We now present...UVU!

It's official: Utah Valley State College has now become Utah Valley University. Yesterday they opened the new library (which, although quite large and definitely a huge upgrade from the "Resource Center" they used to have, has many sparse and empty shelves. I guess you can't ask for perfection all at once) and had a huge party all evening long to say goodbye to UVSC and hello to UVU.

Then today they dedicated the new University. There were tons of peeps there: politicians, university board members, donors, the construction company that built the library, the architect who designed the library (he had a fantastic NYC accent), UVU presidents from the past 40 years, and President Monson even showed up to give the lil dedicatoy prayer (which I was actually quite surprised about- is that a common practice outside of Utah?).

In other news, it's finally summer and I have proof (aside from it being blazing saddles hot):














My day lilies are starting to bloom.
