So graduation is finally insight. December 13th, 10:00 am, USU Spectrum. I guess you can say I am excited! I can not wait until I walk in the freezing temperatures, in a gown of black and a goofy looking hat and carry out a $20,000 paper that says that I spent 4 years in a class learning how to be a teacher! :) I am actually very excited for the day, except for one minor piece of information...I have to speak at graduation. So everyone can say, "Oh but Amanda, that's an honor...blah, blah!" It's a freakin scary honor, if nothing else. After telling Jake the bad news, he replied, "I think that's great. That is a really great opportunity." It appears that many people are willing to say that, but they never had to stand in front of 600 graduates, plus family, and faculty and spill their insides out about the last 4 years at college. It's a little overwhelming, if you ask me.
So I guess I will spend my Thanksgiving vacation fretting over my graduation speech....ahh!
But anyone reading this, if they feel inclined, can attend my graduation. The more the merrier. Like I said, here are the details:
Saturday, December 13
Procession begins at 10:00 am
The "official" commencement begins at 10:30 am
USU Spectrum
Logan, UT
Just let me know so I can get a ticket for you (tickets aren't required for the commencement service, but are required for a food gathering after).
Thanks!!
The Zornes Family
Hi! We are the Zornes Family. We live in Ogden, UT and we love it! We have a house here that we are busy fixing up and making it our "own." We were married on May 13, 2006. We both graduated from colleges, although we bleed a different shade of blue. Amanda is a true blue Aggie and Jacob is a crazy Cougar. It will be interesting when its Daniel's turn to choose a college.
Jacob
Jacob works in Ogden at an accounting firm called JD Clark and Company. He really enjoys his job and the people he works with. He is an avid sports fan and enjoys playing and watching any sport. He finally became a Jazz fan after living in Utah for 5 years.
Amanda
Amanda is a stay-at-home mom and absolutely loves it. She thinks she never wants to "work" ever again. :) Amanda enjoys reading a book, taking baths, and mountainous activities.
Daniel
Daniel joined our life on May 3, 2009 and he has been the very bestest blessing ever. He is walking and getting into everything. He helps Amanda reconnect with her inner-child.
Dirk
Dirk is our adorable, mischieveous cat. She is 4 years old. She is highly talented as well, including her awesome skills of climbing the hall shelves. Daniel refers to her as "Dir" but she would rather avoid him if possible.
