UO Graduation

my parents came out for graduation on the weekend of June 13th ... oh, yeah ... and to meet nate of course! at the last minute i made the executive decision not to sit in on the graduation ceremony. instead the four of us took a trip to the coast to have Mo's clam chowder and go to Haceta Head Lighthouse. i think it was a great decision. i have done quite a bit of traveling with my parents ... as the third wheel ... and it was really fun to hang out with them and have a +1 myself. sometimes i forget how much i enjoy my parents. we had a really good time hanging out.

don't despair - we did take photos in the cap and gown and hood ... so there is visual proof that i am a master!





the ever supportive parents - dave and linda


future husband (hehehe)


there is one good thing about having a very common
last name - you can find places named after you!
of course had to get a picture of Johnson Hall
(there is no Soelberg Hall, might i add)

  3. Bethany, I love the blog! Congrats on the graduation and the engagement (I'm especially excited for the latter)!

    I also went from a pretty common last name (Sorensen) to Soelberg. Which is so uncommon that you'll getting really good at saying it slowly and spelling it (with a distinct pause after the "o" and before the "e").

    I'm glad we can get to know each other before the wedding through our blogs. What a treat.
