GRADUATION!



We did it! We both graduated on April 23rd from Weber State University!
Todd was asked to be in the graduation video. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRUczNPK9Mc

President Monson spoke at our commencement. It was really neat to have the prophet at our graduation. He gave us great advice for our future. He taught us to always remember the ABC's!
A is for Attitude
B is for Believe
C for Courage

President Eyring and President Uchtdorf were both there as well.

Todd's Graduation was at 10:30 am then mine was at 2:30 pm. It was a full day event for us!

Afterwards, our parents treated us to dinner at The Roof.
I love the food there, especially the creme brulee! So yummy!

After dinner, Todd and I and my parents headed to the Jazz game! My dad had fourth row seats right behind the basket! It was so fun to be there at a playoff game!
The Energy Solution Arena was so loud.
At the game we saw President Uchtdorf again! He was sitting just a few seats away from us so at half time my dad and I went and talked to him!
My mom snuck a picture of us talking to him.
We love the Jazz! They won the game.
Here are a few pictures I took from our awesome seats!

Thank you mom and dad and Bryan and Ann! We truly appreciate all of our family who have supported us! We couldn't have graduated without your help! We love you!

  1. Our coach Rob has always reminded me of President Uchtdorf. I just think they look like each other. That is cool you got to talk to him.
