There's Nothing Wrong With Ohio....

Except it's far away.  Which means that my little brother Greg, his awesome wife Sarah and his two little munchkins Lizzie and Abbey have been away for far too long.

Greg has been going to Law School; at THE Ohio State University.  Apparently the THE at the first part of the name is really important.  Anyway, over the last three years, we have all become honorary Buckeyes and have loved this little part of Ohio.  Amazingly, I had hardly been to Ohio three years ago, but have spent a part of each of the last three summers there.  It is beautiful and we've made some really fun memories there as a family.  We're getting ready to go one last time, to pack up Greg and his family and move them to Colorado.... still not home, but much, much closer.

Over the first weekend in May, I was lucky enough to travel with my parents, my Aunt Suzy and my other brother Ben to attend Greg's graduation.  Although I am not of fan of graduation ceremonies per se, I will wholeheartedly admit to being thrilled by the accomplishment of graduation.  How awesome is Greg?  More importantly, how awesome is Sarah?  These folks have been going to school their entire married life and they are FINALLY getting ready to start reaping the rewards.

Our weekend in Ohio was filled with good food and some great fun.  We got a tour of the Ohio Union complete with custom Buckeye carpet and upholstered chairs and got to pose with Brutus.

The guy who won this Heisman is an Ohio State alum and the guy who 

presented Greg with his class ring he is modeling in the photo.  

I watched my niece Lizzie graduate from preschool and listened to her and her cute friends sing songs.

I even met Superman... or at least saw his socks that my brother Greg had stolen.

At the end of the trip, Greg sold his house and we were on our way back to Utah for the next big event.... Cassie & Kyle's wedding.  Here as a closing shot, is a video of my niece Lizzie belting out Katy Perry in the Atlanta airport.  This was shortly after she finished LMFAO.
