Conrad graduates law school! And a trip to the Grand Canyon!

 

 

 

May 18th W. Conrad Mickelsen received his Doctor of Jurisprudence from

The Phoenix School of Law!

W. Conrad Mickelsen JD

 

We are so proud of all of his hard work and long hours of study and research papers and more study and more papers...

 

Hailey deserves congratulations and credit also for supporting him in this quest!

She spent many long, lonely evenings while Conrad studied at the library.

 

Here he is receiving his hood.

 



Happy to receive his diploma - but - the study isn't over yet.  He now begins his long preparations to take the BAR exam in July.

 

Hal and I traveled to Phoenix to celebrate this event (we wouldn't have missed it for anything!).  We enjoyed going to dinner and spending time with Hailey and Conrad.  To celebrate the event we took them to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for a most delicious meal.  Conrad enjoyed a well deserved filet mignon and lobster tail.  We all ate way too much but the food was delicious!  Of course I forgot to take a picture - I think I was too busy eating to think about it!

 

We went to church with them on Sunday (a very welcoming and friendly ward) and then Monday morning we went together to the Grand Canyon.  Hal and Hailey and Conrad had never been there and I visited it as a child - so it was time to go and enjoy the beauty and splendor.  We were blessed with an absolutely perfect day - not too hot and not too cold.  The crowds of visitors were not too great and we loved seeing this natural wonder.

I'm afraid that pictures don't do justice to the beauty and colors we saw in the canyon.

We finished our tour of the canyon and viewed an IMAX presentation.

We then drove to Flagstaff and had a delicious dinner together at a local restaurant and then spent the night in Flagstaff.

The next morning Hal and I left for home and Hailey and Conrad returned to Phoenix.  We loved this opportunity to spend time with them!
