Howe It Goes: Go Forth to Serve

Go Forth to Serve

Well, With Emily's graduation last month our 16 year run at BYU came to an end. Many great memories, both of our time there as students, and of our many visits there over the years. We visited BYU every year as we traveled to WY as the kids were growing up, then visited them there over the last 16 years.

This commencement was the 6th one we had the privilege to attend. Our own in 1972, and Jess', Rachel's, Martha's, Will's and lastly, Emily's.

There were 6000 students graduating this year. Everyone always says they're not going to "walk" but it's very cool to be a part of such a large event at the culmination of 4+ years of study and effort. Dad and I were pleased to be able to attend.

"Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve."

CONGRATULATIONS EMILY!

Rachel said...: Congrats Emily!! And Mom Have you still not figured out that we only go to that big commencement because you MAKE us go?!! If I had my way I still would have only gone to the class one where I actually got a diploma. : ) I love you lots but man I did not like sitting in that big commencement with a bunch of strangers as a form of celebration. I think we should have gone for ice cream instead! I had fun at Em's graduation with all the family. That was super!! LOve you!!; May 18, 2011 at 1:49 PM
