Graduation

Through 3 moves, buying 3 homes, my husband graduating from UW and from law school, 4 pregnancies (2 children, 1 stillborn and 1 miscarriage) I finally finished what I started over a decade ago, and graduated from BYU!



Me with three of my sisters.

All five of the Perry girls.

Congratulations, Kristin! I can't believe we started BYU together 12 years ago this fall. We've both come a long way from Gates and Kimball Hall (fortunately). We both found better roommates (in my case it didn't take much - my wife doesn't hide pizza in her bed, she's already one up on Mister Messy you know who). And we have such great families that occupy way more time than ice blocking, tunnel singing, or wrestling matches in the commons area. What a great accomplishment, Kristin!

I'm so excited for you! What an awesome thing to accomplish I'm proud of you!

Although I have to disagree a little with what Jay said--you had AWESOME roommates your freshman and sophomore years!! (well, minus the crazies that seemed to pop up in every apartment.) I think of Aaron as a different kind of roomie :), but just as great as my favorite BYU friends. (Although Jay is TOTALLY right about his crazy roommate--I certainly never envied him.)

Love ya!
