For the past 18 years, I've worked my tail-end off to impress my teachers and make amazing grades. And finally, finally, I'm done. I've graduated college. A great big university. I have 2 degrees. I'm qualified for a big girl job! Talk about scary!! Here are a few pics from our week of graduation celebrations! Matthew's entire family came up to Utah for the week and we had a blast! As seen below :) Thanks for all the love and support everyone! I'm finally doing photography full-time! Woo hoo!!
aren't Cristina & Emily so cute? They're my graduation buddies
Totally bored during the long ceremony
Elder Nelson & Elder Uchtdorf were our speakers. They were great! That's President Samuelson at the podium
another blurry shot at the commencement. i never bring my good camera to these events-- I'm too afraid something bad will happen. Soooooo here's a crappy shot from my little digital.
Just after they announced the BYU class of 2009!
Samuelson and Uchtdorf
my aunt and grandma and matt's parents after graduation. it was super windy-- which was awesome since those amazing caps were so easy to keep on!
me and the hubby. NOT the best picture :)
Matt surprised me :)
Me & Kristi-- Kristi was in my major and we had a few classes together. She's so sweet!
After the convocation ceremony, I was just talking to Emily & Cristina and we saw ELDER GROBERG! The movie "The Other Side of Heaven" was based off of his mission. He was at graduation for his niece that was graduating also (I THINK it was his niece... that whole day was a blur to me).
My grandma & aunt and matt's family at the cabin in sundance
ha, matt's dad passed out in the theater room
Isn't my niece the CUTEST??? She was poundin' that hamburger
Uncle Matt acting out animals for our nieces and nephews to guess. This was a chicken I think. Maybe more specifically a rooster. who knows.
And I'd like to end with the funniest video to date: Matthew acting out a raptor. It's awesome. I love that man.
