Graduation, of course.



Can you believe I graduated from college!?! I can barely believe it myself so it's ok if you are having some trouble. I have been working on my higher education since 2004, and let me tell you it is about time I finished. ha ha. I started out taking night classes at a community college back home and that was a very slow process. I then came to Brigham Young University-Idaho in 2007. I worked hard while I was here and now have my bachelor's degree in Psychology. Also, I graduated cum laude!!! (which means that I graduated in the top 10% of my class). I did not even know until someone pointed it out to me on the program so that was pretty exciting.

I was lucky enough to have my family come to support me and see me graduate. This is a picture of me with my parents.


Here is a picture of everyone that traveled so far to be there for me! My parents and brother came from the Seattle area, my sister and her boyfriend came from Spokane, and my other sister came all the way from Arizona!


This is my whole family minus one brother. My little brother did not come. You were sorely missed Jere!


I also have the pleasure of still living by my freakin best friend Court! She of course came to support me as she always has for the years that we have been friends.


And then finally my wonderful boyfriend helped get my family there and watched me graduate even though he had so much going on with packing to leave and cleaning his apartment. He is the best and I was so glad he could be there.


Ok, life has been a little crazy, as always.

Wow the semester just flew by and big surprise I hardly wrote on my blog. But not to worry because I did document my life in some way. For a project for one of my classes, I took a picture of myself everyday! At first it was fun, but then it turned into somewhat of a burden. But in the end I'm glad that I did it because it really shows what I did in my last semester of school and all the fun I had. :) All of the pictures are in an album on facebook called Winter '10 Picture-a-day Project and here is a link so you can check it out.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures. By the way it was really hard to chose favorites because there are so many good ones. lol.
