Graduation!

I did it!!! This day was one of the happiest days of my Life! It feels so good to know that I accomplished something so big!

Walking across the stage was such a neat experience! I felt so proud of all I accomplished over the past five years! All the late nights studying, many papers, tests, homework finally paid off! I am so happy to be stress free!!!

Yay! I am an Official graduate of the Class of 2009 from Utah Valley University!

President Monson spoke at Graduation and that is something that I will always remember. He told us three important things to live by they were, "glance backward, reach outward and press forward." He said, "You live in one of the most precious and privileged periods of all human history," he said, "The choice is yours. The future is bright, and it awaits you." I love President Monson! I also got to shake hands with Elder Uchtdorf who was also in attendance at Graduation!


I have loved going to school with my sister! It was fun to have a few classes together and to see each other through out the day! I am so grateful for her!

We joke that Jeff deserves a degree from UVU as well for all the help he has given me! He edited so Many of my papers and stayed up late studying for my tests with me! I don't know what I would have done without him!

Jeff's parents were so nice to take time out of their busy busy schedules to come to gradution! It really meant a lot that I had so much support from his family!


Jeff's grandparents are so supportive and came to graduation to watch me walk! How nice! I am so grateful for them!

My friend Rachael and her cute little boy Chase came to celebrate Graduation with me also! What a great friend!

How fun to have my whole family at Graduation! Thanks Mom and Dad for everything you have done for me! I don't think I ever would have gone to college if it weren't for my parents encouragement and support. There were so many times when I wanted to stop going because I never thought I would need a degree. But my Dad always encouraged me to keep going and not to give up! So Thank you Mom and Dad! I love you!


I just want Jeff to know how Grateful I am for him! I couldn't have done this without all of his encouragement and support! This is a day I will never forget and I am so grateful for everyone who believed in me and helped me to Succeed! I Love You All!
