Decisions Decisions (FEEDBACK PLEASE)

So, Me(lissa) and Me were discussing whether or not one or both of us will walk for graduation (in August). We are undecided so we are hoping for input from family and friends (aka the readers of this blog).
Pros:
An event we can invite a lot of people to and take pictures and have memories.
Cons:
We may have to come back to Utah early which would be a big problem if I am not done with my internship that soon.
There is the cost of renting a gown and such.

So that's our list
Melissa wants to walk a semester before she graduates so she can walk with me. This might be tricky. We were thinking we could just throw a graduation party for our friends and family at our own convenience and perhaps that would be just as good as an actual graduation ceremony.

Comments?
As I see it a big part of the graduation is for friends and family, so don't just tell us to do what we think is best, tell us what y'all prefer.
Thanks!

I'm just wondering how in the world you make the title and picture centered and the size you want them.  I find the html messy and can't figure out where to insert more commands...so....let me know what y'all do to make it look better.

Internships

So recently Ryan Scott and I have both started looking for internships. We're having an interesting time figuring out who is going to follow who around because Ryan's internship is more important, but I would get paid more. Seeing whereas neither of us actually have an internship and are currently just looking, that's not really a problem. Also, because Ryan must have an internship to graduate, if we both can't have one, then he'll just have one and I'll do something else.

Anyhow, if anybody has any good ideas for internships for mechanical engineering (or closely related-aerospace, bio-medical, process development, ect.) or for therapeutic recreation (NCTRC Certified, National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification) please let us know. Or if you have something to say to this, that's fine too.

Thanks all! :)

Reflections of General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

I especially enjoyed Elder Ballard's talk about father-son relationships (priesthood session). This was the first time since my mission (4 years ago) that I didn't get to watch it with my father (for those of you who don't know, my parents are teaching at a women's university in Beijing). Luckily I had my surrogate father (my wonderful father-in-law) who is a very special person to me. So as soon as we got in the car I asked him first thing about how he chose to make computer science his career.

Honey Moon Pictures

This is in Seattle.

This is a bad picture, but I thought

that checkered building was so cute.

Cute man in front of the Space Needle,

Experience Music Project, and Science Fiction Museum.

This is inside the space needle.

The picture above and below are

views from the Space Needle...SO pretty.

These are both inside the experience music museum.

We thought it was a little lame and were glad

some man gave us a two for one coupon.

We went on an Argosy Cruise...so fun.

I thought this picture was cool.

Eyes open would probably be better.

We saw neat stuff.

By the time we were done it was dark.

Tacoma. I know attractive picture of us both.

Port Angeles! Small, quaint, and beautiful.

View from the fourth story of the cool dock tower.

Mostly this picture is for Large.

(For fairly obvious reasons.)

Jelly fish! Welcome to Victoria!!!

Fisherman's Wharf...it's like a

very small floating store gathering place.

It's hard to tell, but in these pictures

this wood is covered with four things.

1) Water

2) Barnacles

3) Starfish

and

4) Shrimp

(For reals, look close.)

P.S. Some had crabs on them.

Pictures from the ferry while leaving Victoria.

Dear Mom,

This is a Hawaii license plate.

(Just wanted to rub in that I've seen more than you.)

Love,

Melissa

It was cold on the ferry and windy.

This is like an all women, all white gamelan.

Love gamelans. Awesome!

(Notice the lady in the back.)
