Aggie Graduate!

I am now an official graduate of Utah State University!  Last Saturday was the commencement ceremony and I am so glad that I was able to walk.  I technically graduated in December but because of budget cuts they only do one commencement a year now.  So it felt a little weird to go back to campus because it feels so long since I have been on campus because of early graduation and student teaching in Preston and the like.  But it was such a fun day. 

When we got back from our trip from Denver we went over to my parent's house in Draper and they had decked out the house in graduation gear.  It was so thoughtful of them and was a lot of fun.

The walls were decorated with all sorts of this stuff.

We then caravaned up to Logan early the next morning.  All of the family went to the Spectrum where the ceremony was going to be and I walked over to the QUAD where all of the graduates were supposed to assemble.  It was so much fun to see some old friends that I haven't seen in awhile and find out what people were doing. 

We then walked over to the Spectrum and had the whole University Commencement Ceremony.  I am so grateful to an absolutely WONDERFUL family that sat through the ceremony.  It is probably not the most exciting way to celebrate your Saturday but I am grateful that they did.  My parents and sisters came up, my Grandma Dixie, Mark's parents Gus and Darlene, and later my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Lucy also came down.  It was so much fun just to spend time with family. 

After the first ceremony we went over to Texas Road House and had a huge scrumptious dinner there.  It was fun to catch up with everyone and see how things were going.

Then we headed back over to the Spectrum and took loads of pictures and then got ready for the college commencement ceremony.  Again, SO wonderful to see so many friends that I haven't seen in awhile and have the great support of my family.  It is so crazy to already be done.  It feels like college was one giant blur.  It went by so fast and was such an amazing chapter of my life.  I feel so grateful that I had the support of family and friends as I was able to go through my education.  Thanks to all of you!

LOVE HIM!
