Grad Weekend

Graduation turned out so good! At Commencement Deiter F. Uchtdorf and Russell M. Nelson spoke. At Convocation my friend Melissa Quinn and one of my favorite Professors, Brad Wilcox, were the speakers. Even though when we walked it was alphabetical, I still sat by some good friends from my program.




But here's what made the weekend memorable!
My parents drove out all the way from Kansas, and they brought Melody, Richard, and Valerie. Adam, Adrienne, and Cael flew out from San Fransisco for a job interview, Adge's brother's graduation, and my graduation (Fortunately, Adrienne's brother was graduating from the same college as I was, so they didn't have to choose me over him). I had accepted that the only person missing from my brothers and sisters would be my oldest sister Lechelle and her husband.



TWIST!
I was at my Grandparents playing with the little kids and talking to the fam. Lechelle called and was saying how sad she was that she couldn't come, but then out of nowhere she jumps on top of me! She's really good at surprises like this. When I was in high school she showed up on our doorstep in a wrapped up cardboard box... haha she scared the crap out of Noelle and my Mom. For my graduation we were only missing chelle's husband Kelly. It was sooooo amazing to have all of us 8 kids together!


Taylor was able to meet my whole family. I probably would have felt overwhelmed if I were him, but he handled it so well! From what I can tell, my family really likes him. Their opinion is sooo important so I'm glad they like him so far.



TWIST! This year I'll be teaching....
