Kevin's Graduation

I am so proud of Kevin. On December 20,2013 he graduated from BYU- Idaho with his Bachelors in Financial Economics. This is so exciting for us (especially Kevin).

In the Morning I made muffins for breakfast. I tried to make this a special day, but it is hard when the one you are celebrating is so busy. Kevin had to do some work and homework from home that morning, so he sat up in his office and did his work for a couple of hours.

Later that day, Kevin's parents came down. It was so thoughtful that his dad was able to make it. Usually his dad cannot come to things like this because the cows have to be milked. But they were both there which made this event even more special.

We drove up to Rexburg, and Kevin being the gentleman that he is, dropped us off so we didn't have to walk through the snow and went and parked the car. We went into the BYU-Idaho Center for the first half of the graduation. The General Relief Society President, Linda Burton, was the main speaker. It was nice to hear the speakers, but since hundreds of people were graduating, we couldn't see where Kevin was in the sea of black robes.

See how impossible it would be to find him

After the speakers were finished, they had the all of the departments split up to do the commencement. Before the commencement started we walked around campus for a little bit and Kevin showed his parents the campus and the building that Kevin has been living in for the past couple of years. We went back to the Hart Auditorium for the commencement. Sister Burton spoke at his commencement along with President Clark, the President of BUY-Idaho. We watched Kevin walk across the stage and get his diploma and finally be graduated!

It really was such a wonderful day. The next morning Kevin's family threw him a big breakfast party. Shannon, Collen, Aimee, Mike, Charity, Mom, Dad, and all the kids were there. It was so thoughtful of them to celebrate Kevin and this big accomplishment of his, even though it had snowed the previous night which made it hard to get to Mike and Charity's house.

I am so proud of Kevin and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our little family!
