MBA Grad Banquet

This is Chris and me at his grad banquet. He will be graduating from USU's Jon M. Huntsman School of Business with his MBA next week.

I called Adam Chris' boyfriend this semester. Adam spent more time with Chris than I did. They both were presented awards tonight.
Adam: "Overcoming Adversity" Okay, so Adam not only had his tonsils out this semester while continuing to work full-time and going to school full-time...THEN, he suffered a major head injury in a car accident not long after. What a serious trooper. He will have reconstructive surgery on his crushed skull soon after graduation.
Chris: "Distinguished Student" Right now I just feel like ranting about how grateful I am for my husband. I admire and love him. My evenings with him this semester were diminished as he threw himself into his school work. I know getting his MBA was exactly the right choice this year. He spent LATE nights with his peers in the program (mostly Adam, I think), and while he was busy and maybe sometimes stressed, I know he has loved it. He is so passionate about what he does and works so hard at it! He has worked on his degree while working at Enterprise, as well as doing a research assistantship, and taking care of me whenever he can. In every project and with every group, I know he put forth 110% (I say "I know" because I was a lone wife to prove it).

Aggie Alum, Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles of the LDS church, addressed the MBA students and faculty. He has lived through nearly 9 decades and gave some great history of his generation and advice to ours.
