last first day...

we just had spencer's last first day at byu. this is a major event for us because it means we're that much closer to medical school starting. it's really exciting and nerve-racking too.

here's spencer's first day of school picture for this semester. i'm glad he likes having the pictures. unfortunately this is the second faked first day of school picture for spencer. last semester we forgot, so we took a picture of his second first day (tuesday classes were different from monday classes). this semester benny and i had an appointment to go to before spencer left for class, so i had him put his jacket and backpack on to stage it. we couldn't do a second first day because he doesn't really have one.

this semester is the best. spencer only has classes on mondays and wednesdays - and those aren't even completely crazy. tuesdays he's able to do some lab assisting that he really enjoys and there's really no work that needs to come home from those labs.

we're really grateful to finish up our time at byu like this. we're excited to be able to relax a little bit more and enjoy lots of free time together as a family and with our families before we leave for the midwest. what's really great is that we get to celebrate weekend-eve on tuesdays now! we had a great kick-off last night by going to the jazz game (thanks, again, dirk and lilly ann!) and staying the night in draper. and now spencer's done with classes already and ready to take it easy this weekend.
