Graduation and Grandma and Papa time!!!

The kids have had SO much fun with Grandma and Papa here while they came out for Richard's graduation.  Richard's sisters Megan and Michelle, Michelle's husband and daughter, his parents and his grandpa came out to visit for a few days.  We had a lovely weekend with everyone.  Little Sophia was the only cousin they got to see this weekend but it was fun to see how big she's gotten. Richard  received his J.D. on May 20 and it was wonderful!  :)  I am so happy for him and proud of what he's accomplished. And we've heard some fun news!  Aunt Michelle doesn't have to be deployed because she's pregnant!  She's due sometime in January and that is such joyful news.  I love to hear about couples getting married and I really enjoy hearing about friends and family expecting babies.  Its such a joy and a blessing and a truly life altering course.  :)  Let me think...Aunt Emily is due in just a few days, Aunt Jessica in October and Aunt Michelle in January. We know Em is expecting a girl but we're kinda hoping the other two are boys since Cliffton only has one boy cousin on each side of the family.  Girl Power!
We are hoping, searching, praying, writing, searching and praying some more in our quest to find employment.  I am leaning towards the South - Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, etc. Yet, we are keeping our eyes open to any possibilities for new lawyers.  He's taking the NY bar in July.  We are planning to move back to Utah after Cliffton finishes Kindergarten and live there until we find work. I just hope that we find work soon.  :/  NY has been quite the ride.  I will miss it.  The Freeport branch of our church has been just incredible.  Its hard to leave friends, isn't it? 
Thank you to all of our friends here.  What a beautiful connection we've made!  Thank you to family and friends who've supported Richard in his quest for a J.D.  He did it!!!  Onto more adventures....



I hope I can get more pictures from my awesome in-laws later.  I know Darrell has some better photos.  It was a happy day.  We love Richard W. Stacey!!!

That's so exciting! So, he takes the bar in July, so when do you move to Utah? Does he have to take another bar exam depending on the state he works in, or does the one in NY cover it all?

We had such a great time with all of you. Love the pics.
We want to see some from the tough mudder that show Janelle. Congrats again on graduation!
