Grandpa's 80th Birthday

We had Grandpa's 80th Birthday/ Dougherty family reunion in St. George this year. I drove up with Ben and his kids and we got to the park about 30 min before that portion of the day was over. Everyone brought their own lunches and played volleyball, basketball or in the water. After the park everyone went back to their hotels to get ready for a catered dinner. Kylie sang a song for Grandpa and Pop made a wonderful slide-show of pictures from Grandpa's life. After dinner, each family took pictures and some of us headed back to Vegas. I drove back with Kara, Brad and Hallie. It was a fun day to spend with everyone and celebrate Grandpa Dougherty's life.

Done With PHYSICS!

Spring semester was really tough this year. Maybe because I took a semester off, but concentrating and actually doing my homework was more difficult than normal. I did get through the semester and maintained a 3.0 GPA. I get to keep my scholarship and I got a C- in Physics II, which means I never have to take physics again! I am so excited! I worked really hard to do well in that class and after each test it never really felt like it paid off. My friend Matt and I studied together for every test, but still seemed unsure of our grades. We both passed that class and I feel like I owe a lot of that to Matt and the motivation he gave me to keep working hard. Thanks Matt!
