Graduation '09



I am finally a college graduate!! Last Thursday and Friday was graduation and it was an awesome two days. I received my degree in Exercise Science and I got a minor in business. It has been a long long road and I am so happy I am done, but I'm even more happy for the experience I had in getting an education. Nothing will be able to replace the lessons I learned while going to school. It was worth all the thousands of dollars and every sleepless night, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Commencement was on Thursday at the Marriot Center with all 6000+ BYU graduates. It was quite the experience walking with 6000 other graduates, pretty amazing. Another special thing was that two apostles were the speakers, Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Nelson. I LOVE these two so much and they gave such a good message in their talks, it was definitely a special way to say goodbye to my days at BYU.

Friday was convocation for each school where they recognized each individual graduate by calling your name and receiving your degree. My whole family was there and Rick's parents came from Cali to support me, I have the most amazing family. Thanks to my mom and dad for having such a yummy dinner afterwards. They put so much time and effort into making this day special. I love them!!

Wooo hooo!!! So what now? Well, about 3 wks before I graduated my current employer offered me a position in accounting that I couldn't resist so I am going to be staying put at my job. I am a little sad that I won't be working in the health field for now but I will definitely not be ruling it out for the future:) Now my focus will be on supporting Rick in getting his last 5 classes done until he graduates!!!!



I love these guys
