The day came for Greg.

Greg graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelors degree in business finance last week.

He looked darn good in his cap and gown.
Greg worked so hard for this.  He took college classes in high school,
worked as a door to door salesman the past three summers to put us through school,
stayed up many nights studying, a ton of study groups,
and talking to professors for advice on how to improve grades whenever needed.
Of course he is smart too, but I know it's because of his 
hard work throughout the years that makes him smart.

"How I admire men, women, and children who know how to work! How the Lord loves the laborer! He said, 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread' (Genesis 3:19), and 'The laborer is worthy of his hire' (D&C 84:79). He also gave a promise: 'Thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you' (D&C 31:5). Those who are unafraid to roll up their sleeves and lose themselves in the pursuit of worthwhile goals are a blessing to their families, communities, nations, and to the Church." 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf,, Two Principles for Any Economy, Ensign, Nov. 2009, 56

 I'm excited to see what will become of Greg's hard work from now and in our future.
I am happy to work right along at his side too.
