Congratulations Dan!!!!

Dan had his graduation on Friday May 18, 2012 in Rock Springs WY. He received his AS in Environmental Science and AA in Anthropology from Western Wyoming Community College. He is now working on his BS in Range Management (Science) and we will be looking at school options over the next several months. He stats at the BLM Monday (5/21/2012). He will be a SCEP witch in short means he will have a job with the BLM when he graduates with his BS. I am very proud of him!

WOW what a "sweet" grin.

He is trying not to laugh... what a nut!! :-}

He actually got both degrees in December so he was a 2011 Graduate, but WWCC only has one Spring Ceremony.

I have other pictures, but they are on my phone, I will try to post them soon too.

Happ Mothers Day!!!!

Dan got me a new purse to carry my .38. I don't really like purses, and tend to carry back packs, and messenger bags more. We saw these at the Gun Show yesterday, and he picked out the perfect one!  The gal who makes them is the wife of our local Game Warden, she desgined them for herself as she hated the bulky and in her words un-stylish plain bags that were available. She sells on the web, and I love mine!!

Plumb my favorite color and its more of a field bag look too.

There are two drop pockets for my keys and phone...they are deeper than they look in this shot.
There is another pocket above these pockets too...lots of storage :)

This front pocket holds my wallet and has little pockets for pens and  some zipper pockets that are mesh so I don't really need my wallet, but because I have to switch to my messenger bag Karen made me for my Birthday for work I need my wallet. :)

This is the best part of the bag and the reason Dan bought it. The back is all Velcro and the holster sticks in so I can adjust the gun to where I could draw easily if needed, and a strap with a snap holds it in place. There are zippers on each end so rightys or leftys can use it. Its comfortable over my shoulder, or across my body.
Thanks Sweetie!

I hope you all had a fantastic Moms Day!!
I will post pics from Dans Graduation next week!
See ya soon! D & D Brown

He ran a great 400 meter and came 10th out of he said 31 today. and His 4 X 400 meter Relay team and Sprint Medley Relay team are going to the Utah State Track Meet. Here is a pic of his Medley Relay Medal.....the 4X400 Relay metals were miss printed so he will get it later. YEAH CARSON!

On a side note he and the next runner had a baton dance of sorts at the hand off and Carson has sprained his LCL....The coaches have him working with the Trainer and hope he will be able to run next week at State...I'll keep you posted.

Hope all is well with you all!
