BYU Convocation: College of Life Sciences

4.23.2010

The day finally came that I wasn't sure ever would. The day when I would be handed my diploma for my Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. Our Department was disbanded this last December, so we were moved into the Life Sciences Department, which is HUGE! I don't even want to know how many names had to be read. It seemed like they went on and on with names, but it was a great day nonetheless. Kelsie and Rob and their girls were able to make it, as well as my parents and Eric and Hallie. Thanks for coming, it really means so much!

Find the circle, and you will find me. I was lucky enough to have a front row seat! (Which also meant I got a great view of professors catching a quick nap :) )

Three cute little girls, anxiously watching
The night before, we went to fill Woof for Grandma and Grandpa, so while we were there we decided to go into the Disney Store and get Hallie Nemo. We will occasionally go in there to just look around, and she always carried a Nemo around. Typically it was one that was bigger than her, so decided to go with a more manageable size. She quite obviously LOVES him! (She is a very big Finding Nemo stage right now)

YAY! Shaking Hands, and about to receive my diploma

Emi and Grandpa

Cute, cute Alisa who celebrated her 8 month birthday watching my graduation

Hallie just LOVES her cousins, I think she may have snuck into this picture when Kelsie was trying to get one of her girls

It was a rainy day, and was not at all warm!

Hallie wanted to carry the umbrella, and my dad helped her

Hallie was ready to run

She kept running away, thinking that she was so funny! :)

This is the closest we got to a family picture

After the grand event, we had a barbecue at my parents house. It was great to see everyone!

Me with Jesse, Lauren, and Abby Larsen

Me and my Grandpa Adams

My Grandma Peterson and Alisa

Hallie is so lucky to have such great cousins!

Hallie was exhausted! She came and sat with me for a minute, and I asked if she wanted to lay down on the couch, and she said yes. This is what I saw about two minutes later. :)

I wish I would have got more pictures with everyone that was there. Sorry! But thank you so much for coming, it was great to see and celebrate with everyone. I love you all!
