Graduations

I have been a college graduate just over a week now and I couldn't be happier! After three years at BYU and two years at dental hygiene school I was more than ready to be done. It was a long and difficult journey but I have learned so much these past 5 years and I am so grateful for the experiences and opportunities I have had. I sometimes doubted that I would make it, but I did it! and I am so thankful for my wonderful family and their support as well as great friends and my wonderful husband-i love you baby! (it was awesome being married my last year of school--I got so much more sleep!)

                                                        Graduation Day!

 Andrea! We became best friends our last year because we went to school with each other every day, we were in the same clinic group AND we worked together on the weekends, we pretty much saw each other every single day and it was awesome! She helped me get through this last, stressful, crazy year, and helped me have some fun along the way!!

                                                           LOVE HIM!!

 My wonderful parents (thanks mom for telling me to go into dental hygiene--you're the reason this day happened!)

 

The fam. My big brother Chris, his wife Amanda, lover, mom, and dad

My wonderful in-laws were also in town for the big day, it was great having their support at my graduation ceremony, but somehow I didn't get any pictures with them. However, they left me something better to remember them by--a brand new kindle! I love to read so it was the perfect graduation gift!

                                                               I DID IT!!!  
                                                  


             This is my older brother Chris

             We've done a lot of things together over the years. We grew up together, we went to junior high together, we went to high school together, we both went to BYU (we even took a class together there), we both started dating people from the Dallas/Fort Worth area (they literally live 10mins apart in Texas) He got engaged to his Texas girl in April last year, so a month later I got engaged to my Texas boy. Chris got married at the end of June, Kyle and I got married in August. I graduated with my bachelors on April 14, and a week later Chris graduated with his bachelors degree! Our next step is to have babies at the same time in the future!(we'll see if that one works out!!)

It was fun to go through the college adventure together. And it was great to have our family in town for both graduations and stretch the party out even further!

 Chris' graduation in the Marriot. He graduated from the school of business management. I literally saw so many people I knew at this graduation, including my best friend, her parents and finance, a friend from dental hygiene school, a couple friends who were also graduating, a girl from my ward, a girl from my old ward, and my cousin and her adorable baby!

 The sibs. Me, Chris, and my younger brother Nik who will also be graduating from high school in about a month!

      
     Me and Chris and our Texas spouses! Our future plans include all us eventually moving down there!
                            I love you Chris! YAY for graduation!!
