Happy Easter!

This year we celebrated Easter here in Provo with Sarah, Casey, and Meghan. We started off the evening with some homemade cafe rio salads that were delicious! We then dyed Easter eggs and ate some yummy strawberry pie, except for Brad, he had hard boiled eggs. (He despises fruit). Meghan made us Easter baskets and we got to look for them like when we were little. We also tried a new game for the Wi that Sarah and Casey got. I don't remember the name exactly but we had to perform operations on patients. It was a lot harder than we thought it would be. So here are some pictures from the night. Happy Easter!

Here we are after the party.

Casey and Neville.
The girls.
Casey and Neville again.
As you can see Neville is obviously the cutest of us all so he gets the most pictures.

It's Finally Over

After a long 7 months of non-stop studying for her PHD qualifying exams, Katie has finally taken them and succeeded! She received a high pass on all four of her exams in mathematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and fluids. On top of that she score a 100% on her math and thermodynamics exams. She is the first person in BYU to receive a high pass on all four exams...woo hoo! After a long awaited phone call from her advisor at 6 PM on Wednesday we decided to celebrate. We went out to PF Changs with Sarah and Casey and then to Red Mango. Here's us at PF Changs! Naturally we couldn't all look our best in the same picture so take your pick!

Katie would like to thank everyone for all of their love and support. She thoroughly enjoyed the flowers and morning phone calls from the Kuykendalls and the chocolate covered fruit from mom and dad. Thanks to Devon for the cute video of Preston and Madison. Katie watched it every morning before each exam. And a big thanks to everyone else who kept Katie in their prayers and was rooting for her. We are forever grateful! Love you guys!
