Post-Graduation Life

So I graduated last week! It was a LONG ceremony because we had over 700 graduates and I was number 689. That's what I get for marrying someone with the last name, "Wilcox." Joseph and I have been pretty busy lately. My parents came out from Wisconsin to visit and we had a blast. They arrived late Tuesday night and we went out to dinner. Then Wednesday, we went to the Bean Museum at BYU, drove up to Bridal Veil Falls, and enjoyed playing Parcheesi at our home. Thursday and Friday were graduation festivities. Here are some highlights.

This is my parent's dog who made the journey to visit Utah. She was so tired from being outside all day long. She could barely keep her eyes open.

The whole family! Could not have done it without any of them!

On Wednesday this week, Joseph and I took a day date to Salt Lake City. We went to Hogle Zoo, Welfare Square, and went to the new mall, City Creek Center. It was an awesome day and much needed break from finals/craziness. We saw TONS of cool animals. Joseph decided he wants a pet Rhino and will name him "Stampy."

I love spring time because all the baby animals are out and about. Baby geese were awesome!

Baby elephant at the zoo!

We got to see the elephants eating their breakfast. It was crazy to watch them all eat.

Baby rhinoceros eating. He looked like a garbage disposal just picking up whatever he could find.

This giraffe was being trained on how to get in the cage and out again. It was cool to watch the zookeepers training him.

I never realized how HUGE ostriches are!

Up close and personal with a tiger!

Aside from that fun, we've been... PACKING! It is one of my favorite things in the entire world. Today we fit all our boxes into our storage unit and move out of our apartment on Monday. It's sad to say goodbye to this place as we've lived here for almost a year and a half. We like it a lot and LOVE our ward but Texas is going to be amazing too.
