Graduation

All went well with the graduation. It sure felt good to walk across that stage. I was able to see and feel that my goals had been realized. After the graduation, I was stopped by a 10 o'clock Fox News camera man. He was interviewing random graduates and asked if he could interview me. I said sure. He asked what I received a degree in and what I plan to do with that degree. I told him that I graduated with a Bachelors in Child Development and told him that I plan to use my degree to help me be the best mom I can be. He then asked what I could do with a degree in Child Development. I explained the various options and stated that if there ever came a time where I needed to use my degree I would. It is a good plan B. David and I hope and have faith that I will not need to get a job, that I can stay at home and raise our children in truth and righteousness. I feel that there is no better way to improve and help society than to teach children correct principles so that they can grow and contribute to society in a good productive manner. Anyway, it sure feels great to be done. Now I can more fully focus on my dream job... being the best mom that I can be with the help of the Lord.





Here are some fun photos of the big day!

We Can Breath!

David and I each turned in our last finals today! We are glad for the semester to be over. This week has been so crazy! We have a plaque in our living room that says, "In the strength of the Lord we can do and endure and overcome all things." by Elder Bednar. This is so true. Without the help of our Savior and of the angels he has placed in our lives, I don't think we could have made it through this week. I also know that without this help, I would not be graduating tomorrow. But it sure feels good to be through this rough patch and to be able to breath again.

Just in case you missed the line where I said I am graduating tomorrow... I'm GRADUATING! I get to wear that big black gown and the nifty cap and tassel. Wohoo! It feels good to be done!
