to buy some shorts to show the world my Utah-white legs. I guess I didn't realize that there is difference between Utah rain and Georgia rain. 

GRADUATION!!

Before I get to graduation, I have to post some pictures of the testing center line on Wednesday April 22nd at 4:00 pm. the last day to take finals at the testing center. I was taking some exams to the testing center to be graded and I found this line. I have passed through five years of BYU without standing in a long line at the testing center. Luckily I had my camera handy--this is better than taking pictures of campus.

Here is the line along side of the JSB
The line extends passed the BNSN and ESC

Here are the pictures from graduation. I had a fun time listening to Dr. Albrecht as I sat on the front room. The whole ceremony took three hours--way too long to graduate from school. I think that it has mostly to do with the MBA's networking right up until the time of the ceremony began.

Here I am with my good friends Roy S. and Kevin B. after the 3 hours of ceremony

Roy's wife Brenna. I'll miss watching Law and Order and the Biggest Loser!

The proud parents! They contributed a lot to my academic success. Thanks!!

Update...

2009!!

I am one year older this new year. I am 2 5. Quarter of a century. I decided to buy myself a watch so I can at least feel like I look my age. I bought the watch up in San Francisco with my brother, his wife, and his sister-in-law. I did get some "grown-up" clothing for Christmas, i.e., anything with a collar since I tend to only wear t-shirts and hoodies.

While at home, I visited the Heimuli/Wolfgramm family--one of my all-time favorite families. I was sad to hear that they will be moving from Sunnyvale. I think they planned to leave town as soon as I came back!! Although I don't have any pictures from Christmas, I found some photos I took with them a couple of years ago.

Kaivai and me (the oldest brother of the family)

Ana and me (the mom of the family and my old sunday school teacher)

My good friend since nursery, David, moved to Vietnam on December 28. He came over with his parent's to my brother's open house. I am happy that he moved out of Utah (!!) but it's too bad that he is so far away.


Per mom's request, I have posted pictures from the competition.

The only picture we have of the group in Disneyland. We probably should have taken more pictures. Wouldn't mind being in Florida right about now since the temperature is 10 degrees.

Here is the picture of our group holding our "check." Kelsie, Dr. Worsham, Jon, Michael and me.
