I finished up my last classes at the University of Utah in December and have already received my diploma in the mail, but I decided to walk in the graduation ceremony this spring anyway. I'm so glad that I did! It was a really fun departure from normal, everyday mommy/baby life. My mother-in-law, mom, dad and husband all took the day off work to celebrate with me. I felt so loved and special.
We went out to eat afterward and my best friend was able to meet up with us. Liz's ceremony was unfortunately at the same time as mine, but in different buildings. So I didn't see her walk, but we got to hang out the rest of the day. She and I began this college journey together, rooming in the dorms together our first year. Even though the journey involved multiple part time/ full time jobs, summers off/on, pregnancy, marriage (for me at least!), degree changes, etc., we still ended up graduating the same semester. How cool is that?

Thank you Mom and Dad, for this wonderful dinner. We had a GREAT time chatting it up and enjoying good food. And look who else showed up to join in the fun? Oh Danny, you're a riot! ha ha.
Such a happy day.
Im SO jealous that I could spit!! I finished the last final for the semester today. :P
