Gradumacation!!

Many of you have been wondering where we've been the last few weeks (and by "many", I mean "my parole officer"). Well, we've been in Sunny California having a blast graduating. They decided to hold our graduation on two very special days - it happened to be Sheri's birthday and Gerbil Fest in downtown Anaheim. So there was certainly reason to celebrate!

Ma and Pa Meyer were in attendance, along with Sheri's parents and about 16 of her sisters. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, my camera has temporarily gone missing and I am very limited on the amount of pictures I have. But here's one you can feast your starvin'-for-Meyer-lovin' eyes on:

This is Dr. Meyer and Dr. Meyer after four years of 2,437 tests, 10,212 quizzes, 827 proficiencies, and 3 bean burritos that didn't sit well with me.


This picture is living proof of my theory that optometry is being overtaken by Mormons and Asian women. We are really going to miss a lot of our friends that we made here!

After the ceremony, we went out to eat with everybody and had some amazing Cheesecake Factory food. We had a blast listening to Sheri's sisters tell funny stories, enjoying the sunshine, and eating gerbil. We ended up spending the rest of the evening in Downtown Disney admiring discounted merchandise like a $62 book called "Learn with Mickey: What sound does a doggy make?"

Alas, our graduation had to come to an end. But of course that just means that new adventures began. Here is a lightning fast summary of what has transpired in the last few weeks:

1. Sheri and I went on a cruise. Can I just say that cruises are amazing? Not only did I gain 5 pounds, but discovered that cruises now offer chocolate in I.V. form. Delicious!

2. Sheri is now employed. That's right - after 2 years of marriage, one of us actually has a real job! She will be working at a brand-new Standard Optical in Lehi, Utah. And yes, this is a plug for my wife. And yes, you do have extremely poor vision that must be corrected at Standard Optical in Lehi, Utah. So if you care about not going blind and having your life completey ruined because you didn't spend a few minutes checking up on yourself, then head on down to Standard Optical in Lehi, Utah.

3. This week we were hoping to find out the sex of our baby. But our little bean was kind of shy and so we still don't know if it is a "he" or a "she". For now, the baby will still be known by the unisex title of "Gondothor: Man Child of Unknown Origins or Destiny".

4. We will be officially moving out of my parents' basement on July 3rd, 2012 (I mean, 2009)!!!! My parents have been really awesome for letting us stay, but we realize that it is definately time to move on. We are moving to an apartment complex in Sandy, Utah. We LOVE visitors and are excited to have all of you over for a barbecue and Duck-Duck-Goose. Stay tuned!

And now, for something completely random:
