Graduation? Check.

Wahoo! We are officially Brigham Young University graduates! 


And yes, it feels nice.

We had such a fun and busy week with finals finishing and graduation coming up. My dad flew out early to see his mom and shoot a wedding. I spent all day "assisting" him (eating the wedding food), and we had a blast. Check out his amazing photography! Then my mom and David's parents flew out, so it was a party in no time! 

Thursday we had Commencement, which is just basically any graduate and any person who wants to listen to an apostle of the Lord speak! Elder Perry spoke and it was great. Here we are in the crowd:


After Commencement, we had catered Cafe Rio with all our family. I forgot to take any pictures, but Cafe Rio is just as good, if not better when you get to make your own (in case you were wondering). Oh, and to end it, we had Magleby's Carrot Cake! We always eat so well when our parents are in town.

Friday we all went out to P.F. Changs for a celebration lunch. We had a huge group and my grandparents even came up for it. It was so fun. This is the only picture I can find, though:


Then it was off to Convocation. This is where each college holds a ceremony and they call out the names of the students as they walk across the stage. I walked with Life Sciences (David's college) so David and I could do it together. Here we are during the name-calling. It took FOREVER.


Waiting...

 Walking!

 And we walked without tripping!

Just a couple of graduates


 David's family!


 And my parents!


And fun fact of the day: David's mom and my mom were college roommates. I think most people know that, but another roommate of theirs was there with her daughter! Of course, after our moms all lived together for 3 years, they just loved this opportunity to catch up and reminisce on their BYU memories! So fun to get them all back together 30 years later! 


We are so grateful for our families and friends who supported us all these years to help us get to where we are today. Thank you especially to our parents. We love you guys more than you know!
