Justin USU Graduation

Justin's Utah State graduation trip was filled with so many meaningful moments ~ big ones, little ones, unexpected ones ~ so deeply grateful for all of it!
From the Delta flights there and home (not having seats for us and then they did), seeing Nick’s cool truck, all the amazing things J has done and experienced the last 4 years… and he is like the king at Tandori!  Hiking 2x ~ once with Jill who will be at 29029 with me and doing the distance and steepness of one loop.  And the other with Jeff and Justin – so fun being with my oldest and youngest as we soaked in the beauty of the Wind Caves.  Seeing some of the Neubergers.  G&G Austin coming out, even though they can barely move, and them taking us back to the airport ~ and we made it.  Oh my goodness, I could go on and on about the countless miracles and blessings we experienced in less than 2 days.

Nick's cool truck
 

Bowling fun ~ Justin won!

First Delta standby since ASA and got to sit together, hike with Jill (same height and distance as Snowbasin - steep and hard), dandelions, dinner with Neubergers

Koop is potty trained and earned his slide👏
