Graduation!



So Michael and I graduated from Brigham Young University last week. It feels like it took forever to get to this point, but it was so much fun getting here. Graduation was mostly really boring besides Elder Scotts talk and walking to get our diplomas.



I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Dietetics. Michael graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science. Michael also graduted with University Honors. (But he still has to finish his Honors thesis defense in a couple weeks)



It's hard to believe my Dietetics program is over. During my 4 semesters in the program I completed 70 projects and assignments. That averages out to 1.25 assignments or projects a week. But there wasn't usually much due the first few weeks of the semesters so I often had 2 or 3 things due in a week. I couldn't have made it through the program without Annalise (pictured above) and Dani (unfortunately not pictured because she was LATE to meet up before graduation).



We ran into Amy and snagged a quick picture.



Our wonderful families brought tons of leis for us to wear. We had easter egg leis, gum leis, money leis, candy bar leis, and even a fruit and vegetable lei for me.







We were so fortunate to have so much of our family with us to celebrate. Chris and Jackie even came out in the middle of their finals week.



After graduation we all headed to Grandma Blair's house for a party.



Mom went above and beyond decorating the whole place for us.



We played croquet in the front yard. I won the first game and came in last the second.






We had my favorite, Cafe Rio, for dinner. We made coconut and nutella homemade ice cream and had a great time together. WOOHOO!!! We're done!!
