The day came.

I finally graduated! I now have a Bachelor's degree from Weber State University in Health Promotion with a minor in Nutrition Education.
I decided to walk at commencement and I am so glad I did. I didn't realize how exciting it would be until I got there.
My friend Krystal and I lining up to walk into commencement.
Silly me, I forgot my camera's big zoom lens so Gregory had to make due with our little lens. Look you can see...
walking in to receive me degree...

I waved to my family about 10 times throughout the commencement. This is how excited I was.













Talking about how LONG graduation was...



Gregory was so proud of me and took a moment to admire my accomplishment.



Gregory only has about 3-4 semesters left at the University of Utah which means his day will come too.
