Chris and I have our first COLLEGE GRADUATE!!! Ethan graduated high school with his Associates Degree in 2020 and 2.5 short years later, he graduated from BYUI with his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. He interned for Intel this past summer in AZ and was offered a full time position (plus a huge sign-on bonus) to come work for them full-time upon graduation.
We braved the cold as we flew up to Provo, UT to meet up with Carlie and then drive up to Rexburg, ID for the big event. Funny travel story--we stopped at a gas station in McAmmon, ID to fill up with gas. Chris set his phone on top of the car to warm up his hands. He forgot it was there and off we drove. As we were getting onto the freeway on ramp I heard something slide off the roof of the car. I even asked, "What was that?" We all assumed ice and kept on driving. About 10 minutes after that, Chris realized what he had done. I immediately tracked the phone's location and saw that we were getting further and further from it. I called the gas station and an attendant went out by the gas pumps to look all around for the the phone but did not find it. We were already running late and didn't want to miss the ceremony so we kept on driving--we made it just in time. We had already decided to drive all the way back to Provo that same night so 7 hours later we returned to the same gas station (in the dark) to search for the phone. It's pretty amazing how accurate "Find My Phone" is! Chris and Ethan were walking along the on ramp and saw they were getting close. Ethan called the phone and thankfully the phone landed face up so it lit right up and THEY FOUND IT!!! The phone was miraculously in perfect condition--not even a crack in the screen. And no one had picked it up!!!
So here we are at BYUI for Ethan's graduation--we even got to meet and sit with his cute girlfriend, Doran, the whole time. We like her lots:)
To say we are proud is a HUGE understatement. Way to go E.💙💙💙
