Brigham Young University Commencement Ceremony, Thursday April 23rd @4- over 6,000 graduates!
Right after the Commencement Ceremony. I'm graduated!!!
College of Humanities Convocations, Friday April 24th @8- getting my diploma!
Justin is everything to me and I am so very grateful that I have him to experience this time in my life with him. I love you Justin. Thank you for helping me, supporting me, and being proud of me every minute of everyday since we've been together. Oh, I love you so much!
My family. My husband. My parents. My Maddie! I was so lucky to have them all here today. I am truly so very blessed! My parents have been my rock. They have always supported me through thick and thin, through good and bad, through happy and sad. And I could never thank them enough for helping to get to where I am today. They have provided me with the tools needed to succeed. I love them so very, very much!
Besides having all the people I love the most be with me on this very special day, one of the most amazing parts of today was the moment when I presented my Grandpa Craythorne with the stole of gratitude. This is the white sash around my Grandpa's neck. I wore it all throughout graduation yesterday and today and then after Convocations I was able to give it to my Grandpa to tell him thank you for helping me to succeed. Him and my Grandma have always been a huge support not only financially but also emotionally and spiritually. Because of them I have always felt able to do anything- honestly anything! My Grandpa is my hero. Him and my Grandma have truly been a large- huge- part of my success. Not only in school, but throughout my whole entire life. I am better, stronger, braver, and happier because of them. I love them so very much.
It also meant so very much to me that my aunt and uncle, Suzanne and Neal, were there to support me today. They are both such wonderful people, and they also have influenced my life immensely.
My wonderful family!
More wonderful family! Justin's parents and grandparens were so very great to come be with us today! I am so very grateful to have them as a part of my family now. I know that they care about me so very much. I couldn't ask for more!
