I honestly can't remember if I've mentioned that Dave has been deployed for a while or not, but he has. He was able to take a few weeks of leave and come to Utah to spend time with us. We packed so many fun things into that time that I'm not sure if we ever slept! We were able to do a local "hike" if you can even call it that, it was more of a nature walk. It was nice to just get outdoors with the family though!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to try to tell this as vividly as I remember.<br />
I'm also purposely leaving out things that are too private for the Internet. Those details are for my private blog ;) It was a very scary day for us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So one of the nights we were in AZ we spent in the ER. IT ended up being about nine hours actually.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all fast asleep. I was in the bed, Presley in the pack-n-play across the room and Kyson was asleep on the floor. At about 1:30 AM Kyson woke up really shaky and thirsty. I got him a drink and sent him back to bed. About twenty minutes later he woke up in a sheer panic and straight up screaming! I woke up confusing and freaking out before my eyelids could even open. Presley slept through it somehow, which is crazy because she's one of the lightest sleepers in the world. I took Kyson downstairs thinking maybe his blood sugars were low (hence the shaking! Diabetes runs heavily in my family so my instincts were kicking in.) so I tried getting him to eat something but it wasn't working. Nothing was calming him down. He was screaming in pain, begging me to help him and oh how I wish I could've! Eventually my sister came downstairs and tried to help. We gave him some Tylenol, got him to lay down and tried giving him water, rubbing his back, turned on cartoons, anything to try and calm him down. Nothing was working! My BIL gave him a Priesthood blessing and as soon as it was over I knew I needed to take him to the hospital. We loaded up and took off. We arrived at Banner Baywood Medical Center just a few minutes later. Luckily for us there wasn't a single person in the waiting room. We got all checked in and because of his symptoms and how unresponsive he was the doctors met us in the room. They took one look at him and knew exactly what it was. He was stung by an Arizona Bark Scorpion. The symptoms he had were shaking profusely, loss of speech, couldn't control his tongue, fever, sweating, hallucinating, he couldn't walk or even stand and a few other things. They determined because of how bad his symptoms were he was stung at least three times.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And then it hit me, Presley was still asleep in the room it happened. SO we frantically called my BIL to get her out of that room asap! He did and immediately started tearing that room apart looking for the scorpion. Wanna know where he found it? Underneath my pillow! UGH!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, it turns out that Anti Venom costs thousands of dollars PER DOSE! And they never know how many doses it'll take before it works. So we decided to do it the old fashioned way. Some good ole' Morphine and lots of rest!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as Dave found out and knew we were ok he called his Dad in North Dakota to tell what happened. His Dad, who is a Bishop made some phone calls and got in touch with the Bishop of the area the hospital was in and asked if he could pay us a visit. He came and he brought the missionaries with him. They gave Kyson another Priesthood Blessing and went on their way. I can't even describe how much it meant to me knowing that complete strangers were so willing to come help us out and be there for us. My BIL also got his Home Teachers wife to babysit Presley and my nephew while my sister and BIL went to work. I was so thankful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyson eventually started to calm down and the hallucinations stopped. He still couldn't walk and I literally had to carry him to the bathroom every time he had to pee, which was 8 times in 9 hours might I add, ha! After a few hours he was able to eat some chicken, drink some juice and lay still. They wouldn't release him until he was able to walk again. I was determined to get him walking again, so we took walks often around the ER. The nurses began to call him the Scorpion King and let me tell you, Kyson loved it!</div>

We had so many phone calls, texts, and messages from people I hadn't heard from in months. News spreads fast in my family and it was nice that everyone was praying for him. We finally got the ok to go home and I was thrilled!! It took Kyson three days to stop shaking, walk normal, get his strength back and get back to the happy kid he was! This was literally the scariest experience for me as a mom! I am so glad we chose that hospital because the staff there treated us better than a hospital staff has ever treated us! I was 150% happy with our visit. You could just tell that the doctors and nurses loved their job and were happy to be helping us! They even called a few hours after we left to check up on him. Talk about customer service!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For Spring Break this year, I took the kids to Arizona to visit my sister and her family. We had so much fun! We spent about 10 days there and spent our time eating the best food, shopping (I forgot how fun it is shopping with my sister!!), swimming, going to parks, splash pads, and even the Phoenix Zoo. We spent one day in the Emergency Room but that deserves its own post! Overall we had fun and really didn't want to leave! So every time we go to Mesa there's an entire list of restaurants we like to hit up. They have some amazing food there, I tell you what! So of course we had to indulge the entire time we were there. And of course Bahama Bucks is a must!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving on.. My sister and I went on a shopping spree, ok Presley went with us too, and seriously it was so fun just taking our time going from store to store. Browsing! Oh my gosh, it was heaven! And then she took me to the cutest home goods store and a seriously awesome antique store where I wanted to buy everything! I will be back to these two stores someday with a truck and suitcase full of cash! #takeallmymoney</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh my goodness, I almost forgot. IKEA!! I went there for the first time and I just wish I could live there! That place is a house wife's dream land! I walked away with more than I thought I would buy and still drool over my purchases to this day! Again, #takeallmymoney</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took the kids to a splash pad/park one day and other then Presley getting into a fight with a brick wall, they had a blast! And I got to tan my whiter than snow legs for a few hours!</div>

Another day we spent at the Phoenix Zoo. Everyone but Kyson had the best time haha. He was in the worst mood and I still have no idea why! But we had fun anyways. It was all of our first time to the Phoenix Zoo and it did not disappoint! I LOVE seeing the flamingos and the elephants. They've always been my favorite but I must say, the giraffe exhibit they have is pretty amazing!</div>

I'm officially in my last year of my twenties!! As of February anyways, ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to spend it with my best friend in northern Utah and it was just the little getaway I needed! We went shopping, lots of shopping, ate Cheesecake Factory and other good food, and just enjoyed hanging out. It's been forever since we've seen each other so it was so nice just having girl talk!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really bad at this whole blogging thing.. I just constantly forget to keep up with it! So let's go way back to New Years Day and how we spent it shooting lots of guns! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we spent Christmas up in North Dakota with a bunch of family we spent a lot of the time outdoors. A couple family members got guns for Christmas so everyone was dying to get out and try them out. Between the three families out there, there was around 10-15 different guns to shoot. It was so fun! I shot multiple guns that I've never shot before, including a sniper rifle that had a good kick! Dave laughed at me because every time I shot it I screamed haha it was SO loud!</div>

Presley fell asleep on the drive out there and slept in the truck the entire time we were out there (a couple of hours!). We had a movie playing in the truck so the kids would go inside to thaw out and keep entertained. It was a great setup! Kyson was able to shoot a real gun for the first time and he loved it! It was a great experience for him and for Dave! He actually shot a few different guns.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We were originally going to spend day two down in Washington DC but decided since we loved NYC so much we wanted to spend more time there. This day wasn't as busy as day one. We spent the whole day just wandering around not really doing anything specific. We drove up to Central Park where we planned on going Ice Skating but we couldn't find any parking and we just weren't up for walking a long distance in such cold weather. We're giant party poopers. Ha! We kind of purposely got lost in Upper Manhattan and it was so much fun to just see life in Manhattan! We made our way down to the Empire State Building and Times Square where we decided to get out of the warm car and walk around, do some shopping, ate some more food and just enjoy the city. It was Valentine's Day so all the restaurants were crazy busy! We decided on some brickoven style pizza right in Time's Square and holy crap! It was the best pizza I've ever had! The wait time was well worth it! Dave and I ate an entire pizza plus garlic knots in about 10 minutes hahaha It was that good!</div>

the rest of the day was spent getting lost in downtown Manhattan, shopping our bums off and also freezing our bums off! It was the best way to see NYC, although I'd much rather visit during the warmer months next time! I can't wait to go back!</div>

I can't believe it's already been a month since I was walking around NYC! I flew out to New Jersey to visit Dave for a few days while he was there for combat training. Since it was only an hour from NYC we spent a couple days playing tourists in the Big Apple. You guys, that city is insane!!! I still can't believe just how dense the city is. Every inch of Manhattan Island is being used in some way or another, whether it's a building, a street, or a bridge. I swear there is zero negative space! Everybody kept saying how dirty of a city it is, but growing up close to Las Vegas I beg to differ. Vegas is way worse! In my opinion :)</div>

Anyways, as soon as we got there we parked the car in the first parking garage we came across that was remotely close to Ground Zero. We paid $40 for an hour of parking! Yikes! We went and walked around Ground Zero and let me tell you, it was such an emotional, spiritual experience. It was heartbreaking standing where so many lives were lost! Because it was so cold during the few days we were there (I'm talking a high of 13 degrees with a wind chill of -11!) we walked across the street to a shopping mall just so we could warm up. We quickly decided since it was so cold that we'd just drive everywhere instead of walk because we're babies about freezing cold weather! We got back to the warm car and drove around looking at sights and made our way to the ferry for the Statue of Liberty.</div>

Of course we needed to try some New York style pizza so we found the closest pizza parlor we could find since we were starving! We walked in and realized it was like a fancy style pizza parlor. But because we didn't want to go back out in the cold we decided to stay and give it a try. Not a minute after being served bread and oil Dave knocked the bowl of oil on the floor and it shattered. Oil went everywhere!! You could see the employees killing us with their eyes. It wasn't very good bread anyways haha. The pizza however, was amazing! We walked back to our car and noticed we got our first parking ticket. $65!!! So stupid. </div>

The rest of the day was spent shopping, shopping and more shopping! Seriously shopping in NYC is a dream! Evry store out there is in New York so the selection is never ending! A lot of the day was also spent just walking/driving around taking it all in. I won't even mention how many times we got lost ;)</div>

New Years was spent in North Dakota surrounded by family. I love my in laws so much! We spent NYE having an indoor BBQ at my in laws friends house. We talked, played games and had the missionaries over with us. It was fun but I really wanted to just go home to my in laws house. Once we got back, we watched movies, played games and lit off a couple floating lanterns. It was FREEZING outside!! I mean in the negatives! So we lit off two and called it good. Mainly because I literally couldn't feel my fingers. I had to look at them just to make sure they were still there. SO cold!</div>

The rest of the night we just hung out indoors where it was warm. Dave and I did go out for a drive trying to see the northern lights without success. One of these times while I'm in ND I will see those dang lights!! It may not sound like much but we had the best time.</div>

Last weekend my nephew got baptized up in northern Utah! I'm so proud of him. So, while we were up there I took the kids to the Midway Ice Castle and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It was so much bigger than I imagined! Anna and Elsa were there but the line was stupid long so we just waved to them as we walked by. It was way too cold to stand in that long line, especially since us Texan's don't own warm clothing! We wandered around and snapped pictures, enjoying each others company and oohing and awing over everything we saw. There were so many people there so we didn't stay for long. Hello anxiety! As we were finding the exit a little girl ran past Presley knocking her over into the snow. Presley got so wet that she just started crying because obviously she was freezing! I felt so bad for her. Luckily we were already on our way out so we didn't miss anything. Thank you Christa for coming along and helping with my crazy kids! This Whole single parenting thing is still new to me.</div>

After the castles we headed to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Presley flirted with a bus boy the whole time, we waited for over an hour to be seated but the food was well worth it! Again Christa, thanks for helping me with my crazy, impatient kids! They love you!</div>

I haven't really shared anything about this yet but last month Dave went off to combat training on the east coast. He'll be deploying in a couple months so while he's gone, the kids and I moved back to Utah to be with family. As much as I hate being away from Dave we've really enjoyed being back in sunny St George! Oh how I love seeing mountains every day! We've been here for just a couple weeks and we've been having the best time. My goal was to keep the kids, and myself busy and distracted from missing Dave. Utah has so much to offer that I really don't think that'll be a problem. In fact, I've already made up a list of 24 things I want to do while in Utah!! And those are just things I could think of off the top of my head. Ha, oops! This year will be full of hiking, sight seeing and fun events that take place all over Utah. Add the list of fun things we plan on doing outside of Utah and it's shaped up to be a heck of a busy year! Just what we need! Obviously I'd rather Dave be here to experience it all with us but I'll take what I can get. Now, if this deployment would hurry up and finish, that would be great!</div>

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas and New Year up in North Dakota with my in laws and we had the best time ever! We had a beautiful white Christmas!! We decorated cookies, had a Star Wars marathon and even had a private showing of the new Star Wars, had a gift wrapping party, a Christmas dinner with over 20 people, and so many other fun things! It was a real busy couple of weeks but isn't that what makes the holidays fun? Because we did so much I'll break this down into two maybe even three posts. But for now, here's a glimpse at our Christmas! A lot of these were just taken off my instagram, so no judgments!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While we were in Utah for my grandpa's funeral last October, we decided we needed a fun night our with friends. We took the kids to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point and had the best time! I don't get to see my best friend, since the 3rd grade, nearly as often as I'd like so I was really excited to meet up with her! The whole night was basically just chasing the kids around all night. It was freezing cold (for us Texan's anyways!) but we didn't really care that much because we were having too much fun! Kyson played soccer almost half the time we were there. Ha! He tried his hardest to make a goal and ended up only making a single goal. Poor kid! Thank you Christa and Thad for joining us!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so behind on my blogging that I have to scroll through all my pictures to remember what all we did last year. I can't remember off the top of my head! Sorry if things are out of order and all over the place but with packing, moving, selling the house, and unpacking I've been a little distracted. But now that I've settled into my new temporary home I have more time to play catch up! Hooray! So, last October Dave and I attended the Air Force Ball. They held it a few weeks late for who knows why. It's usually held on the AF's birthday. It was perfect weather for a ball, since it's always held in a giant hangar, so it's partly outside. I was obsessed with my dress and my shoes and my hair haha. It's become so much fun searching for the perfect dress every year. Although the pictures kind of suck because, phone's just don't have the best picture quality!</div>

By the time we got around to eating, all the good food was already gone. So we ditched the last half of the ball and ate at Olive Garden instead. We got a lot of funny looks from people wondering why the heck we were so dressed up. But it was kind of fun going out on a date all fancied up! And seriously, have you ever had Olive Garden's donuts (can't remember what they're really called!) with raspberry sauce? To. Die. For. Dave always looks so handsome in his blues and I love being able to dance the night away with him. I look forward to the ball every year and I'm already looking forward to the next one :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent a weekend relaxing at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas and holy moly! It was amazing! It's huuuuge and so nice! We spent most of the time poolside at their little private water park and the rest of the time exploring everything the resort had to offer. We watched an artist create a freaking masterpiece with spray paint in front of our eyes! It was insane! This resort has so much to offer and everything is so nice and relaxing. I seriously can't explain how much we enjoyed ourselves!</div>

The day before Presley's birthday my sweet grandpa passed away. I was extremely close to him and it was so hard on me. His passing was the first one that really affected me the much. I spent my whole childhood just minutes away from my grandparents and I went to their house every day after school. I love all my grandparents but my grandpa and I had a special relationship that I will never forget.<br />

We traveled back to Utah to attend his funeral and I'm so glad I was able to make it. I got to see family members that I haven't seen in years! My grandpa was a WW2 vet and he really bonded with Dave about the military over the last few years. They would talk about it for hours every time they saw each other. I could listen to his stories forever! So once he passed we were able to inherit a lot of his old military items and things that meant the world to my grandpa, which now means the world to me. We brought home a lot of priceless items that I'm so excited about!<br />
<br />
Because he was a WW2 vet he had a military style funeral and Dave was able to be a part of it. It was such a neat experience and I'm so glad he did it!<br />

Has it really been since July since I last blogged? Oh dear, I have SO much to update on! To be honest I can't remember everything we've done since July so I'll just start with Presley's birthday in October. Can you believe my baby girl turned two? I had some mommy and me photo's taken and I just love them, but I'll share those another time. We kept her birthday pretty low key. In fact we didn't even invite anyone over to celebrate! I made her some cupcakes and we opened gifts etc. Ya know, the normal birthday activities! She was spoiled rotten and she knew it!<br />

She's a;ready changed so much since her birthday just a few months ago. Time is going way too fast and my momma heart just can't take it. I'm so happy she's apart of our family, these last two years have been the best two years of my life! Kyson and Presley are my world!<br />
<br />
So a few of my New Years Resolutions for the year have been to blog/instagram more. Dave is deploying soon and it's my way of keeping him more involved. I'm off to a bad start ha! BUt I promise I'll do better. So if you'd like to follow along with my instagram, @denise_madsen, I'd love that. I''m always looking for more people to follow!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have loved Sea World since I was a kid! Who doesn't love going to Sea World, ya know besides PETA? Ha! We took the kids to Sea World in San Antonio for the day and it just happened to be Military Day so we totally got in F R E E of charge. Fist bump anyone? It was Kyson's second time and Presley's first. Kyson was in such a bad mood though. He kept saying things like, "I don't know how to have fun." and "I don't think I can smile." oh it was so irritating but I really didn't want his attitude to ruin my time there. He eventually got over his unhappiness and ended having a blast! Presley didn't care about the animals, she just wanted to run around. Typical. Our first stop was to the Azul show. Dave and I loved it last time we were there and it's still our favorite show. There are some seriously talented people in this world! We walked around, watched some more shows, rode some rides, shopped and ate crappy food that was oh so delicious! Presley went on her first thrill ride and it was freakin' cute to watch. Even though she could barely see over the bar she had so much fun!</div>

We were all so exhausted once we left. So exhausted that we went straight to dinner! Big mistake. Presley was so cranky! We did discover how much she loves ranch though. Especially slurping it through a straw. <i>#yuck </i>Whatever keeps you happy, kid.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went back to the hotel and went swimming, vegged out and just relaxed the rest of the day.</div>

It was fun San Antonio! Can't wait until next time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We did the whole touristy thing while in SA. We hit up The Alamo, Riverwalk and Sea World. It was so fun and so exhausting! What are vacations for am I right? It was my in laws first time going and since Dave and I have been before we played tour guide and we were awful at it! We got lost more than once, didn't know what the heck we were talking about and ditched them on more than one occasion. Oops! But we had fun and we made friends with not one but two squirrels! They let us feed them out of our hands even though we weren't supposed to. We're rebels! This day was spent at the Alamo/Riverwalk and even though I didn't take a single picture (these were all taken by my niece. Thanks Tayle!) we had such a fun time. I laugh constantly when I'm with my in laws. They're the funniest people! Dave and I love history so visiting places like this is so fun for us.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to San Antonio for a few days for my brother in law's Basic Training graduation. We had so much fun even though the humidity about killed us. The drive to SA was amazing. The kids slept the entire time and the drive was gorgeous! Fields and fields of wild flowers covered both sides of the road. THE ENTIRE WAY! It was magical! So gorgeous! When we got there, we immediately went and visited Brandon. It was so weird seeing him in uniform for the first time. Let me just say this, Basic Training has changed immensely since Dave went through. Seriously, it's almost embarrassing how pampered they are these days. They're not allowed to do push-ups? Because it's too hot? REALLY!? Brandon was telling us all about how easy it is haha. I could go on and on about it but I won't. Anyway, we went through some military museums, did some shopping, ate some food and spent time with family who was also there supporting him. The next day we went to his actual graduation. It was kind of neat seeing one since I wasn't there for Dave's. We were crammed into the stands with two tired and restless kids who ended up dumping a bottle of water all over the poor guy sitting in front of us. I'm sure he didn't mind too much since it was so hot! You're welcome, sir. We took some pictures, met up for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings and then went back to the hotel and did some swimming. We did a lot of swimming while we were there. It's always fun escaping reality and going on a little getaway. We love San Antonio and always have the best time there. </div>

We had a pretty laid back 4th of July. We grilled up some pineapple pork chops made some crock pot bbq baked beans and snacked on some festive snacks but other than that? It was pretty low key. Dave was voluntold he would be the "shop chief" of mid shift (graveyard shift) a few months ago so he's on a completely different schedule than us. Sleep all day, work all night. It's been awful!! So we do the best we can with what little time and energy he has with us. So we took a family nap, I baked and cooked all morning and we just relaxed all day. I would have loved to get out on do some fun outdoorsy things but I knew Dave was completely exhausted and needed his rest. The food was delish and the nap was pretty amazing so I'm not complaining <i>too</i> much! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did a tiny photo shoot to show off the kids cute 'merica outfits. Ha it was a disaster. But such is life with a wannabe teenager and a toddler in full force! Fireworks were banned within city limits and even the city passed on putting on a fireworks show this year so we missed out on the fireworks. I was totally bummed but we made up for it with a Back to the Future marathon ha.</div>

I know I'm way behind on updating this blog, trust me I have so much too blog about and no time to do it! I'm updating way out of order but I'm doing the best I can. Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this year for Father's Day, Dave informed me that he wanted a nice watch, the day before FD!! So we went looking and didn't find anything he liked. Our town has the worst shopping! So we looked online and still couldn't find anything he liked that was in regs (military!). So here we are a few later and I still owe him a watch. We're just waiting for the watch to find us at this point! Anyways, so Dave didn't <i>actually</i> get a Father's Day gift, <i>yet! </i>But I did spoil him through his belly. I made some apple turnovers for breakfast (YUM!!) that turned out so amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We spent the day napping, watching movies and doing absolutely nothing, per Dave's request. I did talk him into a few pictures, just for social media. haha you're welcome! Dave had to work Father's Day night so we only got half a day with him. It was a great day nonetheless!</div>

I just want to throw it out there that I nailed it on the first try taking this picture!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent a lot of this day at the beach walking the board walk! The water was ice cold and the waves were really big (you can't tell in the picture) so we didn't do any swimming. We did stick our toes in the water just so we could say we've touched the Atlantic Ocean, ha!. The lifeguards were going crazy! We just happened to be there during whats called the Patriotic Festival. Every branch of the military goes out and promotes themselves, brings all their cool vehicles and blasts music. The Marines tried to get Dave to enlist with them and it was quite funny watching Dave lead them on. Too bad they'll never hear back from him. If only they knew he's already in the Air Force! There's stands, vendors and all kinds of activities going on. People were covering the boardwalk! There were concerts and parties everywhere. Big stars were there like Lee Brice, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Andrew McMahon, Alabama and so many more. It was so fun!! We walked around just taking it all in, did some shopping and did a lot of people watching. There is absolutely no shame at Virginia Beach! Ha!</div>

This is when we found out just how cold the water was! This picture was taken the second after a wave came crashing into us and although you can't tell, we got soaked in ice cold water! This was our reaction. And no that little kid is not eating my butt :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the beach we headed to our hotel where we got fancied up and went to dinner. I really wish I would have taken a picture of our dinner attire, dangit! We walked down to this real fancy Italian restaurant where we spent almost three hours eating and enjoying each others company. It was such a nice restaurant! I found a hair on my plate, not in my food but on the plate and guess what? I didn't even care! haha gross I know but I guess that's the hairstylist in me! I threw that hair on the ground and chowed down. But seriously, you would think if you're paying that much for a fancy meal, they would at least make sure to wear hair nets? Call me crazy! On our walk back to the hotel, my feet were killing me! Who walks a mile to dinner in wedges?! This girl does! Dave was so sweet and carried me back! We decided to jump in the hotel pool and hot tub to help my feet feel better! My feet definitely felt better but my eyes about burned out of my head! They had so many chemicals in the hot tub and no ventilation in that room that our eyes were watering the entire time, haha! We just laughed about it though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We seriously had the best time in Virgina and cannot wait to go back with a little more time! It's such a fascinating place!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So the whole reason why we made the quick trip to Virginia Beach is because Dave graduated from a school there and we wanted to attend his graduation! He got his Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering and I couldn't be more proud! That degree was a killer right at the end. So many sleepless nights and a lot of stress, for the both of us! We are both very happy it's over! Did I mention he graduated Summa Cum Laude?! #proudwife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Congratulations, babe! Now on to bigger and better things :)</div>
