Rick graduated with his Political Science degree in December and I am so proud of him!!! He has waited for this day for so long, and he did it! Because of the holidays, we decided to wait until January to do his party and celebrate. We had a small get together last Saturday with family and friends and it was a great time. It was wonderful to get together with loved ones to honor Rick and all of his hard work at BYU. Rick's parents live in California and were unable to make it to the party, so we are flying Rick out to Cali next week to spend some time with the two people who influenced him and guided him the most during his education. He is so excited to go home for a week and celebrate with his mom and dad!
BYU doesn't do commencement in December, so all the graduates from December have to wait until April to walk and do the whole cap and gown thing. Rick's mom and myself absolutely insisted that Rick walk in commencement, but much to our dismay Rick has opted out and won't be walking. Maybe by some great miracle he will change his mind and put on that cap and gown in April:) I love you Rick and I'm so proud of all of your dedication and hard work throughout the years. Goooooooooooooooodbye BYU!!!!
