College graduate

We had a wonderful time participating in graduation festivities at BYU last week. First there was commencement with ALL the graduates--6000 of them in the Marriot center. What an impressive site! The following day was the Nursing Convocation where each graduating nursing student was recognized and highlighted. Richard G. Scott spoke at both events and Sister Wixom, General Primary President also spoke at the convocation. We felt touched and inspired to think of all the hard work of these nursing students and how they will go forth to make a difference in many peoples lives. Here are some pictures:
We found Bethany and Eliza!
