Josh DID IT!!! He graduated with his Bachelor's Degree from Weber State University on April 20, 2012!! I am SO proud of my man! He changed his mind once a few times along the way, but it will be worth it in the end! He started out as a Business Major but ended up graduating with a Major in Spanish and an Dual Minor in Chemistry and Business. He has worked especially hard the past two years and it has meant some long days apart from each other, but hey.. I waited for him for TWO years so we are no strangers to patience!
The actual ceremony was in the Browning Theater on campus. Since he graduated from the Performing Arts School, it was quite an entertaining ceremony. It actually went on for so long that we snuck out! (Josh too!) It made me laugh really hard because it was full of very... expressive students who like to be the center of attention. That is NOT Josh at all, but it sure was entertaining!
After the ceremony we had to get pictures with the family. Dave also came but left before pictures. That's true love.. a brother willing to sit through a graduation ceremony with you! Jona and Gloria tried to make it, but just missed it! But we still LOVE that they tried!
For Josh's graduation party he wanted to do something fun that even the kids would enjoy. So we rented out Weber State's bowling alley for an hour and it was SO much fun! We had pizza and fresh fruit, along with some graduation themed desserts that I had made. (Thank you Pinterest!)
It meant so much to us that the family came out to support and celebrate with us on Josh's big day! Taylor also graduated so as soon as we were done at out party we went out to Taylor's parent's house for his party! It was a busy day, but so worth it! CONGRATULATIONS TAYLOR!
One thing to note, it's NOT fun walking all over campus in your third trimester of pregnancy. It was HOT, but SO worth it to be there with my man. Cannon had a BLAST bowling, it's one of his favorite activities and to be there with his cousins made it even better!
These are the invites I made for the Graduation Ceremony and the Party. I am weird and really like to design things on the computer so I had a lot of fun doing it!
