Dan's Graduation, Creighton University!

Last weekend, we took our last trek to Omaha where we watched Dan's graduation and hooding ceremony at Creighton Dental School. What an accomplishment. After four intense years of school, Dan received his doctorate (DDS)! We were very proud. Only hours after his graduation, we were loading up the truck and trailer to move the Pences back to Utah where Dan will be doing a year long residency at the U. We moved them into a cute townhouse in Sandy. Happy days are here again!!!

Sonnie (AKA Sonlet) Graduates from USU

Last Saturday (May 2), We watched Sonnie Leak Humpherys graduate from USU. She graduated with a dual major--Elementary and Early Childhood Education. We are so proud of her. She's everything we've ever hoped and prayed for Mitch to find in a wife. He picked sooooo well (and without any help from his mommy even)!

There's the diploma (except it's empty till August)
It rained (poured) all day long. Sonnie marched through unrelenting rain for the procession earlier Saturday morning. She said her cap got so drenched that it curled under on the edges. Later that afternoon, the sun peeked out for the first time for about 10 minutes just as the Education ceremony ended and right in time for a few good shots.
