And the Wife of the Year Award Goes To...

The last time Spencer dropped out of school I told him, "Don't ever talk to me about school again. I love you the way you are. No more school!" When he decided to go back to school, he told me just as church was about to begin so that I could not kill him. It took me two weeks before I could even talk about it. When I did I said, "You are on your own! Don't ask me to make dinner. Don't ask me to get the kids out of the house. Don't ask me to proof a paper. If you want to go to school, you figure it out. I've given all I'm giving to your schooling. And if you ever graduate, I will throw a huge party and invite everyone we've ever known to attend."

I'm sorry to admit it, but I was true to my word. No help.

But we had a great party last night! A woman from our single's ward, a couple from the first ward we attended when we were married, a family from the ward we attended when we first came back to Utah, a couple of families from our ward in Magna, family members, co-workers, and current ward and stake friends came to celebrate with us last night. We thank you all for being such wonderful friends! We love you!

See you in two years when it's Taylor's turn...

I'm so bummed to have missed this great celebration! Here's how the conversation went down:

Jess: (as I am reading this post)"Tayler, did we get invited to this graduation party at Aundrea's?"

Tay: (as he is falling into unconscienceness) Oh yea, sorry, it was Saturday.

Jess: "Thanks a lot!"

Tay: "uuhhh. yea. sorry. " (snore)

So sorry! I would have come! If I had known! Small communication failure these days between this husband and wife...
