Friday he graduated with his MSHR and MBA.
We are so proud. Seriously. He has worked very hard. Met all of his goals. Achieved so much. Learned a lot. Become quite the professional.
These last two years have been tough on our family but, we have grown so close because of it. We have learned a lot about what really matters to us and how to prioritize our time. Putting each other and our children first even when we have so many other responsibilities and things to do. I will forever cherish these years in Logan.
As I walked into the Utah State Spectrum, where graduation was held. I immediately become overwhelmed with all of these emotions. Emotions of gratitude. Happiness. Growth. Change. Love. Hard work. I could hardly contain it. As soon as we saw the graduates walking into the building these emotions came spilling out. Then Thomas wrapped his arms around my neck and told me he would take care of me and everything would be alright. It only made the tears spill a little more.
When I told Daniel I cried. He said, "I guess it is good one of us felt some emotion, because I just didn't want to be there." Which proved to be true, after two hours of name after name being announced Daniel jetted up the stairs and we all ran away from there early.
Then the "real celebration" began at a favorite park in Smithfield. Daniel requested fried chicken, sodas, and some salads. SO all wild and crazy like that is what we did. Spent a relaxing evening with so many loved family members that came to support Daniel on his special day. Thanks everyone who made the trip it meant a lot to us. Thanks Lizzie for all of the pictures.
