BYU Adieu



This week was Cal's final week at BYU.

His Graduation ceremonies started Thursday afternoon with his Commencement Ceremony in the Marriott Center.

There were speeches given by BYU's President Samuelson, students, President Uchtdorf and Elder Nelson, songs sung and a couple of tears shed (by me of course).

[We hadn't even gotten to campus for the ceremonies and I was already teary eyed.]


Friday was the actual day of Graduation. It was a really neat day. One where I was very proud to be married to such a Handsome new graduate of BYU.






I am so proud of Cal, and all that he has accomplished in getting his degree. He has worked so hard, taken many tests, written and compiled many papers, assignments, flash cards, reminders, early morning study sessions, late evening study sessions [lets be honest here, ALL day study sessions], hours of time spent in math labs, talking with teachers, learning a new programming language, working on math problems that took hours and pages of work and solutions, and devoting the majority of his time to his studies and to being a student.


He never complained. He welcomed any challenge that came and could possibly come his way.

He was determined in every sense of the word.

Handsome, I can't possibly explain how proud of you that I am.

Congratulations!
