Graduation!!!

YAY!!!!! Sam walked on Saturday during the Utah State University John Huntsman School of Business Commencement Exercises!! We are SO excited that he is done!! (well...minus the two online classes that start Monday..) We had such a good time and I was SO proud of my hubby! It is kind of weird to not really have to think about school...not have to worry about what we are going to do next semester, how to pay for it and all of that. We just have to worry about finding a job in his field, and then it will just be work, and building my business. I can't tell you what a relief it is for him to be done! And he is the first in his family (not inlaws) to complete a Bachelors Degree. He got his BA in Finance and Economics. But we took some pictures of the occasion, so here you go!

Here Sam is shaking the hand of the Dean of the Business College. He was so funny, soon as he grabbed his hand, he turned and looked for me. Man..I have him trained!
Look at how happy he looks here! He was beaming through the whole thing.
You can't really see it here, but he is shaking Elder L. Tom Perry's hand! He spoke at the graduation, so all the graduates got to shake his hand, we were very jealous.

Now afterwards...since it was such a Beautiful day outside...Here is our little family. Yay!
This is everyone in Sam's family that attended. (sorry...I am not looking in this one..)
Here is those in my family that came (Tanielle had to work. And Jackie, Kaleigh, and Curtis were being my babysitters..)
And here we are with both of our parents. Yay! We haven't had a picture like this since our wedding almost 6 years ago!

Afterwards we went to Sizzler (one of Sam's favorite places to eat) and enjoyed a lunch together. I LOVE their salad bar...especially their ice cream with brownies. Yum!
So there you have it! He is pretty much DONE!! We are moving this weekend! We have a storage unit all ready to go, and we have a U-Haul reserved! Yikes!! I can't believe it is finally here! Now to just get Sam a good steady job so we can start preparing for the future more! Yay!!
Thanks everyone who showed up and celebrated our special day with us!
