The day has COME!!!

Brandon has officially GRADUATED! I am so excited to be able to finally say that! It has been a long time coming. I am so Proud of him! He worked so hard, and has done so much to make this happen. I guess now we have to go get a "real" job!......... not yet! I think we are in for one more summer of selling, but we are now one step closer to moving on from Rexburg, and see where life takes us next.

Brandon's family wasn't able to make it, but our friends the Hoopers came up to celebrate with us, and they are as good as family! So thank you for making the trek up here, we appreciate it so much!

We were able to go to a graduate dinner where President Uchtdorf spoke. He spoke at the commencment as well. It felt so good to be there and remember our journey at BYUI and all that we have gotten to be a part of as we went to school here. We both love this University so much, so it's a little bitter-sweet.

I am a proud wife! I am so grateful he could accomplish his goal.
Here's to YOU babe! You DID it! Congrats!

Brandon,

We are so proud of you too! What a great accomplishment! And you have done it while already proving that you're a savvy businessman and a steadfast family man. Cool title, huh? "Family Man"? That's the key, Brando, and you've got a firm grip on it. With the love of your life by your side, and a baby to love, all things are possible!
