THere are so many cool things about this posting...I am not really sure where to start....I DIDN'T go to school in Rexburg and I still love and identify with this list....the pics are awesome!

Katie C. said...

Ok, first of all... I don't think you wrote your list. Where's Shelbourne Tower? I don't remember parties there.

Second, LOVE LOVE LOVE that the whole Bukey siblings have a picture at Alyssa's graduation. Reminds me of how we didn't get a picture together at our graduation, which I DON'T love.

Third, that is the nastiest thing that someone can't keep their shoes on at graduation.
